When I got this newest LOA book (newest in my collection, at least), I started very quickly with looking at how I could use my daily affirmations more effectively.  One of the ideas I hit on was to make my own mind movies - just as Natalie did in her book.  Problem was, I didn’t actually have any software for doing that.

So, I went online and found ( Read more... )

Not quite a week ago I got an email offering me a chance to take a “30 second quiz” to learn what my biggest success blocker was.  Since I have all sorts of time available to kill, I took the quiz just to see what they said.

When I got the results, I wasn’t particularly impressed.  It looked (to me) like something that could have been written for 20 ( Read more... )

During this last week of 2016, many people's thoughts are turning towards the annual "New Year Resolution" ritual.  Millions will make anywhere from a few to dozens of decisions about how to change their lives for the better - and if history is any indication, 98% of all resolutions will be in the waste bin before the new POTUS is sworn in.

When I was growing up as a child in a small Kansas town where EVERYONE was a member of one or the other of two churches, one thing I heard people say from time to time was, “This is my cross to bear” - by which I understood them to be saying that some burden was theirs to deal with.  Nobody could help, and the problem might never go away.  Much ( Read more... )

I normally don't post twice in one day anymore, but I just had to say this.

That "karma check" just keeps growing, and growing.  Remember that copy of "meditations" by Marcus Aurelius that I was expecting?

Well, for whatever reason (probably because the site's name is PaperbackSwap) I was expecting a paperback or softbound copy.  What I got was a ( Read more... )

Wow, I'm really not sure what to make of this.  I'll try to take it with a smile, but it is what it is, I guess.

What happened was, I found a book that not only professed to teach the original philosophy of the Essenes that Jesus taught his followers, but it included the diet they followed and a suggested "transition diet" that would help you to ( Read more... )

Wow, I'm really in shock & awe right now.  It's hard to believe so much is happening, and it's so good, all together.

First was that we were able to get the computer restored to full operations for just over $100 - that was wonderful.

Next came that I was invited to apply for a job that belongs to a new company, but that I've done before with the old ( Read more... )

Ok, so after my wife went to sleep tonight, having already completed reading the introduction and set ups of chapter one, I dove into the first exercise in "Steering by Starlight" by Martha Beck.

It's already starting to have an effect that I can feel, and part of the exercise I'm supposed to do in a public place twice, once tomorrow and once again ( Read more... )
