We just spent four and a half days in Washington DC at the Enlightened Wealth Retreat. What a great experience. There is nothing like surrounding yourself with entrepreneurs and people following their dreams. We made many contacts, renewed some passions, found focus and perhaps a new mentor.

The event was capped off by a presentation by Omar Periu. If you haven't heard him speak or bought nay of his products, I will tell you that he is the epitome of enlightened wealth. A caring, generous, down to earth, multi-multi millionaire.

Out of all the presenters that we saw, we felt most compelled by him and Marshall Sylver. Omar was the only one we felt compelled to purchase training material from. I am now also looking for training stuff by Marshall Sylver, and found a few things on e-bay that I am bidding on. Marshall's stuff is about self esteem and mind control, (meaning internal, controlling your emotions and using your self confidence and his methods to be more persuasive.

We are again getting back to basics and are focused on real estate. We have made some pretty serious money with real estate in the past two years, and need to get back to that, so we can get the freedom NOW. We signed up for a Robert Allen 90 day real estate challenge, and may be contestants on a reality TV show. (more on that, if it happens)

Have you ever felt like you were wasting your time or maybe just that you didn't have focus or direction on what you wanted to do? I have drifted a little bit since my book came out. Somehow it became anti-climactic when it was released. I am sure that had to do with finding no support from local papers or bookstores. No one wants to deal with a first time author with a book from a print on demand publisher. It doesn't matter how good or bad the book is, it just is not Random House or Oprah's Press. I let that get me down, but I have brushed my pants off and I am getting back on the horse. My two other businesses are starting to take off, so I can make the book thing work as well. F the local press. When I am famous and rich I will still be me and I will remember how I was ignored. No vindictive behavior, but what goes around comes back around.

The other thing that comes with the wealth that is barreling my way is the awesome fun of sharing it with charity and local causes (and of course my friends and family.) Joy to the world. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it helps when the bills are paid and when I can pay the bills for others. Listen up Human Society, Berks Women in Crisis and Make a Wish Foundation: The previous checks were good, the next ones will be better.

What a great week, and what a great life. Thank you!
