I felt like I should post this today. So I am... It is from The Jackrabbit Factor.

"Nobody has an obstacle so great that there is not also a way prepared for that person to succeed. That's a promise....

"Richard spoke up, cautious not to sound like he was trying to make excuses, 'Certainly there are times when a task is truly impossible, I mean, you'll never see a really old man place first in a traithlon, will you?'

"With a slight grin, the man raised his eyebrows, blinked slowly, and shrugged his houlders. 'I've learned to never say "never". I've also learned that if I believe I can't do something under certain conditions, somewhere in the billions of people on this planet someone exists who would do it anyway. So I figure, why not me?...Miracles do happen.'

"' I just don't understand how a person can do something remarkable if they don't already have what it takes.'

"'I'll be honest; most people can't achieve their dreams...as they are. But people can change. Success comes when a person submits to change, but it isn't the kind of change that you'd suspect. See, although a person might not have all he needs to make something happen immediately, he certainly has all he needs to get started, and that's all that matters. If they picture themselves successful, and feel the victory as though it were real, and believe that somehow there will be a way, then they can expect it.'" - Leslie Householder

It is going to be me, and I am so excited!

This youtube video was very funny. It is very true that we have so many blessings that we take for granted every day. It only takes four minutes to watch. I laughed...

I have a story about the power of these laws in action. I have told some of you, but if you haven't heard it read on.

I have been on a very strict debt-elimination plan since we started having a regular income. (2 failed businesses and student loans had left us some debt that I was NOT okay with) We did a good job on our own, but I really wanted to sell our truck to pay off even more.

I tried last year, but really didn't think it would sell. I didn't even get ONE e-mail or phone call.

Then I read these books and started thinking of things that I wanted. One of them is all of my money to be mine! So I wrote about how great it felt to sell my truck as part of the process of releasing my debt. I didn't expect it to happen for a while, but I was certain it would happen. Then one day I felt like I should put it up for sale, so I listened to that prompting of the spirit - even though I was very surprised by it. The next week it was sold!!! I couldn't believe it. $10,000 in debt and a huge gas guzzler is gone! That was last month. Now we are on to attracting a new car that gets way better gas mileage. Except I am paying for this one in cash. :)

That is just one of many examples so far. I have heard about law of attraction stuff for most of my life and it always rang true for me that it was way more useful to think positively then to fear and doubt. I didn't really believe that you could control anything with your thoughts though - that seemed a little too hocus pocus to me. Leslie presented the information in such a way that it really fit in with my view of the world and my faith. Really it is just a principle of faith. Also, Leslie has helped and is still helping me to figure out how to use these laws. I feel like I have grown more in these last two months then I have in the last 5 years! I am learning so much about myself and God and our relationship every day!

As you can tell I am very excited...still.... If you haven't read anything please do!
Here is her website!

If any of you live close by, you can borrow the book(s) from me!

I had and am still having the most amazing experience! I just had to share it with some more people. My awesome sister gave my mom The Jackrabbit Factor for Christmas. Because I read this book, my life has completely changed!

I should clarify that I wasn't unhappy or depressed or really worried. I was actually floating around in this "blah" sort of state just going about my days. I didn't really realize it then - but seriously the only way to describe life was BLAH. I wasn't working towards any big goals because I was content with where I was and I knew I was going to be hanging out in this "mother" role for quite a while.

Anyway, my mom gave me the book to read and I had what I call an awakening. It was awesome!

These are the things that happened that I am most excited about:

• I am feeling life in a whole new way and it feels great! It is like life in HD!
• I can't even describe to you how excited I am every day.
  
• I know what I want and I know that every day it is closer to me then the day before.
  
• I feel like I know how to have faith in a whole new way.
• My testimony of the Savior and Heavenly Father has been strengthened like never before. I feel like my relationship with them gets better daily.
• I have HUGE dreams/goals and I am absolutely POSITIVE that I will be able to accomplish them with the help of God.
• My relationship with Ilija has improved because I am focusing more on myself instead of trying to micromanage him. (my mom would call this something about co-dependence because I grew up in an addict household) Anyone that goes to 12 step meetings knows how important it is to work on yourself and I am doing such a great job at it right now!
  

Please take the time to read this book. The author began by learning and teaching from Bob Proctor - has something to do with the book/movie The Secret. She is LDS and her book Hidden Treasures is a great Christian take on the principles of the "law of attraction". I highly recommend checking out either of these books at the library, or on Amazon, or on Leslie's website. She has a great story, so check it out! The banner at the top of the page will take you there. Please go!!!!

Just in the last week Peja has taken it up a notch. He has become such a busybody! He can not sit still and runs around the house and is CONSTANTLY grabbing things and exploring. It is amazing.
