This is beautiful Penne I will be back with an absolutely stunning entrance with the most amazing beaded dress as I am. It will be dynamite. It will be fantastic. It will be. I will check back later. Right now my dress is at the tailors and I need to talk with my make up artist. My assistant is taking care of some last minute running around so the party will be just perfect.

Tu-di-lu.

Fantastic to have you partying with us again this year, Marie!! :D Here's a replay of the kickoff to last year's festivities:

Hors d'oeuvres, anyone? Eggplant (and Caviar) by Train

I walk into the party room where all of my Secret pals are eagerly anticipating our crew's arrival, and the smiles on everyone's faces reflect a shipful of Love and enthusiasm for Life, just as I had envisioned. It's hugs all around, such a thrill to finally meet again in person and hear all the latest tales of attraction, adventure and success. Each and every one of us are glowing from our experiences and travels around the world these past five years. We're the picture of perfect health and boundless energy, right in line with my ultimate goal to feel fit and fabulous forever... now that is what I know, for sure, and I can imagine all of our Master Teachers would agree!

~ Laissez les bons temps rouler (Let the good times roll, as the Cajuns like to say!)

[OOC] Today we complete the final lesson of Charles Haanel's Master Key System as part of our "Super Secret Sym" series of games here at Powerful Intentions. I was first inspired to study this work by Secret Master, Rhonda Byrne, as a complement to Wallace Wattles' Science of Getting Rich. Since that time, I have continued my studies in Divine Science as taught by my first beloved teacher, Mary Baker Eddy, and gone on to live the "dazzling reality" spoken of by Haanel in MKS ~ but there's so much more to come!

I'm looking forward to mixing and mingling with everyone who drops in tonight, and swapping success stories at this marvelous celebration of a lifetime!! The video titled "Erasing" seems so fitting as we take what appears to be darkness in our lives and change the entire picture with bold strokes of Love-n-Light from our creative imagination :D ENJOY the virtual buffet of culinary delights and let the PARTY begin!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Gratitude Rocks, and so do YOU!
Your Secret Pal, Penne :o)

Luck is when opportunity meets inspired action!

I love Jack Canfield and I am currently re-reading his "The Success Principles". I was filled with so much happiness due to the 5-year party thing that I seriously want to throw one in the future.

WOOHOO, SARA!!! You are an absolute knockout in that gorgeous silk gown ~ the color is perfect and the beadwork, simply exquisite! The one I'm wearing is an original by Nikol and Company, who also designed the costumes for our television miniseries, "Wish You Were Here." The series was co-written and produced by our oldest sons, directed by Stephen Spielberg in collaboration with George Lucas and Ron Howard, and swept the Emmy Awards the year it debuted to worldwide acclaim. What a thrill it was for our family to work with such phenomenal talent!!! We're currently consulting with John Lasseter on an innovative new project for Disney-Pixar.

Sara, you know I've been watching your own amazing story unfold all these years, but it's fantastic to hear you tell it again! I remember hosting that wonderful dinner party with Trump, Gates, and Branson ~ Oprah, Ellen and Warren Buffett were there, too, amongst longtime friends and supporters of the CO-OP like you. Our son, Vince, had just become the youngest test pilot for Virgin Galactic, while they were working in partnership with NASA to develop the new hypersonic spacecraft. Now he flies regular missions to the Space Stations and Mars, exploring strange new worlds and living the dream.

I'm so glad we could all be together again for this Super magical night!

I remember Sara R from the original posts. I wasn't at the party last year, but I had received a book from a friend in March called "The Success Principles" and I'm re-reading it a second time :).

I enjoyed Jack's online eCoaching program based on TSP, too! So, what is that fantabulous outfit you've picked out for this special occasion? ;-) I can't wait to hear all about your many amazing experiences over the past five years :D Here's another post from last year's thread by our pal, Laura Massebo (I couldn't locate Laura by her old PI username, lauram1977, so if anyone knows her new moniker -- please pass it on so we can catch up with her again!):

Well, I have to say that the past 5 years have been absolutely amazing. And to come here and see everybody again, hearing all of your success stories is a real boost. Everybody seems to have achieved everything they wanted and is so blissfully happy. As am I.

Since I last had the chance to catch up with anyone here, my partner, Chris, finally proposed to me and, after an absolutely fabulous wedding, which I managed to organise almost single handedly, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary earlier this year and are still going strong. Not to mention that some of our guests were so amazed with the whole day, they asked me to help organise a few weddings that they were involved with..

