Saved By The Virus (Mindpower MP3)

Things are Happening

 

After another bout of computer virus attacks I went out and bought a MAC Pro.  I was told that most viruses are designed for Microsoft PC's so there'd be less of a chance for the Mac to get attacked, at least until they get more popular.  It's taking a little readjustment to learn the ins and outs of Apple ware, but I'm getting there.

I'm finding, though, that I can't download pictures for my websites as I did with my PC, so I think I'll keep my DELL to work on them, write posts and download music until I figure out how to take advantage of the Mac.  Life is full of new learning experiences.


Speaking of music, I bought some more brainwave entrainment audios from MindpowerMP3.com. I found that all of my computer playing, writing, and experimenting had led my weight to creep up on me, so I decided to take this opportunity to try their weight control programs.

The first thing I listened to was the "Reduce Cravings" audio.  It's 30 minutes of very ethereal and calming music/brain entrainment, and I have to say, I liked it.  I had inadvertently tested it while downloading it into my MP3 player.  I had just baked some cookies and was happily munching on them when I put my earphones on to see if my audio had downloaded correctly.  Within 5 minutes, I had stopped eating the cookies, almost forgetting that they were right next to me on the desk.  If it weren't for Jolene's attention on the dish, I would have forgotten about them.  I actually (mainly because I felt that I had gone to all of the trouble to make the dumb things and didn't want to waste them) had to convince myself to finish off the cookies.  I think from now on I'll listen to this audio every time I have the urge to eat something and see what happens. 

The "Lose Weight Naturally" audios are for bedtime listening, so I'll listen to them in bed for a while to see what happens.  Wouldn't it be nice to actually find something that really worked for me!

Back to the computer virus subject.  I have to tell you about the dream I had after I bought the Mac.  I hadn't thought much about the virus after I shut down my computer and moved on to the store.  I figured I'd be able to continue on with business as usual and could take my time removing the virus off of my Dell, so I wasn't very worried about it, I thought.  It bothered me that this had happened, but not as much as it did the first time, many months ago, when I was in the middle of the website production and had little time to waste.

So when I had this dream, I was a little surprised by it.  But I guess my subconscious was still bothered by the whole virus thing.

I dreamed that I was staying at my parent's house, sleeping in my old bed in my own room, and I was very restless.  My bed was uncomfortable and it was dark, so I couldn't tell what the problem was.  When morning came I found my sheets were littered by roofing materials; bits and pieces of wood, roofing tile and gravel.  I looked up and there was no ceiling,  and the roof had holes in it, almost like a storm had hit and taken some of the protective covering, causing the wood to rot and fall apart.  Then I looked over and saw that my windows had no panes.  Someone had stolen the windows.  Soon I was worrying about people coming in and robbing me while I wasn't paying attention, so I searched my room to see what else was stolen.  I found that my jewelry was missing.  What bothered me the most was that my grandmother's jewelry was also missing; my memories had been taken.

I alerted the household and went on a major search.  There were people everywhere cleaning up and searching for my lost goods.  For some reason I was sure I didn't keep everything in one place, so something had to still be there, and after some rummaging around in drawers I finally found some of my heirloom jewelery, tucked away and safe.  Whew, some memories were still with me.

Next thing I know I'm  traveling around a very green countryside with a new friend.  She had short, dark hair, a big smile and a quick wit.  What struck me the most was her accent.  I couldn't place it while in the dream, but it added to my new friend's personality and humor and I decided I liked it.

We drive through village after village in an old beat-up car, visit with families and old people, and buy their wares.  Some were homemade, some were old unwanted knick knacks, and all felt personal and necessary to remember my trip by.   I was making new memories with my new friends.

When I woke up from the dream, I realized that my girlfriend was Scottish, hence her accent.  We were traveling around Scotland.  Did you know that MacIntosh is a Scottish clan name?  I had to Google it to find this out. 

All I could think was that the brain entrainment was working on my brain, helping it organize and categorize my thoughts in such a  logical way that my subconscious mind formed this story to help me deal with the problem at hand.  I have to hand it to my brain:  I've had some pretty crazy dreams before, but none of the symbolism had been this obvious before.

So now I'm using the brain entrainment to try to lose weight.  We'll see if it works.

