About The Blog and Its Author

THE SECRET IS WAGS? is a blog about the power of energy vibration.  Here’s the premise (based on the teachings of Abraham, as translated by Esther Hicks):

The minute I desire something, the nonphysical part of me (which is the greater part of me) immediately becomes what I desire vibrationally.  To experience what I want, I need to get in alignment with that nonphysical part of me.  To get in alignment, I have to be thinking thoughts that are a vibrational match with what my nonphysical self has become.  I know I’m thinking such thoughts if I’m feeling good.  SO if I feel good, I’m moving toward what I want.

I’ve never devoted myself fully to making sure I choose thoughts that feel good.  As of January 17, 2010, that is my primary focus.  This blog is about that task.

Who am I?  I go by “Tailwags.”

I’m a woman on the verge of 50 years old.  I’ve had a lot of what people would call success in my life.  I was raised in a good home, an only child.  Wasn’t beaten or deprived.  I have a B.A. in Psychology and a law degree.  I have had great jobs in the legal field—made good money and enjoyed success.

I had a good first marriage to a great guy who was my best friend.  We split up because he wanted children, and I came to realize that I didn’t.  I prefer dogs.  I’ve had great dogs in my life:  Dizzy, a cocker spaniel lived to be 9; Muggins, a Springer Spaniel, lived to be 17; Ducky, another Springer Spaniel, is an exuberant puppy who challenges me and delights me daily.

I enjoyed some single years, got to know myself, and came to enjoy my own company.  I found and married an exceptional man who I love and who loves me in a way that every woman should experience.

I’m a writer.  I’ve sold short stories, columns, essays, poetry, greeting card copy, and three books.  I’m currently looking to sell a young adult series (first book of the series is finished), and I’m also working on a memoir that centers around my life with Muggins and how her work as guide and mentor wasn’t finished when she died.

I’ve done internet marketing.  I’ve had multiple websites.

I’ve had money.  Now I don’t.

I spent most of my life slender until I was in my late thirties, and then I hit 250 pounds.  But I lost the weight and returned to the size 10 I was before.  Then gained it all back again plus 50.  Obviously I love food a little too much (actually I love the numbness that overeating gives me—but I’m working on that).

I live in the trees near the ocean.  I love rainy days and solitude.  I love reading, playing the piano (which I’m relearning after years away from it), drawing, writing (obviously), walking on the beach or in the woods with my dog, playing with my dog, watching my dog sleep, training my dog (okay, let’s make this simple—all things dog), watching movies, playing board games, cooking, traveling, dancing, laughing, sex, picnics, wind chimes, long Jacuzzi baths, plush animals, driftwood, bright colors (especially purple), pizza, wine, and last but actually it comes first in order of preferences—doing pretty much anything with my husband.

I’ve been on a long road to happiness.  I’m a therapy veteran.  An ex-seminar/workshop junkie.  A compulsive eater.  A meditator.  An experimentor with alternative healing practices.

Now I am a woman determined to be a deliberate creator of an exceptional life.
