Earth Hour
Here is an excellent idea to promote earth abundance. And it's free and easy to participate. Think of ways to have fun with this. Until next time, be prepared for the best!
ONLY 10 DAYS UNTIL EARTH HOUR
The momentum is building for Earth Hour—8 to 9 pm, March 29, 2008—the global movement to shut off the lights for one hour to make a bold statement about climate change. More and more individuals, businesses, and even cities are planning to participate. Together, we’ll deliver a powerful message to the citizens and leaders of the world about the need for action on climate change.
Earth Hour is an opportunity for each one of us to take action, influence others and start a wave of change that alters the course of climate change. But turning off your lights is just the beginning. What can one person do in the face of a global challenge? Here are some easy tips to help you make a big impact:
Make it Happen
It’s easy and free to be part of the Earth Hour movement.
* Be sure to be counted. Sign up for Earth Hour and commit to turning off your lights on March 29 from 8 to 9 pm local time.
* Urge your friends, family, colleagues and contacts to show their support. It’s easy to engage and inspire. Use or modify our sample Tell A Friend e-mail.
* Blog about Earth Hour. Add an official Earth Hour web banner to your blog, website, or online page. Or start a conversation about climate change when you wear Earth Hour stickers.
* Spread the word. Earth Hour could be just the excuse you’ve been waiting for to knock on doors on your street or in your building. Ask them to go dark. Create your own event, such as a neighborhood Earth Hour celebration.
Reach Out, Speak Out, Go Out
Shutting off non-essential lights for WWF’s Earth Hour on March 29 will give you some time to think about how you can be smarter about the Earth’s resources.
* You don’t have to sit alone in the dark. Talking about protecting the planet for future generations can make for a very pleasant evening. Couple your conversation with some organic chocolate (dark, of course!) and make Earth Hour a night to remember.
* Earth Hour is on a Saturday night. If the weather’s good, try a picnic under the stars. Ask your favorite restaurant or bar to dim their lights and participate in Earth Hour. And if you’ll be at work, take a look at our tips for businesses and restaurants.
* Plan a get-dark party for Earth Hour. The younger crowd can host a slumber party complete with scary stories, hold an acoustical jam session or bring friends together to do some dancing in the dark. Don’t worry about decorations—it will be dark!
* Check in with a local astronomy club about star gazing events. The night sky provides its own light show and here’s your chance to take a break and soak up the view.
* You can still text in the dark. Make a list of all the ways you are going to reduce your energy consumption: unplug unused appliances; change to compact fluorescent bulbs; properly inflate tires; adjust your thermostat. Text your list to others and challenge them to make their own lists. Check other lists for ideas you may have forgotten.
The Earth Hour idea has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world and I hope that it has captured yours. I look forward to participating in Earth Hour at the same time as thousands of dedicated WWF supporters like you. Thank you for being a part of this amazing event.

More on Energy
Here is a Daily Om that shows how the law of attraction works with energy--and the importance of energy therapy to clear your path to abundance. Enjoy!
February 15, 2008
Undistracted Energy
Pure Thoughts
If we make no effort at all, our thoughts usually scatter in a vast array of directions. They start and stop and move in surprising ways from one second to the next. If we try to follow our thoughts without controlling them, we will be amazed at how truly inconsistent they are. Yet, if we apply our minds to a specific task, especially one that interests us, they gather together and allow us to focus our attention, creating great power and energy. This is what is known as pure thought, because it is undistracted.
The law of attraction—like attracts like—influences all energy, including our thoughts, and this is what makes pure thought so potent. Our undistracted thoughts create a powerful magnet that draws similar energy into our vibrational field. As a result, the longer we are able to hold positive thoughts in our minds, the more powerful the positive energy around us becomes. We don't need to focus on action and controlling so much when we are surrounded by energy that draws what we want toward us. We can simply respond to the opportunities that naturally come our way. When this is the essence of our experience, we can go with the flow, knowing that we will be okay.
If pure thought is a body, it is our emotions that supply the heart that can really bring it to life. Our thoughts and feelings exist in relation to one another, and they form a feedback loop through which they communicate and empower each other. When we hold a thought in our mind without being distracted, we have achieved pure thought. When we have a positive emotional response to that thought, we enable it to dance and move and breathe itself into existence.

