Stop the Agony of the Affair

21st April 2007

Get back to your old self…
or someone better

Save Your Marriage…
if you really want to

“Is ‘Not Knowing’ Killing You Inside … Or Your Marriage? Are You Tired of All The Lies And Excuses? Are You Afraid That You’ll Confirm Your Suspicions? More Importantly, Will You Ever Find Happiness Again, If It Does Exist?”

I assume you are like 1,000s of others jolted by the affair, asking these questions: (Substitute the word she for he if you would like.)
•Do I throw him out?
•Or, should I let time heal?
•Will the affair stop?
•How long will it last?
•Can my marriage be saved?
•Should I talk to the other spouse?
•Will I ever be able to trust again?
•How do I get rid of my anger and ugly thoughts?
•Where did I fail?
•Will I ever forgive? Forget?
•Should I spy?
•and more…

You are not alone! There is relief! There are answers!!!

Get the book

In 5 minutes I will put on your computer screen the answers, strategies and never-before-published knowledge base you MUST have to:
Get through this faster! Gain confidence. Clear the fog of confusion and diminish the pain.

Have the crazy days, sleepless nights, absent appetite and queasy stomach fade.

Find the strength and courage you never thought you had. Exude a new power. He will notice and it will shake his world.

Know in your heart that the affair is not your fault. No more self-blame and self-loathing. (You really did your best, you know)

Know exactly why he had the affair. You will know him better than he knows himself.

In the next 6 months turn this disaster into a new opportunity.

Melt your rage and hurt into understanding and eventually compassion.

Become an expert in affairs. Outsmart him and the OP.

Be tough AND patient and understanding.

Eyeball him and he will be the first to blink.

Surprise yourself and partner with your newfound wisdom and insight.

Have a REAL chance to stop the affair.
Say the right words that shake your partner to the bone so he stops to truly consider the folly of the affair.

Don’t leave the affair to chance. Don’t wait for “time to heal.” Don’t waste time with simplistic suggestions or vague generalities. Don’t act out of desperation.

Use my 20 plus years of research, study, experience and therapeutic work with thousands of people to act with purpose and confidence, knowing EXACTLY what you need to do to break free from the affair.

Avoid the 2 HUGE Mistakes 95% People Make

Most people don’t play it smart. They react…usually in one of two ways.

They try harder…to tolerate. They swallow….hard. They wimp out and put up with all kinds of crap. (Sorry about the language, but I assume you have thought worse.) They hope time will cure and he will come to his senses.

Often they try harder by being really nice - meeting his needs; it’s called “working on the marriage.” Give him what he always said he wanted and win him back.

Doesn’t work. You prostitute your integrity…and deep down you know it.. and resent it. As well, you feel like you are competing with the OP (other person.)

If he does stop the affair and “comes back” it is out of guilt or pity and what do you really have then?

Others Go on the attack. Plead. Beg. Become righteous. Explode every so often. Threaten. Become depressed. Enlist the help of others. Use guilt. Use the children. Talk. Talk. Talk. Desperately make promises.

Doesn’t work either. You don’t have to become a basket case; it’s no fun. And if he does “come back” it’s out of coercion. Don’t you want to be wanted rather than have him feel like he must be with you because you bullied him?

A Step-by-Step Guide that That REALLY WORKS for YOUR SITUATION

Would you like a recipe, a step-by-step guide to help you break through the confusion and fear? Would you like to know the right words to say and when to say them so that they have the maximum impact? Do you want to find a way to stay connected, yet not push him away?

I have that just for you. My E-book, coming out of my 23 years of therapy private practice, gives you in-depth, proven and practical steps used effectively by hundreds of couples in the midst of marital infidelity. This e-book comes straight from the lives of those who have been there, done that. Real people, like you, trying to break free.

The Secret about the Secret

11th April 2007

There is a new message spreading across the planet like wildfire. It has been publicized recently in a video called The Secret. Teachers of this secret have recently appeared with Oprah and Larry King, giving it international exposure.

The secret brought success to historic icons like Plato, Einstein and Newton. In our time Bob Proctor, Joe Vitale, Lisa Nichols, Michael Beckwith and others attribute their impressive successes to the secret.

Have you had your share of struggles and transitions in your life If youre reading this you probably have tried to change and improve, only to stop with frustration and self-flagellation as you failed to reach your objective. So you may understand why the recent revelation of the secret has led to a surge in the field of life coaching.

What is this secret, and how can you apply it to your life

Learn the Laws of the Universe

The secret has always existed. The wisest people on the planet have been able to learn and use it.

Bob Proctor explains the secret. It is the Law of Attraction based on vibrations, You choose the vibration you live in by the ideas you are emotionally involved with. In a simple example, you have experienced this often in your life when someone elses energy either made you smile with warmth or shrink away from their negativity. This reflects a law of physics that states like attracts like.

Understand The Sabotage of Your Subconscious Mind

Dont be fooled into thinking that the secret is as simple as the power of positive thinking. On the contrary, positive thinking alone will leave you frustrated and confused when your hopes dont come to fruition. There is good reason that most of your efforts at change arent successful. It is because what you do on the conscious level doesnt bypass what is in your subconscious mind. And your subconscious mind has been programmed with limiting beliefs impressed on you repeatedly from the moment you were born.

For example, if you grew up being told that Money doesnt grow on trees, and Rich people are greedy then all your conscious efforts to make and keep money will be sabotaged by your core beliefs. The same is true for weight loss, relationships, and any other significant changes you may try to make.

