Violence against [name-your-cause, mine is women] happens because there is a cluster of so-called “thinkers” out there who believe that [women] are inferior, objects to be owned and controlled.

December eighth. A perfect day. I launched my book online, secured “Amazon bestseller” status, and I watched my daughter’s school’s Christmas show.
So there’s this company out there called Butterfly Global. The actual website has come and gone, and the only thing still in existence seems to be a Facebook fan page.

My sick fish
I had a fish. A pretty little Betta fish. Reddish pink with beautiful frilly gills.
It got sick. I’ve know about the rabbit hole. I’ve watched What The Bleep Do We Know. I paid special attention with Dr. Emoto.
I just finished reading a fictional novel by Kathy Reichs, called Death du Jour. It’s a really well written mystery novel based on a character is a forensic Anthropologist Temperance Brennan, who divides her time between Montreal, Quebec, and Charlotte, North Carolina. (K. Reichs is also a forensic anthropologist, PhD, who divides her time between Montreal and Charlotte.)

What’s Your Story?
I’m thinking of documenting my experience with the (f)Law of Attraction in the form of a book.
If you would like to add your story, I would love to hear from you. Your anonymity is guaranteed, as is anyone mentioned in your story. No real names will be mentioned in the book. The point is not to “get back” or “get even” with another person or organization; rather, it is to inform the millions out there to whom this has happened (or is happening) that there is life beyond this particular chapter in the story.
I do have some heavy and intense emotional connections to LOA.
The short version of my story goes like this: My husband and I took a financial “education” course taught by an old friend and her business partner. Both at the time claimed that they were “financially free” meaning that their investment income surpassed their expenses (which, btw turns out to have been true at the time of the course but their claim had no longevity; one of them for sure is no longer “financially free’; the other, I don’t know). I had known this woman for about a decade and trusted her. We took this course and followed their recommendations (buying their investment products). For about a year, we were considered their star pupils: we were held up as a glowing example of students putting our education into action. I was even asked to speak to another graduating class about our strategies. These days, they barely talk to us, let alone glance in our general direction.

Welcome
In 2006, I took a financial education course that impacted my outlook in life.The course was offered by a woman whose husband I had known for about 8 years at the time (a man who I admired and learned from), and I was very familiar with their financial situation. They had left the country, in a few short years came with enough assets to call themselves millionaires. This woman, the wife of my good friend, was committed to sharing her knowledge. A noble cause indeed. This woman met and partnered with a fellow who was equally committed to teaching alternative financial techniques.
