A lot of stuff comes across my desk, but this one really piqued my interest… it’s an amazing opportunity if you’ve ever wanted to help others, or just really master the ability to create the life you want.

Imagine being able to take an online course that certified you in an area you love… helped you overcome any stumbling blocks you have yourself… and allowed you to pass on that knowledge and expertise to others who need it badly.

All for literally just pennies!

Well, here’s your chance.

The Law of Attraction Practitioner Certification program from LOA Expert Dr. Joe Vitale & hypnotherapist Steve G. Jones has already helped THOUSANDS of people…

And by all estimates, it’s about to help thousands more.

Here’s why:

For approximately the next 72 hours, they’re allowing you opportunity to get certified at a MASSIVE discount.

They’ve never ran a sale on this program before, and don’t plan to for a long time.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn everything there is to know about the Law of Attraction, position yourself to get paid for your knowledge, and do it without a huge financial or timely outlay, then this is the time to act (and… maybe you just attracted this opportunity)

As you probably know, I never endorse what I haven’t seen or used myself.

So I downloaded this already, and it’s a high-quality course that will give you all you need to master the topic, whether you’re a metaphysical beginner or have been consciously creating for years.

I can’t wait to dive in deeper, because it’s so easy to lose sight of the basics and find ourselves stuck in ruts, even when we’re doing our best to honor what we truly want out of life.

And it goes more in-depth into certain areas that I’m currently fascinated with, such as getting in touch with your emotions and making them work for (instead of against) you.

I first interviewed Joe Vitale almost 7 years ago, and I’m about to interview Steve G. Jones in a few weeks… so I can also vouch for the professionalism and knowledge of the course instructors.

I recommend giving it a try, whether you want to work with others professionally or just help yourself, your friends and family… at this price, it’s really an easy decision!

P.S. There’s nothing to lose here… the program is fully guaranteed for 60 days or you don’t pay for it.

Dear 2011,

Often we go through life looking for easy routes to happiness. And at the end of the day (or year), when people talk about what they’re grateful for, it’s the “good” times they focus on.

In a reversal, and in honor of my good friends Yin and Yang, I’d like to thank you, 2011, for the “bad” times too.

Perhaps “good” and “bad” are too black-and-white. After all, Yin and Yang would tell us that every good has its bad side, and every bad has its good side.

So, 2011, I’d like to thank you for the easy times and the challenging ones. For the times when it felt like I was zooming straight ahead, firing on all cylinders, and for the times when it felt like I was hitting roadblocks or getting stuck in the mud.

For the joy, the pain, the sunshine, and the rain (yeah, I know, I sound like an old song by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock)

Yes, you’ve brought me more challenges than I’ve ever experienced in my life (or at least in a very long time), on many levels. But I’m sure I signed up for them, way back when, before I made a return to this earth in human form.

So you’ve more than delivered. And in the process I’ve learned more about my weaknesses, and more about my strengths, than I ever could have imagined.

That’s what’s required for us to learn, grow or develop in life.

And one of the things I’ve learned is to embrace every bump in the road and every rainy cloud, because the bumps are paved with gold and the clouds have silver linings.

2011, I’ll never forget you and what you’ve taught me. I’m grateful for every moment you’ve spent with me, no matter how much I may have resisted you at the time.

Now I bid you a fond farewell as I look forward to 2012, and what exciting experiences it will bring me in the coming year.

Lots of love,

Heather
xoxo

P.S. Enjoy that classic hip song I mentioned above, in your honor — this version brought to us by my old friend from Toronto, Chris Sheppard:

P.P.S. Happy New Year!

Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life!

I just read about an influential writer and producer named Joe Bodolai who helped create Canadian comedy TV.

He was instrumental in the creation of The Comedy Network, shows like Kids in the Hall and Comics, and co-wrote the original Wayne’s World movie with Mike Myers. He also wrote for SNL.

Our paths crossed with some of the same people I knew when working in the media world in Toronto. I also met and regularly interacted with several members of the Kids in the Hall cast and crew over the years, since they worked in the same building.

But I never had the pleasure of meeting Joe.

A few days ago, he published a final farewell blog post on his Say It Ain’t So, Joe blog. He called the post “If This Was Your Last Day Alive, What Would You Do?”

It was nearly his last day alive, as I’m sad to say he apparently just took his own life.

I can understand the pain people go through when life throws curve balls. We’ve all walked through darkness, trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel.

I just find it such a blow when someone — a valuable, talented, creative, giving person (like we all are at the core) — finally succumbs to despair and seeks a different kind of light.

It seemed like Joe understood that life is a balance of good and bad, and that you need to fight for what you want. In business, and in the comedy world, he fought singlehandedly to save several projects that he believed in.

And after his last blog entry, he posted on Facebook that he’d be alone on Christmas and intended to volunteer to help the homeless.

But for all his accomplishments, the goodness in his heart, and all the value he gave to the rest of us — as radio veteran Gene Valaitis said, chances are Joe made you laugh, which is an incredible gift — he took the final curtain call.

I’d like to take this opportunity to dedicate a favorite video of mine to Joe. Joe, I resonate with the spirit of your final post, as I’ve also written before about the same topic. I like to reference this song when I do, because it says it all so well.

