Here's a photo of a rusty old truck parked in the Castro district of SF. I'll be leaving this Bay Area in 3 weeks and heading for the Southern Bay Area - south of Tampa in Venice, Florida on the Gulf Coast. I'm posting this memory shot of my walks through the City by the Bay. I will keep in touch.

Isn't this a BEAUTIFUL photo? I've been browsing flickr to find images for my Virtual Reality practice - places I can go to in my mind to feel my connection to Source.

Abraham-Hicks Virtual Reality Exercise - Day 2

Yesterday was a success. I thought of about 10 VR sites to spend 30-seconds in throughtout my day. My goal is to make my dominant vibrations thoughts of my choosing instead of random. I believe this will allow a feeling of well-being to be my dominant life experience. Having spent 30 years doing meditation and visualization using affirmations, words and images, it's taking a little practice to simple "pick a place" and go there to feel inspired in the moment.

Here's me in 1976 at the top of Trail Ridge Drive in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado with gull perched on my outstretched hand. What a thrill for me!

The grand experiment continues.

Virtual Reality and the Teachings of Abraham

My whole life changed (once again) late in April '08 when I listened to Ester Hicks & the Abraham-Hicks "Ask and it is Given" seminar on hayhouseradio.com. Since then I have been studying the Art of Allowing and Deliberate Creation by listening to their seminars as often as possible. They have their own website and video clips of their seminars on their AbrahamHicks youtube blog. Today I've begun a 30-day commitment to including as many meditations of virtual reality throughout my day as I remember to do so, so that my dominant thoughts and vibration are about allowing the stream of well-being that is my true nature. Check it out their material if you're so inclined.

Glynis McCants - The Power of 8

Today on www.hayhouseradio.com I listened to the final minutes of Glynis McCants' show , "Glynis has your number". A caller shared her success with "The Power of 8" from Glynis' book so I immediately went to her website to get the facts. Here's what she recommends: "The number 8 encourages financial security. I have had many clients put an 8 in their wallet, and just leave it in there. Next thing you know, they get a check out of the blue that they were not expecting, or they get a surprise promotion. The bottom line is that it does increase the prosperity in their life. I suggest you print out or write the number 8 on a piece of paper, put it in your wallet, and forget about it. You might want to put an 8 up on the wall where you pay your bills. You are simply letting the universe know that you are ready for more financial prosperity in your life. I have had hundreds of emails from people telling their story of financial success by doing this. If you want to speed up the process, I suggest you start repeating the following affirmation no less than 15 minutes a day and you will get results."
"I pay my bills with ease, and I always have extra money"

Raphaella's art on CafePress products

I discovered CafePress yesterday and immediately started building a storefront called "Raphaella's Heartful Art". I have only uploaded one image so far: Heart for Life which is available on note cards and on a canvas tote bag. What fun!!! I've had many requests for greeting cards of my posters, so if you have a favorite one you'd like to purchase, shoot me an e-mail telling me what product you'd like that poster on and I will upload the image for you on the products of your choice. At least I think that's how this might work. As usual, I'm making one choice at a time.
