The Lovely Law of Life
Have you ever wondered why one person’s life seemed so blessed, and another’s seems so cursed? How can it be so impossible for someone to encounter a good situation? There are many differences between that person who always seems to hit the red lights, their car always breaks down, they get hurt, things go wrong, and they always seem broke; whereas the person who is always happy, always has money, loves their life, and can always find a reason to smile and apparently just knows all the right people. The truth is, the difference between a lucky and an unlucky person is attitude, thoughts, feelings, and overall outlook on everyday situations. It’s not just you being happy despite what goes on in your life, it is the physical manifestations of your life that are parallel to your thoughts and attitude.
What I am referring to is something more popularly referred to today as “The Law of Attraction.” In the past it has been referred to as the “New Thought Movement,” “Energy of Attraction,” “Law of Success,” “practical metaphysics,” and “science of mind.” The myriad of books and groups of individuals that have been released on this topic are never ending. This has been a message from well known philosophers, scientists and religious teachers for many years including Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Jesus, Buddha, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Napoleon Hill, and many more.
According to the movie “The Secret” the definition of the Law of Attraction is- “like attracts like. Your most dominant thoughts, feelings, and actions are exactly what you are constantly bringing and receiving into your everyday life.” YES you are responsible for your outcome, the situations you encounter, the success you achieve, and the happiness you experience all based on your thoughts and your feelings.
The average person tends to have a hard time accepting that they actually do have control over both the good and the bad consequences in their lives. I can understand how it would be difficult for someone to accept that they perhaps had something to do with the car accident that occurred in their life or the debt that continues to pile up, or their health that is going down hill. Because it is so awesome, it occurs whether one accepts it or not.
Maybe the hardest thing is for someone to believe that this could just exist. “Guess what man I just got a thousand dollars thanks to my thoughts!” Okay, so it sounds a little far fetched. But, there is a science to the Law of Attraction, it’s not just a bunch of psycho hippies thinking positive therefore being happy. You can start with Einstein’s e=mc2. This formula explains the relationship between energy and matter. Me, you, and the computer you are staring at are made up of all the same things. When put under a microscope we are all little tiny particles of vibrating energy constantly moving, interchangeable and always changing form. If you take that and apply it to Newton’s laws of gravity it starts to coalesce. The law of gravity is as apparent as you are, but it’s much more complex then you realize. Our solar system would not operate in a way that we could live without the gravitational pull that keeps it in orbit.
According to Newton the Law of Gravity, every massive particle attracts every other massive particle, mass attracts mass. According to research, at the much credited source, The Smithsonian Institute they have been able to physically prove that you can measure a thought. Measuring thoughts proves that thoughts have mass. That means that they consist of matter. They are vibrating particles of energy moving around just like me, you and this computer. Therefore; thoughts attract mass. Understanding something so outstanding is just as difficult as understanding electricity. It’s so complex that you don’t even try and understand it, you just take advantage of it’s benefits.
It’s not surprising, when you think about it. Every religious person that I know will tell you that praying is a powerful thing. So generally when someone is praying, they are asking God for what they desire. Well, have you ever tried to pray without thinking? Whether it’s God or the Universe manifesting situations into your life, it’s happening whether you like it or not. It was in the mid-1800’s when self help, for things like diseases and illnesses in the body, began to be shown possible. Looking at this, being the curious human beings we are, if we can heal ourselves with our mind, what else can we do with our minds?
According to the 6th edition of the Columbia Encyclopedia by H. W. Dresser The name the “New Thought Movement” was adopted in the 1890’s and was deliberately created to draw a wide variety of interests from healing yourself, to bringing success into your life. This movement was meant to be an intensely individualistic and optimistic approach to life and everything in it. There were conventions held from 1894 through 1914 and there was even an International New Thought Alliance organized which consisted of small groups all following the same teaching. Through the creative and constructive use of one’s mind one can attain freedom, power, prosperity and everything they could want to apply to their bodies as well as their everyday lives. The power of the law of attraction has come in and out of awareness for thousands and thousands of years. This is quite understandable considering our lovely society which is conditioned to live life around a realm of drama and grow more and more into material and further from themselves.
If the law of attraction is what it’s spoken to be then that means that everything you have ever wanted in your life is within your reach, closer then you ever realized. You want to be wealthy you must think wealthy, you must never allow one feeling of debt or sacrifice when you are spending money, you must think and feel like you have enough money for anything. On the other hand, if you are constantly saying the words,” I don’t want to be late, I don’t want to be late, I don’t want to be late,” you are going to be late. What you must say is “I want to be on time, I want to be on time, I want to be on time.” The purpose is to always think and feel what you want, not what you don’t want.
