There’s an error in your second and third links - they should be switched.

Yikes! Thanks for pointing that out, Faith3. That’s what I get for trying to do a links post real quick before I go out to do my morning run. :) It’s fixed now.

Darn Leo,
Are you a mind reader? I have a post scheduled for Thursday about “the secret”. We are pretty much on a same wavelength regarding the movie. And you wrote about speed reading, several hours after I announced that I’m taking that as my next habit change… scary stuff

Lodewijkvdg - I second that. Leo, thank you so much for that Secret post. I get so irritated by the latest in yet another type of wishcraft repackaged and sold to millions. Positive thinking is critical; but there’s nothing mystical about it. Incidentally, funny story: some well-meaning extended relatives sent me a copy of the DVD. I let the cat chew on it for a while before deciding to toss it. Then, I thought I’d just donate it to the local bookstore. I did and as I was checking out the latest hardcovers, the bookstore owner and her clerk noticed the DVD (I’d left it in the free pile without a word). They literally began shrieking for joy in amazement that they had manifested their desire - evidently, some customer had come in the day before asking for the DVD, and lo and behold, here it was! I didn’t have the heart to say anything, but I couldn’t believe I’d unwittingly validated the subject of my amused derision. Arghhh!!! (Real reason for stopping by bookstore: delicious curry next door). But, I guess the universe just pulled me to them! ;)

@Lodewijkvdb: Actually, yes, I’m a mind reader. And now you’ve blown my secret! :) I look forward to reading your take on the Secret. And good luck with your habit change!

@Sara: LOVED that story. Brilliant. And now I’m hungry for curry. Do they have tofu curry? Can you mail some to Guam? I am sending my electromagnetic brain waves into the universe, and waiting for the universe to manifest my desire for tofu curry. Mmmm.

Thanks for sharing!

Did the curry show up? Universe, send me some too, please. Watch I’ll probably cook some tomorrow or …maybe just get take out. :-)

Great take on “The Secret” movie and Henry Ford …

Just don’t look at the tree when you’re going down the hill. Unless you want to hit it.

Leo: did you get the curry? Because I totally sent it. Via my brain waves, of course. ;)

BTW, I am in total awe of your insane amount of guest posting. I don’t know how you are so productive, but obviously your advice works. Sheesh!

Sara … well, it hasn’t physically manifested, but I do feel a bit fuller than before, and there’s a slightly curry taste in my mouth. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I have to show my gratitude to you anyway! :)

As for my insane amount of guest posting … I just love what I do! And my methods for being productive are no secret — it’s all the stuff I write about. And yes, it does work. :)
