A Thought For The Day... You Have To Let Things Go Back Into The Universe ♥

''I went to New York to try acting when I was 21 years old. In my second year there, my manager fired me, and a casting director called my agent and said, ''Never send her back here, she's terrible,'' - all on the same day. I started running down 23rd Street in the snow, crying, and thought ''I'm not supposed to do this.'' Suddenly, I saw something in the snow - it was a gold-coloured shoe. I sat down on the sidewalk and tried it on it - it fit. In that moment, I understood I was being looked after.

I believe that you have to look for miracles because they're all around us. And that was my miracle. I put all my wishes on that shoe and it has sustained me for all these years. Until recently, it sat in my bedroom, (but) I realised all my dreams had come true. So, I took the shoe back to New York - I got a piece of cardboard and wrote ''Miracle shoe. If it doesn't fit, please leave it here, but if it does, open this card.'' In the card I wrote about my experiences and how the shoe created a miracle in my life and, if you find it, you're going to have whatever you've dreamed of. I left it on the sidewalk and walked away.

I believe in inspiring others, and that you have to let things go back into the universe to be fulfilled.''
