I just started reading this book by Sandra Anne Taylor and it's fantastic. If you're like me and thought you'd read everything there is to know about the law of attraction and The Secret, you haven't until you've read this book. It explains not only how quantum physics works, but how you can make it work in your favor instead of against you. It's much more than just positive thinking. You've got to make it a way of life. And once you do, your life will change in so many wonderful ways. Mine has already. I'm so grateful for this book.
Also, it helps to know EFT or TAT to get some kind of way to clear your old negative beliefs and replace them with new ones. I'm working on this aspect now and everything is just going so much smoother in every area in my life. I even did my first successful healing on someone else--I'll save that topic for another post. For now go out and get this book. It's so worth it.
Until next time, be prepared for the best!

Becoming Unstoppable
I, like many people, watched the superbowl on Sunday night and was amazed at the unlikely win of The NY Giants over the "unbeatable" NE Patriots. I'm not much of a football fan myself, and quite frankly, I got tired of hearing of how great The Patriots were and how there was no way The Giants could beat them.
Now I'm smiling because The Giants did something that no other team all year has been able to do--beat The Patriots. What does this have to do with aquiring abundance? Well, it's inspiring to see the underdog win in such an exciting way, for one. And if you saw the game, you know about that miraculous play by Eli Manning with less than two minutes to go as he absolutely refused to be brought down by The Patriots and escaped a sack to throw to David Tyree for the catch of the game--if not the decade. We knew they were going to win the game after that. They were unstoppable and determined to win.
I've decided to be unstoppable just like Eli Manning and The Giants. Everyone put them down and said they couldn't do it, but they proved everyone wrong. Now I know that anything can happen if you just put your mind to winning and success. I think The Giants have been watching "The Secret" and putting those principles to good use. Never let anyone tell you that something you want to achieve is impossible. If The Giants can beat the odds, you can too.
Until next time, be prepared for the best.

Feeling The Feeling
I finally get it. I've been visualizing my clear mental image of what I want for months now and trying to feel how I'll feel when I finally get it. But no matter how hard I tried before, I just couldn't feel that excitement and enthusiasm and sense of achievement that would come along with living my dreams. Until today. I finally felt the excitement and it changed my whole mood and vibration. While meditating, I visualized something a bit different from the usual and it really clicked. Like maybe this is really meant to be. If it feels this good, then it must be right for me. I can't wait to do this again before bed and I'm going to try to remember to do it again before I get up in the morning. Sometimes I can't remember to do anything before or after I get out of bed, either because I'm still in a sleepy fog, or because I'm being beckoned by my kids. But if I awake before they do, I'm going to give it a shot because I think my whole day will go well if I start off with this feeling. It's kind of hard to describe unless you've already felt it. Just a great sense of well-being. And that puts you in alignment with abundance.
Everyone familiar with The Secret--and who isn't by now?--knows that it's much more than getting that clear picture in your mind of what you want. You've got to feel it and have faith that it is already yours. And now I get it and I'm so grateful. Any time I start to lose that enthusiasm or excitement I'll just conjure up that image. It's working again just thinking about it for a few seconds. Give it a try. Just think of something you'd like to happen and get inside the image. Don't see yourself inside it, just be in it as if it were happening now. Feel the excitement and joy. Then go about your day as if it's already happened. It works, though it may take some time like it did for me. But I think it worked out that way for a reason. My CMI is meant to be. And writing about it also makes it clearer for me.
I also want to thank you for your comments. Most of them are extremely helpful. I hope I can return the favor. Thank you for reading.
Until next time, be prepared for the best!