Of course, I was happy to do it, just for the buzz of being able to help and seeing everyone happy with the outcome, but people were happy to pay me a reasonable fee for my services. I eventually had to sell up my shop, The Crystal Cauldron, which hadn't been going for long but was already incredibly popular amongst people in the area, just so that I could devote more time to wedding planning. Sure it can get a little stressful at times, but I recorded a meditation cd for my own wedding, which I used to calm myself down whenever things were getting too stressful for me and I've since had to develop a small range for the bride to be. It's brilliant, I get to travel all over the world, helping to organise weddings for people and I get to spend a lot of time doing something that I love, as well as getting lots of time with my husband and daughter.

In fact, I've just been offered a 2.4 million pound contract to help organise an on-screen wedding for a Spielberg film which means I get to work with some really big stars. And my little girl Jodi has also been asked to star in the film as a flower girl in the wedding scenes.

It means we'll be in Hong Kong for the Chinese New Year this year, followed by a trip around Japan. And then, as soon as that's finished, I've been requested to personally versee the organisation of Prince William's wedding. How exciting. Luckily I now have quite a busy little team of assistants who are fairly capable of runnng the business while I'm away. Am thinking about hanging up the gloves and becoming more of a silent partner after that. I have more than enough to retire on, now, and I've been able to help out my family so that my parents, my grandparents and all my brother and sister have all been taken care of (ok, so my sister has always been pretty successful on her own, but it's still nice to feel that I've been able to give something back)

And I've always got time, no matter how busy I am, to spend a little time with friends and family. And I'm always happy to help out with friends' weddings, if they want a little help or advice.

YAY, Laura made it to the party!!! I'm so pleased you found some time to come by -- I know everyone in town wanted you to be at their soirée, too!! You look stunning tonight -- I have to call the family over to say hello to everyone! C'mon, Sara *Group Hug*

I'm super excited to hear how splendidly the business is growing, and especially thankful that our agent introduced us to Jodi last year :D Bridget is really hoping she'll be available to join the ARDkids in our new Pixar project, once Steven's latest film is completed. They've had such a great time hanging out at the Disney studios with our oldest daughter, Nike, as she puts her artistic skills to work in one of her Top Ten dream jobs of all time!

Michael Buble - Everything @ Yahoo! Video

Michael Bublé returns for a repeat performance with Whoopi, Bono, and some of the folks from his original open casting call vid, Everything. They helped us kick off our first official Open Mike Night at the Toronto Centre years ago, and what a kick it was!! Ever since that memorable event, we've gone on to discover a wealth of talent just waiting for the opportunity to strut their stuff!

Every day is buzzing with activity at the CO-OPs sprouting up in communities all over the world, from weekly Master Mind and SGR Club meetings in the back conference room to impromptu jam sessions on stage to guest artists demonstrating their creativity in a myriad of ways. Young entrepreneurs plan exciting joint ventures together, and everyone pitches in to help keep things running smoothly day and night. It really is a Wonderful Life!

Wow Penne I feel the energy. How amazing and dazzling. Wow ask and the Universe delivers. I was thinking yesterday who was your teacher you mentioned and here it is. I have some time to read in between semesters so I will be checking Mary Baker Edy out. I will also be reading more of Wattles' and Haanel. I am so excited to dive into these golden opportunities once again.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!!

Oh, yes, it was Wattles' influence on Rhonda's development of The Secret that first led me to study the Science of Getting Rich (both this and Haanel's workbook are available for free download on TheSecret.tv,) and then to join the SGR Club with Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield, and Michael Beckwith when it first debuted last spring. I also took up the study of The Success Principles with Canfield's online e-coaching program this past fall, and will be using elements of all of these materials in our 12-Step Master Mind Alliance Study Group starting on Monday (see link in signature below; open to Thinkers of All Ages!)


Sarah McLachlan and Cyndi Lauper perform "Time After Time" as we bring in a Brand New Year and a Brand New You & Me!
I'm having so much fun that I want the party to last forever! Since the CO-OP burst onto the world scene five years ago, our family has been blessed to be in the presence of so many incredible people making a difference with their lives. Everywhere we go, we're greeted with genuine warmth and enthusiasm for our chosen lifework.

It's proven to be even more of a JOY than I could have ever imagined (and I can imagine a LOT! ;-) working in cooperation with the Living Masters to bring The Secret to All who are eager to hear its message of Love, hope, and abundance.

A most wonderful honor came recently in validation of our efforts when we met with President Paul and his family to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom for advances in three separate categories: Health & Wellness, Education, and Social Sciences. Together we are indeed sweeping the world off its feet!

