Wow!  It's been an incredible few months!  I can't believe nearly half the year has flown by already.  I hope you've got your goals in order as before we know it, we'll be celebrating to a whole new year ahead.

I'm super excited and beyond thrilled with the adventures that life has taken me in this year.  And the greatest beauty is that I have all you wonderful grand dreamers to share this journey with.  I recently launched my first online telecourse with a super excited group that is jumping right into everything to take hold of their prosperity and own it...just as we were meant to do.  Can't fight those innate birth gifts, can we?  And no reason to fight them, they are an inherent part of us.  Simply by tapping into my own unique gifts, I've been able to grow in ways that I had never imagined.  And speaking of launching my recent telecourse, I had a few people ask if they could still join...and because I feel this is the year for all of us to prosper and thrive, I'm happy to open up a few more limited spots.  Here's what one excited participant shared with me last night in a very beautiful and touching email message:

"I have already learned so much from you about love and tenderness.  I feel like a wilted flower that has been blessed with a gentle, life-giving rain!  I am so ready to transform my life, and you are the perfect teacher for me and for all of us Partners in Prosperity!  Thank you for the gift of your friendship and teaching!"

As soon as I see your registration come through, I'll send you a downloadable MP3 of the first class and all the resources.  If you're ready to prosper and rock your life to a newler level this year, now is the time.

That's only the start of my exciting ventures.  I actually have some beyond amazing news that I will be sharing over the coming months but in brief...I have partnered with some major leading experts throughout the globe for a very exciting project.  As we get closer to launch date, I'll be sharing more information with you all and I assure you...this is going to change lives so if you're ready to join a global revolution, stay tuned.

This month's article is very special and one from the heart...on my secrets of attraction.  This is what I seem to be asked most often and while it's easy to say that our thoughts create our realities, there are concrete steps you can take to more easily attract your heart's desires.  So please enjoy...from my heart to yours!  And don't forget to use the special visualization tool I shared with you (you'll see the link in the article).

Also, I have a very special Grand Creator story to share with you this month from my good friend Dinneen Diette, the founder of Eat Without Guilt.  What I love about Dinneen's work is that she teaches how we can change our ideas about body weight and image with simple "positive eating" changes in our everyday choices.  Having been both underweight and overweight in my life, I know the struggles are not always easy but I can tell you that Dinneen's approach is one of the best I've seen and it absolutely works...and when we look at things from deeper within, usually our battles are not even with food really but I'll leave you to read that my expert friend's view.

There's a spring in Marissa's step, and she simply radiates positive, upbeat, can-do energy. She's "in the flow." Good things continue to happen in her work and personal life with seeming effortlessness. 
 
Contrast this with Kelly, who puts in twice as many hours at work, super long, hard hours every day - yet rarely achieves what she's striving so hard to create. 
 
What's the difference? Hint: It has to do with Marissa's ability to attract what she wants. However, this kind of attraction has nothing to do with looks.
 
Rather, it's about Marissa's ability to attract abundance by living in a way that's in tune with her purpose, her passions, her most vital and alive self.
 
The law of attraction. It's not just some woo-woo theory, it's scientific: like matter attracts like. It's similar to a radio broadcast: when tuned into a particular station, you will only hear (attract) the frequency of radio waves that match that station's signal. And when that happens, everything seems easy, not a struggle.
 
"Once you change the way you are inside, the outer world changes," writes Joe Vitale, author of the best-seller The Attractor Factor.
 
Vitale is one of dozens of authors who write persuasively on the subject, as is Sonia Choquette, author of Your Heart's Desire: Creating the Life You Really Want. Most suggest the same key ingredients for attracting into your life what you want:  
 
ˇ  Get clear on what you want and why. It's not enough to know what you don't want. You can't get what you want until you know what that is! Getting crystal clear is where the "magic" of attraction all begins. 
 
ˇ  Imagine it. See it as happening. "Conscious change is brought about by the two qualities inherent in consciousness: attention and intention," writes Deepak Chopra. "Attention energizes, and intention transforms. Whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life."
 
ˇ  Keep yourself receptive. Exercise, eat healthily, play, relax. Stress, exhaustion, sluggishness, etc., can all interfere with attraction. In the radio station analogy, they become the "static" that interfere with the "frequencies" of that which you're wanting to attract. Though taking a day off to relax rather than working frantically may seem as difficult as stepping off a precipice, it can be just what is needed.    
 
ˇ  Listen to your intuitive nudges. Attraction isn't about sitting back and waiting for it all to come to you. Action is always required to meet goals and make dreams come true. Vitale writes: "Your job is to ask for what you want, and then to act on the inner nudges you get to do things, like make phone calls, write letters, visit a certain person, or whatever." Don't worry if your "nudges" don't make immediate sense. The "why" will reveal itself later. 
 
ˇ  Surrender control. This means to let go and trust. Let go of the particular way in which things will happen. Let go of fear, doubt, worry and disappointment. Let go of the notion of struggle. Trust that the outcome will be just right. 
 
So whether it's a job promotion, landing that huge client or buying a new house, claim your dream. It's yours if you want it.
