I wanted to share this information with all of you because your health is important me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you read through this and check out the links. Become an informed consumer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Love &amp; Light.&lt;br /&gt;Jenn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Folks, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am here once again with lots of uplifting good news! Your diet coke is killing &lt;br /&gt;you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You heard that right. If you are drinking any kind of diet cola or drink, or &lt;br /&gt;consuming any sugar free gum, or any sugar substitute like Equal, Nutrasweet or &lt;br /&gt;Spoonful, I got news for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article can save you or your loved ones from serious illnesses like brain &lt;br /&gt;tumors, leukemia, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, epilepsy, birth &lt;br /&gt;defects, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's and many more! So I suggest you &lt;br /&gt;start paying attention and share it with as many people as you can. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, here is the background: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The substance that is used to sweeten your diet drink and sugar free foods &lt;br /&gt;(including Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Kool Aid, Listerine Strips, different sugar &lt;br /&gt;free gums etc) is called Aspartame. Aspartame is also the technical name for &lt;br /&gt;brand names like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful and other sugar alternatives. &lt;br /&gt;Aspartame was discovered by accident in 1965 by a chemist of G.D Searle Company. &lt;br /&gt;G.D Searle tried to get approval from the FDA in United States in 1974 but &lt;br /&gt;failed due to objections from a neuroscience researcher named Dr John Olney and &lt;br /&gt;a consumer attorney named James Turner. For the time being, the FDA put the &lt;br /&gt;approval on hold to carry out further investigation. However, aspartame was &lt;br /&gt;allowed on 1981 for dry goods and 1983 for carbonated beverages. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added &lt;br /&gt;to foods. It is responsible for headaches/migraines, heart palpitations, &lt;br /&gt;fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, breathing &lt;br /&gt;difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, seizures, nausea, numbness, &lt;br /&gt;muscle spasms, weight gain, depression, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to recent studies it is also responsible for triggering or worsening &lt;br /&gt;brain tumors, multiple sclerosis,  birth defects, epilepsy, chronic fatigue &lt;br /&gt;syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, mental retardation, and diabetes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why was aspartame approved by the FDA? Well, for many years FDA not only &lt;br /&gt;refused to approve it, but took G. D. Searle to court indicting them under Title &lt;br /&gt;18, Section 1001 for "their willful and knowing failure to make reports to the &lt;br /&gt;FDA required... and for concealing material facts and making false statements in &lt;br /&gt;reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of aspartame." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know why? Because in 1969, Searle conducted a study with Dr Harry Waisman on &lt;br /&gt;the effects of aspartame on primates. Seven baby monkeys were given Aspartame in &lt;br /&gt;milk. One died after 300 days; five others had grand mal seizures. Searle &lt;br /&gt;eliminated these findings when they submitted this study to the FDA! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's pretty huge right? And Searle should have been stopped from producing &lt;br /&gt;this dangerous chemical forever right? Unfortunately there was a famous man in &lt;br /&gt;this story who had very high stakes in Aspartame. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CEO of G D Searle at the time was Donald Rumsfeld (retired defense secretary &lt;br /&gt;for the Bush administration who de facto led the Iraq war)! Mr Rumsfeld said he &lt;br /&gt;would ensure that aspartame gets approved even though the FDA said no. He was &lt;br /&gt;also on President Reagan's transition team at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of how Rumsfeld accomplished this was told by the attorney James &lt;br /&gt;Turner in a documentary on aspartame called "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World" you &lt;br /&gt;can visit the site here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/sweet%20misery.html"&gt;www.soundandfury.tv/pages/sweet%20misery.html&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here are some videos where you can see Mr Turner narrate the story of how &lt;br /&gt;greed kills millions of people for years to come!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http:&lt;a href="http:////www.redefineyourreality.com/aspartame-poisoning.htm"&gt;//www.redefineyourreality.com/aspartame-poisoning.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1985, the G.D Searle Company was bought over by Monsanto. The first thing &lt;br /&gt;Monsanto did was make the Searle Pharmaceuticals and NutraSweet Company separate &lt;br /&gt;subsidiaries. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Monsanto is also one of the world's biggest companies that produce &lt;br /&gt;genetically modified foods and other chemicals that go into foods and food &lt;br /&gt;production. Monsanto is also known for producing pesticides.