It gets you thinking about how you are spending your life. What will the dash between the years on your tombstone represent? Life is short, we need to make the best of it. Enjoy the movie. :)

The Secret!

I taped Ophrah's show last Thursday because I didn't want to miss any of it. I knew she was going to have a panel on her show discussing "The Secret". I had seen promos on the Internet for the DVD and I knew there was a book called The Secret. But I didn't really know what it was all about.
I got my husband to watch it with me. All of the comments made by the panel members (which included the author of the book, Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup books and 3 other people who are motivational speakers) really made sense and didn't seem that difficult to do. Basically they were saying that The Secret is about the Law of Attraction. (I am really going to simplify it here.) What you say, feel and do attracts positive or negative energy to you. They gave examples and talked about how they had used this in their lives to become successful. My husband said this was alot like the training he had in being resilient. It made me stop and think.
If you can get ahold of Ophrah's tape watch it! It will get you thinking how you can make your life better. I haven't read the book yet or watched the DVD. I'd like to do one or the other. Ophrah had one woman in the audience who had watched the DVD 62 times! Ophrah herself bought 30 copies of the DVD and passed it out to friends.
I am really going to try some of the tips the panel members presented. I think the power of positive thinking is tremendous. It's just going to take a little work to break old habits. I'm looking forward to really good things happening in the days ahead!
I'm thinking positive thoughts about my business -Gathered From The Garden and how I want it to develop. We'll set some goals and go from there. Check out our website and see what you think--positive of course!! :)

Just Have to Vent!

I am working on getting certified in aromatherapy. My first class started two weeks ago. As part of our grade, we have to do a project and post it on the college's discussion board site. Part of the project requires some research and then you must put it in a powerpoint format, brochure or macromedia format. I did the research, put it in a brochure format (took me several hours) then tried to attach it to the discussion site. Of course, it wouldn't attach. I called the help desk and talked to a fellow there who wanted me to disable my virus protection--he was sure that was the cause. After clicking buttons for an hour, I was no closer to getting my file attached. Someone suggested trying to make it a pdf file. So I spent another couple of hours retyping my info into a brochure format in another software program. I have yet to try to attach it.
I think I am just too old to have to deal with all the trials and tribulations of technology. I just want to learn about essential oils!! Maybe you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!
Wish me luck as I try to attach this new file. If it doesn't work, I maybe never take an online class again!
