Thanks Al, I must've had a local ...mean gits if not! I'm not sure...my third op was with an epidural, complete paralysis for many hours of the lower half.
Now that was an interesting experience!

Meanwhile:
I have already started having success with this experiment, but will reveal the results when some fruits arrive. But so far wheels are turning!

Talking of wheels...

Maybe my thread here was me giving myself a visual kick up the arse to make something happen for myself. I've been like a hamster in a wheel these last few months literally running like the clappers but not actually getting anywhere!

Leah...

Good for you!

One thing I have learned (fortunately, as I have a tendancy toward impatience) is to "trust the process" ... trust that, as long as you're doing "what it takes", you have set the process in motion, even if you can't see any results, yet ... and things will happen.

If you want an analogy ... think of an old steam engine. You've filled the boiler ... you've built up a great, roaring inferno beneath it ... and now, as far as you can tell, nothing is happening.

But the process IS in motion.

The water has to heat ... steam must be produced and allowed to build to a sufficient 'head' ... and THEN you will see the results, as that pressure, applied to the machinery of the engine, finally starts to turn the wheels.

If, instead, you decide that you're just wasting fuel ... wasting your time ... that nothing good will come of your efforts ... and you stop stoking that fire...

The whole process will come to a halt ... before it has had a chance to produce the desired result.

If you've not read Wattles, yet, do so. (A gentle recommendation, only.)

And "trust the process".

PS - Oh ... and the occasional "kick in the arse" helps, too.

OHHHHhhhhhhhyeah...

Heh, heh ... you nailed it there, Mr.S!

Among other things ... that's the best way to "prove" that "Attraction" doesn't work. Don't actually DO anything to "attract".

(It's been a long time since I read it ... but I believe there's some biblical passage that refers to prayer without deeds or action or some such. I dunno ... but the point is well made.)

Wattles applies the "equal and opposite reaction" law of physics ... saying that, if you imagine a line or "path" (established by "visualisation" and strengthened through emotion), between you and your goal or target ... your movement toward the goal sets up an "equal and opposite" movement of IT toward YOU, along the path.

All parts of the recipe are equally vital, though ... leave out one ingredient and things ain't gonna turn out like you expected.

So, yeah ... I love the 'toon!

Subtle, lol, I am honoured!! I've been waiting for a cartoon. No one is anyone around here till they get their own cartoon!

By the way I am Pisceas

and that is not even all of them!
eBook creation and marketing and mailing and damn that has been one long project!! Argggggghh

Oh and I draw my own cartoons

Checking out affiliate programs I can weave into my eBooks and websites.

Trying to learn technical stuff.

Yesterday
I had a referral to a paper back publisher (fingers crossed re that)

Today
I have registered the domain name:
www.medpractice-cw.co.uk and am hence forth CW for Medical Practices in my area. I have an accountant, proof reader and company to trade under and half a sales letter written. All this I did today!

All this while looking after two kids age 4 and 5, repainting lounge and going to the local farm!

Hardly 'nothing'

The night I started the experiment the following occurred:

An associate of Helium.com emailed me about an article I sibmitted to the market place.

When reviewing my article I noticed an Ad for a publisher (not self publish but the traditional kind who cover all costs)

What are the chances ay?

Anyway as 'secret' experiment was on the go, I emailed them.

They replied to say my work was not their genre but referred me to someone else who thye felt may be interested.

Today, that traditional publisher has emailed me to say:

"It is very rare we say this but YES we are interested..."

My work is presently in their review pending reccomendations process, that will take approx a week.

SO, we still have in excess of a week to achieve the aim of this experiment!

Keep visualising Al it's blo*dy working!!

ha-ha ...

Good for you!

(Although truth be told ... I've only been visualizing for me and my son. Sorry 'bout dat, lady.)

Anyhow ... you keep it up. I figure this is like investing ... don't pay too much attention to the many little ups & downs ... just watch those long-term trends.

Cheers -
Al

I knew it and because of which this experiment might take in excess of two weeks to be realised, perhaps cost me an extra 2 days!

I jest of course.

What are you 'wishing for'?

Further update:
Book still in review stage, meanwhile I have been asked to be the European marketer for a woman who has released new eBook which apparantly sold 100 copies in it's first 4 days. So news pending re that.

The book is the 'secret experiment' though! Still 3 days to go!!
