The Red Lipstick Campaign
Woo Woo THIS
On the way to the World Wellness Weekend in Austin, Texas, I met Laura Nichole, a Playboy model currently featured in a magazine called Natural Beauties.We were both lost, trying to locate the event, and found it together. As we walked, she learned I was one of the featured speakers (which caused her to go orgasmic) and I discovered she’s a Playboy model (which made my eyes dilate).
I’m on the cover of the recent edition of Austin All Natural magazine.
Here we are holding up our magazines.
Of course, Deepak and I were in different sized rooms, but still.
Newsweek covers The Secret
I’m on my way out the door to speak at the World Wellness Weekend conference. Deepak Chopra spoke last night. I’m today.
I just saw the Newsweek article about The Secret. It’s at www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17314883/site/newsweek/
It’s mainstream journalism so you know what to expect, but at least they spelled my name right.

PS – I can’t wait to tell you about the Playboy model I attracted yesterday.
The Option Method
If you read my book, Adventures Within, you know I’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to personal growth, spiritual searching and self-discovery.
One of the most powerful and transformative methods I learned along the way is called The Option Method. It’s a simple method of questioning beliefs. I learned it first-hand from Barry Neil Kaufman, author of such gems as To Love Is to Be Happy With.
Barry learned it from the creator of the method, Bruce Di Marsico. I was just given a copy of the late Di Marsico’s little book on the method, called The Option Method: Unlock Your Happiness With Five Simple Questions.
The book is very philosophical and thought-provoking. It reads more like notes from Socrates than a Ray Bradbury novel. But every nugget is mind-expanding.
The section in the back by Deborah Mendel, on how to use the Option Method questions for yourself, is worth gold. These are the very questions I still use today, sometimes naturally and automatically in consultations with clients, but more often then not just with myself, to discover and release my own limiting beliefs to experiencing happiness right now.
I urge you to read this little-known classic.
I’m sure Amazon sells it.

PS – The Newsweek magazine cover story on the movie The Secret should hit the stands any day now. I’m excited! I suspect it will probably be one-sided rather than objective, but at least a whole new audience will hear about this inspiring flick. Onwards!
Is Attraction a Law?
Besides Larry King interviewing me last November, I’m being interviewed every day by other biggies, including Time magazine, Bottomline Personal, and Newsweek.
They all want to know if the law of attraction is really a law.
They all agree that gravity is, but they aren’t so sure about attraction.
The people who say attraction is not a law cite examples such as, “I know gravity works. When I drop a book off a skyscraper, it will hit the ground. That’s proof of the law of gravity.”
Agreed.
They then go on to say, “When I try to attract something, sometimes I get it and sometimes I don’t. So it isn’t a law.”
Not agreed.
Here’s why.
Saying you tried to attract something and failed is like saying you tried to drop a book from a skyscraper to hit a particular spot and you missed. Because you missed the spot, you say gravity doesn’t exist.
This is a little like telling a parachutist that because they didn’t land on the red dot in the field, but instead landed in the trees, gravity doesn’t exist.
Obviously gravity exists. You just don’t know how to use it to get what you want in any specific way.
Same with the law of attraction.
When you focus on attracting a new car, but instead attract a moped, it isn’t because the law wasn’t in effect; it’s because you didn’t work with the law.
Everything you have is what you attracted.
You just did it unconsciously.
No biggie.
No need to feel bad or beat yourself up.
The idea now is to awaken.

PS – Newsweek is publishing a feature story on The Secret and the law of attraction next week. It should hit the stands any day. I’m eager to see what they say. Stay tuned.