Throughout the years there have been quite a few concepts that refer to the Law of Attraction just in different words, things that require your belief in order for you to achieve. For instance, The Placebo Affect. According to Natural Health Vol 40 Issue 5 this idea was criticized until the 1950’s when it was then studied more and proven to be very very effective. The concept is that a doctor gives a patient a sugar pill for example, he then tells his patient that this sugar pill is their medicine. Generally this person would believe with all of their hearts that this pill was their medicine and that it was going to help them get better. Often times this also means the person will be familiar with the common side affects that accompany the medicine and therefor those are also part of their sugar pill experience. Studies have shown that the Placebo Affect is affective in 60% of subjects, that means there is no adequate evidence to show that new medicines work any better then that. It really says a lot that thousands of people can be cured of illnesses just because they think they have been given medicine when really they haven't been given any at all. People these days are conditioned to think that whatever illness they have can only be cured by a doctor’s prescription, the Placebo Affect not only brings hope for more natural and self healing but also to the realization of what we can do to our own bodies just by the way we feel and think about it.
You might have also heard the phrase “stress creates disease.” When you are stressed you are not thinking happy easy going thoughts or humming the tune to “Don’t Worry be Happy.” When you are stressed you are thinking about things that are not going the right way, either way it results in something negative. According to Issue 3: PG38 of Health Source - Consumer Edition it has been proven that stress physically breaks down the immune system. The break down of the immune system is the first step in the development of cancer. The Smithsonian Institute did a study on the mind projected on water. First, they had a priest bless water, under a microscope they could see that the actual structure of the molecules began to change, it was a very organized, symmetrical and beautiful structure. Then they projected negative thoughts on the water by concentrating and writing negative things on it’s container like “anger,” “hate,” “sadness” etc. This time when the structure changed it was unorganized, sporadic and chaotic. According to ga.water.usgs.gov our bodies are made up of an average of 70% water, if The Smithsonian Institute proved that you can change the structure of water molecules with your thoughts, then what could you do to your own body with your thoughts?
I would like to explain the situation of a now 22 year old girl name Caeri Baker. Throughout Caeri’s life she had multiple people who had done her wrong, she had an outlook from past situations that people would continue to do this. Caeri’s first tattoo was one that she thought was definitely justified. It was a large “X” and right above it read “Insert knife here,” this was to show that she was expecting people to, metaphorically of course, stab her in the back. According to the Law of Attraction an attitude towards people like this would bring about more and more people and situations in her life where she would be done wrongly or betrayed. Sometimes this law can work more specifically then just that.
Just like anyone Caeri had hobbies. Included in these hobbies was dirt biking. What was expected to be a fun exciting time on the sand, Caeri’s day at Dumont Dunes 3 and a half years ago would change her life. Sand and sun creates a tricky illusion and without the proper awareness you can find yourself running into a large drop off that you didn’t realize was there. This is what happened to Caeri, who described as being the “fastest slow motion ever,” she fell 60 feet on an unexpected jump while following someone who was much more experienced then her. Caeri severed her spinal cord that day, oddly enough, they had to insert knife directly in the exact spot where she had told the Universe to insert it with the permanent ink on her back. Of course this can be written off as coincidence, but is it really? Or is it the Law of Attraction at it’s most accurate work? Her situation does not stop there. Caeri’s severed spinal cord caused her to be paralyzed. At 19 years old she could no longer walk, she could do nothing independently that had to do with the bottom half of her body. She was aware of the fact that the situation could have been worse and she was grateful to be alive, little did she know.. her situation was supposed to be a lot worse. About a month after her accident doctors were looking at her x-rays, they realized that they had falsely diagnosed Caeri. She was not supposed to a paraplegic, she was supposed to be a quadriplegic. Because Caeri was told that she could move her arms she of course thought that she could move her arms; therefor she could. As astonished as she was, she was once again presented with something else to be thankful for. In a rehabilitation center in California she was constantly being told to read the book I brought up earlier, “The Secret.” They told her that it would help her, that the only way she will ever be able to walk is if she can use her mind to tell her legs to move. Since then she has made more progress then most of the paralyzed do for their entire life, from moving her toe, to flexing her muscles, and thanks to her attitude she knows it’s only going to get better.
Caeri’s story of how her thoughts and feeling towards life and certain situations can manifest into something real is just one out of a million examples. The thing about the Law of Attraction is that what you believe and you feel is really true is what you are going to get. It’s normal in this day and age for people to think things have to be a certain way despite the amazing leaps in technology we are constantly achieving. The fact is, if you were to try and test the Law of Attraction for the benefit of yourself, just try something simple for example getting the perfect parking spot at work, if you doubt that it is true and doubt that you could really shift the Universe in ways that you would get that spot, then that’s all you will get, something to doubt.
This ancient metaphysical law has been around for thousands of years, though there are still many who would never give such an amazing thing a chance for the sake of their beloved everyday drama, it is becoming more and more known and accepted. Your first step is to research this for your own sake, try it for yourself, and hopefully begin transforming your life into everything you want, rather then everything you do not want. You will find that there is a very distinct difference in that person who’s life always goes wrong, and that person who’s life always goes perfect; that difference is positive and negative.