Focus On Serving The Universe
It's been a while since my last post. My brother died last Friday and I haven't had any words of wisdom to pass along. Today I read an interview with Wayne Dyer on Beliefnet and wanted to share part of it because I found it very interesting. And maybe it will give you some insight on how to use The Secret to your advantage. For more of his words of wisdom, you can click on the link at the end of this interview.
How can changing your thoughts change your life?
You Can Change How the World Looks at YouThey say when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Einstein once said that the most important decision you'll ever have to make in your life is whether you live in a friendly universe or a hostile universe. And if you're a person who believes that you live in a hostile universe, you're going to be looking for that. You're going to be experiencing that. You'll be seeing it everywhere. You'll become a person who's always looking for occasions to be upset or to be offended or to be hurt, or depressed, or sad, or right, or whatever. If you live in a world that you believe supports you, and is friendly and is there for you, and is bringing you all that you need at any given moment, and all the experiences that you have are perfect, if you just really believe that, then, the things that you don't like you'll just be able to ignore, and the world looks very, very different. Since so much of your work has been about the law of attraction, I wanted to ask what you think about "The Secret."
Why I Turned Down Filming'The Secret'I'm thrilled that the book sales have been so great on this thing. It's really brought people to a new awareness of the power of the mind to create what you want. The reason I wasn't in that movie--I was asked to be--is that I think too much of the emphasis is on manifesting stuff. Manifesting more things. Nothing wrong with stuff and things and so on. But to me the great secret is that when you're giving, when you put your attention on what you really want and then shift to [asking] "How can I offer this to others rather than seeking it for myself?" That's the ultimate secret—the more you give, the more you receive. I wrote a book about the secret long before "The Secret." It's called "Manifest Your Destiny," and it's really much, much more about putting your focus on serving. Like, if you say to the universe, "How may I serve," the universe responds back with, "How may I serve you?" If you say to the universe, "Give this to me," you're coming from a position of shortage or lack. If you say to the universe, "Gimme, gimme, gimme," the universe says back to you what you ask for, which is, "Gimme, gimme, gimme." And you're constantly feeling as if you're never given enough, you know? So, is there an ideal way to ask for what we want?
Focus on Serving the UniverseI think the best way to ask for what you want is to say, "How many I serve?" I have a rule with myself. Which is that I start out every day by doing something for somebody else that they're usually not expecting, whether it's one of my family members or, oftentimes, it's people from around the world--somebody wants me to call them in the hospital, or I send a book or a gift. And the opening words out of my mouth are, "Thank you" when I awaken. I have found that the more I'm able to offer and give as much as I possibly can, that I can't even control how much flows into my life. It just comes in bigger and bigger.

Attracting a million dollars
No, I haven't acquired a million dollars yet, but I want to. And soon. I found the perfect job opportunity for my husband, one that is much better than the one he didn't get hired for last week. I saw this house in the real estate section of my local paper and fell in love with it. It's a bed and breakfast in the perfect location for us with a water view. At first I thought it would be a nice place to live if we were already rich. But then I thought it would be a great idea to keep it as a B&B so my husband could cook (that's what he does) for a smaller crowd and only one meal a day at that. What a great business opportunity. The only problem is the price: $1.39 million. That's a little over a million more than we can afford--at least right now. I know according to Joe Vitale of "The Attractor Factor" and "The Secret," the universe likes speed, but I'm not quite sure how to manifest a million dollars at lightening speed. If anyone out there knows, please share here.
Meanwhile, I'll keep that clear mental image of our dream house (B&B) and keep the faith that it can/will be ours somehow. I keep reading stories about people attracting their perfect houses, some for free, and it gives me hope. Then again, it makes me wonder how they're doing it. What we really need is for someone to buy the business as an investment and let us run it. I'm not exactly sure how the profits would be split, but I know stranger things have happened. We acquired our home improvements without having to pay for them, so why not up the attraction to bigger and better things?
We'll see what happens.
Till next time, be prepared for the best.

Acquired a Photographer
My husband's friend from work came over our house today and shot our bulldog--with his $700 digital camera. So I should have some good pictures for my T-shirts, mugs, baby clothes, and of course, my gratitude cards at my new cafe press store. I should have all of them uploaded and the store open for business by next weekend.
We didn't even have to pay for the pictures, so I am attracting good things all the time. Now if I could just get others to do the same, maybe I could really make a difference in the world. Well, I guess that's kind of what I'm doing with the cards.
I will keep you posted--literally--when you can buy them and start spreading the abundance. That way you can get it back to you. Karma is kind of the same thing as The Secret and The Science of Getting Rich. But maybe not so focused on money. It's always better to feel good and that way you'll be attracting more of the same.
Till next time, be prepared for the best!

