Episode 41 – The Magic of Our Thoughts and Attention: Cavin Vs. The Grinch

Hello everyone,

For those of you who are following my personal Facebook page, you know that I was robbed on the Friday before Christmas… WHILE I WAS HOME! I’m pretty shaken up from the event. See this Facebook post from one of my best friends: https://www.facebook.com/1168685587/posts/10215289500368636/

All of the presents I had been wrapping all that night were stolen as well as some music gear, and… my most prized possession: my vintage 1950’s leather motorcycle jacket (which was handed down from my great uncle to my dad to me). This is the jacket that I was wearing when I sustained my TBI  and I absolutely believe that it has protective force field superpowers! I intend to pass this jacket (and my Great Uncle Sparky’s protection) on to my future kid one day, so this jacket must return. It WILL return! See this Facebook post to read more about my jacket: https://www.facebook.com/physikole/posts/10215289669332860

Finally, the thieves came back the next day and stole my car.

But ya know what?…

It’s just stuff and vehicles (except the jacket), and I’ve had far worse. If they think they’ve ruined my Christmas they are wrong… VERY WRONG.

As the end of the Dr. Suess story goes, after the Grinch steals all of the presents and food from the families of Who-ville:  
“Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He HADN‘T stopped Christmas from coming!
IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling: “How could it be so?”
“It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
“It came without packages, boxes or bags!”
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before!
“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more!”

No one can steal your joy unless you let them steal your love and light!

In this podcast, we go through the events and the resolution of the robbery and how I reclaimed nearly every important item. If you believe that our thoughts matter, you will enjoy this episode!
