The New Orleans Saints came marching home to a victory celebration after winning Super Bowl XLIV Sunday. One fan was quoted as saying,”We used to be the ‘Aints. We wore brown bags on our heads and now we’re Super Bowl champions!” What a difference a day makes.

What do you guys think? We think the Saints won because of that incredibly unorthodox move to do an onside kick to start the second half. First time ever that was tried in a Superbowl, and man did it ever WORK!

People we talked with just sensed now was the time for the City of New Orleans to put the past behind them and blow the victory trumpet. And it happened. It happened for New York City just a few months ago when the Yankees took the World Series Championship. It was their time too. Time to put Katrina and September 11 behind and move forward with boldness.

We’ve been going over the results of our latest survey. We see big changes there too.

Someone who hadn’t gotten any freelance writing jobs in a while picked up on the idea of intense gratitude John and Les talked about on Friday. So Saturday began with giving thanks as if good things had already happened. Change came quickly. Two new writing gigs in three hours. AWESOME!

Someone else has been inspired to create a new web-based business. Several have started blogs. Still another saw her creativity return after a three-month absence.

And one woman found a way to enhance her relationship with her husband. If she hadn’t been on the webinar with us she would have missed that opportunity.

Friendships are being established. Businesses shifting into high gear. Our little community continues to grow stronger and closer (check out our Facebook group here)

The buzz we’re getting from just about everyone is that 2010 will be a year of big changes. Many of you are asking us to lead the way. We’re definitely up for that. “Pumped” might be a better word. It’s time to take the bull by the horns and make it happen. Stay tuned. We’ll have more for you this week and next.

Is winning a Grammy as important as blowing everybody away with your show at the Grammies?  Which feels better? Which makes people more happy? And which entices fans to buy your music more?

Last night I watched with a much different perspective than I’ve had for 30 years. I was happy… even proud for the people who won. When people made their acceptance speeches, I felt love towards them because I have come to realize what it takes for them to “get there,” as opposed to my old limited perspective feeling like, “I could do that.” When people thank God for their success, I finally KNOW that feeling. For years I only felt cynicism when I heard people getting all thankful. I can’t begin to tell you what a relief that is for me, to feel thankful inside, for my own personal growth instead of pessimistic about what those artists and musos get to experience.

These 3 performances brought me to tears.  I feel completely blessed by my own understanding and appreciation of their craft.  These artists worked a lifetime to become FABULOUS and FAMOUS.

We’re really having the time of our lives with the Millionaire Affair webinars.  We’ve been appreciating tons of wonderful compliments and comments. It feels like we have totally connected with what we’re supposed to be doing RIGHT NOW, with our lives.

I could minimize or downplay the satisfaction we’re enjoying by saying we’re “pleasantly surprised.” But that could be perceived as denying how fabulous you people have been to us.  This event is unfolding much more AMAZINGLY than “pleasantly surprised.”  Sue and I are rocking on eleven and taking anyone with us brave enough to go for it.  This is the high-diving act.

Personally, I’ve known this Millionaire Affair was going to be a huge success ever since we started talking about it with our coach, John Anderson (another awesome idea from a great coach).  It was much more than a educated guess.  When we started making our dream list of potential speakers, it was an incredible feeling to KNOW some of them were going to say yes.

Your responses have really been overwhelmingly positive. Here are a few highlights:

GREAT webinar today with Sarah Prout. Listened to about half of Chris Howard replay – very powerful stuff – what he said about reprogramming unconcious expectations and focus was great. Going to listen to the rest later.

You two are rockin’! ~ Carl

I just wanted to say thanx for what you are doing with Millionaire Affair. I don’t think you realize the enormous impact you are having on people. Judging by what has bubbled up in me, to give hope & belief in myself & most likely all those that are tuned into your program. I have had so many ideas that seemed just too big & weird that there was no way to think they could be ever realised. But now – Its still like grasping at the stars but I have a rocket to get to the stars. I told a friend it feels like i’ve been riding a pony or a pushbike & now I’m in a jet & someone pushed the turbo button & now i’m breaking the sound barrier.

Following links and leads to like minded people. Just listening to others being encouraged to believe in themselves was like they were talking to me. I saw some of Maria Andros’s students clips- how inspiring. I have soooo much to learn.

