As a member of Jack Canfield's Train the Trainer 2012 class, I have just received a pre-public announcement that Jack Canfield will no longer be doing Breakthrough to Success, his life changing 7 day live event. His last event will be in August 2012.

If you've been reading my blog, you know that BTS marked a time for major transformation for me and my life literally has never been the same for the experience.

As a TTT 2012 member, I have been given a special discount code to pass on to my friends and colleague. Click on the banner below and use GRADFRIEND to save an amazing $1500 when you register today. If you are at all interested, act fast as I'm sure this will sell out quickly when Jack goes public with this announcement.

As a BTS graduate, I am sad about Jack's announcement to discontinue this amazing live experience. But as a TTT member, I am excited to see what's next for Jack and The Canfield Training Group!

Don't forget the code GRADFRIEND when you register!

I am sometimes overwhelmed with promotional emails marketing products and services that tell me I "must take action today"! I recently spent some time unsubscribing from a bunch of lists that I've accumulated over the last year or so.

However today I received one from Dr. Joe Vitale that caught my eye and prompted me to take immediate action. The email intrigued me ... 7 Steps to Get Clear on your way to attracting whatever you want ... I entered my email address, got another cup of coffee and settled in to his content.

You see, I have a dream. It is a big dream and it will be my legacy. My dream, at one time, felt completely out of reach. My dream is to have a respite center for teens that is based on the Success Principles outlined by Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. On the way to that dream, I plan to bring the success principles to teens and young adults across the country through school based and online programs.

In case you're not familiar with the Law of Attraction, let me take a minute and share how I got connected with it. Several years ago, I was at a friend's house. She asked me if I would watch a movied with her. We were just hanging out with no particular plan. I agreed. She got up and popped the DVD "The Secret" into her player. I became intrigued with the Law of Attraction and began to explore the concept. Reflecting back on my life, I could see where I had manifested some really cool things ...and some not so cool things. From that day on I chose to learn more about conscious, intentional manifesting using the Law of Attraction.

Over the past two years, with lots of practice and some great coaching from a manifesting master,  I've manifested some amazing things that are in line with my passion and purpose. Mostly in the form of opportunity and sponsorship, I manifested the finances to support me in participating in Jack's Breakthrough to Success event as well as working closely with Jack in his year long 2012 Train the Trainer mentoring program.

The results have been phenomenal and my dream is beginning to unfold in ways I never could have imagined! I've gotten so good at manifesting that I'm able to manifest almost instantly.

A couple of days ago, I literally manifested an illness with the thought that I was tired and desperately needed a break. Yesterday I literally manifested a free dinner when  in the momentI had no access to cash. When it happened, I was struck by how easy and how instantly I got results. It was witnessed by a colleague who further validated the miracle that had just happened. If only to take that ability and apply it to my bigger goals and my ultimate dream.

But that would take some clearing as I still have some blocks I am dealing with. We all do! And clearing those blocks is certainly a process.

So that's why this morning, when I saw Dr. Joe Vitale's email offer for a free video series outlining 7 Steps to Get Clear on your way to attracting whatever you want, I opted in!

The content is well worth typing in your email address for. There is an optional opt in for his miracles coaching program that you can bypass easily. Don't let that stop you from listening!

I strongly encourage you to go through the short video series. It's brilliant ... simple, easy to understand and  will provide you with an opportunity to incorporate each of the steps along the way to manifesting whatever it is that you dream about!

Enjoy ... and feel free to leave your feedback here! I'm off to visualize sharing a cup of tea with a group of  teens on the sunny deck of my respite center while we talk about creating the life of their dreams!

What happens when a busy film crew, a fast-living power couple and Dr. Wayne Dyer all converge at a California inn? Portia de Rossi leads a cast of characters each exploring their life purpose and discovering their own spiritual journey? Join Wayne Dyer as he facilitates a discussion and process in his feature film, The Shift.

Wayne Dyer has set very lofty goal. He would like 10 million people to watch his film, The Shift.. He believes we can reach a tipping point and all help to make a major shift in consciousness to better our world, our lives and our communities ... and if my experience after watching this movie while in the height of my transition to living on purpose is any evidence of what's possible, then I'd like to help Wayne reach his goal!

The Shift airs this Sunday, April 1st at 11:00amEastern/10Central on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

It is amazing how sometimes the tiniest little things can be so powerful! Perhaps it's a smile from a stranger, a look from a loved one, a random act of kindness that someone did for you that simply made your day.

But today, for me, the very small but powerful thing that impacted my life was a stomach virus ... a tiny little organism that literally took over my body, took over my life and brought me down!

This morning I was literally on my way out the door to client appointments, followed by a board meeting, dinner with a friend and then a weekly discussion group I belong to. As I got ready, I was thinking about how busy I've been ... transitiioning from a very busy winter schedule and going full tilt right into my spring schedule. I haven't had much time to recover and regroup, never mind catch up on laundry and dust bunnies! 

The thought no sooner cross ... WOW...

It was as if my subconscious mind read my mind and found an instant solution to my need for a break. In just a few minutes, I felt dizzy and went into a cold sweat. I felt a sharp pain in my belly looking for a way to exit but, not quite sure which way to go.

In between trips to the bathroom, I cancelled my clients, took a nap, did a little work on my website and got in some much needed snuggle time with my kitties. I'm feeling better now, but I think I'll listen to my body and take the rest of the day off.

Grateful for a virus? Yes, really! But just for today and just for this moment. I've got way too much going on tomorrow, so I think I'll rest up, take another nap and relax for the evening. The  laundry and the dust bunnies will just have to wait!

So yes, I'm grateful for a virus today ... it gave me permission to snuggle with Leah and Sylvester! I think they're grateful too :)
