Law of Attraction Seminar with Michael Losier
[Steffani Fort LeFevour]
Want to have a great love life, plenty of money and dream clients? Then welcome to your new life – all of this can be yours if you know how to apply the principles of Law of Attraction. That’s what Canadian Bestselling Author and Learning Annex featured speaker, Michael Losier says in his upcoming seminar in Chicago on September 12th, 2010. Losier is the author of, Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don’t.
“Have you noticed that when you need something, it often just falls into place or comes to you from an out-of-the-blue source?” asks Losier. “Perhaps you have met the perfect life partner or client – just by being at the right place at the right time? Or maybe you have friends who are in bad relationships – consistently – yet they’re always complaining that they keep attracting the same kind of people. All of these experiences, both good and bad, are evidence of the Law of Attraction.” For more information, visit: http://www.positive-focus.com/michael-losier-event

Babyslog.com: A FREE Daily Record of Your Baby’s Care
[Karen Berliner]
This is a no frills website of mine that offers a free baby log sheet. I created this log sheet for our nanny to use to record the daily care of our baby and related day’s events. It worked really well for our family and our nanny loved it. Friends of mine would see the log and ask for a copy. Before I knew it, I was faxing it, mailing it and emailing it. Our nanny was passing it on to her nanny friends at the park! Now the agency through which we got our nanny will be providing the log to their families and candidates. www. babyslog.com