How you handle the whole situation. It’s not just about what you or your guests say but what they don’t say & what they project in who they are & how they are. Its the essence of who you are that comes across that speaks the loudest to me. I’m not sure if that makes sense.

Thanks again, I look forward to every webinar, Bless you heaps ~ Shirley

Hi you guys, the Sarah Prout webinar yesterday was just the best thing since sliced bread. She is so inspiring. If she (and you) can do it so can I. Now is where it happens! Best wishes ~ Jess

Wow….Love the webinars. They are better than I expected and Love how we get to interact with the speakers. Monday can’t come fast enough:) You both have done such a fantastic job putting this together so far….WoW. Thank you Thank you Thank you. ~ Cheryl

on Sue and Steve Show Webinar! Fun Stuff! They handled their last minute guest cancellation with such finesse. You can learn a lot about online marketing through their transparency. ~ C

Just finished listening to Chris Howard. Great interview! Are you guys planning any local events? ~ Sharon

This workshop series is outstanding and I feel very blessed by you. As I wrote on the text page today, you guys are the perfect example of what Gary was telling us about giving. ~ Kate

Feeling very motivated:) Thanks to Chris Howard!! Really enjoyed the session today Sue and Steve. Thanks again. See you tomorrow ~ Lisa

Great webinar guys, thanks to you both, to Wendy and to the techie guys who enabled it to stay flowing this evening! ~ Ruth

Excellent info Sue and Steve. Wendy was a very gracious and informative. Look forward to tomorrow:) Thanks again. ~ Lisa

We had a few problems with the technology getting the first webinar going, and still received nice comments from listeners.

Great to see your ability to persevere. This ability is what creates success above all else. ~ Linda

I have to say that if this webinar is any evidence of the stuff that Sue and Steve are made of, then they will go WAY PAST “far” in their endeavors ~ Margaret

Be in the VORTEX

Co-Creation at its very best

The intense intertwining of two people provides valuable contrast and motion forward that could not erupt without the powerful dynamics of two powerful creators coming together.

Your relationship literally provides a springboard for ideas that are born out of the intertwining of thoughts.

The intense coupling of thinkers speeds and intensifies the decision making process.

There is enormous power in the contrast that erupts from two people blending ideas, situations, beliefs, intentions and desires.

Two working together provides more growth experiences for the human experience than one million people singularly focused.

When two beings, who are individually in vibrational harmony with their own Source Energy, come together — the physical experience of Co-Creation is at its very best.

Abraham-Hicks, 10/6/96

You Can’t Have It All
You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat it Too
Don’t Ask for Too Much
If You Got Everything You Want, You’d Never Be Happy
You Can’t Focus On Becoming Rich and Expect to Be Happy
blah blah blah

Which Crown suits me better? If someone could photo shop a turban and a court jester hat on my head, I’d love those too!

Sue and I have been taking a bit of flak lately about wanting to be millionaires, as if it’s an unworthy goal. Some people are suggesting that we all have limitations that we need to pay attention to them, and that we are somehow bound by them. We like to answer every email and blog or facebook comment, but I can see now that as we move up the ladder of visibility, it may become impossible to answer everything. Especially if we get stuck answering the same question… maybe people could answer this question for themselves, before they start giving people advice. hehehe

Do I sound perturbed? I’m not at all. In fact I feel more bulletproof than ever. A few people have told Sue and I that they really enjoy my writing “style” so I’ve made a decision to allow more of that to surface, without editing myself into a more socially acceptable kind of marketable positive message.

One of our Facebook friends asked us this question…

How do you not buy something you can’t afford (right at the moment, anyway), but not send out negative vibes that you have no money, therefore repel money?

And here’s our answer (please watch and leave your comments below)…

How can you see good in bad people?

Excellent question.

1st of all, make a solid commitment, a no-turning-back iron-clad decision that you’re going to SEE & PAY ATTENTION the Good! Stop labeling her a bad person.

Maybe you do this thing in the title, wonder how to see the good in a bad person. The title of this discussion, is labeling someone “bad.” Therein lies the problem. It makes sure we stay stuck, & keep thinking the same way. I certainly have judged people and maintained a grudge. I’m not ashamed to say I need to read this blog post fairly often, though less now than a year ago.

On one hand we want to see the good, and in the same sentence, the question gives more attention to the undesirable qualities someone has. Which traits do you actually want to notice?