The Lovely Law of Everyday Life
Have you ever wondered why one person’s life seemed so blessed, and another’s seems so cursed? Is it impossible for you to cross a good situation? There are so many differences between that person who always seems to hit the red lights, their car always breaks down, they get hurt, things go wrong, and they always seem broke; whereas the person who is always happy, always has money, loves their life, and can always find a reason to smile and apparently just knows all the right people.

The fact is, if you were to try and test the Law of Attraction for the benefit of yourself, just by something simple for example getting the perfect parking spot at work, if you doubt that it is true and doubt that you could really shift the Universe in ways that you would get that spot, then that’s all you will get, something to doubt.
This ancient metaphysical law has been around for thousands of years, though there are still many who would never give such an amazing thing a chance for the sake of their beloved everyday drama, it is becoming more and more known and accepted. Your first step is to research this for your own sake, try it for yourself, and hopefully begin transforming your life into everything you want, rather then everything you do not want.

This is just a draft with no ending to show that I am writing
Have you ever wondered why one person’s life seemed so blessed, and another’s is impossible to cross a good situation? There is so much different between that person who always seems to hit the red lights, their car breaks, they get hurt, things go wrong, and they are always broke; then the person who is always happy, always has money, loves life, and can always find a reason to smile. People have a hard time excepting that they just might control their outcome, unless it is a good thing, then they could not help their life go in the direction that it did. I can understand how it would be hard for someone to except that maybe they had something to do with the car accident they had coming into their life. The fact is, you do have control, this is something that has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, people have just been too tied up in their closed minds to realize it.
What I am referring to is something more popularly referred to today as “The Law of Attraction.” In the past it has been referred to as the “New Thought Movement,” “Energy of Attraction,” “Law of Success,” “practical metaphysics,” and “science of mind.” The groups and number of books that have been released on this topic are never ending. According to the movie THE SECRET the definition of the Law of Attraction is- like attracts like, your most dominant thoughts, feelings, and actions are exactly what you are constantly bringing and receiving in your everyday life. This has been a message from well known philosophers and religious teachers for millions of years including Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Jesus, Buddha and many many more.
It’s not surprising, when you think about it, every religious person I know will tell you that praying is a powerful thing. So generally if someone is praying they are asking God for what they want, well have you ever tried to pray without thinking? Whether it’s God or the Universe manifesting situations into your life, it’s happening whether you like it or not. it It was in the mid 1800’s when self help for things like diseases and illnesses in the body began to be shown possible, looking at this, being the curious human beings we are, if we can heal ourselves with our mind, what else can we do with our minds? According to the 6th edition of the Columbia Encyclopedia by H. W. Dresser The name the “New Thought Movement” was adopted in the 1890’s and was purposely to draw a wide variety of interests from healing yourself, to bringing success into your life. This movement was meant to be an intensely individualistic and optimistic approach to life and everything in it. There were conventions held from 1894 through 1914 and there was an International New Thought Alliance put together, this was containing small groups all following the same teaching. Through the creative and constructive use of one’s mind one can attain freedom, power, prosperity and everything they could want to apply to their bodies as well as their everyday lives. The power of the law of attraction has come in and out of awareness for thousands and thousands of years. This is very understandable considering our lovely society which is conditioned to live life around a realm of drama and grow more and more into material and further from themselves.
