Get Life-Changing Feng Shui Secrets Free in this 6-Day Course

2013-04-23T12:37:00.003-07:00

Learn the life-changing secrets of "Feng Shui"in the FREE 6-day Diamond Feng Shui Fest online beginning April 29

Dear Bliss Seekers,

Feng Shui is more than good interior design and having space that "feels" good. When done right it can be one of the most powerful personal development tools ever.

Beginning April 29, Feng Shui master Marie Diamond will tell you exactly how to use Feng Shui in your home to:

Attract more rewards for your talents and accomplishments
Reduce drama, conflict, and stress in your home and workplace
Learn and remember anything easily
Have more friends and better relationships
Let go of what is keeping you stuck
Heal quicker from illness and injuries

Yes, good Feng Shui can result in all of this! And that's just a taste of what you will learn in this free online event.

How can moving your sofa make you more money?

Chinese emperors had access to sacred knowledge about how surroundings affect energy—for better or for worse.

They knew how to attract positive energy and how to deflect negative energy. For thousands of years they used it for long life, to control their empire, and to build supreme wealth.

They called this knowledge Feng Shui, and to them it was mystical. But today Feng Shui can be explained through a field of science called quantum physics.

By making specific changes in your environment, you make changes in the energy that surrounds you, and this can have a massive impact on your life. Here's what Marie Diamond's students have experienced:

"Promoted to Senior Vice President with a 25% increase in pay."

"Immediately we became lovey-dovey again."

"My net worth doubled in nine months."

"Within a day the first call for an audition came in."

"An unexpected gift of $50,000 came."

"Immediately the pain subsided and has now gone away completely."

"In just ten months my personal income increased by more than 1100%. I did nothing differently but implement Diamond Feng Shui techniques."

If you've tried everything to change your life,but nothing happens, maybe you're living with bad Feng Shui

Your misfortune—or lack of fortune—may be due to the energy of your environment. Moving into a new home or switching jobs is not the solution. Bad Feng Shui is likely to follow you around until you take action to change it.

During the six days of the Diamond Feng Shui Fest you will be able to check the Feng Shui of your home and workplace and make the changes that give you Feng Shui that can positively change your life forever.

For the first time ever, you can learn Marie Diamond'spowerful Feng Shui techniques FREE in the brand new Diamond Feng Shui Fest

Thanks to the generosity of Marie Diamond there is absolutely no charge or obligation to study Diamond Feng Shui during the six days beginning April 29. To get your free pass to these sessions click here:

Feel free to pass this info onto your friends. Let's give everyone a chance to get more from life through good Feng Shui.

For your balance, harmony, and good fortune, Angela Atkinson, Project Blissful

A St. Louis police officer was charged with domestic assault and resisting arrest after he assaulted his relatively new boyfriend, police told the Post-Dispatch.

Schanz was off-duty when he allegedly argued with the victim, 25, before returning to their home together.

Rachael Ray Advocates Fasting Two Days a Week on 'Fast Diet'

2013-03-26T11:19:00.001-07:00

By Angela Atkinson

I happened to catch an episode of Rachael Ray earlier that features something called The Fast Diet. I didn't realize it, but Rachael often features different diets.

While there are several specifics to consider, the bottom line is that you eat your normal diet five days a week, and you fast (by eating 500 calories or less) two non-consecutive days per week.

I don't do this exactly, but I do a modified version. I eat healthy most days, but if I have a day where I overindulge, I will often find myself restricting my calories a bit for the next day or so--but I eat more than 500 calories. I tend to stick within the 800 to 1200 calorie range.

Then again, I eat healthy foods about 80 percent of the time--and when I do indulge in sweets or heavy foods, I tend to only have a small amount because I don't restrict myself from having any food, ever.

I just don't eat anything I don't want--and only exactly what I do. While this practice can be annoying to my husband (love you, honey!), I find that it works perfectly for me--I never feel deprived. And I rarely overdo it.

(Pssst...and when I do overdo it, I don't beat myself up, not one bit! I just get right back on track. That's one of my secrets of success!)

Anyway, I'm sharing the video and show info below and I'd love to know your thoughts about it, if you've got a chance to watch! Here you go. :)Click to view---Rachael Ray Show Diets: The Fast Diet (Video)

It Works Whether You Like It or Not: Skeptic's Guide to the Law of Attraction

2013-03-25T20:36:00.001-07:00

“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.” ~Henry Ford
Skeptics will tell you that the law of attraction is just a bunch of hocus-pocus.
Some will even claim to have tested the law, and they’ll tell you that it just doesn’t work–even though many quantum physicists, philosophers and teachers say otherwise.

Law of Attraction for Skeptics : The Case of Ben

Consider the case of Ben, the 32 year old single man who claims that he desperately wants to get married.

He says he’s always looking for Miss Right, and that every time he thinks he’s found her, something prevents the relationship from continuing–one or the other finds a reason it can’t work.
Ben believes that if the law of attraction worked, he’d already be married with a couple of mini-Bens running around. So, he figures it’s all a lie–he’s not getting what he wants.

Get Skinny Arms: Free Workout Videos

2013-03-21T13:11:00.001-07:00

Whether you’re doing it to be healthier or you’re doing it to be hotter (or both, like me), I invite you to join me in adding in a special daily workout (just a few minutes a day will do!) designed to tone up flabby arms.

Since I’m frugal, I’ve collected a few free workout videos, each of which features exercises to tone up flabby arms.

Pick one (or more) and give it a shot! Then, let me know what you think, in the comments section, below!

Optional Bonus Fit Mission: Tone Up Flabby Arms With Body Wraps

I love the It Works body wraps–they have even drastically improved the look of my flabby “c-section belly.” (See photo below–that’s the same pair of jeans in each one!)

With that being said, in addition to my exercise and diet efforts, I’ll be adding It Works body wraps to my arm regimen. I’ll keep you posted!

You Don't Have to Kill Yourself to Lose Weight: Try This Instead

2013-03-21T09:36:00.001-07:00

If you fall off track with your weight loss plan and find yourself backsliding into old, unhealthy habits, your first instinct might be to belittle yourself, beat yourself up, even to punish yourself.

Forgive Yourself First

One woman I know will literally starve herself for 24 hours for each “slip-up” she has on her plan to exercise and lose weight.

For example, at a birthday party, she indulged in a tiny piece of cake.

The next day, she worked out for 3 hours and refused to eat a thing.

The problem with this kind of behavior is twofold–besides being completely unhealthy and slowing down your metabolism, it’s not a lifestyle that can be continued forever without serious consequences.
Rather than beat yourself up, just forgive yourself, love yourself that much more, and move forward on your plan.

Food is Not Entertainment, People.

2013-03-14T08:12:00.001-07:00

By Amy Lippman, Certified Holistic Health Counselor

When you think about feeding yourself, you likely think about breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Of course these meals are important, but I actually believe that what is equally important is how you feed or nourish yourself with things other than food.

In our society, we look to food to fill many needs such as entertainment, companionship, relaxation, and celebration.

Do you find that you grab a bag of chips to entertain you at night? Do you use chocolate to help you relax? How about ordering a pizza and a pint of ice cream for some companionship?

Trust me, you’re not alone. This is a major area in which my clients come to me for support. Working on this often involves changing habits we’ve had for most of our life, so it’s not always an easy thing to do.

How to Get in Shape Without Killing Yourself in the Process

2013-03-12T07:54:00.001-07:00

We know we need to exercise, and we know how to exercise. We figure out when to put it in our schedule, we set a date to start–we even put new, upbeat music on our iPods–and on the first day, we’re gung ho, sweating our butts off on the treadmill.

A week later, things aren’t running so smoothly. We have found excuse after excuse to put off our workout, and now we haven’t worked out in 3 days.

What next?

Here’s the trick to getting through those little regressions, whether for an exercise program or any other goal in your life–it’s more simple than you might think.

First, stop beating yourself up when you slip. And second, get back on track RIGHT NOW–not tomorrow, not Monday, not next week. Right this very instant.

If that means you get up off your butt and work out at 8:00 pm in order to get back on track, then do it, even if it feels really hard.

