Spoon Bending: The Power of Intention

A concrete demonstration of the power of intention to create changes!

If you can use your intention to bend a spoon, you can certainly use it to heal yourself.

Dance Dance Revolution update

Okay just in case it is at all unclear...I LOVE this game!

I didn't get nearly as much cleaning/organizing of my house done today, as intended, because each time I thought I'd just play with it for a few minutes....I couldn't stop. Hahahaha!

I am now consistently obtaining a "C" grade on "beginner" level. It's the first time I've felt thrilled to get a C on anything! :-) I have now one time even gotten a "B"!

I can only imagine the workout I'll get when I get past beginner level. As it is I can feel my calf muscles getting tired and heart rate is definitely up there after playing it for a bit.

Now if they can make a video game that will help me get my house cleaned, I am all set!

Finally! Totally fun, completely addictive exercise!

I have always looked for exercise that I would enjoy so much I'd want to do more and more of it.
I have finally found it!

This has been around for a while apparently but I'd never encountered it until recently:

Dance Dance Revolution (DDR)!

I got it as an Xbox game (move over kids - my turn to use the Xbox!) and bought the dance/controller pad to use with it.

You dance along with the game, and have to step on the buttons at exactly the right time, and compete against yourself as well as the game, dancing along to different songs.

There are slow songs, fast songs, and everything in between, and many different modes to play.

If you are struggling with wanting to exercise but have never been able to commit to it, I definitely recommend this. My kids and I also have fun, taking turns. :-)

They make versions for Xbox, Playstation, PC's and even televisions though the reviews I saw for some of the TV-based applications commented that the graphics were pretty poor.

I got my software at www.Amazon.ca, and the game pads were a great pice on Ebay.

Excellent Investment Book!

I know that many of you are interested in attracting financial abundance.

Once you have attracted abundance (and you can start with as little as $1,000), you will want to know how to grow it, so that it multiplies rapidly.

My husband Kevin and I recently purchased Phil Town's book "Rule #1: The Simple Strategy For Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!"

It was actually an easy read, even for people (like me!) who are not very experienced with investing, and who have attention spans that are slightly lacking at times when it comes to investment planning.

What Phil teaches is how to invest with a high rate of return, and minimal risk.

It's relatively easy to learn (I had a bit of a learning curve in figuring out how to use the free Yahoo and MSN finance sites), and it can take 4-8 hours to fully research a company and be sure it's the right one for you to invest in, that it fits with the Rule #1 criteria.

However, once you have a few companies picked out that you are interested in, you simply watch for the price to be right (Phil teaches you how to figure out the value of the stock and then you wait for it to be priced at 50% or less of its value) and for all of the signs he tells you to watch for, to know that the time to buy is right.

Once you have purchased the stocks, you check online once a day to see how it is doing, and to watch for signs to sell.

Sometimes you may move in and out of the market quickly, according to fluctuations, but in doing so you make money and minimize your risk.

In following this plan, my husband and I, as brand new investors, made $2,000 in 2 weeks! The signs were then to sell the stock and we are now watching for a good opportunity to get back in again, either with that company or one of the other ones we are watching.

It sure beats the lousy (or highly variable) returns we'd been getting on our mutual funds!

Phil's book is available on Amazon, at Chapters, or on his website at www.ruleoneinvestor.com There are also free tools on his website that you can use in helping you to determine which companies are best to invest in.

Hilton Falls

I went for a wonderful hike yesterday at Hilton Falls in Milton, ON.

Maggie was remarkably well behaved and, although she has at times been aggressive with other dogs, yesterday she saw at least 30-40 dogs and did not make a move even once to bark at them, even when one was barking at her. Thank you dog whisperer Cesar Millan! http://dogpsychologycenter.com/

The falls are really beautiful as you can see
