What goes around comes around... in many different forms. We sat back being very gratful and suddenly we won money, then we got an inheratance...then we got our house, everything just fell into place.. and it has not stopped...Read the book..

I'm happy for you Lesley. I still don't believe in that stuff though, I've heard it called the 'Cosmic dinnerlady' or something. My 'rent has all those motivational/positive thinking books and has tried many times to get me to read The Secret. Since '08 started we've bombed out of our family business, failed utterly at starting another, lost our dog, and suffered for over a month each trying to find jobs. Positive thought getting you rich seems to work very well for people that write books about positive thought and nobody else.

.. or maybe it was just my negative joojoo that spoiled everything for us.