Happy Valentine's Day
This is a time to send cards of appreciation to people you're lucky to have in your life. I know it's known for lovers and sweethearts, but you don't need to celebrate with a special someone if you don't happen to have one. You can send cards/gifts or just phone calls or e-mails of appreciation to anyone. Kids in particular are grateful for the gesture. What could be more rewarding than giving a child a reason to smile?
So, if you find yourself spending this valentine's day alone, just think of all those people in your life that could use a friendly reminder of why you appreciate them. And also remember, you don't need a special holiday to send gratitude to anyone. Send a card every day and watch your returns start increasing in an abundant way.
Visit http://www.cafepress.com/karmicbulldog for a great selection of gratitude cards and gifts for any occasion.

Thoughts on Thoughts
Here is the latest newslater from Croz.
Thoughts on Thoughts.
I have been concentrating lately on the power of our thoughts, I was reminded of the fact that nothing comes into being without first being a thought. The transition from us thinking we can do something to knowing we can do something is really powerful.
I recall the story of Roger Bannister, the first man to run a sub four minute mile. Up until this point no one believed that this was possible and mentally every runner was programmed to believe this. In effect there was a subconscious belief that a sub four minute mile was impossible. As soon as people heard that a sub four minute mile had been run, the subconscious beliefs and programming in all the other athletes, were changed, and within in the next few years numerous people ran sub for minute miles, slowly improving on the previous time. Do you think Roger Bannister thought he could NOT run a sub four minute mile?
This is proof positive that we limit our abilities to beliefs that are instilled into us by incorrect facts. We actually create what we believe to be the truth. Our entire belief and faith system is moulded by others and we then absorb further information and filter it using the knowledge and beliefs we have to date, most of that knowledge we use to filter the new information being at best incomplete.
We see people in all walks of life doing things that we think are impossible, or think they are lucky, or that they happened to be in the right place at the right time or they had special talents or ability and we relate all these things to what we think. Every one will look at these situations and think totally differently about them, based entirely on what they had allowed in to their programming in the past.
Why is it then, that we programme ourselves to resist information that will give us a better life? There is so much information and study regarding how we can control our lives by controlling our thoughts and yet a majority of people will not even consider trying to change their lives by changing their thoughts.
I have mentioned in recent articles that I have been experiencing a very challenging situation regarding someone who I had really assisted and befriended over a long period, they have really done the most awful things, that you would not expect from a total stranger. During this time it has been my faith in the universe and my ability to control my thoughts that has got me through. I have constantly commented to my wife as to how we would have coped prior to having this new found control.
In my opinion, we try and live our lives in a very disjointed manner, We are physical, mental and spiritual and we are programmed initially to pander to our physical being. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, but without a balance of mental and spiritual awareness, we create a roller coaster ride of extreme highs and extreme lows.
We have already discussed the power that the mind has over our physical body yet we rarely challenge our beliefs as to its capabilities. We prefer, instead, to look at others and give reasons as to why certain things have, or have not happened.
Almost all biographies of successful people in all fields and all walks of life, give credit to the fact that they had vision and that they believed that they could achieve this vision. They also credit the existence of a power that wants us to have everything we desire. If then, these in some cases, very average people can align things to give them great success, why can’t you?
You know why! You refuse to allow yourself to explore the possibilities and prefer to stick with the life you have, albeit not the life you want. Most of us look on at situations and say ‘ I wish…….’ Not realising that if you bothered to just learn how to control your thoughts you could achieve anything that you want.
OK! I know this is a well worn path, and you have heard this statement and advice wrapped up in a multitude of guises, but I can assure you that you are only limited by you. We are our own best friend, and our own worst enemy. Nothing happens by chance and how we decide to create our life is entirely up to us. A lot of people believe that working hard physically and not treating yourself to the pleasures of life, will in some way earn you a medal to show that you have only taken what you believe you are worthy of.
All living things have an inbuilt desire to be the very best they can be, a plant will grow to its very best using all the nutrients available to it, insects will grow to the best they can and also have a built in will to be a team player all animals will grow and live their life to the full using all available means and facilities, why is it then that human beings have found some perverse logic in restricting their growth physically, mentally and spiritually. It just does not make any sense.
We are told that by thinking in a certain way, we can alter our destiny, and most of us just say ‘rubbish,’ another section say , ‘I will give it a go’, and give up at the first hurdle, and very few follow the guidelines, experience a better life and success to the level that they desire.
Many of you will be familiar with Josh the young lad that I agreed to mentor to earn one million dollars in one year. I agreed to do it and it became a very public affair, as Josh was going to write a regular blog. Armed only with my firm belief that it would happen, I had no idea how, we started and let the universe guide us. Now Josh was working for a company at the time and was in debt, six months into the challenge, Josh has just moved into his second lot of offices, has employed a team of staff, and is now set in his new business to exceed his original desire by the end of the year.
The point here is that Josh had a belief in himself and has just followed the very basic elements of the teachings in The Science of Getting Rich. Although Josh has had guidance, it is purely his vision that has got him to where he is. Follow his journey on www.thehappysecret.com
The story of Josh is no different to the story of Roger Bannister, they both simply would not let incorrect programming stop them from achieving their goal.
When we suddenly realise the possibilities that can be created just by us changing our thoughts, what actually drives us to manifest our visions. This is the most important part, the actions we take to realise our vision. Time and again, I get confronted with people telling me how much they have been thinking about getting a new house, but they have not put in any effort to get closer to their goal.
This really is where you have to radically change your programming, because it is no earthly good expecting things to change, if you are not prepared to have faith in the universe to deliver. It is always our doubt that stops the delivery. We say that we are doing everything correctly, but the old subconscious is there in the background, telling you what can and cannot happen, using all the incorrect knowledge that has got you to where you are.
I used an analogy recently about transitional disruption, this is the period when everything appears to be going wrong. The analogy was referenced to renovating a house. When you renovate a house you have a plan as to what you want to achieve, the first thing you do is to rip all the old fittings and fixtures out, and possibly pull down some walls etc.. If someone came and looked at the house in this state they would think that the house was ruined, it is only the fact that you can picture the house finished, that keeps you focused. That is the same as creating your goal, picture it in your mind exactly as you want it to be, as in the renovation keep feeling what it will be like when you get it. If you get to the point where you think everything is going wrong, that is almost certainly all the changes occurring, so keep your faith and move forward.
A lot of people do not find these teachings until they have their back against the wall, and then they try and force things, by expecting immediate results. I am in no way saying that it is not possible to get very quick results, but the mere fact of putting a time frame on your goal, is actually very stressful, and you will be attracting stress back into your life.
It amuses me that we are always prepared and ready to allow bad or negative things into our life, and yet when we are told that using the same transmitting system we can attract good things, we rebel and default to our old thinking.
The ability to think of your vision and hold onto the fact that it is going to manifest, when things are really bleak, is the hardest thing you will have to do. Some people find this easier than others. It took me a very long time to have total faith, but I just used the tiny results I was achieving to boost my faith, and then one day I just said I have to prove this thing one way or another and I went through a very dark period hanging on to a vision of what I wanted and through all the appearances of things going wrong I kept believing that things were going to result in being what I wanted.
Eventually things turned out even better than I had imagined.
My simple message here is that as soon as you stop fighting your thoughts and you get all three parts into harmony, that is physical, mental and spiritual, your life will transform. What some people regard as a miracle is only someone allowing all parts to flow in harmony and allow the universe to do its job.
You can be in total control, the question is, will you allow yourself to be.
What is the next impossible thing that we will suddenly realise is attainable.

