You Are the Reason I Know It Will Happen

There’s a huge difference between belief and knowledge and I’ve almost always used the terms belief, believe, believing etc where I should have been declaring my confident knowledge. Someone recently pointed this out to me and I was shocked at my indifference to the term due to the fact that I trusted in my heart that I intended to use knowledge instead.

I believe I am an intelligent woman, especially outside of the normal education system. When I’m not playing with my son, being with my husband or writing I’m reading. Normally I do read fiction but that’s because I am learning how to write it. Once in a while I stray from this and am so thankful I do. I’ve read The Intention Experiment and am now using the power of positive intention to complete my daily routine. I’ve also used this to attract those who know about and trust in the power of intention and am continually inspired by those I meet.

I’ve read The Science of Success and now question everything that happens in my life and, in doing so, can take a step back and see what good has come out of every situation.

Not only am I making a daily effort to spread the word of this magnificent outlook to and connect with people to make this journey of education have an even greater effect on me I’m passing it on to my 4 month old son.

Each and every moment I spend with him I’m thinking about how great he is, how successful he’ll be because he has all the support and resources around him. Even though he’s only 4 months his brain is working harder than anything I’m aware of and now is the time to influence him in the most positive way I know how.

Surrounding him with love, books, knowledge and encouragement I’m creating a world of proof so this little guy can see the immediate effects of knowing you’re attracting what you want and need. Take this post, for example. I’ve already attracted you somehow to read this post. I’ve attracted over 700 votes for my son to win a contest and will continue to attract all the votes necessary to take the lead and maintain it until April 15, 2010 when the votes are reset and the contest begins again.

To be a part of this all you need to do is vote at Baby Stages and attract your friends to do the same.

I appreciate you reading this and know you’ll be a part of passing on the law of attraction to my son.

Sending health, happiness and wealth your way through positive intentions,

My Book Review of The Pact by Jodi Picoult

Mar 242010

Wow! I just finished this book and can’t believe the power of it. Only my second book by the same author I am now wondering why it took me so long to start reading her work.

Although each novel is confusing in the same way if you’re able to follow the seemingly random story lines for the first 100 or so pages they merge wonderfully. I just don’t know how Picoult is able to keep her stories straight without merging them before necessary. The complexity of each novel is relevant in more than just the multiple story lines but is evident in the courts cases as well.

During the reading of The Pact I continually attempted to convince myself of the way it all played out on that chilly night in November and was still shocked to finally discover what may or may not have happened.

What immediately drew me in to this book was the relationship between Chris Harte and Emily Gold as love should be able to conquer all, which I think they both believed and yet the tragic end of Emily’s life was enough to have you doubt it. Being in love is a marvelous thing that can feel like your heart is being stomped on. To not know if it’s being held by family or friend is tragic.

Thanks for reading,

Attracting Good People and Good Books

Reviews 1 Response »
Mar 192010

I often heard of this Jodi Picoult but never had the opportunity to read her books. At the bookstore I always held her works as second choice if I couldn’t find something else but I’ve always managed to find something else to take home. When a friend of a friend offered me Plain Truth I dove right in and barely came up for air.

Reading it very quickly because I had to give it back but more so because I thoroughly enjoyed it I learned how grateful I was to have waited until I was good and ready before I had my son. As this story followed Katie, a practicing Amish, through her struggle of finding out where she belonged more so than who she is the death of a baby was terrifying to me.

To find myself believing that a mother could murder her own child just after giving life to it was horrifying. To imagine a young woman going through labour and delivery by herself on the floor of a barn was enough to make me sick. How morally right is a religion if they turn an innocent child away?

This is a must read in my opinion and I’m now hooked on this author and reading The Pact as I write this.

Thanks for reading!

I Am Attracting You and Your Vote Via Law Of Attraction

Mar 112010

My son William has been gaining popularity steadily and is making me more proud every day. I have a lot of continuing supporters and new ones coming on board each and every day but the competition has amped up. Babies are making appearances quickly and are threatening to take the lead but we won’t let them.

With four days left I have complete trust that literacy, William and me will remain ahead but I’d love you to help expand the gap between myself and the baby in second place. You can do this by casting your vote at Baby Stages, a Canadian magazine. What could be more perfect than a Canadian baby holding a book by a Canadian author on a Canadian magazine. Now THAT’S truly Canadian – aren’t you proud to be one?

Thanks for reading and for your ongoing support,

My Book Review of Wondrous Strange by Leslie Livingston

Reviews No Responses »
Mar 082010

Not my typical choice for a novel I am very thankful I won it and had the pleasure of reading it.
Wondrous Strange takes its readers on a wonderful adventure of faeires, magic and mystical creatures while expanding our imagination and wonder.

Becoming accustomed to reading possible real life scenarios, feasible murders and crimes, I had a difficult time during on particular action scene but got through it and read the tale in its entirety. I was reminded of The Host by Stephenie Meyer but faster paced and a mythical book that actually kept my attention throughout. Directed to young adult readers I quite enjoyed this story and often times couldn’t wait to get back into it.

We follow Kelley, a mere mortal by the perspective of the Janus and Faeries, as she blossoms into adulthood and takes on responsibilities she never thought possible in a million years. Being promoted to lead actress in a Shakespearean play was something she thought would take all of her focus until she met Sonny.

Swept off her feet with the gift of a peach rose in late October then stalked by the man of her dreams, Kelley was confused and distracted with the idea of a horse in her bathtub and a roommate who strictly forbid pets in their apartment.

Wondrous Strange indeed had Central Park turning into a much more magical place than we imagine it today. Livingston’s writing style, fast paced action and beautiful romance made this novel a recommended read in my opinion. Of course it helps that she’s a fellow Canadian author.

Thanks for reading,

My Book Review of Random Acts by Taylor Smith

Mar 082010

I fell in love with this story long before realizing it was written by a fellow Canadian author and then fell in love with it all over again when I did.

Throughout this story of a serial baby snatcher I looked down at my son and thanked the universe for protecting my first born and keeping him healthy and beautiful. I couldn’t imagine the heartache, and don’t want to yet this book made me, of losing a child to death, to adoption, to a psychopath. Laurel has to face two of these but one may have been by her own hand.

Claire started this tale with the heartache of losing a loved one to the Russian mob, or so she thought and thinks throughout but questions the idea many, many times. I had my doubts about each character and yet fought for, defended and felt sorry for some and didn’t get the ending right until I read it.

Taylor took me on so many random thoughts in the duration of this novel yet tied it all up nicely at the conclusion. I’m not sure if I would have ended some things the same way she did but, then again, every writer tells a different story.

Definitely a recommended read so I passed it along.

Thanks for reading,

My Review of Roses Are Red by James Patterson

Reviews No Responses »
Mar 012010

Patterson did it again! He wrote an Alex cross series and didn’t tie up every lose end like I’ve become accustomed to reading. I quite enjoyed this read as it was a novel, a story line, an author I was more familiar with and enjoy the temporary relief of not having to decide if I’m enjoying the novel or not.

I am getting bored of the series and, once again, grabbed something different off the shelf for my current read. I do love having the option of going back to a simple read once I’ve been through more involved stories. Roses Are Red had me learning much more about Jannie then ever before and added a new dimension to the story which I enjoyed and hated at the same time (it wasn’t something very good I learned of Cross’ daughter).

On to the next book and review.

Thanks for reading,
