SUCCESS ATTRACTS SUCCESS AND FAILURE ATTRACTS FAILURE BECAUSE OF THE LAW OF HARMONIOUS ATTRACTION

In physics, positives attract negatives and vice versa, but in human relationships the opposite is true. Negative people attract only other negative people, while positive thinkers attract like-minded individuals. You will find that when you begin to achieve success more successes will follow. This is the law of harmonious attraction. When riches begin to come your way, you’ll be amazed how quickly they accumulate. Train your mind to visualize yourself acquiring a specific amount of wealth or achieving a certain goal-whatever you most desire. Then use self-suggestion to persuade your subconscious mind that you can achieve your goal, and put your plan into action. When you use the tools that you have at your disposal to prepare yourself for success and visualize yourself as having already reached your objective, you can achieve any reasonable goal that you set for yourself.

On January 26th 2010, this was the Napoleon Hill Thought For The Day. This is of course what the Be Well Challenge is based on. The new program at the Center will help you achieve your 2010 goals, your hopes, your dreams. We can manifest our own reality if we just put our mind to it. The energy is at an all time high right now for manifesting... Keep your thoughts clear and positive!

Setting a Course for Financial Independence

In these tough economic times, we are always grateful for good information to help us stay on the right financial track. Yes You Can, Financial Education from American Century Investments has helped many a family find their way to Financial Freedom. Here is one of their latest posts for the New Year:

Research has shown that it takes at least 21 days to form a new, improved habit. That means, over the next three weeks, you can start changing how you spend money and set yourself on the path to financial independence.

Here are some things you can do to help set realistic and achievable goals:

* Keep them small. It’s better to take small steps and succeed than try for a lofty goal and fail. Don’t set a goal you can’t achieve. It may be easier to cut out several small expenses than lop off a single big one.

* Make them measurable. Instead of resolving to “spend less”, set a goal with a specific amount you want to achieve – like a 5% reduction or $100/week in reduced spending.

* Write them down. If you can put your goals into words on paper, you’re more likely to remember them and keep them.

* Limit the number. If you have more than five goals, you might get overwhelmed. To start, think small. It’s better to have several small successes than one big failure.

* Create an action plan. Track your steps on a calendar so you can watch your progress. That will help keep you going. If you haven’t already, create a spending plan, too. This will let you see – penny-by-penny – how you are using your money.

Don’t be discouraged if you miss a goal. Achieving financial independence is a long-term process that requires a disciplined approach.

Thank you, and if you are looking for additional assistance with staying on the right track, call Western Mass Wellness and take advantage of their newest program... The Be Well Challenge!

Girls' Nite Out!

WOW! and what a night it was.

4PM I arrive at Lattitude to find wait staff mopping the floor, cleaning, and rearranging tables for the night to come. The restaurant is closed to the public tonight for a Girls Only Party!

I wanted to arrive early to be sure I would have time to set up my table with enough time to relax a bit before the mad rush. So far just employees, myself, and one other vendor with the same thing in mind... very quiet. As the late afternoon progressed, more vendors were appearing, all setting up our 4' tables to sell our wares.

I introduce myself to a few new faces, as well as say hello to those I recognize as fellow show goers and friends. I pull out the Goddess Cards and share with a new friend... She is shocked by the accuracy of the cards! I do love what I do! It should be a good night.

The wait staff was exceptional to our needs as we set up. Very accommodating. A big thank you to the entire staff especially Matt & David!

Table is all set up, looks pretty good if I do say so myself (no data card in the camera - sorry no pics). My friend Sue shows up to help, and tweaks the table just a bit! (That is of course why I invite her! She's got the eye! :O)

Doors open, like flood gates... wall to wall women heading straight for the bar to taste the official Girls' Martini (available on the Lattitude Menu for 2010). "Not as sweet as I would have thought" says one consumer, "but still good, strong, but good." The night gave all new meaning to the term standing room only!

An incredible night. Lots of fantastic people! (Especially Carol & Pat! What a hoot to talk with them and hear their stories! You gals made our night!) We met so many great folks that we look forward to seeing at the Center for either Open Houses, Classes or Workshops.

Sue was quick to learn the lingo, I'll have her a wellness expert in no time! Once Sue and I were able to at least look up from the table, Matt & David were quick to bring us some tasty treats! We were glad for the break in the crowd, just to be able to get a bit to eat. The hors d'oeuvres were Dee Lish!

A big thank you to the Republican! GJWHF! and Lattitude! For a great night of fun! Maureen & Kathy, you did a fine job!