This is how the Law of Giving and Receiving works.
Giving is the other side of receiving.
Therefore if you wish to receive anything in your life, you first need to give it.
It is that simple.
If you wish happiness, simply give happiness to the people around you.
If you wish love, simply give love.
If you wish friendships, joy or abundance simply give it to the people around you and you will receive loads of it.
When you withhold your giving, you are withholding your source of abundance.
You are stopping the flow of your own energy and you suffocate.
No wonder I felt joyless and dead when I stopped giving.
Sounds a little too easy, doesn't it?
Where's the catch?
The catch is that you have to give without expecting anything in return.
Giving for the sake of giving.
Only then the flow begins.
The intention behind the giving is the most important.
The intention has to be for the creation of happiness, harmony, peace and joy, as these are fundamental to life.
The reward will be there when you give from your heart and without condition.
Giving should be a joyful act, just as a child bringing a flower to his mother.
Albert Schweitzer said, "The one who gives is the one that receives most".
The easiest way to fulfill your wishes is by supporting others to achieve their wishes.
This principle is true to individuals, organizations, businesses and nations.
If you wish to be blessed with all the good things in life, learn to give a blessing to all that surrounds you.
Even a thought and silent blessing has the power to start the flow of giving and receiving.
Start practicing the Law of Giving and Receiving and watch your life become abundant and joyful.

The intention has to be for the creation of happiness, harmony, peace and joy, as these are fundamental to life.
The reward will be there when you give from your heart and without condition.
Giving should be a joyful act, just as a child bringing a flower to his mother.
Albert Schweitzer said, "The one who gives is the one that receives most".
The easiest way to fulfill your wishes is by supporting others to achieve their wishes.
This principle is true to individuals, organizations, businesses and nations.
If you wish to be blessed with all the good things in life, learn to give a blessing to all that surrounds you.
Even a thought and silent blessing has the power to start the flow of giving and receiving.
Start practicing the Law of Giving and Receiving and watch your life become abundant and joyful.

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.

Creative vs. Competitive Mind
Here is the latest newsletter from Croz. Seems every time something comes up that seems to get in the way of abundance for me, Croz writes about it. This is really informative. Enjoy!
Hi All
I am writing this as a result of many emails lately commenting on the fact that things were not going according to plan for them.
With the vast amount of interest in LOA and associated subjects lately, it seems that there is more confusion than answers. One of the things that seems to be so prominent, is the fact that everyone has gone into COMPETITIVE mode. This is one of the main teachings of Wally, he states quite clearly that you should be CREATIVE not COMPETITIVE. Every time we force an issue whether it be financial , emotional, relationship or absolutely anything, we are subconsciously going into COMPETITIVE mode.
I think that we should all just take a deep breath and have a look at the situation as it is now. I am thrilled that there is a huge wave of interest in these teachings and that so many more people are becoming aware. The problem I have is that no one seems to be telling people about the hard work needed to really understand these teachings and make them work for you.
I used the analogy recently of a gym selling the services of a personal trainer. If they said to you, that the next 8 weeks are going to be really hard, you are going to feel absolutely terrible every morning, your body will ache, how ever you feel we are going to drag you out of bed at 6.00 oclock, your muscles are going to burn, we are going to push you harder than you have ever been pushed and when you feel that you have had enough, we are going to raise the bar and push you even harder, etc… You really would think about signing up. When you are in possession of all the facts you can make a calculated decision. Of course the really COMMITED people would sign up and really benefit, but a vast majority would THINK about it.
That is why when you are making your decision whether or not to use a personal trainer, they only tell you about the benefits. You will look and feel fabulous, “Oh great where do I sign?” It is later that you realise the effort needed and many people fall by the wayside, they are not prepared for the hard work to get to the target. That is the same as the sales and implied benefits of these teachings, no one is telling the truth up front as to what is really involved to understand and learn these teachings.
I can honestly tell you that these teachings when applied correctly and with the knowledge as to how they work, are life changing. The learning curve though is anything but easy. Most people do not realise that their conscious mind does not actually make any decisions, that is all done by the past programming that is stored in your subconscious. Therefore however convinced your mind is about doing something, your subconscious always has something to say. Sometimes you do something against what your subconscious advises and all of a sudden you get a queasy stomach and fell very uneasy. It does not matter if what you do is absolutely correct, if your old programming disagrees you will have conflict.
It makes sense then that we should look at our OLD beliefs and see if they have relevance in our lives today. If they do not, we have to WORK on removing them. That is the hard work that is just the beginning of really understanding. How many times have you started to do something or had an idea and the little voice in your head says, “Don’t be silly, how can you do that , you are just SO and SO from the wrong side of the track, just forget it and get on with things.” We all have and they are just ideas and incorrect facts that have been planted over your life to keep you in line. There are so many things that we believe or have been told, that are just not true. Why then do we still listen to them when we are making a decision?
This is one of the fundamental problems with all these new teaching ideas. They tell you to imagine this or that and dream of some fantastic lifestyle in the future and you can have it just by thinking. That is exactly when your subconscious comes in and tells you all the reasons why you cannot do or have what you are thinking. As I said earlier, the facts are that you CAN have what you want, but you must believe that you can have it and also be sure that it is what you want.
As an exercise just dig deep and find some of the things that your subconscious uses to hold you back, that you know not to be true.
Next time we will have some exercises to find and remove these blockages.
Croz
Here is something that you can think about: it wraps up competition and old programming in one statement.
Why is it that if someone who you do not know has good fortune or someone wealthy gets more wealth, we do not seem to care. But if someone we know, especially someone who is on the same social standing as us gets sudden wealth, either by their business or if they win it, we seem to be jealous and are not immediately happy for them.? Be honest when thinking about this!
When your mind is correctly programmed you will not even think about that situation.
The only time to pay attention to any ones wealth, is if they offer to share it with you. At that point be very attentive.
It is a worry isn’t it that even though we know the truth our mind still tells us something different.

