WRITER CLAIMS AFFIRMATIONS WORK

BELIEFNET HAS A STORY that, boiled down to its essence, says all I have to do to move back to the country so I can have dogs again is chant affirmations. I don't think so, but since city living becomes more oppressive by the day, I'll try just about anything to escape it: where I live is well outside the ghetto, but too many of the ghetto-dweller youth hunt elderly as prey, and the local crime problem is so bad I'm literally afraid to go out after dark except by automobile. Three bad-news episodes in the park ended my daily exercise-walks there, and after coming home to encounter a smirking junky lurking in the very courtyard of my building, I watch my back even crossing the parking area. So perhaps I'll start reciting, "By the grace of God, I am achieving financial independence, and in good health I am returning to the country," all in the hope of making it true, of once again finding a home in the land of coyote and raven where you can see the stars (and dare step outside to look at them) and – best of all – where you can keep dogs. Big dogs. I truly despise it here; surely such chanting can’t hurt, even though it's never worked for me before. Meanwhile, here's the Beliefnet link.