On a side note:  I've just listened to a webinar by Natalie Ledwell, cocreator of Mind Movies.  Mind Movies has joined forces with Morry Zelcovich, you know, the brain entrainment guy from an earlier post, Train Your Brain.  So now you can have a double whammy of video subliminal affirmations with brain training entrainment pulses.  It sounds pretty promising!

Very Interesting (Mahendra Trivedi)

Very Interesting Indeed

   It's been a couple of weeks and I'm still drinking my Gano coffee.  I've been drinking the mocha version, but I don't think it's as good as the 3 in one, which is the cream and sugar.  The coffee works good in the morning; after I drink it I'm energized enough to get through the rest of the workday, which has been pretty lousy lately.  My day starts at 12:30 in the morning, and usually I've hit my energy wall at 9am, but with the coffee I've been able to wait until I get home around 1pm before the wall hits me.  An early "linner" (lunch/dinner), a cup of the rooibos tea, and I'm in bed sound asleep by 6pm.  

   It's a terrible schedule, but it pays. I'm lucky I only have to do it a few days a week.

   I've been working on the Furry Earthling site.  It's getting some good pages and I've added the twitter bird, but I'm having great difficulty getting the Facebook buttons on the site.  The same with the Happy Earthling site.  Some day I'll figure it out.  I've got faith.

   Speaking of Happy Earthling, you should see the comments I've been getting.  Somehow people from all over the world are finding the site and giving me some pretty good feedback!  I'm excited and scared at the same time.  From now on I'm going to have to be good at this stuff.  I'm happy, though, that I've got information that people want to learn.  I hope the pages help and entertain!

 
   Now for the interesting stuff.  I've had two energy transmissions, or blessings, from Mahendra Kumar Trivedi.  Every other week we, the clients and students, log into the webinar site to listen to a little lecture for about an hour.  Then we sit still, say a little prayer of whatever kind we are individually comfortable with, and Mr. Trivedi sends out a blast of energy.  I guess the prayers open us up to be energy receivers and the energy finds us.  All I know is that I always feel something happening.

Mahendra Trivedi

The lecture included information about what to expect after the transmission, why he started these transmission sessions and why people want them in the first place.  He said that people all over the world have a myriad of problems, physically, emotionally and spiritually, because they don't know their life purpose.  The transmissions activate our inner guidance systems to help us find our way, become happier and healthier and turn into teachers for other people who need to find their purpose. 

The first night I sat still with my eyes closed and took stock of any physical sensations.  At first I felt nothing more than a little tingling along my spine, but after a while I could feel something interesting happening in front of my face.  Completely different than the energy wind I felt when first I signed up, it felt like a little vortex was spinning in front of my face.  It was so close my nose and lips felt like they were rotating with the vortex.  Imagine you're about to get sucked up into a black hole -  It was kind of like that - I could almost picture my face being drawn into the vortex, the rest of my body ready to follow.  

   Just as I was really getting into the sensation, Mr. Trivedi announced, a little too loudly in my opinion, that the transmission was finished, and the spell was over.  Next thing I know, everybody was saying goodbye and I was left with my notebook trying to write down the experience.

   The next session was pretty much the same, except the energy transmission felt different.  This time I sat with my eyes closed and my hands on my lap, palms facing up.  For a while nothing happened, but near the end of the transmission I felt the vortex start up in my hands.  Imagine a soccer ball rotating above your lap; the feeling of the moving air  brushing past your palms.  It was as if I was holding the energy vortex, or a rotating ball of energy.  Very interesting sensation.  Again Mr. Trivedi abruptly ended the session just as I was getting into it and said goodbye.  By now, though, I was ready for the quick exit and held on to the feeling as long as I could before opening my eyes and clicking out of the webcast.

   So far the effect of these transmissions has been pretty positive.  Even though my work schedule is enough to ruin anybody's health, I've been able to get through my days without any disasters and always in a good mood.  You're told at the beginning of the call to expect some physical effects of the transmissions: your face shows a change; your skin starts to glow, your eyes sparkle, you start to look rested and healthy.  Your sleep cycle gets shorter because you sleep more deeply, and cell regeneration improves.  Last night a coworker actually commented that my face was different, and I never told her about the transmissions.  Even though I feel like I could sleep a week, I apparently don't show my exhaustion, and even with allergy season at such a strong level, I'm not feeling the effects like I was last year.

   I can't wait for the next and last session.  My intuition is supposed to get a good push and I'll be able to find what I need to take me to the next phase of my life.  Toxins are supposed to get flushed out better and once my connection to the power of the universe is strengthened the law of attraction will work stronger for me.  This is what I'm to expect, so I'll keep track and let you know if anything really changes for me.  I'm really curious to see what's next.