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we are talking about a multi billion dollar industry called the diet drink &lt;br /&gt;industry. Just like CFC (which almost destroyed the earths climate because of &lt;br /&gt;its long term destructive properties yet was popularized for more than 40 years &lt;br /&gt;as the magic chemical that makes money yet is environment friendly, until we had &lt;br /&gt;the Ozone Hole) and Trans-fats (that clog your arteries and makes you obese and &lt;br /&gt;responsible for numerous other diseases yet millions of people around the world &lt;br /&gt;are eating KFC), Aspartame also is very preciously protected because its HIGHLY &lt;br /&gt;PROFITABLE!   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1992 the Flying Safety Magazine published articles about the dangers of &lt;br /&gt;Aspartame and mentioned that some people could be immediately affected by &lt;br /&gt;Aspartame with as small doses as a chewing gum. And here is the most interesting &lt;br /&gt;piece of information: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major airline pilots are not allowed drink or consume Aspartame containing &lt;br /&gt;goods! You know why? Because it increases the risk of headaches, seizures, heart &lt;br /&gt;palpitations, depression, slurred speech, loss of memory, loss of sensation in &lt;br /&gt;lower legs, loss of equilibrium, vertigo, anxiety attacks, chronic fatigue, &lt;br /&gt;vision loss, etc. How nice is that? Now you can stop worrying because even if &lt;br /&gt;you might be killing yourself with Aspartame poisoning, you should be happy &lt;br /&gt;knowing that at least you are going to reach your destination in one piece. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I know, in your mind you might be thinking well, diet drinks at least keep &lt;br /&gt;your weight in check! Right? Well, does it really? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aspartame has actually been known to contribute to weight problem and obesity &lt;br /&gt;even though it is used in diet drinks. Of course it doesn't cause over weight &lt;br /&gt;issues the same way that sugar does, but it causes obesity by creating some very &lt;br /&gt;harmful toxic materials in the body. It also makes you crave carbohydrates which &lt;br /&gt;makes you gain weight. These toxins are often stored by the body in fat &lt;br /&gt;particularly on the hips and thighs. Not surprising that millions of overweight &lt;br /&gt;people around the world are drinking diet Coke, Pepsi and other drinks for years &lt;br /&gt;and still not loosing any weight! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the famous book Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, Russell Blaylock, a &lt;br /&gt;neurosurgeon, says aspartame may trigger clinical diabetes! He says that &lt;br /&gt;excitotoxins such as NutraSweet literally stimulate neurons to death, causing &lt;br /&gt;brain damage of varying degrees. "What really concerns me about aspartame," he &lt;br /&gt;says, "is its association with brain tumors as well as pancreatic, uterine and &lt;br /&gt;ovarian tumors. ... and that so many develop an Alzheimers-like syndrome with &lt;br /&gt;prolonged exposure."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Blaylock also commented: "The new study released in the European Journal of &lt;br /&gt;oncology by Morando Soffritti and co-workers should terrify mothers and all &lt;br /&gt;those consuming aspartame sweetened products..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This study confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers, which &lt;br /&gt;also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to &lt;br /&gt;cellular DNA and that this damage was accumulative. The type of damage was a &lt;br /&gt;duplicate of that associated with cancers. Along with this most recent study, &lt;br /&gt;this means that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame every day &lt;br /&gt;could increase one's risk of developing a lymphoma or leukemia." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, even as I write this today, millions of people around the world &lt;br /&gt;are sipping on their "sugar free" and "zero calorie" poison. Every year millions &lt;br /&gt;of dollars are spent on marketing and advertising diet drinks with slim and &lt;br /&gt;petite women in on the billboards and TV. Little do the ignorant consumers &lt;br /&gt;realize that they are paying with their health, their children's health, and &lt;br /&gt;their grandchildren's health everyday to make people like Rumsfeld and companies &lt;br /&gt;like Searle and NutraSweet richer and richer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand people like me, Dr Betty Martini (who is the world leader in &lt;br /&gt;exposing the ill effects of chemical sweeteners) and hundreds of others are &lt;br /&gt;trying their best to reach as many people as possible around the world. But we &lt;br /&gt;are up against billions of dollars worth combined advertising and marketing &lt;br /&gt;budget of the diet drink companies, processed food companies etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much chance do we have to break through the noise of these mega budget &lt;br /&gt;campaigns? I don't know. But I would like to believe that we are making a &lt;br /&gt;difference... That you would read this letter today and never touch any &lt;br /&gt;aspartame related product ever again. That you would take the initiative to tell &lt;br /&gt;as many people as you can in person, on the phone, via email, in the next office &lt;br /&gt;meeting or whatever else you can think of. If you do that, we take a step &lt;br /&gt;forward and we shall win. If you don't, then all of this effort is worthless. