A year ago this weekend, Barry and I were at the System Seminar in Chicago… and met face-to-face for the first time ever.

We had been working together for over 6 months by that point, and had just had a major success with the launch of Masters Of The Secret…

And we had been friends for over a year.

As business partners, we had done our fair share of arguing (hey, two ambitious, driven people who are passionate about what they do are bound to clash from time to time)…

But meeting in person allowed us to see that there were elements of each others’ personalities we had never noticed or given the other person credit for before.

Hanging out for the whole weekend — shooting video interviews together, attending sessions at the seminar together, eating meals together, and one night even exploring why “Chicago, Chicago is my kind of town” with a trip downtown to a jazz club and The Second City comedy show — cemented that we really were good together, both as friends and business partners.

But something else happened that weekend that was totally unexpected…

Last night Barry and I went to the gym for date night.

I know, the gym… how romantic, right?

But we actually have a lot of fun at the gym together.  Usually it starts off with some stretching and/or machine workouts, then a game of basketball, and finally a dip in the pool.

We used to end the pool time with a hot tub soak, but now that I’m pregnant I’m not supposed to submerge myself in water that hot — there is a warm therapeutic pool that’s the next best thing, though… and we can do water yoga, stretches, small laps, or use the water weights for an enjoyable workout.

And… having Barry pull me around the pool with a foam tube is a fun ride for me (and a great workout for him).

But last night, the most amazing part happened before we got in the pool!

This morning I went to get my second ultrasound done, with my new OB/GYN at the Women’s Health Center here in town.

The baby is 9 weeks old now… and wow, has it grown since my first ultrasound at 6 weeks!

Not only that, but I saw it actually moving this time — whereas at 6 weeks he/she (or Peanut, as we call him/her) was just sleeping. And I heard the heartbeat, as strong and healthy as can be.

Here’s my latest baby picture. You can almost make out the hands and feet, which were actually waving around quite quickly at the time. The arrow is pointing at his head (yes, the head is the same size as the body).

It sure brings the term “miracle” into perspective when you can see the living results two people made… basically out of thin air!

I’ve seen the miracle of birth many times when I was breeding cats (and one of the reasons I chose my doctor is because she delivered her first litter of kittens at 9 years old)… but it’s different when it’s inside you.

Today Barry and I were watching the Final Four basketball play-offs, part of the NCAA March Madness tournament.

We’ve been watching it all along, and guess what? I’m actually enjoying watching it!

I always figured that if I was going to watch sports, it might as well be at the pro level — the players are better, so the game would be more exciting, right?

But Barry has taught me that college basketball is even more fun and inspiring, because anything can happen — with a little determination…

Easter has come to represent a time of new beginnings.

Eggs are a symbol of new life, Spring is a time of new growth, and we see images of baby rabbits, ducks and chickens everywhere we look.

Of course the religious tradition of Easter revolves around new beginnings as well, so it all makes sense.

This year, the Easter Bunny brought Barry and I something special… a new beginning of our own.

We just found out we’ve created the ultimate in manifestations — a new being (who will embody an old soul, but be new to this lifetime) that has already been created, but will be born to the world in November (shortly before my own birthday).

Yes… we’re expecting a baby!

Probably the most exciting, life-changing manifestation that exists!

And just like manifesting a career, a partner, a house, a car, wealth, health, or anything else — it’s after the initial seed is planted that the gestation period kicks in, and finally what you’ve created appears.

It never appears right away — because it needs time to develop, and for you to be ready for it, while it gets ready for you.

Funny how we all accept that when it comes to pregnancy… and yet we’re impatient when manifesting anything else on the above list.

Maybe we need to think of all our manifestations as babies, so we give them the patience, love and understanding they deserve.

Happy Easter!

Yesterday Barry and I went to Medford… I had an appointment at the LASIK center (my eyes have now healed, but while the vision in my left is perfect, the vision in my right has gone back to where it used to be when I wore contacts — that’s good because it’s better than it has been the past month, and because I still have some contact lenses that I can wear while I wait another two months to get a LASIK touch-up!)

Then we met with a prospective new business associate, and afterwards stayed for our weekly “date night”.