   If you're interested to learn more about these energy transmissions, to to www.trivedimasterwellness.com. 

  I've also been listening to the brain entrainment music and hypnosis-audios.  MindpowerMP3.com  has a great selection of MP3 audios to choose from that will enhance your brain power one way or another.  I've listened to a few over and over; one is a financial abundance (of course) self-hypnosis + brain entrainment + music, one is for sleeping better (what crazy dreams this causes) with music, odd sounds and brain entrainment, and one is for attracting lucky circumstances.  The latter is a self-hypnosis audio to listen to while relaxing into a sleep state.  All of these are good for bed-time relaxation.

   There are shorter audios that I like to listen to when I wake in the morning, each a different frequency with music that's supposed to trigger different brain functions.  It's all been very interesting, but time will tell if I'm getting anything out of it.  There's so much to choose from on the Mindpower site, that it's hard to decide which to buy, so if you're interested in trying some out it's probably best to figure out what you want to accomplish, then get the audio that'll help you with your goal.  There's a sample radio for you to listen to some of the music.

   I just bought a program called Quantum Jumping that seemed different.  It's a system designed to get you plugged into different versions of yourself so that you can accomplish what you desire.  The theory is that there are unlimited dimensions of the universe, and each has a version of you that has already become who you want to be in this plane.  The Quantum Jumping system will teach you how to get in touch with some of those other you's to tap into their talents.

  We'll see.  I'll let you know what happens.

Whoo! There's so much to do!

Progress Report

    Okay, I've been drinking my Gano coffee (and the rooibos tea, which is pretty good) every morning and listening to Morry's brain entrainment, including the Quantum Confidence.  So far so good.  Except for the water in my ear from this morning's shower, I feel pretty perky. 


    I'm also improving my chakra health and beating up my money monster, but you'll have to visit Happy-Earthling to figure out what that means.  


    A couple of weeks ago I enrolled in a "Manifest Now" webinar series, and every day since I've listened to energy healers and writers and had to hold myself back every time from buying more programs.  I have to admit, though, I succumbed to a couple. 

     One package was from Harrison Klein, a teacher and transformationalist (his self description).  With a series of six telephone seminars he talks about energy health, the law of attraction, and energy consciousness and he seems to know what he's talking about.  My energy is raising just thinking about his lectures, which is really what they are.  You can tell he was a teacher; he really enjoys what he does, and it shows.  Go to  www.iamharrisonklein.com if you want to know more about what he does.

    Mahendra Trivedi really caught my attention, though.  He has an uncanny ability to transmit some kind of Universal energy that  enhances the health and energy level of people, animals and plants, transforming the growth and well-being of everything he transmits to.  He may be a bit goofy looking, but scientists are very interested in his ability and have been testing him and his energy boosts on everything from grape crops to cancer patients.


     The plan he was selling was for transmitting three energy boosts during three different telephone seminars for a reasonable payment which will be used for further research in energy transmissions.   Done over the phone, he'll send energy my way to boost my personal energy and heal any cellular deficiencies.  This was a very interesting proposition.

    Yes, I did it.  At first it was curiosity that got me; I had to know more, and I was all for research funding.  The strangest thing happened, though, and I was not prepared for it.  Just minutes after I bought the "plan" I was hit by a wave of something very hard to explain.  Like an invisible electronic wind, the wave washed over me, practically knocking me out of my chair.  I could feel my hair flowing around my head in the electrical breeze and I had to hold onto my desk to keep from falling over; at least it felt like I'd fall over.  I didn't know what it really was, or if it had anything to do with the Trivedi Effect, as it's called, but I was impressed.  The real phone transmission will be the test.

    Go to www.trivedimasterwellness.com if you want to know more about this crazy guy.  I know I'm not done learning about him. 

    I finally started Furry Earthlings, my site for pet owners.  I wanted to create a page that I'll call, "Love Chronicles," and feature pets and love stories from their owners, so I emailed all of my friends with animals to get them to submit something from the heart about their furry kids.  So far I've gotten one answer, and it was not much of a love story.  This might turn out to be a page all about Jolene, my little mutt, if this keeps up.


    But I did find some good information about positive reinforcement training and created a page with some good programs for cats, dogs, and birds.  Next I'll talk about nutrition.  This might turn out to be a pretty good website.