Build Your Vision of an Abundant Universe

The secret explains how most people get what they dont want. By focusing or worrying about what they dont want in their lives, I dont want to be fat/ poor/ unhappy, they attract it. Unless your picture of the life you desire is positive and is imprinted with absolute clarity and captivating detail you cannot begin to work towards it. Once you have created this vision, however, the universe will move you towards it with amazing efficiency.

Using a Life Coach for Guidance and Clarity

One secret about The Secret is that you need to support yourself by surrounding yourself with others who share and uphold your vision. Teaming with a life coach is one way to be accountable, set clear goals, clarify and enhance your vision, and work through any obstacles in your way.

Another secret about The Secret is that working with the Law of Attraction is only the beginning and not a magic silver bullet. There are more laws to study and absorb.

The Secret is being touted as heralding a new era in humanity. Indeed, just think how fortunate we are to live in a time when access to the greatest minds on the planet is literally a mouse click away. Best of all, the Secret has given millions of people hope.

Join in. Start to picture the future that you desire to welcome into your life. The Laws of Attraction and Vibration are just waiting to help you create the life you have always wanted. But make sure that you have a qualified life coach to provide the proper support to create your major mindset change.

5 Reasons I love audiobooks

3rd March 2007

One of the hottest trends on the Internet these days is the downloading of audiobooks. I’ve been an audiobook fan for a long time and I have five reasons why I like them so much.

1) Audiobooks are available in many formats and thus can be heard in many ways, on many devices. After downloading, audiobooks are playable on computers, then can be burned to a disc, and can be loaded to an iPod or mp3 player.

2) The amount of books I read per week is greatly increased because the amount of time I have to sit down and read written books is very limited. Before audiobooks, I was able to squeeze in about 2 books a month. I still do read about 1 per month, but now, I add another 2-5 audiobooks that I listen to in my car or on my iPod.

3) Listening to audiobooks makes my downtime much more productive. An example is on the commute to work. Instead of listening to mindless radio, I prefer to listen to an audiobook. I work closely with my customers and I enjoy audiobooks on business and relationships. Since I started listening to the audiobooks on my commute, my productivity and bottom line have really taken off.

4) I used to do business with an avid reader who recently had a stroke. He is very happy that a friend turned him on to audiobooks. He can now still keep his mind active and can learn from books with out having to pick them up and turning the pages. His vision is also blurry so he has a hard time with words. Audiobooks are also great for the visually impaired. Rather then straining over reading small type, one only has to hit play and then can sit back and listen.

5) I no longer have to chase people down to get books back after I loan them out. We have all had this happen, you loan a friend a book and never see it again. Now it is no real loss if you don’t get back a cd that you made from your computer. Or it only takes a moment to load an audiobook to a friend’s iPod or mp3 player.

AudioBookStorePortal.com has thousands of titles of all genres. There are many categories to choose from ranging from biographies, best sellers, juvenile, old time radio, thrillers, comedies, learn a foreign language, and religious titles.

The audiobooks can come in both abridged and full length form. They do not take long to download either, anywhere from seconds to just a few minutes for the longest titles. Almost all of the titles also come with a free sample download so that you can hear the narrator before purchasing.

For all of the preceding reasons, I am confident that you will love audiobooks to if you have not already discovered them. The amount of time you free up listening to audiobooks while you commute, walk the dog, or work around the house is priceless. I encourage you to check out how easy and affordable it is to download your audiobooks today.

Traditionally, audiobooks could be purchased through catalogs or rented from the library as books on tapes. With advances in technology, they became books on CD. Now, the best place to find audiobooks is in the internet

But She Doesn’t

11th May 2006

Your mother just can’t do it ALL! She should know about administering her blog. And she does know a lot more about it than some, but today, she was poking around in the Wordpress blog interface, curious about the ‘Import’ feature on the Dashboard, and decided to try importing an RSS feed into it.

When she found a .XML file within her ‘Application Data’ folder within her ‘FeedReader’ folder that said ‘feeds.xml’, she decided to experiment with it and import that into her blog. OOOPS!!

The little Firefox ‘loading’ icon kept whirring around, and it was maybe about a minute into this process when she decided she’d better abort the mission. Guess what happened?

357 posts were made in this blog, and they were from all the presets in FeedReader from ‘Moreover’, and had nothing to do with the empowerment of women, or anything your mother particularly wants to have show up in this blog, so she went into her phpMyAdmin to have a look at the damage she had done with this little experiment, and found all the posts there, and decided to try to get rid of them.

Well, long story short, your mother doesn’t know enough about database administration to do anything that sophisticated, and she ended up deleting all the posts within this blog. DUUUHHH!!

So this is the first “post-post” she’s submitting, and she’s just going to have to start all over again. Oh well, it had only just begun anyway, and your mother has a lot of obligations because she’s signed up for every affiliate program under the sun, and these advertisers would like to see links to their products here, and of course, her readers want to find informative articles too…

Mother’s going to have to step back and re-assess everything about what this blog is supposed to be. Please feel free to comment about what you’d like to see here. She could use all the help she can get. You may need to log in to comment. Don’t worry about anyone here using your email address to send SPAM. That’s not going to happen. If you’d like to be updated on whjat’s happening here, Mother is working on her newsletter and mailing list, and once that’s up and running, she’ll be sending out a weekly email to anyone who wishes to get updates.

She has just too much to do, and we’re doing our best to help her out, but we don’t really have much of a handle on everything either.
