So you have some perspective on life…

A friend of mine of some 20 years, who I haven’t heard from in many years, wrote me yesterday with the subject line “Devastating News.”

His son, now 26, walked into a police station and confessed to the murder of his pregnant wife.

The police didn’t know of a missing person or a murder, but they investigated. Sure enough, the wife is dead. And my friend’s son did it.

How do you handle that?

Whatever your day is like, it’s got to be better than what my old friend is going through right now.

Ao Akua,

PS – In the Hawaiian system called ho’oponopono, you are responsible for everything that occurs in your life. Since this is now in your experience, it’s up for healing in you, too. The way to do this is to say “I love you” to whatever you feel is the source. And trust that It will do whatever is necessary for the highest good of all concerned.

How to Know Your Future

People are writing to me after listening to my talk about the real secret to attracting wealth www.unityofwimberley.com/archive.htm and asking where they can get a Vedic Astrology reading done.

My favorite Vedic astrologer is Joni Patry. She’s in Dallas but does sessions by phone. Get the details at http://www.galacticcenter.org/vedic_astrology_readings.htm

Tell her I said hey.

A hilarious Internet marketing video hits today

I love this: Armand Morin and or AS Michael Lee Austin just put up a clever video to market Austin’s new country music CD.

All I have to say is go see this right now and watch this brilliant marketing promotion at work.

Whether you call this one of those Internet hoakes or an online hoax, I predict Austin/Morin’s CD is going to fly up the Amazon charts as well as the Billboard charts.

And they’ll do it all with viral marketing.

Go see – http://www.michaelleeaustin.com/promo.html

PS – P.T. Barnum returns from the grave on May 9th. Mark your calendar. (He’d love this Austin/Morin promotion.)

A Common Marketing Mistake


I love gadgets. You can imagine how excited I got when the ThinkGeek Overlords sent me an email this morning featuring the first ever Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard.

It’s a tiny device that laser projects a keyboard onto any flat surface. You then type on that projected image and your words are picked up by Bluetooth and sent to your SmartPhone or PDA. Think of it as an interactive hologram.

Is it a hoax?

Maybe.

But I wanted one.

Now.

So I shot over to http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/8193/

And that’s where my throbbing heart sank.

That’s where I saw yet another company make a common marketing mistake.

They promoted the gadget (real or not) before it was ready to ship.

There are no devices in stock.

Not only that, but ThinkGeek doesn’t even allow me to pre-order the darn thing. (Note: They do, now. They changed their site after I posted this blog this morning.)

Talk about disappointment.

It gets worse.

As I reviewed the specs for the Bluetooth Virtual Desktop Laser Keyboard gadget, I saw that my Blackberry 8700C phone isn’t listed as one of the devices it works with. So even if the keyboard projector is real, and was in stock, and I got one, it would be virtually useless to me.

Listen and learn: Don’t market anything before its time (unless it’s clear that the product isn’t ready for order and you’re just building a buzz for it).

And if this whole thing is a hoax, then it’s not very funny.

Disappointed customers bitch and moan and end up complaining to others — even on their blogs.

Ao Akua,

PS – The device is real and this company sells it and they say it is compatible with my Blackberry: http://www.laser-keyboard.com/compatibility.asp

PPS – I don’t know this for a fact, but I suspect Lindsay Lohan is now using a prescription medication for asthma called Advair. How do I know? Her voice is changing. I used the same prescription for a few months and noticed my voice changed, as well. A friend of mine uses Advair every day and I can hear his voice getting hoarse. I think the medication makes Linday’s voice huskier and sexier. But I’d rather see her get off all meds and find a natural cure for asthma. She might consider the Buteyko Method. http://www.buteyko.com/ I care about you, Lindsay.

The Real Secret to Attracting Wealth

Last Sunday (Palm Sunday) I spoke at the local Unity church about the real secret to attracting wealth.

I’m not one of those prosperity preachers who offers simple spells for manifestation or a prosperity prayer to the poor, but I do know a thing or two about the universal law of attraction.

After all, I did write the book, The Attractor Factor. www.attractorfactor.com

And I am in the movie, The Secret. www.whatisthesecret.tv

So I took a risk and told the standing-room only crowd two reasons why they may be experiencing lack.

One of the reasons was pretty “in your face” but needed to be discussed by someone.

That someone was me.

Apparently I hit a nerve that was ready to heal. My talk moved people to tears, smiles, and even applause – in a cool country church on a sunny Texas day.

You can hear the whole thing — including a short prosperity meditation and a healing session (led by me) — by going to – www.unityofwimberley.com/archive.htm

Hey, maybe I am one of those prosperity preachers, after all.

Expect Miracles.

PS – I love my Pirolette from www.turnyourhead.com so much that I brought it to my talk. I used it as a type of “show and tell” to invite people to see what they normally don’t see. They loved it. The photo above is of me and my Pirolette. See how it’s like a puzzle piece that fits my face? Somehow the Pirolette is a prosperity prayer in wood. I sure prefer it over the controversial Britney Spears sculpture in the news right now http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4856508.stm
