Welcome to the Grand Opening of my new journal. Here's a little reading material for those who haven't made it to my Friends list, yet. Most of my life is happening offline nowadays and was previously recorded over at 43 Things, but </a></b></a>habibekindheart (caution:  mature content) made creating an account on LJ appealing enough to register with yet another weblog (Open ID is still in the works everywhere else I frequent:  Blogger, DreamHost, etc.) -- Not soon enough for me, so here I am, and liking what I see so far!

PS: Here's what one person has to say about
what Bob is going to talk about:

This chapter on the Law of Thinking [one of the
11 forgotten laws] has put one of my past
experiences with the Law of Attraction in a new
light.

[Because of this] I manifested the car of my
dreams. All because I took the time to get alone
and do some serious thinking [the Law of
Thinking] about what I truly wanted.

- Steve Bell



Thanks to agilediary.wordpress.com for the suggestion to embed the WiZiQ sessions into my LJ blog post ~ Cheers!

Last New Year's Eve, we held a fantastic cyber-party on the original Secret forum. Since the discussion thread is no longer available for viewing on the old PI site, I thought it would nice to follow-up here and see how everyone who attended the big 2008 bash is progressing toward their goals. My JOYFUL SECRET COME TRUE is posted on my blog -- it's been ONE AMAZING YEAR and You're Cordially Invited to MASTER MIND IN 2009: 12 Secret Steps to Manifesting Our Dreams!!

Where: The Secret Forum
@PowerfulIntentions

Given by: SGR Virtual University

RSVP to: The Universe!

Arrive as who you will be 5 years from now. Dress in your virtual best. Speak only in the present tense the entire evening, as if it were already 2013, all your goals have been achieved, and all your dreams have already come true.

Your arrival will be archived for future viewing, so make a grand entrance complete with splashy graphics and props to show everyone what you have achieved in the years between, such as best-selling books you've written, magazine covers you've been on, awards you've won, and photographs or virtual scrapbooks of your achievements. Throughout the evening, you will have the opportunity to applaud others in their achievements and to receive congratulations.

What is time? The shadow on the dial, the striking of the clock, the running of the sand, day and night, summer and winter, months, years, centuries-these are but arbitrary and outward signs, the measure of Time, not Time itself. Time is the Life of the soul. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A Note from the Universe sm... One of your greatest challenges is realizing that the hurdles of Time and Space, are simply reflections of imagined hurdles.

See no problems.


Special Thanks to Jack Canfield for the inspiration to throw a "Five-Year Party" and permission to use this slightly-modified invitation from his excellent book, The Success Principles.

Aloha, Aikane ~

To ALL Friends of the CO-OP and Inspirational Motivators Everywhere:

Aloha Everyone! Thanksgiving Day's CO-OP Launch was a tremendous experience, once we got past a few minor technical glitches ~ certainly, the fruition of a longtime dream and only the beginning of great things to come! My daughter, Fawn (founder of the Work With Me group here at iLiF) co-hosted our special session, now archived on WiZiQ.com, and I am so grateful for her amazing assistance and attention to visitors as we navigated our way through the program.

Our friend, Peter Love (professional singer/entertainer and 811rv advocate) was the special guest for this long-awaited event, along with good pals Matt Hern (Purple Thistle Centre,) Brenda MacIntyre, Shivella Rogers, Larry Hochman and Dr. Doug Graham of FoodnSport.com on the big blue ball, thanks to the wonder of video clips! You can view the featured vids in the Purple Thistle Potluck Theatre playlist on our YouTube Channel: http://youtube.com/thesecretcoop

The following morning, it came to me in a flash -- Health & Fitness "Hot Spots" on YouTube! We've been discussing this concept for a while now on the "Work With Me" and "Naturally F1T Family" groups as a complement to the CO-OP. Thinking about Shivella juggling oranges in her back yard grove here on the Nature Coast, and elaborating on the desire to become the host of a children's program in her fun demo vid, it became clear that we are on to something huge :D The recent YouTube LIVE event really impressed me with the magnitude and possibilities of utilizing this service to the max!