There is a science to the Law of Attraction, it’s not just a bunch of psycho hippies thinking positive therefor being happy. You can start with Einstein’s e=mc2. This formula explains the relationship between energy and matter. Me, you, and the computer you are staring at are made up of all the same things. When put under a microscope we are all little tiny particles of vibrating energy constantly moving, interchangeable and always changing form. So you if you take that and apply it to Newton’s laws of gravity it starts to come together. The law of gravity is as apparent as you are, but it’s much more complex then you realize. Our solar system would not operate in a way that we could live without the gravitational pull that keeps it in orbit. According to Newton the law of gravity is that every massive particle attracts every other massive particle, mass attracts mass. According to research at the much credited source The Smithsonian Institute they have been able to physically prove that you can measure a thought. Measuring thoughts proved that thoughts have mass, that means that they are matter, they are vibrating energy moving around just like me, you and this computer, therefor; thoughts attract mass. Understanding something so outstanding is just as difficult as understanding electricity, its so complex that you dont even try and understand it, you just take advantage of it’s benefits.
If the law of attraction is what it’s spoken to be then that means that everything you have ever wanted in your life is in your reach, closer then you ever realized. You want to be wealthy you must think wealthy, you must never feel one feeling of debt or sacrifice when you are spending money, you must think and feel like you have enough money for anything. Vise versa, if you are constantly saying the words, I don’t want to be late I don’t want to be late I dont want to be late, you are going to be late, what you must say is I want to be on time, i want to be on time, I want to be on time. The purpose is to always think and feel what you want, not what you dont want.
Throughout the years there have been quite a few concepts that refer to the Law of Attraction just in different words, things that require your belief in order for you to achieve. For instance, The Placebo Affect. According to Natural Health Vol 40 Issue 5 this idea was criticized until the 1950’s when it was then studied more and proven to be very very effective. The concept is that a doctor gives a patient a sugar pill for example, he tells his patient that this sugar pill is their medicine. Generally this person would believe with all of their hearts that this pill was their medicine and that it was going to help them get better, often times this also means the person will be familiar with the common side affects that accompany the medicine and therefor those are also part of their sugar pill experience. Studies have shown that the Placebo Affect is affective in 60% of subjects, that means there is no adequate evidence to show that new medicines work any better then that. It really says a lot that thousands of people can be cured of illnesses just because they think they have been given medicine when really they haven't been given any at all. People these days are conditioned to think that whatever illness they have can only be cured by a doctor’s prescription, the Placebo Affect not only brings hope for more natural and self healing but also to the realization of what we can do to our own bodies just by the way we feel and think about it.

Annotated Bibliography # 1-5 & Source Analysis

Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.
Summary: Recession proof your mind. When the world is talking about a recession you should think the complete opposite. Rich people have developed a habit of always thinking big and knowing they are rich. The articles refers to the movie THE SECRET, and talks about how you receive what you think, therefor if you open up a bill and you think debt, you will get more debt.
Reflection: I love finding all these articles that talk about things that are the law of attraction but in different words. readind more about things like this it makes me think about how i see it in my everyday life and how i know people in my life who really have no money, and i just so happen to hear them talk about how broke they are all the time, If only they started to think they were getting rich. I am going to now go read the movie "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind."

