Have you ever attempted to search through your entire back yard for a single four-leaf clover? Did you tear out every last flower in your grandmother's precious garden and every blade of grass in your father's precious lawn in a desperate attempt to find luck? Okay, maybe you haven't. I haven't done that either. (Except for those couple of times....last week...)
We all search for luck, whether it's by searching for four-leaf clover (and getting grounded for it), finding a penny on the sidewalk, or chasing a rainbow to it's end. (Or, of course catching Lucky the leprechaun before he uses his marshmallow powers to disappear.) But can't we bring about our own luck?
It's always fun to believe in luck - and, who knows? Maybe you really can get lucky-but you shouldn't rely completely on it. Maybe the reason you aren't getting lucky is because you aren't being proactive. Maybe, if you go after your dreams, the luck will come to you. It's worth a try.
For your next science test, feel free to wear your lucky underwear, but be sure to study well ahead of time. Your underwear can only do so much when it comes to acing that test. Trust me.
If you have a great idea, don't just dream about it or simply wish on a star for it. (That only works for Gepetto-and I'm sure you don't want a fairy breaking into your house and bringing your puppet to life. That would be creepy.)
Instead of waiting for your dream to come true, make it come true. Go after it! Keep a positive attitute and try your best. Lucky the leprechaun won't be able to resist you!

About Me
- My Purple Wig
- New Jersey, United States
- I am 19, a singer/songwriter, author and motivational speaker. I live in New Jersey and I love to sing, write and perform! I am excited about the release of my debut Country Music CD entitled, HOW ABOUT THIS. I've also written two books called FALCON'S PREY and LYMERIA. They are fun, easy reads for ages 9 and older and I'm told they are great for book reports. My song, THE WAY HOME, is actually a lullaby in FALCON'S PREY that I put to music. When FALCON'S PREY was published, I was asked to go to schools to talk about writing. I found that my talks were putting kids to sleep, so I needed to think of another way to keep them awake! I decided to to take examples from my books where the main characters had to overcome challenges and compare them to what kids in middle school are going through today. I introduced what I call THE PURPLE WIG THEORY and to keep things entertaining, I even put on a purple wig during the program. I called my program SHINE THROUGH. I never imagined that my SHINE THROUGH program would become so popular. I love presenting them to schools and youth groups. I am also a member of ASCAP (really cool).

Dear mypurplewig,
Nice story about Lucky Charms. I know that you shouldn't rely on your "Special Shinguards" or your " Lucky Poneo" to win the big soccer game, but I have to admit that when I was, like, seven years old, my younger sister and I plucked out half my backyard looking for a four-leafed clover. Eventually, we gave up and split one clover leaf in half and showed that to my mom. :)
