I'm looking at magazines to find pictures for my life collage (day 52). A friend lent me some Oprah magazines a couple of weeks ago when my inner voice suggested I do a life collage (psychic little brat isn't she!).
Well after looking through them from cover to cover, I realised there wasn't a single picture that I wanted for my collage! In fact, apart from the occasional inspirational quote, there really is nothing in Oprah for me.
This got me thinking about the magazines I do read. I don't read very many, probably on average one a month. Trashy hollywood gossip mags don't get a look in - apart from the occasional wait in a doctor's surgery or the like.
House decorating mags are so far removed from my day to day life that they have no bearing.
The only mags I have floating around the house are health and fitness mags - but not one single one has the word "DIET" on the cover!
Guess Coach is right, what we conceive and believe we achieve. Obviously if I am buying health and fitness mags, then my thoughts are on my health and fitness. As I believe this is what I want, it is only a matter of waiting for my body to catch up, and do a few stretches and crunches, and eat a few healthy meals while I am waiting.

thanks ooops
thanks for the heads up.... i am just about to go out for indian..... totally over accessorised....i look like an eighties cover band with a call of the wild indian twist..... it struck me that i have been reading the vacous 'womens' magazines recently - and i am making a correlation to my current appareal.... what you say is true - i know they are banal and trashy consciously - but they are also implicit - in my case i have perhaps become so full of info its (the information on the pages ) has moved to the explicit.....Yikes!! On a positive note you are right what you surround yourself u become... Thanks for the detail.....