The Secret Works
Okay, I’ve been a bit skeptical of all the much-hyped DVD and book, The Secret, but I tried it and it worked–I think. If you read my previous post about my hellish home repair experience–painted kitchen counters–you know I’ve been going through a rough time. Not to mention losing my brother-in-law and finding out my sister has breast cancer all in the same week. I’m a firm believer in the principles in The Science of Getting Rich–see previous post and links for more information about that free e-book that changed my life. But when life throws curves at you and you’re stuck thinking you attrracted it all (according to The Secret, we attract everything to us even the bad) it gets kind of hard to believe. I mean I just wanted to have nice new kitchen counters, so why did mine turn out to be worse than before? Maybe because I lost confidence in the workers who were in charge. They left my counters a wreck and we didn’t know what to do since there was no more money in the budget to fix it.So, last night, my husband and I watched The Secret again after viewing it once last fall. Well, I decided to picture my counters the way I wanted them, no matter what they currently looked like. Today, I had a call from the contractor saying he’s willing to install new countertops–which is what we wanted all along–on top of our newly destroyed ones–at no cost to us. Wow! I was shocked because this guy had been anything but willing to help us before. Now, without even a phone call from us, he says he’ll fix the problem. And when I called my husband at work to tell him, he told me he got a call for a job interview next week–without having to submit a resume or anything! That was fantastic news because my husband hates his current job. He had been layed off from a great job three years ago and now three new jobs opened up in his fromer place of employment and my husband is first in line to get one. I’m thrilled!Was this some kind of magic because we watched The Secret last night and decided to put it to work? I can’t say for sure, but it is a big coincidence otherwise. I prefer to think that we’re changing our luck by changing our thinking. Of course, The Secret is not the only self-improvement tool I’ve used in the recent months, and I will get into the others in upcoming posts. But this news is too good not to share. Perhaps I should have saved it for my upcoming Healing the Easy Way blog!Until next time, be prepared for the best!

The Secret Still Working--If I can help it.
We have our new counters–ceramic tile. They look much better than that crappy paint job they left us with last week. And we got them at no extra cost us! The contractor even came to our house yesterday while the guys were finishing up and apologized to me and my husband. We were rather shocked. Maybe he’s seen The Secret too? Anyway, I’m finally free to use my kitchen–when the grout dries.There is one tiny problem, however. Our sink isn’t laying against the countertop like it used to. And our water pressure isn’t as strong. I guess that’s two tiny problems. No major deal, but I’m not sure if I should complain or just let it go. Afterall, we got way more expensive counters than we expected, and they make our kitchen look newer and brighter. But that kitchen sink just doesn’t look right.In The Science of Getting Rich, as well as The Secret, we’re not supposed to focus on what we don’t want or the problems. Only what we do want and what we’re grateful for. Well, I’m grateful for the counters and for getting my house back to normal–almost. I do want the sink to be fixed, and I am trying to picture it the way I want it. It worked for the counters, why not the sink?There’s a long story to why we didn’t have to pay for all this and it was also a stroke of good luck–or just attracting something good into my life by focusing on gratitude. Next time I’ll tell the whole story. Until then, I’m trying to stay grateful to the workers for all their efforts instead of wondering why these people can’t put the sink back to where it was before.

The Secret Works, But You May Not Always Like What You Get
We now have our new ceramic tile kitchen counters and they look great. Especially now that we shined them up with some floor wax. Now we’re waiting for the workers to put the sink back down so it rests on the counter. But the Einsteins who came to fix the leak that they left us with when they popped the sink (same home repair company) said they couldn’t do it. So we asked that the person who popped the sink come back and put it back in right. But I’m not holding my breath. We got the promise from the contractor that they’d be here on Friday so I waited all day and wasn’t so surprised when they didn’t show. This is the biggest team of inept labororers I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve heard bad contractor stories before, but I don’t even know how some of these people got jobs in this business. My husband has spent most of his nights fixing stuff that they did wrong. And they even had to use my husband’s tools while they were here because they didn’t have their own. Then one of them walked off with all our tools–even the ones in the garage–and also took the clips to our sink so my husband can’t fix it even though he knows how and they don’t. We did get the tools back, but not the clips.They don’t even have their own tools! What kind of home repair business doesn’t even have their own tools?I know, where’s the gratitude for getting all this work done for free, you’re probably thinking. And it is there. We just didn’t realize what a huge amount of work would go into redoing our kitchen counters. And we didn’t know we’d be taking on a do-it-yourself project. If they’d been done right in the first place, we wouldn’t be complaining. We are grateful to have our kitchen back. We’ve had to keep our counters clear for the past 2 weeks and now we finally can use the microwave and toaster in the kitchen.We are grateful for getting a grant to cover our new roof–which was done by professional roofers who know what they’re doing–and kitchen floor and counters. But if I had it to do all over again, I don’t know if I would bother. Maybe after the dust settles I’ll think differently, but this has been one of the most stressful times of my life. And I think if we got to choose the contractor and were paying for it ourselves things would have turned out different.Originally I was totally picturing our new floors and countertops looking great. I just didn’t know what a long and difficult process it would be. That’s the thing with The Secret and the law of attraction, you don’t ask to know how or when, just the outcome. So, I guess in that respect, I did get exactly what I wanted. It’s all in how you perceive it.Next time I hope to have my sink fixed. And just maybe I’ll have more positive news to report. But The Secret does work. Just know that sometimes things get much worse before they get better. In the end it should be exactly the way we want.Till next time, prepare for the best.