"What is time? The shadow on the dial, the striking of the clock, the running of the sand, day and night, summer and winter, months, years, centuries-these are but arbitrary and outward signs, the measure of Time, not Time itself. Time is the Life of the soul."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

[OOC] One small, but important, correction for the record. It's Steven (not Stephen) Spielberg who directed our action-packed miniseries based on real-life experiences and the power of the Universe to turn it all around. Little things do make a BIG difference! ;-) HAND-pda

I can't believe what it is 2013!

Let me tell you what happened in 2009,
I was able to let go of the excess in my beautiful body, and my true HOt healhty self emerged!
From working out, I toned up as well, I love my flat toned tummy and slender toned arms! I felt and feel now, so comfortable! I look great in anything! :)
I quit my job then, and made more time to for me to accomplish so many goals.
I made at least 2 documentaries, and was in several other ones, and 'artsy' films
From my book being promoted from dear Oprah, and by other shows, that lead me to meeting some great people.

I also contibuted singficantly to a local place that brought music, arts, creativity to children and the community with a dear friend... I am so blessed to have met her and help her out with her project, cause that is such a match to what I wanted to do for years
I was able to take my experiences and materials that cascascaded my house and bring it there, and that was such a blessing, it can bring tears to my eyes! It seemed like I was suppose to be there, cause I was not happy at my job
but I could still use what I know in an environment that was more of a match to me, so good, I loved -09
I later quit my job, and was able to work on other projects that I have wanted to do for years
The money came, and came and continues...........
I got to go to my graduation commencement thing in NJ, and from there I stayed in NYC for a good month!
With all the money I had at that time, I knew it was such a gift, so I stayed at some really nice NYC hotels
and took dance classes, because dancing brings me such incredible joy!
I was able to volunteer in NYc, and take the whole experience in. I even stayed for the Thanksgiving Parade
something that was on my list to see in person. I could watch it outside my hotel window,as well.
More later on the following years...............

WAY TO GO, Maya!! Isn't it exciting to get together again and share the excitement of these past five wonderful years??!! Here's more from last year's festivities:

Original photo by rollerboogie
Some rights reserved.

Gratitude is the heart's memory. ~French Proverb

Party favors!! As a special Thank You for playing a role in this New Year to remember, all of our guests are being surprised with small brocade bags containing Gratitude lotus seed malas from Tibetan Treasures, replicas of Lee Brower's original Gratitude rock with the image of a butterfly in flight, and Reflection of Perfection reminder bands, courtesy of The Secret Garden Club. FUN!!!

Sixpence None the Richer ~ Breathe Your Name
After her beautiful song, Leigh Nash tells everyone the great story of how she explained the band's name to David Letterman when she first appeared on the "Late Show" years ago. "It comes from a book by C. S. Lewis called Mere Christianity," she says. "A little boy asks his father if he can get a sixpence -- a very small amount of English currency -- to go and get a gift for his father. The father gladly accepts the gift and he's really happy with it, but he also realizes that he's not any richer for the transaction."

"He bought his own gift," Letterman pipes up from the back of the room ;-) "That's right," Nash continues. "C.S. Lewis was comparing that to his belief that God has given him, and us, the gifts that we possess, and to serve Him the way we should, we should do it humbly, realizing how we got the gifts in the first place." "Well, that's just as moving now as it was the first time you told it to me," Letterman stammers, with uncharacteristic earnestness. "If we could just keep that little sliver of enlightenment with us, things would be so much better!"

This Note from the Universe popped up on my Intro page at PI this week:

It's the thirst for approval,
validation and justification,
from sources outside of yourself,
that blinds you to the fact that
they need not be earned.
When the kids saw that I planned to bring some of our awards to the party, they were concerned that it would look like our family is more interested in the glory than the work. Of course, Jack invited everyone to bring along "Show and Tell" items to share with other guests, so I wanted to help make this party a success and trusted it wouldn't come across as superficial. Speaking of "props," that happened to be my favorite crew when I was majoring in Theatre & Dance back in college, and still is now that we're producing our own mini Broadway shows at the CO-OP. It's all about HAVIN' FUN and FEELIN' GOOD!!!

One of my Online Business Alliance colleagues uses this insight by psychologist & author, William James, in his forum signature: "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." I think that pretty much says it all. And my favorite quote-of-the-year (this one popped up on my Franklin-Covey planner the day of the party!) by Louis Armstrong, "What we play is life!"