    Happy Earthlings is getting some good comments.  Every new post spurs me on to continue creating more pages.  Every new "Manifest Now" webinar brings to me a subject to write about, so more is coming.  


     I'll let you know what happens, if anything, with my phone transmissions.  It's an every-other week affair and time will tell if I get any energy boosts.  Until then I'll keep drinking my Gano coffee and tea and continue to train my brain.  Maybe my money honey will help me create a new income.  I've got a lead on musical brain entrainment and I'm thinking of trying some of their albums.  


    Energy, Ho!

Train Your Brain! (Brain Entrainment)

What is Brain Entrainment?      


    I was talking to my Mind Protein coach one day about what I'd accomplished in the previous weeks and what I wanted to accomplish in the next two, when he suggested I get in touch with another student.  She was working on a marketing project with this guy who had developed a set of audios designed to enhance your brain power.  Intrigued, I chose to believe he meant that this might be a good sales opportunity and not a comment on my lack of intelligence, and emailed her.  I'd heard of brain entrainment and had always wanted to try it and I figured I could kill two birds with one tone, so to speak; improve my brain power while helping out a fellow student and her client. 

    So, what is brain entrainment, you might ask?

    We all know that our brains are electrically charged and scientists can measure our brainwave activity via sensitive electronic equipment, such as with an EEG, or electroencephalogram machine.  They discovered that the activity can be affected externally by pulses of light or sound and the electrical response of the brain to this type of stimulus is called brainwave entrainment.  Depending on the frequency of the pulse, the brain responds by synchronizing its own electric cycle to the same rhythm of the pulse to create specific brain activity.  You can improve your state of creativity, concentration, sleep, meditation, etc. with regular exposure to these pulses.

    Research has shown that you need at least 6 full minutes at any desired frequency to allow the brain to entrain to it.  Any unwanted sounds, such as music or someone talking in a nonrhythmic manner, that occur during the presentation of the main tone actually get in the way of the entrainment process.  What you hear on the audios is a steady pulse of electronic beats that stimulate your brain to match the frequency of the audio and enhance your brain's activity.  I looked at these pictures and thought, hey, it'd be nice to actually use most of my brain  instead of straining what little is actually working.  It'd be a nice change to be able to communicate efficiently and remember what I had for breakfast.. 

    Even though they warn people with brain issues, like epilepsy, about using these audio systems, I decided it was worth a try.

    Lisa, my contact, is working with Morry Zelcovitch, a certified brainwave entrainment engineer, who has developed his own program of brain boosting audios.  I told her that I'd like to try one of his audio systems, then I'd write about what I thought of it.  She immediately sent me one of his three-audio systems and I downloaded them onto my MP3 player.  After listening to them on a regular basis I'm supposed to be able to think more clearly,  be better at solving problems, reduce mental fatigue, and just plain use more of my brain.

    Woo, hoo!  I thought.  I am ready for a good brain booster.  That day I set out to improve my brain function and listened to the Alpha-Flight audio.  Very interesting.  It was almost like listening to a super fast train on a super smooth track.

    Morry's product is called The Morry Method and he has a nice web site that explains what his program is designed to do.  Go to www.themorrymethod.com and read the testimonials that he has posted.  The three audios Linda sent me were called,  Digital Coffee, Alpha Flight and Quantum Confidence.  I was supposed to listen to Digital Coffee in the morning, Alpha Flight in the afternoons and Quantum Confidence about two hours before bed every day for two to three months.

    Hah!  It's been a couple of weeks now, and I've managed to listen to Digital Coffee most mornings and Alpha Flight most evenings, both while in bed.  They're each almost 20 minutes long, and I have a difficult time stopping everything to sit still with my MP3 player three times a day.  But I keep trying.  At this rate, though, I'll never have Quantum Confidence.

    I've been trying to notice any changes with my brain power.  What I've noticed is this:  my hot flashes increased and my sense of smell has improved.  And yesterday I was able to hold onto a set of numbers that I had to use as a password to a new account.  That was new for me.  Usually those numbers flitter out of my brain before I get a chance to click on the next open page.  So, maybe this brain entrainment is working.  Maybe two months from now I'll be able to create a website a day, like my Mind Protein mentors insist I should be able to do by now.  


