Appreciation for the NOW Provides a Marketing Opportunity

Soon after my event and dinner with Mark Victor Hansen, I attracted a second amazing opportunity from the Universe. One that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people, would pay a LOT of money for, or spend a LOT of time chasing! And it easily fell right into my lap.
I've been on a journey of self-improvement and self-discovery for decades. I train about the Law of Attraction by teaching people how I transformed my life to rid myself of anxiety and fear and create a new life of inner peace, more abundance and renewed relationships.
One day, I was getting ready to go teach my Law of Attraction class. I was gathering my flipchart and computer and all of a sudden the phone rang. So I looked down at the caller id. It said Harpo, Inc.
YES!! Harpo, Oprah Winfrey's company!
I remember I had been so consistently happy, full of appreciation and joyful in all the miracles I had been creating lately. A thought passed through my mind like lightning, “Yeah, that could happen.” Another “hidden lesson” about the Law of Attraction… belief is a very powerful thing!
Belief can move mountains.
It was a producer for Oprah’s XM Radio show! She began asking me about my Law of Attraction training meetings, my experiences applying the Law of Attraction, and my Law of Attraction students. She asked if I would make myself available to be interviewed by Oprah herself. “Uh…. YES!!!!” So she called me a few days later to set up the date and time for the interview.
I was giddy. Another powerful opportunity manifested out of thin air! The day of the interview, I was excited, expectant and I just wanted to share and inspire other people with my Success Story. And before the interview, the producer of the show asked me not to mention any products or websites. “No problem!” I happily replied. Honestly, I was just happy to have the experience of being interviewed by one of my heroes!
During the interview, Oprah and I had such a great time talking about my experience applying the Law of Attraction, about finding inner peace, self-empowerment, more abundance, creating happiness and consistent joy. At the end of the interview Oprah said, “It’s so nice to talk to someone who really gets it!”
The next words out of Oprah’s mouth were, “What's the name of your website?” That’s a Serious Law of Attraction Manifestation. I was having fun, I was appreciating the experience with no expectation for what I was going to get out of it. And then, the Universe drop this great big gift into my lap. It can be that easy!
I was having fun, I was joyfully giving to others, I did want “Big Things,” but I didn’t specify exactly what. I let the Abundance come to me in any form it wanted to take… and I probably wouldn’t even have asked for something SO BIG!