I only hope that this time, the soul-searching aspect of the subject inspires others to find the strength to create a better life. To count their blessings, be grateful for what they have, value what they offer, share with others, and express what they’re feeling in their hearts.

I like a lot of Nickelback’s music, but I think this is by far their best song, for the depth and meaning of the lyrics.

Listen, enjoy, ponder, heed… and may you find joy and thought-provoking inspiration here:

Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life!

I’ve been thinking a lot about Santa Claus lately. With a 3-year-old, it’s hard to escape that at Christmas time!

And what I’ve realized more and more is, Santa isn’t about an old man with a beard, any more than God is (in my opinion and belief).

God (or the Universe, the Creator, or whatever name you like) is everywhere. Omnipresent.

A spiritual force that connects us all together, whether we’re in a particular “special” building or not.

And Santa, in many ways, is too.

So while we were told as kids that he watches and knows all about whether we’re good or bad… that’s true in the same sense that the Universe delivers experiences that we focus on, whether it’s good or bad (yin or yang).

In other words, the spirit of St. Nick is the spirit of the Universe. And loving Santa is like loving life.

Merry Christmas!

Whether you write it as 11.11.11, 11-11-11, or 11/11/11, today is seen as a lucky day… and much more.

“11.11.11 is special because there is no other date that consists of all the same number. The day comes around once every 100 years, meaning (this) is the only time many people will be alive to experience the unique date,” points out Stuff.co.nz.

But it’s even more significant than that:

“The number 1 represents the Creator-God, the masculine energy setting itself into the outer world, creating new beginnings. When that number 1 resonates and repeats itself, it becomes 11 which is a “Master Vibration Number” that means The Spiritual Messenger. It is the messenger that brings revelation and inspiration from a higher plain,” according to the Realm of Tranquility.

And that makes it a perfect day for meditating and connecting with your higher self, especially at the even more magical times of 11:11:11.

Some even say this is the unofficial start of the 2012 metaphysical year, says John Hoopes, Maya history scholar at the University of Kansas.

Now, you might say that they’re just numbers, and that may be true.

But what’s wrong with looking for patterns in life (they’re everywhere, in nature and in man-made items — including our personal habits), appreciating symmetry, or finding meaning in the mathematics of the Universe?

This afternoon, while driving along the main drag in town, I saw a hilarious sight; let’s call it a battle of the fast food mascots.

Three out of four corners were occupied by dancing food — a dancing Pita Pit pita on one corner, a dancing Quizno’s drink on another, and a dancing Yogurt Hut cup of frozen yogurt, complete with a cherry on his head, on the third.

All of them were trying desperately to attract attention to their respective joints, just off the main strip.

I didn’t see any cars turning off their usual routes because of the dancing mascots… and I wondered how effective it was.

Halloween is the one day of the year when it’s OK to pretend to be somebody else.

But these days, with the popularity of social media fueling the trend, it seems like more and more people would love to put up a facade on a day-to-day basis.

Hey, I’ve been guilty of it too, to a somewhat calculated degree.

As someone who started life painfully shy (and still often feel uncomfortable around strangers), I’ve always been a big proponent of the concept of “act as if” or “fake it till you make it”

And in the public eye, I believe that’s fine. We all need some privacy, right?

But hiding ourselves completely doesn’t work anymore.

Last week my computer died (again)… or, well, it got pretty sick.

The culprit was a great anti-virus program that had recently stopped working on my machine. After numerous uninstalls and re-installs that didn’t work, the support staff sent me a fourth removal tool that worked too well… it removed the drivers from my OS and the whole thing had to be recreated.

Yes, I was annoyed. Angry, even. I just wanted protection from viruses. And instead I got a bigger problem.

When most of us think of yoga, we think about the physical kind: downward and upward dogs, and poses that resemble trees, cobras, bridges, bows, and various types of warriors, for example.

But I’ve just recently heard about jnana yoga, which is yoga of the mind.

This is a good explanation of it:

Jnana Yoga – The Path of Understanding

Jnana yoga is a path of yoga specifically for those who are intellectually inclined. (But you might not find … Jnana yoga (pronounced as “YAN- na”) is the yoga of inquiry of the self as a path to understanding. This path requires …

Of course, as always, I’m interested in how things that like can fit into and enhance our everyday lives.

Concepts are great, but practice of them is obviously better.

So here’s an inspiring article that helps with that… it’s all about the yoga of manifestation (or, I suppose, the yoga of emotions):

The Yoga of Manifestation | How To Balance A Busy Life

There is a yoga to life; it is the practiced art of lifting yourself up just one small step from wherever you are right now. Feeling just a little bit better.

So now, when your “dawg” is feeling “downward”, you have a few more options to uplift it!

As we move officially into autumn, my Canadian mind is still focused on colder weather (even though where I live, it gets cool but not really downright cold).

So this quote really caught my attention:

“One kind word can warm three winter months.”
- Japanese Proverb

It’s easy to get caught up in our own lives and forget to be kind to others. But spreading around warm fuzzies actually brings good feelings to you, the giver, as well.

So how can you make a difference to others?