Boe, John. "The Magic of Positive Thinking." American Salesman, Vol 54 issue 7(July 2009):PG 17-19. MasterFILE Premier. 3 NOV 2010.
SUMMARY: This article does not say that positive thinking will manifest a positive situation but what it does say is that any situation you are in can be positive depending on how you are perceiving the situation. It says that it depends on you to be aware of your attitude and to try not to have negative minded people. You will be a failure if failure is what you think. You are what you think.
Reflection: I really love how it says the key is to look for opportunity. I think it was very effective when he gave the quote from Thomas Edison "There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start anew." after a building with 2,000,0000 of equipment of his was burned down. Learning to use the Law of Attraction doesnt work if you can not learn to change situations that you would normally perceive as bad into something good. every door that closes, another one opens.

SUMMARY: This article refers to when the Law of Attraction was referred to the New Thought Movement which was the late 1800's and the early 1900's, it began after the discovery of what disease can to your body and it became an entire movement. There were conventions held and the international new thought movement alliance was formed. It was a new approach on life and conduct. The new thought movement had people like ralph waldo trine who later became well known.
Reflection: The more I research the more names I find for the law of attraction. I like to find things from a long time ago. The law of attraction to a lot of people they have to TRY to believe it, me I have proven it to myself so many times over the past few years that I know it's true, so finding articles like this to show that there was once a movement in a time like that is very rewarding.

Pitts, Willis. Cancer and the Power of Positive Thinking. Total Health, Vol. 15 Issue 3,(JUNE 93): PG38. Health Source - Consumer Edition. 29 oCT 2010.
Summary: This article speaks of cancer and the severity of it. It talks about how at this time on average cancer took a life every single minute. It was highest killer of kids from age 3 to 14. As much money and effort that is put into finding a cure for cancer there is still no luck, and no matter what awesome thing the world does the cure for cancer is not one of them. This article talks about how the first step for the development of cancer is the break down of the immune system. It has been proven that the immune system is improved with good self esteem, happiness, and an over all positive thinking.
Reflection: I like this article just because it is a scholarly source to show what I already knew. The movie The Secret features a lady who got breast cancer and was cured within 3 months with no treatment except for laughter and positive thnking. Its proven that stress creates disease, which makes sense if the immune system can be improved with positive thinking then the immune system can be put down by negative thinking. I personally know a person who was paralized, they told her her level of severity which would be from right below the arms down, 3 months later looking at those x rays again realizing that they diagnosed her wrong, and she is was supposed to be a quadrapalegic, but because she thouht she was supposed to still be able to use her arms, she can.

Marglin, Elizabeth. "The PLACEBO Affect." Natural Health, , Vol. 40 Issue 5 (June 2010): p68-95. Health Source - Consumer Edition. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
Summary: The mind-body connection plays a huge — and hugely underestimated — role in our ability to heal ourselves. The placebo was very underestimated and thought to be bogus until the mid 1950's when studies were done and the affect of placebo's started to become taken seriously. "Salt injections masquerading as morphine actually decreased pain; fake knee surgery improved mobility in the joints. Conversely, "nocebo" effects (the unpleasant, and even harmful reactions that arise in a patient after taking a placebo as a treatment known to have negative side effects) also had to be considered." This article also talks about drug companies and how this would affect them. It refers to the fact that people are conditions, which is true, to reach for medicine and to of course only THINK IN THEIR MIND that a pill is the only thing that will save them.
Refliection: The Placebo affect is very helpful when it comes to backing up the law of attraction. The law of attraction is based on bringing what you think. Of course if you think the sugar pill is medicine it is definitely going work like medicine. The article also speaks of how when people see a doctor in their typical white coat they already start to feel better and less stressed, this wraps back to the law in a way that it is proven that stress creates disease so if you are taking something even though it doesn't have any medication in it you are creating a healthier you just by feeling better and less stressed. You are what you think.

Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.
The purpose of this article is to relay to people that in a time like this in our country when all you hear is words like debt, recession, low economy, you should shift your mind to think the opposite which should help your life to do the opposite of debt and recession. The audience of this article might be someone like me, doing research, or most likely someone who runs a business and is looking into the way the economy has affected people who now are lacking confidence to spend money on their business and take risks like they normally would. Given the information that I have provided to me about this author I can not say what her background is but considering the topic I dont believe that there are any biases. The only thing that could be considered is if maybe someone simply refused to believe that just an attitude could help a business.