    Sigh.   I just went to Morry's Facebook Page and saw that the Quantum Confidence is supposed to go to the root cause of what's holding me back.  Looks like I'll have to try harder to listen to it.  Check out his page and click on the "Learn about the method" tab to get a free sample of his Quantum Mind Power System.  Become a fan and maybe he'll invite you  to a free webinar about his program. 

I'm going to continue listening to these audios and report back to you about how it's working.  I'm not sure I'm supposed to have physical reactions, and it's hard to know what my brain is doing even on a good day, but I'm sure to notice when I actually feel smarter.  Or at least remember what I had for breakfast. 
  

My Gano Cafe

     Can Coffee Heal You?

That's what I've been told.  Of course, it depends on what's in the coffee, and there's a magic mushroom in this coffee.

I met a nice woman, Tam, on LinkedIn that wanted help selling her book.  Like me, she's been looking for a better way to teach, and she wrote a book for kids about the law of attraction.  It's a cute little book with a good message, so I created a link to her web page on Little Earthlings; check it out if you dare.

During our e-conversations she asked if I liked coffee, and I said yes.  The next thing I know she sends me a couple of packets of instant organic coffee from Gano Excel, a coffee company that markets coffee and tea spiced with ganoderma lucidum, a mushroom prized for it's ability to aid the body to heal itself.  The coffee she sent had sugar and cream, called Gano cafe 3-in-1; I tried it and liked it and thought, what the heck, I'll keep drinking it and see if it's really helping me.

Tam sent me a link to her virtual coffee shop and a video of a testimonial about how drinking the coffee changed this man's life.  He went on and on about his health:  his arthritis was cured, he lost weight, his eyesight improved, his hair grew back, he has more energy, more zest for life, better brain function--on and on he went until I decided I wasn't going to wait around for him to give birth and stopped the video.  My curiosity was piqued, though, and I wanted to know more about this magic mushroom.

I searched the web for any information I could find, keeping an eye out for someone to say that it was all hype and there were actually unhealthy aspects of the mushroom.  I haven't found any yet.  I also found that it's big business, even though I've never heard of it before, and people were selling and buying gano lucidum supplements all over the place.  This was good, I decided, I can not only become a regular drinker of the coffee, I could promote it to people.

I went one step further; I now have my own virtual coffee shop.  The shop offers the coffee in several styles: with sugar and cream, a mocha flavor, coffee with ginseng, and plain black for those who want to use their own sweeteners, like me.  I've become a fan of agave nectar and almond milk in my tea and coffee.  My Gano Cafe also offers hot chocolate and rooibus tea with the mushroom in it, making the tea a double punch of anti oxidants, and it's caffeine free. They also sell supplements, a hot cereal and soap.

Here's what I've learned about ganoderma lucidum:  it's the scientific name for a species of red mushroom called reishi that once grew in the wild and is now being cultivated at special farms, in pristine growing conditions.  Ganoderma contains more than 200 active elements that are known to improve our health.  It is known to: 

• Strengthen the body's immune system
• Balance blood sugar level and improve pancreatic functions
• Protect against degeneration of skin cells and reduces the appearance of aging
• Control destruction of healthy cells throughout the body
• Eliminate accumulated toxins
• Increase metabolism
• Reduce cholesterol
• Inhibit allergies 
• Relieve sinus congestion

And much more that makes it sound too good to be true.  The more you take it, the healthier and stronger your body gets, and if you are already overwhelmed by a bunch of supplements you're forgetting to take on a daily basis, like me, drinking a cup of coffee or tea a day is an easy way to make sure you're supplementing your health.  Sounds like a good deal, eh?

When you look at the prices of Gano Excel's products, you think, Holy Moly, that's a lot for a cup of coffee!   At least that's what I thought.  But when you really think about it, you get 30 packets in each box, each a cup of coffee, and the price of that cup of coffee costs less than a dollar, plus your gano supplement is already infused.  Then Tam showed me that I can enroll for an automated ship service that lets me cut the price almost in half, and I can switch the products around and try them all.  I've got the rooibus tea, a tea I already like to drink in the evening, on order.  Next I'm trying the hot chocolate.

If you're interested in learning more, check out my website, www.myganocafe.com/h2be and go through all of the pages on the green line at the top of the page.  You'll get a lot of information.  And there's a video link on the page in the orange box above my head.  If you're still not convinced, web search the dumb mushroom.