Happy New Year!
Another year gone and I for one am really looking forward to 2008. Not that 2007 was such a bad year but I have a gut feeling that 2008 will be prosperous for many. Could be because I watched world renowned psychic, Sylvia Browne, on The Montel Show this morning where she announced her prosperous predictions for 2008--including that our next president will be a democrat. That alone is enough to brighten my day. A new year brings so much to look forward to. It's like a new beginning. A chance to start over. Many people make New Year's resolutions and I usually make a couple too, though it doesn't necessarily have to be a new year to make a change. But it can be a good time to make some positive changes since that's when we tend to think of new beginnings. Maybe this year we can reach beyond the typical lose a few pounds, eat healthier and get organized. Although those are good goals to achieve, maybe you could decide to go after your dreams or get in touch with an old friend. Or maybe you could decide to have more fun and feel good about yourself and your life. That's one I plan on putting into effect.
Well, I've got to get back to my New Year's Eve festivities--watching movies with my husband and kids. Now it's time to make hot fudge sundaes! So much for the eating healthier resolution. My days of drinking champagne until the wee hours of the morning on this night have been long gone since I got pregnant with my son 6 years ago. Even though sometimes I long for those days, I wouldn't trade my family for anything in the world.
So have a happy new year and good luck on those resolutions. Try to make ones that will bring you more peace and abundance in every area of your life.
Until next time, be prepared for the best!

Law of Giving and Receiving
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is expecting great things in the new year. Here is something that I read in Croz Newsletter--he's a fabulous teacher of the law of attraction and a member of the SOGR network and forum. Anyway, he has some good advice which is similar to a post that I did a few months ago and I decided to post Croz's advice here. Enjoy and until next time, be prepared for the best.
This is how the Law of Giving and Receiving works.
Giving is the other side of receiving.
Therefore if you wish to receive anything in your life, you first need to give it.
It is that simple.
If you wish happiness, simply give happiness to the people around you.
If you wish love, simply give love.
If you wish friendships, joy or abundance simply give it to the people around you and you will receive loads of it.
When you withhold your giving, you are withholding your source of abundance.
You are stopping the flow of your own energy and you suffocate.
No wonder I felt joyless and dead when I stopped giving.
Sounds a little too easy, doesn't it?
Where's the catch?
The catch is that you have to give without expecting anything in return.
Giving for the sake of giving.
Only then the flow begins.
The intention behind the giving is the most important.
The intention has to be for the creation of happiness, harmony, peace and joy, as these are fundamental to life.
The reward will be there when you give from your heart and without condition.
Giving should be a joyful act, just as a child bringing a flower to his mother.
Albert Schweitzer said, "The one who gives is the one that receives most".
The easiest way to fulfill your wishes is by supporting others to achieve their wishes.
This principle is true to individuals, organizations, businesses and nations.
If you wish to be blessed with all the good things in life, learn to give a blessing to all that surrounds you.
Even a thought and silent blessing has the power to start the flow of giving and receiving.
Start practicing the Law of Giving and Receiving and watch your life become abundant and joyful.

