The Secret on Oprah
I guess the world knows that I have been recording the words most significant to my life from the Oprah Winfrey Show for going on 13 years. After digging through my old notebooks for those words, while designing and editing I Heard it on Oprah...Words of Wisdom and Inspiration for Living for BelleCora Press, I got more efficient with my afternoon archiving past-time.
Having to find those words that were inspirational to me for that book, scratched in yellowing notebooks among the grocery and to-do lists, my thoughts and ramblings, plots of short stories never written, telephone numbers with no name attached, appointments with no location noted, etc., gave me the inspiration to do it a better way. I bought a simple two-days to a page date book that I keep handy when watching Oprah. I am still sometimes caught unprepared and make notes on the edge of a carefully-folded-to-frame-the-crossword-newspaper-page. Or like yesterday, I had to jot down things I wanted to remember from Lisa Ling's report on the fishing children in Ghana on the back of the packaging for a Touch-Light from the dollar store. But this post is not intended to be a testament to my inefficiency.
When I heard that The Secret was the subject of the Oprah Winfrey Show on Thursday, I wisely, if I do say so myself, grabbed a tablet. I knew that there would be more I wanted to remember than would fit in the 4"x4" space of my Oprah Show assigned date book. I filled four pages of that tablet and felt buoyant after the show. That evening I went over the notes and realized that this was all information I already had, as I am sure many viewers did. What was significant about the show and special about the DVD is that it crystallizes all those bits of information, those different ways of expressing the Law of Attraction. For we in the instant gratification, push-button age, it compiles thought and learning in an easy to absorb caplet, a segment of time we are accustomed to sitting through to receive ideas.
Will it be easy to practice, to focus on, to remember? For some, of course; for others, probably not. Will it replace in depth spiritual study and the beloved books in your "seeking" library? No. But it will supplement and enhance them. And, I am going to focus on being grateful that there are those who took the time to share.

Talking about the Law of Attraction, I recently came across a thought-provoking free report titled "Attraction Acceleration Report" by Bob Procter on the Law of Attraction. This report is free for download from the following URL:
