From Meryl Ann aka Merlyn: Myla jumping for joy!



Myla in the vortex!  She was VERY happy to get her own little kiddy kitchen, a fabulous bargain scarfed up from
CraigsList by her savvy Gramma Mimi. She jumped so high and so long that her barrettes fell out!

From Tony: Andy, CMT

    My dear friend, Andy the parrot loves to massage our cats! This is a pic of him massaging Miss Puss.
    He will climb down from his condo (cage), walk over to one of the cats, climb up and start kneading their fur. When he is done he nips an ear, the cat takes off and he goes home.
    The cats always seem rather shocked by the whole affair, but once he starts, they enjoy his efforts. That's why he waits till they are sleeping before he climbs on for some shiatsu.
    He loves cats. He calls them by name. Miss Puss usually comes when he calls her, she is his favorite. Love, Tony

From Tony: Quincy!


From Tony: Quincy

I have always had a special place in my heart for squirrels.

Our Syb has squirrels who she feeds peanuts too. When she told me that, I thought, I would so love to have a squirrel buddy.

One of the reasons I love our home is that there are lots of squirrels.So over time, a squirrel I named Quincy would come on the balcony and look at me through the window. I started by putting nuts outside the door and he would come every day to eat.

Then as we got used to each other he would come in and get nuts inside the door. Then he chewed a handy opening in the screen and started coming in and taking nuts from my hands.

Now he is so comfortable that he sits on the arms of the chairs and even our laps. We leave a bag of peanuts on the kitchen counter, and he scampers up and gets one. Just today he started burying nuts in the blanket on the couch.

This is such a gift and a delight for me! My life is always listening to my lightly held desires, and making them manifest! Love, Tony

From Tara: Magazine cover men.

Ahhh awareness…the more aware I become, the more I see Law of Attraction is always working.
There really is no escaping it.
One of my favorite affirmations is… “I do everything with the power of FOCUS, the Universe will not give me a partial payment”.  Sometimes, without even asking, the things we focus on show up, effortlessly, into our lives. Here are two examples…
I had a personal training client at The Malibu Gym on Tuesday.  On my way out the door, I stopped to look at all the latest local publications…magazines/newspapers.
It’s something I always do.  On this particular day, I zoned in on the cover of the LA Sports & Fitness magazine. There was a man who looked familiar…I wondered if he was someone I knew or maybe a celebrity.
For some reason I really focused in on his face, then his body, then back to his face. How did I know him, or did I?
I stood there for a good 2 or 3 minutes studying the cover.   Finally, I grabbed the magazine, went to my car and headed home.  Always on my way home, I stop at The Vitamin Barn where I get my organic green juice for the day.
As I walked through the parking lot I noticed a couple of guys getting out of a classic Jeep.  It just looked really cool and FUN so I asked what year it was and we kept talking while we walked into The Vitamin barn together.  They asked if I was a runner.
They are big time marathon runners and they shared a social networking website with me that they had recently started.  They said, “check it out, we’ll go out on a training run together and if you don’t want to run, you can just sit on the beach and watch us run by”.
We introduced ourselves, exchanged names and went on our way.
Later when I went home, I went to www.foreverrunner.com and realized I just didn’t want to go through another social networking web-site set up, I looked for Blue’s last name and looked him up on Facebook.  He was there. 
When I looked through his photos, I noticed a familiar photo; it was the photo I had seen on the cover of that magazine a few hours earlier. 
There he was!  I thought that was pretty cool…. I had just looked at his picture and met him 10 minutes later.
Okay, that was cool, now brace yourself…
On Friday, as I left the gym, I stopped by the door again to see what was new. 
This time I zoned in on The Malibu Times Magazine. 
On the cover was Reggie Miller (the famous retired basketball player of The Indiana Pacers).
I really zoned in on it and looked into his eyes…he has some amazing eyes.  He really is a beautiful man to look at.   I looked a little longer then grabbed it, threw it in my car and went on my way.  Of course, as always, I stopped at The Vitamin Barn for my organic green juice.
As I walked in, I noticed ReggieMiller walking in before me…everyone was greeting him as if he was a  regular there.
At this point, though, I had forgotten that I just studied his picture on the cover of the magazine.  He obviously went there regularly…Carlos (behind the counter) lined up all his wellness shots for him without him saying a word.  Some of us around the bar exchanged some small talk and I was on my way.
As I walked out the door, it dawned on me, that for two days in a row now, I had zoned in on the cover photo and manifested that person at The Vitamin Barn.  How’s that for the Law of Attraction?
In the movie, The Secret, Bob Doyle says… “Try it on something small and see if you can make it work on something small.”
I guess this would be an example of Law of Attraction.  It’s not like I said I wanted to meet them, but my vibration really tuned into their photos with an intense focus and feeling, then poof, there they were!
I love the law of attraction and how it works time and time again.  It usually sneaks up from the side or behind and reminds you it is at work and most of the time, we don’t even see it or recognize it.  It just works so effortlessly that most of the time we don’t take credit for it. 
I challenge you to BE AWARE and when you least expect it, it will reveal its magnificence!    Until then…enjoy the process!
