HO HO HO!
Well, here we are at the end of the year. I don't know about you but I am ready for this year to be over.
The thing with that sentiment is that there is no such thing as one year to the the next except our PERCEPTION of what a year really is.
You see, you're going to carry whatever you have been feeling, thinking, expecting and manifesting into the “new year” if you don't change the way you are today.
And that is reality; all we have is TODAY and that is what matters which is how YOU are today
at this moment.
If you don't change the way you are at this very moment, 2009 won't be any different than this year, or any other time in your life.
************************
ALL WE HAVE IS THE MOMENT
************************
So how different DO YOU want 2009 and the following years to be as opposed to how it is RIGHT NOW?
Ask yourself these questions and be honest with yourself. What DO I want for myself? How do I want MY LIFE to change and be from now on?
When you ask yourself these questions and are honest with your answers then you are going to come up with scenarios of how you see your life being.
For example, there was a time that I was on welfare. I was a single father with full custody of my children and I was tired of my monetary AND my living situation. I wanted more for my children and me and I was sick of being on county aid.
One morning I woke up having a breakdown. I went into the other room where my kids couldn't
see me and I bawled my eyes out and I just couldn't stop.
I found myself saying, “I can't go on living like this! I don't want this anymore!” Long story short, my mom suggested I call Unity Church and talk with them. I thought, “yeah right; like they can do something.”
********************
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
********************
I called the toll free number and I couldn't get through. I had given up calling when my mom kept pleading with me to call them. Finally I called the regular number and someone picked up. Wouldn't you know it . . .
I immediately started telling this person how my life sucked and how I didn't want the situation like it was anymore. The person asked me the most profound question and that was, “WHAT DO YOU WANT?”
You see, that is a direct question that has no gray area. I proceeded to tell this person that I wanted off welfare and that I wanted a really good job so I could have more and to give my children more than what they had.
So this person from Unity, almost rudely, said “OK; we'll pray for you for the next thirty days.” and just hung up. I thought, well, you don't want to know exactly what I thought but it wasn't nice, but I accepted it.
Two weeks later I got a job working at an elementary school part time, and a couple of weeks after that I got a full time job at a concert lighting company that paid a great salary with benefits for me and my kids.
I learned two things here; by focusing on what I truly wanted I got it almost immediately and I also learned that my children had all they needed already; a home, food, clothing and their dad with them giving them lots of love.
*******************************
LEARN TO MANIFEST WHAT YOU WANT
*******************************
With crystal clear focus, asking and BELIEVING, I received exactly what I needed and wanted. But I also realized I needed to be grateful for what I already had; that my children never wanted for the things in life that are important even though I wanted more for them and I struggled for them to have it.
You have to know what you want different in your life so you can manifest it exactly as you see it. If you're too general, you will change nothing!
Also you must have an attitude of gratitude to manifest what you want as well. You should look
at what you already have and be grateful for those things that are important in you life RIGHT
NOW!
****************************************
SO BE PREPARED FOR GREAT CHANGES IN 2009
****************************************
So are you ready to make changes TODAY so that 2009 becomes the banner year for you? I know you understand what I mean in this email but you need to know EXACT TECHNIQUES on how to bring those changes about within yourself.
Look, I totally believe that everybody has greatness within them and that includes YOU! It may be squelched right now, but let me put it this way: You have within you the genius to achieve all of your goals, including:
1. Complete financial security.
2. Loving relationships with your significant other, friends and family.
3. Robust health, so that you can do what you really want to do.
4. A spiritual connection to the universe.
Just for a minute, block out all of the negativity being thrown at you right now, and imagine all of that abundance in your life...
Are you with me so far? OK, now if you can create that mental vision of true wealth for yourself... and actually put yourself inside it, so that you can touch, taste, smell, and feel what it's like to live your own life of abundance... then you are more than halfway to achieving it.
If you are able to do that, and truly believe it, you may qualify for an exciting new program I've
created for you. So . . .
Watch for my post in the near future for more information.
***********************
HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAYS
***********************
So this Holiday Season, be thankful for your boyfriend/girlfriend, wife/husband, mother/father,
grandma/grandpa, son/daughter, and old friend/new friends. Oh, and pets too!
Spend time with them and enjoy the spirit of giving so that you receive in abundance.
You have no control over gas prices or what wall street does or who gets bailed out from what.
But you do have control over how you feel about what you have in your life before it gets all used up and goes away.
Remember that it isn't the amount of gifts one gives or receives but the amount of love one gives and receives and the gratitude you feel that matters.
Blessings of abundance, peace and love. I love you. Merry Christmas and a very Happy and GREAT New Year!

The Shift is NOW and Through Our Children We...
Succeed!
NO MORE WAR! PEACE ON EARTH is the battle cry of this group and UAMI's. Everybody here wishes to, wants to or will do something about it. Before I tell you what I'm personally doing, although many of you reading this are friends and already know, watch this video as it addresses the subject of peace on earth and the responsibility we have to make it so.
PRESS PLAY
As you know I created a non profit called United Arts Movement International, http://www.uami.org/ which is all about helping our young people express their emotions in a positive way and by using the language of art. We continually make this happen but I need your help and I'll tell you how in a moment.
Since art was removed from our school systems as part of the curriculum 27 or so years ago, simultaneously suicides, violence and depression amongst our teens rose dramatically and in the case of suicides, three times as much than before. I don't see this as a coincidence; they don't exist. No my friends, this is a direct result of that action.
Our decision becomes clear and the question then is "How can I effect change or help an organization that is already doing something so, in effect, I am too?" We can ALL do something as individuals and individually and by changing something negative within yourself, you effect that change.
I need you now, more than ever . . .
I need your help my friends. I need you to make a donation to United Arts movement International to help me with this cause. Your donation will directly impact our young people's lives by teaching them the skills they need to express emotions in a manner that is positive; by showing them the skills to manifest positive outcomes to negative conditions and/or feelings they experience daily.
My mission is to teach them this so to stem the tide of incidents like Columbine, Virginia Tech, Illinois and the Utah massacres that happen daily but is swept under the carpet sending the message that we just don't care. I know that is not true and YOU know it isn't true.
We are in the midst of dramatic changes and our young people need the life skills to turn the tide of the violence, depression and suicides they have endured for too long, and therefore we have too, slowing down the process of peace worldwide.
You saw the video and you see what many are doing now to raise the peace vibration. This has been my mission and my life to help us in that direction. But I need your help and you can do this by sending a CHECK or MONEY ORDER donation to:
UAMI
1550 Barbara Rd. Suite 200
Redding, CA 96003
For donations of $100 or more we'll send you a receipt so your donation becomes tax deductible. Consult with your tax advisor for more details.
DO NOT send cash and right now the PAY-PAL buttons that are on my website are having some problems associated with it which we are working on to fix. Once corrected it'll be easier for you to make these donations to United Arts Movement International. We'll let you know when they are resolved . . .
Together we can effect change faster and bringing about the peace we wish for our planet; for our youth and for ourselves. I thank you and our future thanks you.
Peace and Love

Don't change horses in the middle of the stream
I didn't really; I waited till I got to the other side. :-)
Let me tell you just a bit about myself . . .
Being on the Internet since 1997 doing different things and selling in different niches has been a great journey for me and I have failed MANY times but have had MANY successes too.
About five years ago something really started to change within me and it was like a bolt of lightning when it hit me.
I discovered a higher purpose to all that I am. I figured there had to be more for me to do as if what I was doing wasn't enough. It wasn't . . .
I began wondering why our young people are KILLING themselves either through SUICIDES or VIOLENT ACTS like Virginia Tech, Columbine or even like the two young girls who were brutally murdered and left to rot in a ditch last month. It keeps happening over and over and nothing is really being done about it.
It's weird but as I started my non profit organization called United Arts Movement International http://www.uami.org/ in 2007, it seemed that more stories of violent acts, suicides and clinical depression amongst teens and young adults kept jumping out at me from the news media.
You know how when you buy a new car all of a sudden you see your new car EVERYWHERE when you never did before? This was happening to me with this, but it was there all along.
Every city I traveled to I'd hear on the radio or read in a newspaper or online about another killing, mass murder or suicide of young lives. Many times I'd find out that it was an innocent child or person caught in the crossfire of someone else's war.
Before I created UAMI I started to hear about these tragedies more and more and as my heart broke each time, I realized I was called to do something about this NOW which is how:
UNITED ARTS MOVEMENT INTERNATIONAL http://www.uami.org/ came into existence.
And it was then that I decided to put everything that I had learned as an Internet Marketer and started putting all my resources and money into my non profit to help young people CHANGE DIRECTIONS of their lives too, whether it's in the MIDDLE of the stream, BEFORE it or ACROSS it.
So let me introduce you to my newest project . . .
*******************************************
ARTISTIC CREATIVE EXPRESSION CENTERS
*******************************************
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Centers that restore balance in our youth allowing Artistic Creative Expression while teaching POSITIVE MANIFESTATIONS in all areas of their lives.
The result is lowering teen suicide, clinical depression and violent outbursts like the kind witnessed at Columbine, Virginia Tech, Illinois University, the Mall in Utah, the Amish Killings and the murder of two 13 year old girls in the Midwest only to name a few because this is happening all across the country ALL THE TIME!
This is an opportunity like none other for you and the ROI is phenomenal! Let me explain . . .
***********************
GRASSROOTS EFFORT
***********************
You see, I need you but more importantly, the KIDS need you. I have a fundraiser coming up in August to bring about more awareness to the community and country but also to help with all aspects of the organization.
Some of the funds will be allocated for advertising, grant writing, travel expenses to connect with those people that can become major contributors and sponsors, like artists in the US and Europe, companies that donate equipment like paint supplies, musical instruments, and building equipment, and connecting with major fundraisers in New Mexico and Florida and New York.
But the bulk of the funds will be to help us get our own building so the kids have a CENTRAL LOCATION to come to and much of the money will be to funneled towards that end.
****************
HOW IT WORKS
****************
For every donation of $10 or more gives you an ROI 1000 times with feelings of joy, raising the peace vibration, giving selflessly and the knowledge that you are making a difference in a young person's life while RESTORING BALANCE to our world. And you SAVE LIVES!! What other product can do that? Now that's an investment worth making wouldn't you say?
This is a 1 X 1,000,000 FORCED MATRIX. It works like this: You make a donation and tell all your friends to do the same. They in turn make a donation and tell their friends that you don't know and they tell them to do the same.
You tell them of the benefits they receive as I described above and how happy their hearts and souls will feel when their own kids can safely to go to college, high school and the mall again.
So each person tells their friends that there is an organization that is committed to doing something for our children and our world. Pretty soon they are having meetings, parties and telling everyone of this organization called UAMI:
UNITED ARTS MOVEMENT INTERNATIONAL <== http://www.uami.org/donors.html
And it grows and it grows and pretty soon each person has one million people under them until the whole country is in tune with what UAMI is doing.
http://www.uami.org/goals.html
To make a donation you simply go to: http://www.uami.org/donors.html and the BIG PURPLE BUTTON is the one time donation of any amount button. The other buttons are for recurring donations.
So you make either a ONE TIME DONATION or a RECURRING DONATION. The difference is I don't ask you for PERSONAL information that you don't want to give and you can remain anonymous if you so desire.
If you have a business, website, organization or anything you wish to advertise AND make a donation of 100 dollars or more I will post your information and either make a link back to you or post your address, phone or WHATEVER you want people to see. It's the CHEAPEST ADVERTISING you'll get this year and it makes GOOD business sense.
Please help spread the word and make a donation to the United Arts Movement International helping us reach every troubled and at risk child and save our kids; save our planet; save our future.
Peace and Love

Mr. and Mrs. Obama for Art.
Dear Reader,
I want to talk about the "surge". No, not the one in Iraq but the one happening right now, today in America.
I was watching c-span the other night and I came across Barack Obama talking to a huge crowd in Ohio. He was charismatically mesmerizing to say the least but what really caught my eye was his interest in bringing back, and nurturing, the ARTS.
This is important because he is the only candidate that even mentions the imbalance that is prevalent in society today, something I have dedicated my life to changing as well with my non profit United Arts Movement International.
According to what he said, he will bring arts, nutrition, scholastic excellence and invest in our youth, and I have to say that makes me feel real good about Barack Obama. Look, I'm not politically involved usually because, well, over the years I have seen the deterioration of our political system, especially the voting aspect of it. I just lost faith in it and haven't voted in over 30 years.
But there is something about Barack, his wife Michelle and the campaign he is running. When he speaks, he doesn't look at some paper with the same words we've heard year after year, like his opponents do.
They are telling it like it IS, to coin a phrase from Howard Cosell, and that's more than anyone has done in politics in longer than I can remember, and that's a long time. Their truths are apparent and up front and even if you don't agree with their truths, you must admire them for standing up for them.
Michelle Obama the other day said that for the FIRST TIME, she was proud of America. I agree with her especially when America, and those that can, begin supporting the Arts Movement once again. This is the biggest step in the change that is needed and United Arts Movement International leads the way in bringing the balance and emotional release our young people require to manifest positive outcomes to any negative situation they happen to find themselves in.
So do I endorse Barack Obama? I certainly do but do you have to in order to support the United Arts Movement International? You certainly do not and your contribution to help me lower teen suicides, depression and violence, to stop mass murders in our colleges, malls and public places by young adults lacking balance in their lives, is much needed and always appreciated.
Please don't let politics, recessions, fear or anything hold you back from helping our young people in a time where they so desperately need us. NOW is the time. Please help with a donation today. To find out more please visit the UAMI website by clicking on any of the links on this page.
As always I appreciate you taking the time to read my posts and I welcome comments from you on any subject I write about. Thank you and blessings of peace and love.

Why Gun Control Is NOT The Answer
There is no way that more "gun control" will stop this carnage we are experiencing with these incidents. It's just too easy for someone to get a weapon if not off the street, then from someone they already know. This is something that is more fundamental and it must be addressed at the core, which lies within the person committing the crime.
What lies at the core? A sense of imbalance, of low self worth and allowing others to control who they are. These personalities don't have the key to positive expression; to positive manifestations of any situation they happen to find themselves in. They were never taught or lost it through living in a system that withholds the balance and key to positive manifestation.
Notice that most of these individuals are in an age group that are victim to the school system's removal of art in the classroom. Now you wouldn't think that taking out something like art out of the curriculum would be a big deal.
But think about it; when you remove something like that you take away the BALANCE of life in school, where all you're getting now is, excel, excel, excel, and push-push-push to get great grades. The balance has been tipped to a more aggressive and punishing lifestyle and world where only "making it to college" exists and to hell with positive emotional expression that art brings about in a person.
To learn more visit http://www.uami.org/ and visit me here at http://uami.blogspot.com/ my blog for more commentary.
The solution is within our grasp but as long as we believe the government that this is not getting out of hand or only more gun control is the solution, then these incidents will become more and more mainstream rather than just the occasional incident.
Educate yourself and help out because it will be a grass roots effort that will end this from getting worse. Thanks for reading my post.