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to help the movement and help thousands, if not millions of &lt;br /&gt;people around the planet, Forward this email to at least 5 of your friends, family or loved ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, here is one book about natural protection and cure from cancer that I &lt;br /&gt;highly recommend you look at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Natural Cancer Treatments" is the most comprehensive book of its kind you will &lt;br /&gt;find anywhere in the world. Over 350 treatments and 400 pages fully-indexed with &lt;br /&gt;a comprehensive table of contents to quickly locate information that is relevant &lt;br /&gt;to you, your friend, or a loved one.

I do hope you say YES!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now.. Why are you happy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you going to tell me ... because I have this special person in my life? because I have a good job? because I have... (fill in the blank)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the past few weeks, I have had conversations with people in which their happiness is based on having. This got me to thinking, "so if you lose this thing~whatever that thing may be~, you will be unhappy".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you continue to base your happiness on "because I have", it may not last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We, as humans, tend to base our happiness on what can be acquired. I will be happy when I have the perfect job, when I find the perfect love, when I can buy this car, when I have this house... when, when, when. Yet, when we do acquire those certain things, we replace that with another. Yes, we may be happy for a while once we get that new car or house or relationship, but we often find something else that will make us happier. LOL! Vicious circle, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happiness must come from the inside. Take responsibility for your own happiness, don't give it away to someONE or someTHING. Practice gratitude for everything in your life now - yes... even the trials and tribulations because you are learning something from them that will bring change. Love yourself enough to know that you are a unique being with your very own special talents and gifts to share with this world. Love yourself enough to take care of your health, to nurture your spirituality, to remember who you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are Magnificent! You are Love! You are a physical manifestation of Universe!&lt;br /&gt;Feel it, Embrace it, Live it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always In Love &amp; Light,&lt;br /&gt;Jenn&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9052400971865715557-412293723715891711?l=livingalternatively.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/feeds/412293723715891711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9052400971865715557&amp;postID=412293723715891711&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/412293723715891711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/412293723715891711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy.html' title='Happy?'/><author><name>Jenn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07473375047375186153</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/SXcYyQAcfTI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OdAqKB1hBkY/S220/Me+and+Sean.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/SmXYIOAPRlI/AAAAAAAAABk/vkVkIxnJQZQ/s72-c/Rain+%26+Waterfall.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052400971865715557.post-6095933558240223438</id><published>2009-07-15T09:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T09:56:40.799-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='opinions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self-love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self-confidence'/><title type='text'>Other People's Opinions</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Other People's Opinions of Me are None of My Business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seem to be repeating this phrase to a few of my friends lately... This statement played an important role in my own personal development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about that statement. Reflect what it means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was, at first, confused by this. What do you mean other peoples' opinions are none of my business? Seriously, why wouldn't it be my business. It &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; an opinion of me after all....And then it dawned on me. The only opinion that truly matters is the opinion you have of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are either going to like you for who you are.. or they are not. We cannot please everyone in life, so we need to make sure that we please ourselves. Do you like yourself? Do you love yourself? Are you living your dreams? If not, then you are not truly happy. It is when we are filled with self-doubt and the "lack" mentality that we look outside ourselves for the opinions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not saying that it doesn't feel good to hear someone share their positive opinions.. it does! Let it be a reminder of how wonderful you are! But it also feels bad to hear when someone doesn't like you... are you going to let that bring you down? Kill your self-confidence? I'm sure not! I'm going to fall back on my own opinion of myself and remember that I love me and that is all that really matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don't forget that this also works in reverse... be careful of how you judge others and what opinions you're sharing. You do not know the ultimate purpose the Universe has for the person you are judging. Now, we are human and most likely not going to be perfect at this, but keep it forward in your mind that you do not wish to be judged. Let's share love and understanding first!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namaste!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jenn&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9052400971865715557-6095933558240223438?l=livingalternatively.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/feeds/6095933558240223438/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9052400971865715557&amp;postID=6095933558240223438&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/6095933558240223438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/6095933558240223438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/2009/07/other-peoples-opinions.html' title='Other People&apos;s Opinions'/><author><name>Jenn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07473375047375186153</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/SXcYyQAcfTI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OdAqKB1hBkY/S220/Me+and+Sean.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052400971865715557.post-5662291154334150193</id><published>2009-03-18T09:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-18T09:42:09.155-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self-improvement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='happiness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self-love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive attitude'/><title type='text'>Ways to a More Positive Attitude #3</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/ScEdkQtXuxI/AAAAAAAAABc/CbHmjlN48X0/s1600-h/universal+love+-+inspire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px; height: 120px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/ScEdkQtXuxI/AAAAAAAAABc/CbHmjlN48X0/s320/universal+love+-+inspire.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314561544071658258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know that Love is important in our lives and the energy of the world. But are you loving yourself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm talking about the unconditional kind of love for self, the same love you receive from Source. Or do you look in the mirror and see all things you need to "fix" in order to be happy? or feel beautiful?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to let go of Society's belief of what makes someone beautiful. Beauty is not all about how we look on the outside. It is all about Who we are... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are spirit living in human form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not saying that I am perfect at this... not by any means...yet. :) But I do work on this every day. I am grateful for my body...  otherwise I would not be here! This body helps me to experience this world. And sure, there are things about myself which I would like to improve... like the extra area of the belly...but I am learning not to focus on those things. Remember that what your attention on is what you will continue to attract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, look in that mirror, hug yourself, and tell yourself "I Love You". Let that love light shine through you, radiating out to the world. I suggest doing this everyday! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You deserve it! &lt;br /&gt;You are worth it! &lt;br /&gt;You are Love!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever you start slipping into putting yourself down, take some deep breaths and reset your focus to loving yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would love to hear from any of you who try this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Love You!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always in love &amp; light,&lt;br /&gt;Jenn&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9052400971865715557-5662291154334150193?l=livingalternatively.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/feeds/5662291154334150193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9052400971865715557&amp;postID=5662291154334150193&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/5662291154334150193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/5662291154334150193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/2009/03/ways-to-more-positive-attitude-3.html' title='Ways to a More Positive Attitude #3'/><author><name>Jenn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07473375047375186153</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/SXcYyQAcfTI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OdAqKB1hBkY/S220/Me+and+Sean.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/ScEdkQtXuxI/AAAAAAAAABc/CbHmjlN48X0/s72-c/universal+love+-+inspire.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052400971865715557.post-7200747214989225203</id><published>2009-02-14T08:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-14T08:35:44.181-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace movement'/><title type='text'>Peace in 5 Years</title><content type='html'>What a fantastic site!