I know I'm impressed enough to drink the coffee, which is good organically grown coffee, by the way.  I never thought I'd like instant coffee like this.  I took some to work and had other people give me their opinions and they liked it too.  I'll keep you apprised on how their other products strike me as I try them. 

Gano Excel is an international corporation that seems to be pretty popular.  They have company locations all over the world.  Go HERE if you want to know more about them.  They even have You Tube video link.

You ever know what you'll like until you try it.  And remember, a healthy body is a high vibrating body!

I Must Be Crazy 6

Crazy no More

After some months of driving myself crazy trying to keep up with all of the videos, homework, online projects, blogs, article writing, website creating, book reading, webinar watching, and everything else I have to do to keep up with Mind Protein and live my other, normally crazy life, I've finally made a decision.  

I need to focus on the original idea: teaching people what I know about being a happy earthling.  I don't know everything, which is why I'm including the advice and teachings of the experts that I have found to be legitimate and interesting, but I've learned enough over the years to know the difference between truth and bull.  I plan on focusing on the truth.  I hope to be able to turn skeptics into followers of a positive way of life.  I hope to create other happy earthlings. 


During my internet travels I've found a small number of groups already following a positive path.  The interesting thing to me is how many thousands of people there are that belong to these few groups.  I can see a need for more groups and support systems for people who want to change their lives.  People want to be happy, but are confused about how to get there. 

So this is my plan:  using Happy 2 be Earthbound as a mother company, I'm creating daughter websites that relate to learning about a positive lifestyle and high vibration living.  


Little Earthlings focuses on helping parents raise positive children.  We talk about the law of attraction, staying healthy physically, mentally and emotionally, and recommendations of products that enhance the well-being of our future adult happy earthlings.

Happy Earthlings is now a sounding board about the products and programs that I've tried and find not only to be legitimate, but good.  I base my opinions on what I've learned from my own experiences over the years, and will do everything I can to promote the teachers, counselors, experts and products that will enhance the lives of any who are interested.  The thing I like about most of these teachers is that they offer free samplings of what they teach.  If you find their program is not right for you, you don't have to buy anything. 

We can't leave out our other loved ones: our pets.  I'm calling that site Furry Earthlings.  I'll be including information on the health and well being of our not so furry friends, mainly because I have a bird and have become pretty attached to her, but the main focus will be on dogs and cats and a few rodent-types.  Who hasn't tried their hand at parenting with a guinea pig or hamster?  I'll leave the veterinary advice to the experts, but there will be links available to the best I can find.  

Another site I'm creating will be about life-enhancing traveling.  Worldly Earthlings will focus on the travel groups and eco-tour companies that I've taken vacations with that have proven to not only be earth promoting, but are focused on the well-being and satisfaction of their customers.  I've had some pretty good adventures and will LOVE talking about them.  I've been to some beautiful places and have had some profoundly life changing experiences, and I believe everyone should have at least one adventure that they can carry with them and talk about for the rest of their lives.

I also hope to spark a revolution.  The vibration of the planet and it's people is speeding up.  In the past few years, while trying to keep our heads above the financial waters and take care of our families, we somehow came together to improve our world.  You might feel like you're doing it alone, but the energy being created by everyone's effort is combining to push us over the frequency edge, and the planet is feeling the love.  If we can turn our focus from looking at what's wrong with the world to seeing what's really working for us, if we can learn to tap into the power that is at our fingertips--the high frequencies of love, acceptance, beauty, and abundance--we can preserve the beauty of our planet and move into the next level of our evolution.  We are the light.  We just need to flick the switch to shine.

Every day I see a news story or read something on the Internet that proves to me that we are doing it--we are changing the world.  All of our worries about our future should now be turned into expectations of a great improvement in humanity, and that should translate into saving our planet.

This is all new to me.  I haven't got the slightest idea how to make it all work, but I refuse to stop now.  I'm going to continue to create the websites and look to you, the students, and the teachers of the light to help me with the revolution.  I'll make bad decisions and do dumb things, but that is what living is all about.  You learn from your mistakes and become better for it.  You look for a way to improve yourself and never stop.

Being a happy earthling may take a little work, but there is a lot of help to be found for those who want to put in the effort.  I'm finding that out right now. 

From now on my blogs will be production reports.  I want to let everybody know what I'm up to and talk about all of my adventures into the world of marketing.  Maybe I can inspire some people to live their best lives, and hopefully help some find their passion.