You will be glad you did–and each time you step back on the treadmill or into the gym, it will get a little easier.

The same is true of any personal goal.

Going off-plan every now and then doesn’t have to mean the end of your efforts. Just consider it more like a brief detour and jump right back on track.

Facebook Exec: Women Can Have It All

2013-03-11T05:58:00.001-07:00

Do you think women these days can really "have it all?"

According to a recent report from USA Today, women make up more than half of the population of the United States and they’re nearly half of the workforce. But women only make up four percent of CEOs and 17 percent of board members—and they only earn about 77 cents for every dollar men make.

"Almost no one understands that women have made no progress at the top in 10 years — that is true of any industry and government," Sheryl Sandberg told USA Today. "I want to change the conversation from what (women) can't do to what we can do."

Sandberg, who helped build Facebook to the multibillion-dollar company it is today, is looking to build a new women’s movement.

Has Stardom Become Too Much for Justin Bieber?

2013-03-11T05:11:00.004-07:00

After hearing about Justin Bieber's erratic behavior lately, including cancelling his concerts (and even showing up two hours late to one), you've got to wonder if he's on drugs. He just cancelled another concert in Portugal after having a troubled European tour, according to NY Daily News.

Some have suggested that Selena Gomez dissed Bieber with the recent release of 'Everybody Knows.'

Perez Hilton said. "Thankfully it isn’t because of his health, however, it’s rumored that the cancellations were due to low ticket sales."

Did This Baby Help Researchers Discover a Cure for HIV?

2013-03-10T22:15:00.001-07:00

A baby girl who was born with HIV has been cured after very early treatment with standard drug therapy, US researchers have said, in a potentially ground-breaking case that could offer insights on how to eradicate HIV infection in its youngest victims.
The child's story is the first account of an infant achieving a so-called functional cure, a rare event in which a person achieves remission without the need for drugs and standard blood tests show no signs that the virus is making copies of itself.

It was a stupid injury. I drove a truck (18-wheeler) with a tight clutch all night. Limped for about a week.

Two days before I was going to see my doctor, I was getting back into the truck when the door slowly drifted closed. My left foot big toe brushed the door and turned my sore leg. POP!

Write it, live it: Six tips to help kids live out their story

2013-03-09T09:33:00.001-08:00

By Dr. Anthony Raimondo

We all aim to have well-rounded kids who possess vision and purpose.

While all children have varying levels of strengths, talents and interests, what’s most important is that they discover what their passion is.

The most effective way we can help them with this is by having them write their own life story—ahead of time.

By considering interests to be the same as a theme in a book, children are able to construct a plot that will allow them to achieve their dreams.

Same Size Jeans, Two Different Bodies
As you can see, these two are shaped completely differently (and they’re both wearing jeans styles that work best for their bodies–two totally different looks.)

The differences between them?

The brunette is about 5 inches taller than the blonde (who was wearing platform shoes in the photo) and has longer, thinner legs–while the blonde has a smaller waist but a fuller butt and shorter legs.

Plus, the blonde weighs approximately 15 pounds more than the brunette.

You may choose to track your progress any way you like, but I suggest you consider tracking what you eat and how much you weigh at the very least.

Tips: Tracking Your Way to Success

Weight and Size Tracking: Whether you choose weighing in, measuring or trying on that favorite pair of jeans once a week to track your weight as the challenge goes on, try to only do it weekly. Weighing too often can distract you from your ultimate goal. Focus instead on learning to get in touch with your body and to recognize its signals.

Being Fat is Not a Part of My Personality!

2013-02-11T11:18:00.002-08:00

By Sarah Aarssen

Being fat is not part of my personality. I can lose weight, gain weight, have lipo, get implants, cut off limbs, grow a third arm and that still wouldn’t change me from the person I am now.

I will still be a witty (read: mouthy smartalek) character when I’m at my goal weight, just like I was when I was at my rock bottom weight. Being overweight doesn’t mean I am lazy. I have worked my butt off at every job I’ve ever had. I’ve never had a problem keeping up with my thinner colleagues and in most situations I could work circles around them.
