"The Power" by Rhonda Byrne
Did you revisit "The Secret" this past weekend? Now, let's look beyond "The Secret" and explore Byrne's new book, "The Power".
The Secret eludes me
All I am attracting lately is poverty, so where did I and most of my co workers go wrong. In this economy how can the secret work?
To Thine Own Self Be True
The Law of Attraction is about learning to empower yourself to follow your own higher guidance rather than giving your power away to others to achieve your greater good.

Life Carrot's Volume Two Writers Needed
We are looking for people to write a few words in volume two of a book on optimism and "positive forward thinking." Many of your had participated in volume I last year which is due to be published shortly.
Our second volume, also in conjunction with Fairfield University (the author's alma mater), is designed to help motivate people that are enduring hard times. A great comparison is "Chicken Soup for the Soul" meets "Power of Positive Thinking." Quite simply, we are looking for people to share a few words about experiences in their lives and how they worked out for the best.
You can share experiences, offer advice, provide examples, offer philosophy, etc. It can be anything such as careers, finance, family, relationships, health, divorce, death, sports, hobbies and more. The key is that your writings will provide encouragement and inspiration to our readers. It can be any size from 10 words (i.e. a quote) up to 500 (i.e. a mini-chapter). If you wish to share stories about clients and/or colleagues, we can accept pen names and fictitious names as well.
Please consider writing something and forwarding this message to your friends, family, colleagues, etc. Please contact me for details and submission guidelines. You can also visit our LifeCarrots.com website to learn more. This applies to lay people as well as professionals.
Thank you,
Michele O'Connor

NOTE FROM ESTER ABOUT JERRY
Dear, dear Friends,
Our sweet Jerry made his transition into Nonphysical last Friday. How sweet the Vortex is feeling to him today!
Jerry said to me when we came together over 30 years ago that given the difference in our ages that it was likely “that I will cut out on you early,” to which I replied, “I don’t mind.” His joy of life and continual new discovery of purpose kept his life feeling fresh and we shared such joyous eagerness for life.
Over the years, Abraham has consistently insisted that there is no death. Again and again they have reminded us that there is only life and more life and more life. It has taken me some time to understand this, and I honestly must say I have not yet fully come to terms with it, but I do believe that in what we are calling Jerry’s death he is discovering the next logical step of life that Abraham has always been talking about. And at times I am catching a glimpse of the bigness of what Jerry is feeling and while I am still pretty mad at him for not sticking around longer to surprise and delight me in all the ways he has been doing throughout our 30 years together I accept fully that the next logical step of joyous life for Jerry was to be found in his re-emergence into Nonphysical.
Since 1985 it has been Jerry and Esther and Abraham and I believe with everything that I am that that has not changed. I know that Jerry will continue to be the third powerful point of the triad of Energy that makes up the Abraham experience and I am certain that his new vantage point will be, as it has always been, of advantage to us all.
I know for sure that Jerry will help me, in time, release my own personal resistance to physical death, because I will not be able to maintain that resistance and also play easily with him. And my desire to continue not only my Abraham experience but also my Jerry experience I am certain he will be the catalyst to help me do what Abraham has been trying to help us all do all along.
Once again, Jerry is out there leading the way for me. But the difference this time is that I must find the way. I am not there yet, but it is my absolute promise to myself that I will find the way, because it is the most natural thing in the world to do and because Jerry has provided for me the reason to do it.
I am eager about what is ahead and while I cannot begin to explain or even imagine the details of how it is all going to play out, I am certain that it will be fun.
I am such a fortunate girl, to have been able to play with Jerry and Abraham and all of you for so many wonderful years and I am so eager to continue doing more of the same for many more years to come. I feel certain right now that not only has nothing gone wrong, but things are going especially right. It will be different, for sure, but it will also be very, very good.
I’m feeling such love for you all, and for Abraham and most of all for Jerry. And as I have said to him a thousand or more times through the years, “Well isn’t life just a kick in the pants?”
Love,
Esther

"You are the most powerful magenet in the Universe! You contain a magnetic power within you that is more powerful than anything in this world, and this unfamthomable magnet power is emitted through your thoughts."
"The Secret", Rhonda Byrne, pg. 7

The Secret Is...
...the law of attraction!"
"Everything that's coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it's attracted to you by virtue of the images you're holding in your mind. It's what you're thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you."
Bob Proctor, "The Secret" pg. 4