I'm on Facebook as Valorie Maya, have a twitter account as Valoriemaya, and have started two Facebook fan pages, one for Little Earthlings and one for Happy 2 be Earthbound.  Friend, Like or follow me if you're up to it.  I promise to share everything positive.


Check out the websites: http://www.Happy2beEarthbound.com, http://www.LittleEarthlings.net, and http://www.Happy-Earthling.com.  My book, Raise Your Vibration, be Happy to be Earthbound,  is on sale on Amazon.com.  My HiVibe newsletter is available to all, sign in on Facebook, Happy-Earthling, or Happy2beEarthbound. It will be a continuing educational tool that expands on everything I talk about in my book and more. 

Everything is a work in progress, and I'm always open to suggestions if you want something I haven't provided.  please feel free to contact me in any forum. My email address is Happy2beEarthbound@gmail.com.

I look forward to my next blog.  Maybe I'll talk more about what I plan on doing next. Or maybe I'll just ramble on about how busy I am.

I Must Be Crazy 5

Crazy to go on

Now I was a member of Mind Protein.  And the work really began.

They gave me access to a site filled with video tutorials, e-products to buy, and tools to use as I build my empire.  With each video came a week's worth of homework.  I had to write blogs and articles, have a product to sell, create videos of my own, research the competition, strategize to beat the competition, and watch other videos.

Remember, all I wanted was to create a website and write a book to tell my story.

The very first week's tutorials were about hiring help.  I was already over my head.  I didn't know what I'd be hiring help for.  They gave me websites and e-companies to use to find my help.  I put that on the back-burner and moved on.

Then Mind Protein gave me access to their research and website builder tools.  I needed to research keywords and build sites that would expand on my original idea and ultimately lead people to my main website.  In the meantime I needed to learn about why I needed keywords, how the internet worked and how people would ultimately find me.

I had to create a newsletter, learn how to copy and edit other peoples websites - a tool I've yet to use -  define my niche and find affiliate products related to my niche, understand and create accounts with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and any other social networking site I wanted.  I had to write articles and submit them to several ezine sites, write blogs, publish my book, create an ad for it, write other articles.  I was supposed to hire other people to write my articles for me, but when I tried, I found it easier to write them myself than wait for an article to come back to me, edit and make changes, send it back for rewriting, and still not get the message that I was trying to relay in the article. 

One of the things that was, and still is, required of me is to set up an account with Google Optimizer to compare different versions of my websites to see which people went to the most.  It took so much time and energy to create one website, I couldn't imagine coming up with different versions just for the fun of it, so that is something else on the back burner.

Oy.  And that was the first month.  And I had to do all of this while working to pay the bills. 

I have to make contacts, study my competition, study other websites, watch more videos and create more websites.  By now I'm supposed to have ten sites that are optimized to attract thousands of people. I actually have 3 websites and four domain names still unpublished.  I've written articles and had them accepted on four different ezine sites, and a fifth is under consideration.  I'm creating Facebook pages for two of my sites, and yes, I did have to hire help for that.  He's a nice kid in London, the Facebook capital of the world.  We are working on the contacts.  I've made a video to go with the free e-book that I also hired someone to write for me to advertise my newsletter.  My first week's lesson actually came in handy.  The book,  How to Live a Rewarding and Positive Life, is pretty good.  I wish I could write as well.

I've got 24 weeks of training modules to go through, and three months into this venture I'm proud to announce I've finished 7 of them. 

And I finally published my book!  It's called, Raise Your Vibration, Be Happy to be Earthbound.  After some fruitless effort trying to publish it with Clickbank.com, a highly respected but complicated source of e-products, I finally gave up and went to Amazon.  I've written a sales page for the book and posted it on two of my sites, started a pretty good newsletter, if I say so myself, and have lots of ideas for more articles.  It turns out I'm chock-full of usable information. 

Was the price of the project worth it?  Will all of my work pay off?

We'll see.  I'm still creating, working my pants off, and learning how to do more.  I'm still waiting for my first sales.  I'm still waiting to see if anyone likes what I've been doing.  I'm still waiting to see if I can become a good marketer.

In the meantime I hope I'm doing some good, helping some people out, showing them a way to improve their lives.  But no matter what happens in the future, I'll be toiling away at my vision: teaching people that it's possible to be positive and happy in a world full of negativity.

My next blog will reveal my constantly evolving already established projects, and some ideas I have for new projects.  It's exciting!  At least for me.
