Friday Evening, July 20th

Therefore i say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you recieve them, and you will have them. Mark 11:24

I read this verset his morning and it reminded me of how much our attitudes ahve to do with the success we have in life and how much we can control our outcomes. Many a motivational speaker has said what the mind sees and believes, the mind can achive and I have a large sign written on the wall above my adjusting table which says Our perception controls our reality. That is what it means to understand the reality of Full Recovery - Never a Doubt. The programming and reprogramming of our perception of what is real will lead us to achive the desirable outcome - with the outcome being the best possible recovery, body, mind and spirit for all involved. God wants nothing but the best for us and hads given us the ability to create our to create. In my book, I wrote about the Creative Principle or creating from the end backward. Nothing new but a Universal Principle and strategic principle of success which allows us to set up our outcome, to see it and actually become a part of it. Once we know what we want and we can see it , fell it and be it, the steps to create it will show themselves, then we just have to be bold and tenacious enough to walk the steps to completion. My good friend Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the chicken soup for the soul series has awlays said, "Whatever you want - wants you More". This is so cool because everyday we envision Allie Fully Recovered, in College and acting on Broadway and everyday it's conforting to know that the Universe is working hard because it wants that for us - even more.

Allie was what I call controlably snippy today. From the first thing this morning she was a little on edge, possibly because of last nights outing to the mall or maybe just not great sleep or what ever, hey we are all snippy from time to time without having to think up why but it was not bad and she was easily handelable. I make up my own words.

Of course she had a lot of therapies today and she asked me to leave at 12:30 so I got in my car and went to the movies to see LArry and Chuck the new Adam Sandler movie - infortunately I thought it was a stinker!!! Got back around 4:30 and Allie wanted to go back to the mall so we went to the elevator and when the doors opened her friends Madeline and Rachael were there (I love when her friends come) so she spent the next hour with them and then it was off to the mall again where we made a major $1.00 purshase of a purple bar of soap (favorite color) and a $3.00 bar of Godiva - still has great taste in chocolate. Some things she never lost.

When we got back at aroung 8:00 her chorus and theatre teacher (Mary Beth Shumate) from Brevard school was waiting with 2 dozen yellow roses and a beautiful card. She is so awesome. Allie really ahs a lot of great people she has aligned herself with. Quite amazing for a 17 year old to have friend all around the world but Allie is the kind of person that stays in touch with everyone she has ever met.

She is quite tired now so she is taking a shower, then off to bed. Another great day - minor snippyness but we are so blessed. Imagine just a few short weeks ago we thought we would lose her and we had no idea who would be coming back to us and today Allie is with us and Full Recovery is peeking through the clouds.

If you are in Brevard tomorrow, I hope you will be able to join us at Allie'S benefit roast. There will be three live bands, pigs roasting, a big BBQ and a silent auction. It begins at 4:00pm at the bread of life on S. Cauldwell street in Brevard. For those of you that can not make it in person, I can already feel your thoughs with us - thank you.

Nancy is flying to NY tomorrow to be with her mom on her 80th birthday and Matt is home from camp.

Thanks all the news that is news so have a wonderful evening.