Christmas Abundance Story
Here is a little Christmas story you might enjoy as the holidays are rapidly approaching. If I don't post again before Christmas--which I probably won't because it's only 3 days away--have a wonderful holiday!
Bob's Holiday Miracle
By Rebecca Fine
"Can I really do this?" Bob asked himself. After all, he'd never even laid eyes on the woman and her two daughters until a few minutes ago, when he'd pulled into the gas station to fill up the tank.
He'd barely glanced at the rustbucket sitting on the other side of the pumps, hood up. Guess she's having some car trouble, he thought as he swiped his credit card and started the gasoline flowing. Lucky it didn't happen out on the highway or on some deserted road in all this rain ...
"Excuse me," came the voice from behind him, startling him out of his idle wondering. The woman smiled a bit nervously and said, "Could you please give us a jump start? The battery seems to be dead."
"Sure," he answered. "I guess so." It's really only a few minutes out of my day, Bob told himself. No big deal. "Let me just get my jumper cables out of the trunk," he said.
A few minutes later, though, it was clear that the situation was going to require more than a simple jump start. "Well," Bob told the woman, "looks like you're going to need a new battery. This one seems to be shot."
The woman's face fell. "Oh," she said softly. "I'm up here from California with my two girls and I don't know what we'll do. I don't know anyone here, and I just don't have the money for a battery. Well, thank you for trying."
Bob stood there in the glare of the station's fluorescent lights, and although what happened next took only a moment, it seemed much longer to him. This isn't just an annoyance, he told himself; this is an opportunity. An opportunity to really PRACTICE what I've been focusing on — a chance to put my faith in abundance into some real action. A chance to do something for someone else that really matters. And a chance to see if I really do have faith in abundance after all.
But maybe it's some kind of scam and she's a con artist just trying to get money out of unsuspecting "good Samaritans" while they're in a holiday mood. Who knows?
Then his thoughts swung back the other way again: Well, it'll be around $100. That's a significant amount of money. It's not that I can't afford it, but it's not exactly like I have extra hundred dollar bills just lying around either, or no other obligations. It'll be a pinch, but ... should I just DO it? Can I? Giving big chunks of money to a total stranger in need — that's not me. At least not the OLD me. But ...
And then Bob heard the words coming out of his mouth: "Look, it's Christmas. Why don't I just buy you a new battery as a gift so we can get you and your girls back on the road?"
"Oh!" The woman's hand flew to her mouth as tears welled up. "Oh, I don't know. That's so kind of you, but it's so much to ask."
"You didn't ask," Bob said. "Let's just go inside and see what they've got." A little embarrassed, he looked down and absently toyed with the battery cables. Hmm, that's odd, he thought. I don't remember the cables being loose. But they were — loose enough that the clamps twisted around on the battery terminals.
"Thank you," the woman said softly. "But let's just try it one more time," she added, and climbed back into her car. Why not? Bob thought, and stepped back to give her the OK.
You've already guessed it by now, haven't you, Gentle Reader? She turned the key and her car started right up!
But that's not Bob's Holiday Miracle, although it probably seemed like one to the woman and her daughters. Bob's REAL Holiday Miracle happened the moment he let go of his old habitual (and usually unconscious) belief in scarcity and took action based on his new faith in abundance.
What Bob learned that cold, wet day — just two days ago — was simply that we ALWAYS have faith and that we always act in accordance with that faith. Faith isn't something we have to acquire. It's just that most of us, most of the time are putting every ounce of our faith into the idea of scarcity rather than abundance and into the belief that whatever can go wrong, will. We can then tend to demonstrate and focus our thought and emotions on THAT faith by uselessly worrying about, well, about virtually everything! (Can't we?)
As the 19th-century American writer and humorist Mark Twain so wonderfully put it, "I am a very old man and have suffered a great many misfortunes, most of which never happened."
The rest of Bob's Holiday Miracle was learning that simply being WILLING — willing to believe and willing to act — was the key (the key that actually started the car!).
You see, my friend, the old saying about giving gifts really is true: It's the THOUGHT that counts!

