Hello - this is Positive Pat here. I'll bring a smile, a memory, and a wish into your heart this moment if you will share a little of your time. "How can she do that?" you ask. Simple.......once you meet "The Hobo"!

It all came to be one dreary, rainy fall Colorado day in a scrap of hay in the barn. There, tightly curled in a brief ray of warm sunshine, was the most mangled and blood-soaked white ball of fur I've ever seen.

Our eyes met and I felt the pain, sorrow and misery of a life that wasn't quite right. Those deep dark eyes carried the weight of the world, and connected me back to the pain I have lived. Yes, as we all have gone through at certain times in our lives. Like this miserable soaking wet creature in front of me, we often are without the understanding or insight one rightly deserves. I felt myself being drug down into his very soul thought those exhausted black eyes that day and it made me cringe with sadness and regret - and my memories.

OK, I'm getting ahead of myself, in preparing you to meet "The Hobo". There is much more to the story than this chilly grey morning. It all started 2 years before I met him and ties into events that actually occurred that I still find TOTALLY mind-bending to comprehend, much less, try to explain!

Have you ever dreamed of something you really, really wanted? Something you desired so much that you could see it and feel it in your possession? Something you didn't know "the how to" but just felt the "got to" and with each time you saw the object of your dreams, it became more and more real. Each time you could feel the joy and happiness wrap around, you might have even laughed or smiled - it was just a pleasant moment in time. Well friend, there is a mighty Law of the Universe that allows this kind of thought to become real. I have POSITIVE PROOF right here, right now!

Did you know that there is something very powerful called the Law of Attraction that has been proven by the Universe for thousands of years, as well as modern day science in quantrum physics for those of us who don't readily believe this "airy fairy" stuff of just words! Have you ever watched the mind-expanding and dream-awakening movie "The Secret"? It is on the computer and will be the best $5 you've spent. (I will share how to order it later). Gather the family - your children will probably internalize it easier than those of us who have felt dinged and dented by life.

Anyway, after MUCH intense study and research, I am totally amazed that the natural laws of the universe are so precise that we can plot trips to the moon and beyond, hitting a minute target a gazillion mies away! All because of the constant laws of the universe. You know an apple will fall to the ground from the tree or the sun will rise and set every day. Some things just are --- whether you're in New York, California, Brazel, Denmark, or Austtralia. The same universal principles are true for the Law of Attraction.

OK, now comes the "catch"...... This Law of Attraction says everything that's coming into your life YOU are attracting into your life - the good, the bad, & the ugly. And it is being attracted by the images and feelings you hold in your mind, your beliefs, and your attitude. It is basically what you are thinking about constantly and continuously. Yes, parts of this are difficult to grasp, especially when negative things happen to us. Many great books by the world's best teachers have been written over thousands of years addressing this very issue. Great thinkers and scholars have devoted their lives to the study of this concept.

Something happened in "The Hobo's" life to dramatically alter his thinking pattern, never to return to the "old" way ever again. I just had to know more!

While I have no fancy titles or diplomas, I do have a degree I am proud to display, form the best school of alll - the School of Hard Knocks! My self-induced studies and "life experiments" have taken me on more than a half century of trips around the sun. Finally, I have stumbled onto the secrets of OPPORTUNITY, ABUNDANCE, AND PROSPERITY that have been within my reach all the time - I just didn't understand the steps necessary to claim them.

My journey, pain, sorrow, and glory are a common story. My companions are lifetime friends - people, books, stories, and everyday life. I can see how my THOUGHTS and BELIEFS have shaped my world over the course of year upon year of reinforcing these same thoughts and beliefs, like a river etching it's path in the rocks of time. No one ever cautioned me to stop and take inventory of my beliefs, mostly because they held the same ones! Some of the beliefs limited my thinking because of an action someone took or something they told me 20 - 30 - 40 YEARS ago!! I ALLOWED it to retain its' power over my feelings, actions, and self-image today. (Think "Grand Canyon" deep here!)

OK, did you get a nice "visual" there = Grand Canyon deep, constantly flowing and weather-worn? Our thought patterns resemble that. BUT - we have the power within us to make the changes.

Let's ask "The Hobo" how he made a gigantic leap forward that one fateful day. Are YOU ready to open the doors of your mind and let the light shine in?
