AS a matter of fact, it was a quick pick. I just watched her story on one of my DVDs and thats what the announcer said.

She was on How'd You Get So Rich? Joan Rivers was asking her how she got rich and she explained to her about the lottery. The car she has is nice (a blue Bentley). To take in her brother's kids to raise and help her dad and other brother cash in was wonderful. To top it off, to be charitable as she is is an inspiration for us. The visualization is nothing new, we visualize daily whether good or not so good. We can all learn something from her. Funny, I was looking for her story and it came acros... [ More ]

Some people are able to enter a quantum or multi-dimensional state of mind and from that state of mind are able to co-create future events. Sages have practiced just that for thousands of years and it was labeled as miracles.

Those who believe only in a 3-dimensional linear reality can't grasp how it's done because doing so requires thinking outside the 3-D box. Some of us do that on a regular basis ... it's going to become the norm for regular everyday people in the very near future.

Wiccans practice magik BUT NOT ALL people who practice magik are Wiccans.

If you knew anything about the laws of attraction YOU WOULD KNOW that you still have to do your part!

Some things in life CANNOT be proved by facts, logic, or any other means but they are real just the same.

We attract what we are and not we attract what we want . Wayne Dyer speaks of this in The power of intention.

A lot of people focus on wanting things instead of wanting to be more kind, forgiving, gentle, loving honest with their intentions I know horrible people get wealth and have there way with the world...but good people are truly blessed and no amount of money can buy that.

I just hope who ever can do the most good in the world does the most good. Getting all crazy over money is... [ More ]

U should ignore rdgrnr. I figured out he was a dumbass a long time ago.

Also this lady should be careful she does not give too much of her money away. She has already split it with her brother and father now she is giving a lot of it away.

I was with her up to the part about visualizing exactly $112 million. Okay, sure. Was that before or after taxes?

Does that mean all the visualize to win folks were not worthy or were not visualizing intensely enough?

Not that she doesn't deserve a break like this, but...seriously.

I don't know about visulizing the numbers but i know about visualization- seeing yourself achieving a goal, achievement. I am a reader, I'll have to check out this book by Braden. I love Deepak chopar, Randy Pausch, the true - last lecturer.

She's correct about giving now, money, time, etc. and not waiting for a large winfall. My mom taught me that, and i've volunterred for child abuse shelter and crisis, etc.

I don't know what they were thinking...and I for one don't want my money supporting these types of people...I agree with you. The art world has been filled with scam artists...no pun intended...but not all artists are the same. I don't like it when government pays for art, art education is fine but they shouldn't support artists.

I do get where you are coming from, hope you understand my view as well.

rdgrnr — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 06:59:59 GMT

The National Endowment for The Arts apparently considered Robert Mapplethorpe a real artist because he was supported by our tax dollars.

The fact of the matter is you can call a Kleenex full of snot Art if you want and liberals will clamor to see it. That's all well and good if you're into that kind of thing but I draw the line when my tax dollars have to pay these artists for their efforts.

Create your art but just don't make me pay for it.

Don't confuse idiots who claim to be artist with actual artists. There is plenty of great art out there that doesn't have anything to do with some moron putting his rear in paint and sitting on a canvas. The stuff you are offended by is not art, it is garbage and why these people get attention is beyond me...there are a lot of great soulful people who are artists...lumping artist in with attention getting talentless hacks doesn't help real artists.

Years ago there was an LP member who said something similar who said that if you can medidate you can get the winning numbers...Such belief you could say they work: 50% because such a belief is under the assumption that God/Jesus created us in Eden and that he placed something important in our minds...Not trying to be cruel to God i believe God created the Universe but such a belief is saying that we didnt evolved from monkeys so that s my problem with visualization...However strange things happ...

I've heard of visualizing before. I read about a woman who needed exactly $1640 to pay for rent and a bill. She went to a visual class and did exactly that.

Two weeks later, she got a check for $1640 from a mutual fund's interest.

I've tried it (lottery-wise) but I'm not consistant. I never know if I should ask for more so I can donate more or just less because it seems the more you get, the more trouble it is. I keep thinking God is the only one who knows what's best for me, so whatever H... [ More ]

I have a worthy cause. The leukemia and lymphoma society is a non-profit agency that aids victims and familys of victims of these terrible diseases. When my brother was dying, they helped with his care and transportation to and from his treatments. This allowed my to work and gave us hope. These people do great things and are first on my donation list.

The article reads: She set her sights on winning a very specific amount of money in the lottery. Enough money to support her family along with any charity she could ever dream of supporting. The dollar amount, she says? $112 million...It took only four months.

They won her dream amount $112 million and together decided to take the cash payout of $67 million and... [ More ]

She seems like a good hearted lady.

The only thing I would have done different is the direction. Arts, Schmartz. Kids don't need Arts so they can turn out like Mapplethorpe and Sean Penn and Al Franken and all those other freaks of nature.

I would have gotten them into nature and hunting and shooting and fishing and survival and learning how to grow their own food and such. We don't need more people putting crucifixes in vials of urine or pictures of Mary with dung splattered on them and c... [ More ]

This is a story of true charity and how individuals should have the choice of how they share the wealth!

Should I be fortunate enough to win a large sum of money in the lottery ... I will donate to worthy causes as I deem that any donation will have the biggest possible impact.

.....As far-fetched as it may seem to many, Stafford had long been an active practitioner of visualization and meditation techniques in her personal life, and she set her sights on a better life. She set her sights on winning a very specific amount of money in the lottery.

She's one determined and dedicated woman .... huge congratulations to her for all she's achieved. She's living proof what you hold in your mind and work toward creates reality.

As twists of fate go, Cynthia Stafford has been dealt some doozies.

Cynthia would have none of that: She applied for?full custody of her nieces and nephews, ages 3 to 10, and though the state initially fought her, Stafford prevailed and became an instant mother to five children a full...
