Some interesting folk!

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

I want to share two of my favourite blogs. Derren Brown’s never ceases to satisfy my need for totally useless information. I’m also a big fan of Derren’s. Not sure what he thinks to the Law of Attraction though, probably not much, but hey it works for me.

Derren Brown.

Derren Brown.

I’ve been to see his shows several times, the last one being his latest Enigma tour. He is incredible to watch, a true showman who performs the most draw dropping illusions. Go and see him if you get the chance. The other blog I’ve been drawn to via Mr Brown’s site is by Richard Wiseman He has just launched a new Facebook page where he will soon be revealing a new secret project. Become a fan to find out more.

Unexpected cheques in the post!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Don’t you just love them!!!

You’ve come to the end of your bank account, the last few pennies have been dug out from the back of the sofa and you’ve raided the kids money boxes.

But…they are still bills to be paid and food to be bought…what are you going to do???

It’s time to turn to the old Law of Attraction ‘Unexpected Cheque’ routine.

The idea is, that you expect to receive a cheque in the post. You don’t need to know where the cheque is coming from, you just need to believe that you WILL get one.

You’ve got to be careful with this one though. Do you really want great Aunt Ethel dropping dead just so you can a payout from her will? Ok…maybe you do, but aside from old ladies passing away, there are other ways of getting unexpected cheques.

Let me give you an example: Last week I picked up the post, and sandwiched between the usual demands for money was an interesting envelope from America.

Inside was a cheque for $101 from Site build it. Now, I won’t go on about Site build it but they are pretty brilliant, in fact it’s where I’m building my other website. http://www.vegetarian-lifestyle-guide.com

The $101 was comission for ’selling’ the site build it system. In fact we hadn’t actually ’sold’ anything. It had come from people stumbling across my site and using a link that I have to buy the site build it system. Great!! We had made around £64 for doing nowt!

A few days before that we had received £111 from some other commission from a shopping cart software that we used to use for BeingaMillionaire. Again, we done nothing and yet here we are with almost £200 in our bank account.

I’m now thinking…’What would happen if I actually did something about this, there would be more cheques in the post!!’

So here’s my first attempt at a bit of promotion. By the way, this is a really REALLY great site, especially if like me, you have no idea how to build a website.

Cornish Hols!

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Just got back from a wonderful break in Cornwall. The weather was fabulous, the beaches were clean and uncrowded and our accomodation was comfortable.

My dad had taken the two eldest to Center Parcs, so it was just us two and youngest, who had a whale of a time digging in the sand and falling into rockpools.

We've got to go down WHERE!!!

We've got to go down WHERE!!!

We had ‘ordered’ the trip to Padstow whilst working through the prosperity game. We had also ‘ordered’ a meal at Fifteen and Rick Stein’s sea food restaurant. Unfortunately we had to make do with gazing at the menus looking like we were going in to book, but then changing our minds!!

In fact we did go into Rick Stein’s place and booked ourself a table for dinner knowing that they don’t allow young children. The receptionist booked us in and then noticed our grinning toddler sitting in his very battered bright yellow pushchair. ‘I’m sorry we don’t take children under the age of three’. ‘Oh No!!’ exclaimed the OH, ‘Well you’ll just have to cancel our booking’ and trounced out in disgust. We then stood in the nearby chippy giggling.

O.H Outside Fifteen. They don't do just coffee!

O.H Outside Fifteen. They don't do just coffee!

On our way back from Padstow, we decided to ditch the Sat Nav and navigate the old fashioned way with a map! Somehow we managed to drive past a place called St Kitts Herbery. As I have a passing interest in herbs we decided to pull in. Outside were gorgeous smelling herbs and a very friendly cat which youngest waved at so vigorously he fell over!

Inside was a wonderful shop full of lotions, bubble baths, creams and chocolate!! All hand made using natural ingredients.

I had a field day picking out some face cream, cleanser and of course…chocolate!!

We had a long chat with the owner Paul and he told us how it was a family run business and when they first started and despite huge debts they persevered with the business and have now found success online and even supply Jamie Oliver’s restaurants.

It was a great story and sounded very ‘Law of attraction’. I’ve been using their products for a week now and I’m very impressed. I might even stopped buying my Neals Yard products and switch to St Kitts.

Back on the right track!

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

I kind of knew it would happen.

After my little hissy fit on Tuesday about speeding fines and ‘lack’ of money I took a deep breath, calmed down and reverted back to focusing on raising my vibration.

That night I received an email from a business owner interested in buying some £1million notes for his shop and website and by Wednesday morning he had placed his order! When OH (Other half) asked where he’d heard of us he gave us a name of some clients of ours from years ago, people we had lost contact with.

So there you have it, I guess I have to trust the Universe and know that it will always provide what we want when we want it. I have a terrible habit of projecting into the future and then panicking about not having enough.

Changing the subject, I have just finished reading a book called ‘Petite Anglaise’ by Catherine Sanderson.

In a nutshell it’s a true account of about an English girl (Catherine) who moves to Paris, meets her man, has a baby and the begins to write a blog which ultimately changes her life.

I had no idea it was about a blog until I started to read it. It was really freaky as when Catherine writes about receiving comments, I checked my blog to find I had received some comments. I was so excited and felt as though there was some kind of connection.

I’ve been so taken with the book that I sent Catherine a message by email and she replied. I was incredibly excited as it felt like the book coming true. (She connected with her blog readers alot) I think I’ve become a bit of a stalker!! By the way, if you happen to be reading this Catherine, I can assure you I am NOT a stalker and there is no need to be in the slightest bit scared!!

It got me thinking how small the world is becoming, especially the world of celebrity. There I am conversing with my current favourite author, reading Stephen Fry’s tweets and finding about about Michael Jackson’s death via a website before the BBC even announced it.

I don’t know where I’m going with this, it’s just another of those things that amazes me about the world we live in today.

Anyway, I completely recommend you read Petite Anglaise, especially if you have a blog yourself.
