Meander from my
thoughts of Nicaragua for a day or two and discuss lucky charms.Do you have a ritual to bring you luck or keep you safe? Here are a few to try courtesy of my children and my own childhood.
While going through tunnels: Make a wish while holding your breath and keeping your feet off the floor of the car.
Whisper, "Parking goddess lift your face and find me a close parking space."
Burn green candles for money.
When the digital clock reads 11:11... Make a silent wish.
When you see a small pony, yell, "Eee-oooo-hypogus" (WHAT?).
Worry about what can go wrong hard enough and maybe it won't....oh-oh, that one is serious. It was brought to my attention via my daughter's psychologist that I may use this technique as my own personal amulet. Hmm, not very productive, do you think? Will it keep my children safe? My family? Illness and accidents can strike without any warning or we can keep guard and worry. Illnesses that strike the brain can be sneaky. But I am trying something new. Trusting my daughters to stay as well and healthy as possible and to ask me for help if they need me. That is the talisman I am currently trying on for size. If there happens to be any readers out there...do you have a lucky charm?

i suppose we could also add the "cross every figure toe and limb" when you really want something immediate to happen. it works almost as well as holding ones breath...
