Michele: Six Weeks After Our Initial Session

MONTE: When last we met, we were talking about you being a style critic, about owning that as your overarching identity for a while, trying it on to see how it fit. Now, have there been any changes in your life on that front?

MICHELE: Oh yes, I mean, most definitely. I've actually been meeting a lot of artists and designers. I've gone back to an environment where I have the opportunity to meet a lot of people that are in the arts, too. Prior to that, I was not seeking that out, but lately I have been doing so and as a result of that I've been hanging out with producers and curators. I mean, just almost magically I meet these people and I don't know what they do, and then they tell me and I think, Wow, very exciting. I also have been approached to be a style writer for the Examiner.

MONTE: Well, there you go. You saved the best for last!

MICHELE: Yes, and it was actually kind of magical. I just got an e-mail and they said, “We would like for you to write about style for our New York Style section.”

MONTE: Well, that's a miracle and it's your proof. By doing Quantum Affirmations we can have large miracles but we can also have a lot of small miracles that lead to the bigger miracles. Do you remember any changes in your attitude that you think might have led you to be more open to being approached that way or meeting with the exciting group of people you described?

MICHELE: I through in terms of imagining myself in a different genre in terms of thinking what was possible, what was available to me. You know that before I worked with you last time I felt like I was not really connected to my passion, but then when I left here I felt a little bit more connected because I had identified something to envision in my quantumplaytion. That, in and of itself, was an accomplishment for me.

Before I couldn't identify where I was going or where I really wanted to go. So just being able to identify that actually brought it closer to me and brought it closer to the feeling that I wanted to experience and also the type of people that I wanted to meet. When I think back on it, it's amazing because, like I've said, I've just been immersed in a whole lot of very artistically rich cultural environments.

MONTE: You're giving me chills. Years ago in the subways, there was a poster with the image of a lot of big crayons on it and it affected me deeply. It was for New York's School of Visual Arts. That poster was done by a woman I would meet and become a close friend of later in my life, the world-renowned photorealistic artist Audrey Flack. The headline of that poster said, “The Times Call for Multiple Careers,” and I took that to heart.