Peter promotes children's causes through his music and the Save Our Children Foundation, and I can't help but think how awesome it would be to tap into his talents and that of folks like El-bo of GiveItToMeRaw, Dr. D and his niece, Liati Mayk, not to mention Amy Duncan and others (whose songs are all featured on the iLearn in Freedom and UNCommon Sense Networks,) to collaborate on a hit theme song for the show.

Also showcased in our session was another juggling friend o' mine: longtime educator, counselor and friend of the CO-OP, Larry Hochman of NoMoreHoldingBack.com. He and his wife, Diane, have been a wonderful source of encouragement and inspiration to me since we were all drawn to the Powerful Intentions community a couple of years ago.

Shivella has her degree in Mass Communication, and is an experienced athlete and event organizer with her partner, Chris Moling of DRCSports.com. She's also worked with developmentally-challenged youth & adults at the Key Training Center for many years. Robby Barbaro, co-founder of the Back Yard Fruit Pickers along with Taylor Snipes, has interned with Doug at his annual events, including Health & Fitness Week in Washington State, and is currently studying at UF with plans to enter the health & fitness arena following graduation.

That, combined with Dr. D and Prof. Rozi Graham's know-how in sports nutrition and the field of family fitness, plus the youth service project Robby and Taylor plan to offer through the BYFP program (see "Urban Fruit Gleaners" in the WWM group) are a recipe for success, IMHO :D Looking forward to hearing your thoughts while the energy's high and the good vibes are flowing!! :D

Hope everyone had a Thanksgiving Day to remember ~ wherever you may be!
Dream Big, Penne & the CanDo! Crew :o)

DEBUTING IN DECEMBER!

Here's a copy of our public service announcement/flyer for 
today's CO-OP introductory meeting, along with a letter to 
Robby Barbaro and BYFP co-founder, Taylor Snipes. 
H&F/Naturally F1T Family "Hot Spots" are also on the 
agenda!

Hi Robby! I didn't make it to the King's Bay race, after 
all, but check out what we've been working on for Back Yard 
Fruit Pickers! My son and I were jammin' on our guitars the 
other day, and the thought struck me that Back Yard Fruit 
Pickers could be the name of a rockin' group LOL Too funny, 
especially since Dr. D is an avid musician himself. 
Wouldn't a little music make the pickin' time even more 
pleasant? :D You and Taylor wouldn't happen to be 
musically-inclined, too, eh? That would make it just 
perfect!

Attaching an announcement we put out to the media and local 
co-op, homeschooling, etc., groups last week. Didn't 
get confirmation on our meeting place until this past 
Thursday (my message apparently got erased on the answering 
machine,) so that's why it's focused around our "Messies 
Anonymous" group. We're holding it at the YANA Clubhouse, 
which is an acronym for "You Are Never Alone," a favorite 
AA mantra, if you're not familiar with it. I thought it was 
apropos for us raw vegans, who can use all the 
support we can get when we get brave enough to come out of 
the closet! ;-) All of the groups which meet at the Club 
are self-help, so we're going with the flow! :D Let 
me know what you think.

Sending rays of warmth & sunshine your way ~
('cause I figure this cold snap hit you harder up "north!")

Hangin' out here in central Florida,
Where the Mouse & the manatees play... all day!

featuring Albert's Organics, as well as the new Back Yard 
Fruit Pickers program with a little jam session on the 
side. Bring ‘em if you play ‘em! After the meeting, 
we'll head across the street to the Creative Community 
Playground to “monkey” around with the younger set. 
Introduce yourself if you swing by – I’ll be the one in the

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

CanDo! CO-OP presents:

Sing for Your Supper
Purple Thistle Potluck Theatre
And Bring Your Talent to the Table!

What's it all about? A working "coffeehouse" co-op, creative arts, health&fitness hot spot, and show venue, or as the Mighty Matt Hern (author, Everywhere All the Time: A New Deschooling Reader) calls it, a "common place" for youth, families, and thinkers of all ages. We envision this as a community gathering spot with local flavor, and invite all free thinkers to add their talent to the mix! More information on the project can be found in the Work With Me group on the iLearn in Freedom Network.

Our daughters, Fawn & Julie, are featured on the Main Page of iPeace as part of their contribution to the Google 10 to the 100th Project!! How 'bout that?! ;) I'm off to put our vid together!! Come join the movement and pass it on :D

  More wit and wisdom from the pen of our pal, Carol! ;-)
Do you need to completely change your diet to fully benefit from the New Earth Soul Food Ego-detox Diet? Get in quick. Currants sold out across the globe.

I found another thread on this subject entitled Applying the lessons to overeating in the ANE/Let's Talk About Chapter 6 forum at Oprah.com, but was unable to add my two cents to the exchange (hyperlinks for Reply and Add Discussion were missing for some reason...) I needed to get crackin' on my blog posts, anyway, so this provides some in-depth content. Funny, but as soon as I added this entry here, my access to the forum opened right up! Coincidence? I think not ;) Here's my post:

We were just having this conversation on Carol Om's latest tongue-in-cheek thread. This is what I wrote:

I've been using Natalia Rose's "Raw Food Detox Diet" on the New Energy Body plan for the past couple of months. Back to my Hawai'i figure from our trip to the Kona Marathon four years ago (three sizes down, two to go to feelin' perfectly fit and fabulous forever!) and gee, do I feel terrific already! ;-) I fell in love with living foods after going "cold turkey" into the movement about ten years ago, but ran into some challenges that hadn't been covered in the available books on the subject at that time. Natalia addresses those concerns (without an outright prohibition on any culinary delight, including cooked fare and rich dark chocolate for dessert!) in her works. Once again, I'm happily enjoying the freedom of being able to "take no thought" for what I eat, drink, or wear :D

Last year I also posted extensive notes in the "becoming my 100% perfect figure using my mind ONLY" thread" on The Secret forum at the original Powerful Intentions with notes from Wattles, Byrne and Mary Baker Eddy

LUCK = Living Under Correct Knowledge (James Ray)

P.S. Before I sign off (busy week!) here's something for those of us who are interested in Christian Science perspectives on "A New Earth" ~ HAND/pda
Is this book a reinterpretation of many of Mary Baker Eddy's discoveries?

My Secret pal, Carol Om, and I have been having a lively discussion on the subject of "ego" while participating in Oprah and Eckhart Tolle's class on "A New Earth" (see link in sig below,) and I wondered about Rhonda Byrnes' reference in a recent Secret forum post on using the will/willpower for arresting and correcting erroneous thoughts. I thought it might be helpful to make a distinction between mortal will, or blind ego, and the Divine Will, or Ego-God as it's termed in Christian Science, from which the Ego-man derives unlimited power.

From the GLOSSARY of Science and Health with Key to The Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy:

I, or EGO. Divine Principle; Spirit; Soul; incorporeal, unerring, immortal, and eternal Mind.

There is but one I, or Us, but one divine Principle, or Mind, governing all existence; man and woman unchanged forever in their individual characters, even as numbers which never blend with each other, though they are governed by one Principle. All the objects of God's creation reflect one Mind, and whatever reflects not this one Mind, is false and erroneous, even the belief that life, substance, and intelligence are both mental and material.

I AM. God; incorporeal and eternal Mind; divine Principle; the only Ego.

WILL. The motive-power of error; mortal belief; animal power. The might and wisdom of God.

"For this is the will of God." (I Thessalonians iv. 3.)

Will, as a quality of so-called mortal mind, is a wrong-doer; hence it should not be confounded with the term as applied to Mind or to one of God's qualities.

Oh, and one more thing I thought was interesting in Tolle's work with regard to Rhonda's message. In fact, my buddy, habibekindheart, and I were just chatting about this the other day.  In ANE, Eckhart describes "karma" in mental terms, which is something that might prove more acceptable to many Christians than the concept of physical reincarnation (which Rhonda alludes to in her post as a major do-over, e.g., "200 hundred lifetimes"):

"The voice in the head has a life of its own. Most people are at the mercy of that voice; they are possessed by thought, by the mind. And since the mind is conditioned by the past, you are then forced to reenact the past again and again. The Eastern term for this is karma. When you are identified with that voice, you don't know this, of course. If you knew it, you would no longer be possessed because you are only truly possessed when you mistake the possessing entity for who you are, that is to say, when you become it.", [Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth]

Learning all the time ~ I AM!