Live Like The Red Sox
My favorite team won The World Series in the same fashion they did three years ago. After losing the first three games, they had one more chance to keep their season alive in the playoffs. Most people had given up on them, fans included, even though they were in the exact same position the last time they were in the playoffs. I didn't give up because I knew if they could do it before they could do it again. And they went on to win the next seven games to take The World Series. It was almost surreal yet expected at the same time. Though, that last game was a real nail biter as they won 4-3.
What does The Red Sox winning The World Series have to do with Acquiring Abundance? They have a winning attitude that got them where they are. If we could just do the same with all our goals, who knows what we might accomplish. It's so easy to give up when the odds are against you. Take my online store for example. I've yet to make a sale--except to myself because I love my stuff--but I'm not giving up. Though it is tempting at times since I don't have anything to show for all the work I've put into my cards and designs, but I do feel that it's worth my time because I enjoy it. And I believe sending gratitude cards will help get positive energy moving in the right direction for me and anyone else who tries it. It is hard sometimes, but I keep thinking about The Red Sox, my hometown heroes. They don't care what others think of them. They only go out and do their best. I remember Manny Ramirez saying in an interview during the playoffs that if they didn't win, it was no big deal. People ripped him apart over that, but I do think it's the right attitude. If you think that your whole life is ruined because you fail at something, then you're just going to cave and not keep trying. Believe me, I've been there many times. If I can just relax and go with the flow while doing the best I can, I'll be okay. Most likely, better than okay.
We all have the power to be like The Red Sox. When things look bad, don't give up, yet don't think that you're a total failure if you lose a few along the way. Manny and the boys from Boston have so much fun doing what they love so they see great results. I want to live like The Red Sox.
Til next time, be prepared for the best.

I remember Manny Ramirez saying in an interview during the playoffs that if they didn't win, it was no big deal. People ripped him apart over that, but I do think it's the right attitude. If you think that your whole life is ruined because you fail at something, then you're just going to cave and not keep trying. Believe me, I've been there many times. If I can just relax and go with the flow while doing the best I can, I'll be okay. Most likely, better than okay.
We all have the power to be like The Red Sox. When things look bad, don't give up, yet don't think that you're a total failure if you lose a few along the way. Manny and the boys from Boston have so much fun doing what they love so they see great results. I want to live like The Red Sox.
Til next time, be prepared for the best.

Angels of Abundance
Here is an interesting story from beliefnet.com about abundance that I really enjoyed reading and I hope you do too.
When our mortal eyes close on this world for the last time, our angels open our spiritual eyes and escort us personally before the face of God.

Open For Business!
Sorry, it's been so long since my last post. I've been busy setting up my http://cafepress.com/karmicbulldog store. It's open for business, but I still have a few items I'm planning to add later, so do visit again soon. Things are going really well. It's almost eerie sometimes. I've been writing things down things I want every day, and for the past few days I've written that I want my husband to get some competent help at work because he's been short staffed and stressed out. Well, today they hired someone my husband knows is competent because he used to work there and is returning. And, I've written that I want him to get a better job with higher pay, more time off, a lot more vacation and full family health benefits. Tomorrow he has an interview for just such a job. I'll let you know how that turns out.
Meanwhile, as you can see when you visit my store, the pictures came out great! I absolutely adore the bulldog with flowers picture that I'm using as my logo. I love it so much that I added it to a lot of my merchandise. Including my gratitude cards. I'm planning on sending them to my own family, friends and acquaintances to attract even more abundance into my life. So far, it's working. Who doesn't love getting an unexpected card? Give it a try and see if at the very least it makes someones day. It couldn't hurt to give and get some good karma.
Till next time, be prepared for the best!