Yes, every Friday night is date night… so no matter how busy, frustrated, or buried in work we get during the week, we always know that Friday night is our time to relax, get out of work mode, enjoy each others’ company and appreciate being together.

Nothing is better for a relationship than the time you dedicate to each other, and you can kick that up a few notches by feeling grateful and appreciative for every moment that it lasts.

This time we went to Red Lobster (one of my favorite restaurants — and the one in Medford happens to be the only one around), followed by a movie.

The movie was forgettable… it was called Vantage Point, and the description seemed like an almost metaphysical drama about different viewpoints surrounding a situation, but it played out more like a boring repeat of the same viewpoint with emphasis on different people each time.

Oh, well, it was time alone, side by side in the dark… who can ask for anything more?

And before it started we had some time to kill, so we played around in the arcade downstairs where they had our favorite toy — a photo booth!

This one only took black and white photos, but gave us the opportunity to be goofy and have some fun… as well as take home a reminder of what fun we have together.

And that’s really what life is all about!

After all, like my email signature says…

The meaning of life is to play the game, have fun, and learn along the way!

Okay, it finally happened!

We manifested Barry (Bear) winning me a bear at the fair!

He actually first tried to win me a stuffed bear at a fair last summer, but didn’t end up getting the prize.

And Friday night he won me the purple Taz, which I appreciated a lot… but it wasn’t a bear, and I wanted Bear to win me a bear!

So yesterday afternoon we were playing roulette at the Circus Circus Reno casino when a girl walked up to the table with a big bear that she had won upstairs.

I pointed it out to Barry and said, “She won a bear!” with a little knowing grin.

I asked her where she won it, and she told us at the darts game… then I told Bear, “You could win me one of those!”

I thought about it, I felt it.

I was sure it was going to happen.

Then we went upstairs, strolled around a bit, and finally came across the same darts game.

“There’s my bear…” I said to Barry.

The object of the game was to get a dart in the middle of a little white star — essentially a bullseye. Now, Barry hadn’t played darts in years, and figured he’d need about 30 to get up to bullseye standard… but he didn’t tell me that.

The second dart missed by about 2 millimeters.

And the next one nailed it… just 2 millimeters above the first.

We manifested the bullseye — and the bear! (Shown in the picture with me above)

What were the keys to accomplishing it?

What does it take to make a life-long dog lover, who has always disliked cats, into a bona fide cat lover?

You have to shift his (or her) values… through the power of love.

Dr. John F. Demartini – who I interviewed for Masters of the Secret — says that everything we do, everything we notice, everything we excel at, everything we succeed at, is based on our value system.

And so is love… you can’t love what you don’t value.

But sometimes loving another person makes you look at their values in a different light. And that means a shift in values based on that love.

Earlier this week, Barry and I took Jupiter out to the park on a leash for her first journey outside. And in this picture, you can see that he has genuinely turned into a cat lover over the last six months or so… and not just our own cats, but he loves looking at cats in the pet store now, and will even take an unannounced side trip there if we happen to be driving remotely nearby.

So how did that happen, when less than a year ago he said he hated cats?

I just posted an article on the LWLWorldwide blog about Hollywood relationships, and what they mean (or don’t mean) to you…

And it also includes a video from me, and another chance to attend a free tele-call on relationship magic with me and relationship expert Zen DeBrucke this week.

Barry just created our third “Love Without Limits” video to celebrate our love and life (personal and business, since the two often overlap) together… but this time he used a cool whiz-bang automatic video montage creator.

You can get it for free — or upgrade to premium for only $40 a year — and it’s so ridiculously easy that absolutely anyone can create impressive videos and photo montages set to music, in just a few minutes.

Here’s our latest video:

Make video montages at www.LWLMedia.com

And you can create your own at LWLMedia.com…Part 1 and Part 2 were created the “old-fashioned” way of using proper video editing software… but this new service is faster and easier, and comes with cool effects, transitions and templates you can add automatically.As for where we host the videos we create from scratch, we like to use OurVideoHub… the “how to” info there is unsurpassed, too.

So if you missed them… here’s Part 1:
