It’s that time again…the five posts I discovered this week that I enjoyed and added value to my life.  Click and enjoy!  Favorite #1 — The Law of Attraction is big these days, and I can definitely subscribe to some of the tenets.  Nevertheless, I can’t help but to know that the proverb that the principle most [...]

Since I’ve begun blogging I’ve been hearing alot about the Law of Attraction.  And Oprah featured the movie “The Secret” today (2/8/07) on her show, featuring the Law of Attraction.  According to this principle (from Oprah.com), “…we create our own circumstances by the choices we make in life.

It was time for my daughter to go night-night.  I love to read to her, and she loves books, so when it’s getting past her bedtime, I tell her, “You can choose one book.”  So she chose one of my favorites, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  Because it’s one of my favorites, I said, “Good choice, A.!”  She [...]

Here they are…Enjoy!  One of the best things about doing a weekly favorites post is that you get to read posts that you would have loved to write yourself, but didn’t have the time to get to.  This week, the paparazzi took a picture of Tyra Banks in a bathing suit looking a little heavier than she did when she was [...]