Gold -by Dr. Anastacia Samson -January 17, 2010

Golden love, light and harmony
Shower down on me.
All that glitters here
Is the gold of life
The gifts of the spirit
Bringing joy for your heart.
Golden opportunity to transform your world
Peel off the layers to discover
To uncover the precious treasures
Within

Angels of gold swoop down,
Scoop the gems of experience from the sea of life
Into their beautiful tapered fingers
Playing the music of the spheres
In a uni-verse of blissful song

They glide in the surf
Of the golden sea
Topped by snowy silver peaks
Of rolling waver
Reflecting the changing light
Of sun and moon
Day and night
Rhyme and reason.

"This is the stuff of dream"
poetry transformed into reality.
It is mine,
Yours,
To have and to hold
In the eternal moment of now
To delight the heart
Nourish the soul
And feed the vision
Of who we REALLY are-
The Spirit of Love-
The fulfillment of life's search
For meaning and purpose
Joy and gratitiude
Given and received.

Gold of old-
The ancient teardrops of the sun.
Weeping in joy
Weeping in sorrow-
Always shifting
Changing
Mutations of the play of light-
Of life.

Impressions-
Fleeting yet indelible,
Momentarily eternal
A paradox
A paradigm
Shadow of opinion, belief
Bathed in the clarity of enlightenment.

We've roamed the valleys of dispair
And scaled the peaks of delight
To know the unchanging
Face of God.

Love, Purity, Peace, Wisdom

When you build a house, every brick counts. When you build character, every thought counts. You are what you think. Love, purity, peace, wisdom - the more you think of these qualities, the more you will become them.

Thought for Today

THE AVERAGE PERSON WOULD HAVE QUIT AT THE FIRST FAILURE. THAT’S WHY THERE HAVE BEEN MANY AVERAGE MEN AND ONLY ONE EDISON

Thomas Edison once observed that the reason most folks don’t recognize opportunity when it comes knocking is that it is often dressed in coveralls and looks like work. Edison knew that anything worthwhile never comes easily; if it were easy, anyone could do it. Because he persisted far beyond the point the average person would consider reasonable and rational, he produced inventions that even the most learned people of the day considered impossible. Great advances in knowledge are often achieved by people with an almost fanatical devotion to finding the solution to a problem. Flashes of inspiration alone are not enough to ensure success; they must be followed by determined, persistent action.

What do you know about Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) ?

Hospital-acquired or Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a global crisis. Recognizing the rapid growth in cases of infection like MRSA and ventilator-associated pneumonia being picked up in hospitals, Kimblery-Clark Healthcare has put together a website called "Not on My Watch" at www.haiwatch.com to educate patients and healthcare professionals. Their goal is to eliminate these preventable illnesses and their often tragic consequences. The website is a collaborative effort between Abraham & Harrison and Kimberly-Clark to generate online awareness.

When someone develops an infection at a hospital or other patient care facility that they did not have prior to treatment, this is referred to as a healthcare-associated (sometimes hospital-acquired) infection (HAI). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at any point in time, 1.4 million people worldwide suffer from infections acquired in hospitals.

As part of an ongoing commitment to quality care and infection prevention, nationwide doctors and hospitals are partnering with Kimberly-Clark to deliver continuing education programs on healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention to staff and management Whether you’re a healthcare professional, patient, or visitor , the most effective way to keep HAIs down to a minimum is to wash your hands or use an alcohol-based sanitizer.



Educate yourself. Keep yourself and your family safe. Simple steps to get fully involved in your own care. It is as important to the doctors to keep you healthy while you are in their care as it is for you to have a fast and speedy recovery if the need arises that you need to be hospitalized.

Everything Retro

Everything seems to always come back "in". From the mustang styling to new (old) fads for clothing to even football uniforms...

I say... let's bring "love thy neighbor" back! or maybe good old fashion child rearing... where parents were in charge! Just like it used to be!!

Ahhhh... the good ole days...

Just think... no cell phones or texting, your child actually asks if it is ok to go next door and hang out with Bobby before dinner since his homework is finished. Those were the days right? Not worrying if Janey is pregnant,no. Just worrying whether or not she will be too nervous to kiss Jimmy for the first time at the prom!

That was the life, right? simple, slower than it is today... what seems to be the problem? Society, and what we are becoming, where we are going... Look around, it's not pretty... More responsibility at work for less pay. No employee/employer loyalty. (What's that?) My father worked at the same company for 43 years, that's right 43! started off at the very bottom and made his way all the way to the top. An honest living. Not who he knew, or who he - well... you get the picture. When I tell folks I was at a company for 17 years, at my age, they look at me as though I have three heads! Yikes! I loved that job!

The only way life can get more simple now a days is if we make it so... ourselves. Learn to slow down. Breathe. Deep. The only one that can do it for you, is you... I know it seems impossible. In this technologically savvy world we live... when a businessman could tell a fellow colleague, "I'll get back to you on that." and if it was by the end of the week, that was terrific. Now? If you do not return calls within 24 hours someone out there, without a shadow of a doubt will think you're dead. Trust me, it's happened to me! Sad... but none the less true...

Join the Retro Rage! why not?