Ask yourself different questions… ’til you get an answer that is what you say you’re looking for. Don’t quit on yourself or the other person, you’re both worth the extra compassion. If you only let yourself come up with negative answers, then that tells you how responsible you are for the animosity you continue to feel. Do you want a problem to go away or not? hehe

Try these questions instead… they can easily jolt you into a refreshing set of thoughts and feelings, and isn’t that what you actually want?

How can I create a friendship with ____, and say her name.
What is awesome about_____, that I wish I had more of?
When will I feel comfortable around _______?

Remember, whatever bad feelings you’re having about a relationship with her, are not something she did. You have made decisions to choose thoughts that make YOU feel bad.

She is showing you what you don’t like about yourself. (Ooh, that’s a weird thing to tell someone I don’t know, sorry…) But everything I’ve learned tells me this. Anything we see that we like, or don’t like in someone else, is stuff we actually carry around in our own hearts.

And every one of us on the planet, goes through not liking someone. Sooner or later, most people realize that blaming any unhappiness on another person is pointless. Some people don’t “get it” their entire lives though. Are you going to wait that long to be happy?

Now for another easy perspective, watch this!

Ok, I’m going out on a limb here. Maybe I’m channeling Shirley MacLaine.

I was visiting my favorite personal growth forum tonite Powerful Intentions, and a guy asked about using different words for the word “DEBT.” I thought about it for a minute… and I realized how many times I’d put myself through all kinds of lousy feelings about my relationship with money, just by being afraid of looking at the outstanding amounts I owed on whatever big purchases I’d agreed to finance. I remembered the tough times, when I couldn’t pay off my debts as fast as I wanted to, and how angry I got with myself and the world over it. It flooded out of me, seemed like 20 years of animosity towards cashola seemed to be squirting out of a fire hydrant. Then poof it was over.

Then the light bulb went off! I lifted into the AHA moment… the insight… the revelation that I have a new tool to deal with that strange guilty, shameful feeling.

I just finished this absolutely AWESOME book called Busting Loose from the Business Game, by Robert Scheinfeld.

This will likely appear kinda weird if you haven’t read the book. This is the context as I understand it. The author describes learning how to think of spending money as expressing appreciation.

I love the Law of Attraction, and this aligns with it flawlessly to me.

Here’s how: Everything we buy, every bill we pay, every debt we accrue… can be remembered & emotionally experienced, 2 different ways. When you pull out your wallet, cash, credit card, or make a payment with your computer… you also can choose to decide if that transaction is going to give you feelings of “not good” or feelings of “good.”

haha, gotcha… no one here is angry at all.

I started out writing a response comment to a comment on Sarah Prout’s kind blog post about our Millionaire Affair for Herrin Larkin’s blog… but instead, I got going and decided to allow this to grow into a LOOONG history post on our own blog. And if Herrin Larkin decides to include this on his own blog, then everybody wins. Traffic matters but NOT more than integrity. If he decides to get to know us, I’m POSITIVE he’ll enjoy us, even if only to silently wait for the opportunity to say “I told you so.” We welcome the scrutiny. We are completely transparent. We simply expect an abundance of prosperity because of our belief in the Law of Attraction.

Sue and I are very real people, we’re not hiding behind any cloak of anonymity whatsoever. We answer every email, blog Facebook, Youtube & Twitter comment we possibly can. We don’t know for how long we’ll be able to keep that up but we’re doing the best we can. I imagine at some point we’ll need to let go of personally answering everything. But for today, you get me and I’m going to tell you what I think, as of this moment in time. Sue is the brains behind us and she’s currently busting her butt with our helpers tightening all the nuts and bolts of our upcoming Millionaire Affair. I am the passionate, outspoken and caring coach, who is willing to say or do pretty much anything to help someone find their power. ..(click Read More below)..

So many people, including myself often enough, figure they need fixing. The truth is, most of us could use a bit more of exactly what this wonderful story is about.

A new friend of mine on the Powerful Intentions forum just shared this recently, and it’s a lovely fable about self-acceptance. Brace yourself, you’re going to feel better and it’s not going to hurt even a tiny bit!

Steve

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water…

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do ha lf of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.

“I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”

The old woman smiled, ‘Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?’ ‘That’s because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.’ For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.’

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You’ve just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

SO, to all of our cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!