We have been brought up to believe in the lack mentality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it for a moment... All those "old sayings" which we heard time and again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life isn't easy or fair.&lt;br /&gt;The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.&lt;br /&gt;You have to work hard to get anything or go anywhere in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on and on... but I'm not going to! You know what I'm talking about. Sit down for a few moments and write them out. Get those beliefs down on paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now... go back and look at them. How do you feel when you read these statements, these beliefs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens when you change them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example: The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.&lt;br /&gt;Change to: Money flows easily and abundantly into my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, how do you feel?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it isn't your "truth" right now, but when you focus on what you really want - money to flow easily &amp; abundantly - then you're NOT focusing on what you don't want - I am poor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that old saying: "Whatever you give out, comes back to you". Well if you are giving out the thought and belief that you are poor, what do you think you are going to get in return?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apply this to all aspects of your life. Relationships, work, money, happiness......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your thoughts become things.... choose the good ones!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consciously or not, you have created your own world, your own reality. Your thoughts and beliefs have manifested into what is your life today.  BUT, Today is a brand new day. Take charge of your life. Take responsibility for your life and what you have created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God, The Universe, The Origin... Whatever you want to call that source, that energy, wants you to live in abundance. Wants you to live your dream life. So Dream It! Imagine your life the way you want it. I'm not saying it will happen overnight, but it will happen. Do be specific, take some time each day to imagine your dream life... let it make you smile, feel how good that will be. Hold on to Those feelings. Know and trust that your dreams will come true and be grateful for it today. You will be guided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Love &amp; Light,&lt;br /&gt;Jenn&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9052400971865715557-8129643868647399929?l=livingalternatively.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/feeds/8129643868647399929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9052400971865715557&amp;postID=8129643868647399929&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/8129643868647399929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/8129643868647399929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/2009/02/ways-to-more-positive-attitude.html' title='Ways to a more positive attitude'/><author><name>Jenn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07473375047375186153</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/SXcYyQAcfTI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OdAqKB1hBkY/S220/Me+and+Sean.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052400971865715557.post-2017928108586917973</id><published>2009-01-22T03:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-22T03:20:30.990-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humankind'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='click for peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace'/><title type='text'>One Small Click for You.

It is my hope that when you are through reading this email, you will feel as empowered as I do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received an email the other day from a friend of mine and it told the story of how a man woke up one morning concerned about two dear friends who were under bombardment - one in Lebanon, the other in Israel. Then came the nagging question, "What can I do to help?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately, came his inspired answer…&lt;br /&gt;"10 Million Clicks for Peace."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then emailed 3 of his friends with his idea. Within the day a core team of like-minded people was assembled, and with it, the opportunity to really do something to create peace in the world. Everyone with an Internet connection could help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "10 Million Clicks for Peace" project is endorsed and supported by best-selling authors and top self-development experts, sports and Hollywood celebrities, leaders in the business field as well as peace organizations and leaders in the peace movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I too endorse and support this project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To fully understand why I used "One Small Click for You. One GIANT Click for Humankind" as the Subject for this email, click this link.

Massage has become a wonderful tool to health and happiness. Think about it.... Giving yourself the gift of an hour of relaxation. All you have to do is lay there and enjoy yourself. Fall asleep if you want... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are more relaxed, your body feels good; your mind calms and you can think; your emotions are more calm, and you're able to listen to your spirit, your inner-guidance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very grateful for the opportunity to share this gift with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Til next time!&lt;br /&gt;In Love &amp; Light,&lt;br /&gt;Jenn&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9052400971865715557-6965904792756942179?l=livingalternatively.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/feeds/6965904792756942179/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9052400971865715557&amp;postID=6965904792756942179&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/6965904792756942179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/6965904792756942179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/2009/01/okay-i-know.html' title='Okay...

