An Opportunity for You

Occasionally I will have those I
hypnotize want me to "encourage"
them to be the generous, giving,
loving people they are.

When they act upon my suggestion,
and then tell me about it, I love
hearing about what they did and
how it affected another person,
or other people.

I got to thinking today that the
world is a better place one kind
act at a time. If your world is
a better place, then mine is, too.

For that reason, I'd like to try
something, and see if I might be
able to create more opportunities
for those who want to make a
difference in their world.

I am going to offer anyone who is
a caller of mine one free file
a month in exchange for one good
deed done for a stranger.

It has to be something "personal"
in nature, not just writing a check
for charity. While those are helpful
and - I am sure - appreciated, I am
looking for something with a bit
more of a personal connection with
another.

The date that the monthly cycle
will end on is the 8th of each
month. So if you would like to
take advantage of this offer, I
request that you comment in this
blog about your experience by
that date each month.

I find that people often benefit
from the experience of others, and
that is why I would like for you
to share. You can feel free to
alter anything that might seem
overly personal or that might
give away your privacy.

I ask that you sign your comment
with your NF name (or let me know
ahead of time what name you will
use). If you aren't a NF customer,
then make sure I know who you are
when you do sign. Then email me
privately and let me know which
file you would like for your good
deed.

I am going to limit it to one file
per month, however feel free to
let your generous spirit move you
as often as you may feel inspired. :)

Anyone who does something consistently
for 6 consecutive months will receive
an extra something special from me.

I am sure I will be working out more
details as time goes by, and perhaps
editing the details...but ya gotta
start somewhere, you know?

Anyone who has any ideas or suggestions
of things that can be done, feel free
to comment below to inspire others.

To get you started thinking about this,
I'll tell you about one of the things
that was done once.

The person doing the good deed paid
for the groceries of the person behind
him in line. He then suggested that
that person - in turn - do the same.

Somewhere I have what he said his
experience was, and should I come
across it again, I will share it.
One thing I remember was that he was
slightly reluctant to act, at first.
But when he did, he said he felt
pretty great about it.

This is not to break anyone's wallet
or create any problems or hardships.
What you do can be as simple as
offering to mow the grass or shoveling
snow of an elderly neighbor.

I know I said an act of kindness for
a stranger, however, if you find yourself
able to help another in need, and wouldn't
normally extend yourself, I'll let you
use that experience to receive your
free file.

I also suggest that you consider the
idea of "paying it forward" when helping
the person...asking them to help another
when an opportunity presents itself, as
a way of keeping the good energy going.

Of course there is no way for me to
validate what you do, so this is on
the honor system, and also why it is
also only extended to those who are
my callers (in addition to the fact
that most of my files are for those
who have previously been hypnotized
by me).

If you have any questions, feel free
to ask. I am also looking for a name
for this endeavor. If you have any
suggestions/ideas, please let me know!

Some people just don't get me...

It has been raining like crazy the last
several days. It probably rained more
in one day than it did in all of 2007.

I was out earlier, and it was pouring.
I went to buy something, and I asked
the person I was paying, "Have your
ticket for the Ark, yet?"

It landed flat.

*Sigh*
Oh well.
LOL
 

Loving the Moment | Link

When love speaks...people take notice.

I heard of this story the first time
today, and thought about how when we
truly connect with another, the
superficial pieces and parts don't
seem to matter as much as people
might think they would/should.

There is something to be learned from
situations like these, not the least
of which is to appreciate the beauty
and love within the moment. No one
knows how many moments we will have,
and one moment fully lived is likely
to be more fulfilling than the
accumulation of a lifetime of moments
that aren't.

If you'd like to read what I am referring
to click here for the touching story.

Here's to the love of life and the
incredible opportunity within each of
its precious moments.

Squirrel: Mission Possible | Video

Apparently this squirrel was tantalized
by nuts in each one of the sections
that was built after the squirrel
learned the previous ones.

It took 2 weeks to get to what you will
see below. Interesting ways people
entertain themselves, and then us, LOL.


It is interesting to note that humans
aren't much different. Give them a
little incentive and watch them reach
farther and farther to get the reward.

Bet the squirrel didn't know about the
masterplan, or even care about anything
but the nuts...and bet you often don't
notice much of what's happening either
when nuts are tantalizing you.

(Sorry, I know it's bad...LOL...but also
somewhat appropriate, don't you think?)
 

A Year Ago Today...

One of the comments
left by a caller was

"Treat yourself to a
Christmas present call
Isis!! You will be glad
you did!!!"
- MarylandMan44

Sounds like good advice,
even a year later.

I'm betting you WILL
be MORE than glad you did.

This song is about something different
than what the video may imply.

However...
both are beautiful.
See what you think.

Real or Fake? | Site

I just saw an article in the New York Times
about Christmas trees. It seems to make
the case that real trees in many cases are
the best option when being "green."

I find it interesting to consider the things
we are told. The article mentions how some
would say that a fake tree is better for the
environment because it is saving a real tree,
and it could be a convincing argument, except
for the fact that fake trees take energy to
make and have not so good chemicals in them.

I would imagine it is difficult sometimes to
know what the best or right thing is to do,
however I find that the farther away something
is from "natural," (as in what came into being
without us messing with it) the less likely it
would seem to be a good thing, in many cases.
I'd like to say all, but have no way of knowing
if that would be accurate, so I can only
speculate based on the things that are presented.

Of course, arguments can be made for almost
anything, but I do wonder why (beyond money)
we'd want to argue for something that even
remotely seems to be harmful.

The above article reminds me of the website
StoryofStuff.com. Have you ever seen it?
If you have the time, check it out. It'll
give ya something to nibble on.
