Happy Second Day of Summer! We've been enjoying cooler-than-normal days here in Worcester until the temperature finally hit the 90's yesterday. Regardless of the weather, my days are always sunny when I can be with my children and grandchildren. Earlier this month, my husband and I met my son Aaron and daughter-in-law Lisa in White Plains, NY and spent time with our grandson Lucas who is already 7 months old!

Last month, I announced the upcoming Beta Launch of my latest offering: an online, self-study version of my signature, 8-module career coaching program. I'm creating this program to make the material accessible to more people, as an affordable alternative to coaching privately with me. Some people have already raised their hands and the spots are filling up! Please scroll down for details!

In this issue, I decided to exclude US labor market stats because job creation in May paled in comparison to 2012's first quarter.   I'd rather highlight something more positive: "The Law of Attraction"-- a Universal law dictating that we get can whatever we focus on, whether it's a situation we want or don't want. 

Surprisingly enough, we can actually contribute to improving the economy by turning off negative TV news segments and ignoring "doom and gloom" newspaper articles. The collective consciousness of peoples' thoughts and feelings around more positive things is what can potentially create this kind of power. 

With that said, my core article for this month is: "Law of Attraction: Five Basic Principles" which is designed to help you understand what Law of Attraction is and how to use it. I've been an avid Law of Attraction practitioner for many years. From my experiences and those of my clients, I know that applying these principles can help people make their career and life dreams come true.

In 2007, the Law of Attraction received lots of media hype with the book and DVD, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Even before The Secret, other spiritual teachers wrote about the Law of Attraction, including Esther and Jerry Hicks, authors of Ask and it is Given, the late Lynn Grabhorn, author of Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting, and Law of Attraction, by Michael Losier.

I've studied and practiced Law of Attraction since 2000 and I can say that it works! When you use Law of Attraction principles correctly and strategically, you'll get whatever your heart desires.

Here are five basic Law of Attraction principles that will help you understand what it is and how to use it, followed by one example of how I've made it work in my life.

Principle #1: Understand sympathetic vibrations - like attracts like. Did you know that if two "Middle C" tuning forks are laying side-by-side and you hit one of them, the other one will vibrate by itself? Like musical notes, everything in the Universe vibrates. When something is vibrating, it will attract whatever is on the same wavelength. As human beings, we vibrate our feelings, which are fueled by what we think about. When we think about something bad, we feel bad; when we think happy thoughts, we feel good! Those "feeling" vibrations attract "same wavelength" vibrations by deliberation or default.

"I worked with Joellyn and went through her Career Action Planning session after months and months spinning my wheels trying to land a position. Her session and follow ups were a great jump start for me in redesigning my resume. She helped me focus on what my strengths were and was encouraging and genuine. She's extremely personable and is a great listener. I'd recommend her to anyone who is struggling finding their next steps in their career path."  -- Louis Miano, Sr. Software Developer