The question has always been: could such a harmonizing principle actually exist?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or are skeptics right in regarding this as a product of wishful thinking, a consoling myth spawned by the intellectual discomfort and capriciousness of chance? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mathematician Warren Weaver, in his book, Lady Luck: The Theory of Probability, recounts a fascinating tale of coincidence that stretches our traditional notions of chance to their breaking point. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story originally appeared in Life magazine. Weaver writes: &lt;br /&gt;All fifteen members of a church choir in Beatrice, Nebraska, due at practice at 7:20, were late on the evening of March 1, 1950.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minister and his wife and daughter had one reason (his wife delayed to iron the daughter’s dress) one girl waited to finish a geometry problem; one couldn’t start her car; two lingered to hear the end of an especially exciting radio program; one mother and daughter were late because the mother had to call the daughter twice to wake her from a nap; and so on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reasons seemed rather ordinary. But there were ten separate and quite unconnected reasons for the lateness of the fifteen persons. It was rather fortunate that none of the fifteen arrived on time at 7:20, for at 7:25 the church building was destroyed in an explosion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The members of the choir, Life reported, wondered if their delay was “an act of God.” Weaver calculates the staggering odds against chance for this uncanny event as about one chance in a million. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coincidences such as these, some say, are almost too purposeful, too orderly, to be a product of random chance, which strains somewhat to accommodate them. But then how do we explain them? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another definition for SYNCHRONICITY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Synchronicity at this point can be defined as a series of seemingly unrelated events which are connected via a hidden agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recent publication of the SUPERSTRING theory indicates that there may well be ten dimensions in existence, not merely the four that ones senses are currently aware of. (Length, breadth, width, time)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is now considerable mathematical proof to indicate that ten dimensions exist.  And most quantum physicists have given serious consideration to this theory.  It would appear that the “hidden agenda” of synchronistic events may be transparent and obvious in one or more of these ten dimensions, but become opaque and difficult to fathom when viewed in our current restricted four dimensions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there is now at last a small amount of evidence to indicate that when an individuals subconscious mind-set is modified to encourage positive PK synchronistic events (luck) then synchronistic elements may be set into play which materialistic as PK Luck events in our “real time” dimension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And conversely when a person becomes aware of a series of synchronistic events they can use this special knowledge to trigger a burst of luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What has been definitely proven however is that the mind-set of an individual influences their interaction with the environment, to an extent which can leave a person “stunned” at the positive results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I have discovered over the past 4 years is that if I call up a dream program to “induce” synchronistic events in my waking life ….then instruct my mind to consciously recognize these events as a synchronistic train….I can usually recognize where they are leading to and be there at the right time and place to take advantage of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have personally had at least a dozen of these recognizable synchronicity trains in the past 3 years and each one has bought me sometimes quite incredible luck. So much so that friends here in Vanuatu keep telling me how lucky I am!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;This was taken from 'The Synchronicity Luck Program' - part of the fascinating free 7 part ecourse available at http://www.realmindpowersecrets.com/?vip=45325&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9052400971865715557-2531523699516850745?l=livingalternatively.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/feeds/2531523699516850745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9052400971865715557&amp;postID=2531523699516850745&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/2531523699516850745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9052400971865715557/posts/default/2531523699516850745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingalternatively.blogspot.com/2008/07/is-it-really-just-coincidence-jim.html' title='Is it Really Just Coincidence? - Jim Francis'/><author><name>Jenn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07473375047375186153</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g2ueB--HTY0/SXcYyQAcfTI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OdAqKB1hBkY/S220/Me+and+Sean.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052400971865715557.post-2219069782152089790</id><published>2008-06-14T07:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-14T07:53:42.358-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Want to Change Your Life?'/><title type='text'>Awesome Opportunity!</title><content type='html'>I have just found the most awesome opportunity!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard something the other day that made me feel better about the fact that I had not yet discovered financial freedom through a Home-Based Business.