Boe, John. "The Magic of Positive Thinking." American Salesman, Vol 54 issue 7(July 2009):PG 17-19. MasterFILE Premier. 3 NOV 2010.
The purpose of this article is to tell people the importance of having a positive attitude and how maintaining a calm focused, positive mind can some times be a challenge it is well worth the effort. You must focus on thinking positive even times where all your mind wants to do is think about the not so positive situation. this also includes staying away from people who are negative which can also be an obstacle depending on the part they play in your life. According to this article every bad situation has an opportunity, a way to perceive the event as good, a bright side to all dark spots. The audience of this article would be people who are either researching things that have to do with mental self help or people who are already very into metaphysical things, the power of the mind is not a secret anymore. I am not sure what the background to this author would be but he gives a recommendation to 10 different books that are about the power of positive thinking, creating success, and mind. Giving these books as a reference I think help me be confident in the article because I can then go and look at 10 different books to read how they would explain the same thing. I dont think there is any biases in this other then the fact that the author believes that the mind can affect life in either negative or positive ways where as someone else might believe you have no control over the situations you encounter in your life.

Pitts, Willis. Cancer and the Power of Positive Thinking. Total Health, Vol. 15 Issue 3,(JUNE 93): PG38. Health Source - Consumer Edition. 29 oCT 2010.
The purpose of this article is to bring people to awareness about the immune system, its cause when its weak and how your attitude plays an affect. They do a very good job of introducing all the information, starting with cancer statistics and then talking about how cancer starts (break down of immune system) and then talking about what major things affect the immune system. They talk about how it is proven that the immune system is improved with a good attitude, good self esteem, and very little stress. The audience for this article could be people who are interested in the mind and how it affects health overall, the audience could be people who are battling health problems and are seeking natural treatment and cures. I feel confident in this article because they reference their sources and have a lot of factual statistical information to analyze the situation. I do not know anything about the author but I feel that they have a very professional tone in this article which also increases my level of confidence in it.

It has been proven that the immune system is improved with good self esteem, happiness, and an over all positive thinking.
Reflection: I like this article just because it is a scholarly source to show what I already knew. The movie The Secret features a lady who got breast cancer and was cured within 3 months with no treatment except for laughter and positive thnking. Its proven that stress creates disease, which makes sense if the immune system can be improved with positive thinking then the immune system can be put down by negative thinking. I personally know a person who was paralized, they told her her level of severity which would be from right below the arms down, 3 months later looking at those x rays again realizing that they diagnosed her wrong, and she is was supposed to be a quadrapalegic, but because she thouht she was supposed to still be able to use her arms, she can.

Marglin, Elizabeth. "The PLACEBO Affect." Natural Health, , Vol. 40 Issue 5 (June 2010): p68-95. Health Source - Consumer Edition. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
Summary: The mind-body connection plays a huge — and hugely underestimated — role in our ability to heal ourselves. The placebo was very underestimated and thought to be bogus until the mid 1950's when studies were done and the affect of placebo's started to become taken seriously. "Salt injections masquerading as morphine actually decreased pain; fake knee surgery improved mobility in the joints. Conversely, "nocebo" effects (the unpleasant, and even harmful reactions that arise in a patient after taking a placebo as a treatment known to have negative side effects) also had to be considered." This article also talks about drug companies and how this would affect them. It refers to the fact that people are conditions, which is true, to reach for medicine and to of course only THINK IN THEIR MIND that a pill is the only thing that will save them.
Refliection: The Placebo affect is very helpful when it comes to backing up the law of attraction. The law of attraction is based on bringing what you think. Of course if you think the sugar pill is medicine it is definitely going work like medicine. The article also speaks of how when people see a doctor in their typical white coat they already start to feel better and less stressed, this wraps back to the law in a way that it is proven that stress creates disease so if you are taking something even though it doesn't have any medication in it you are creating a healthier you just by feeling better and less stressed. You are what you think.

The purpose of this article is to relay to people that in a time like this in our country when all you hear is words like debt, recession, low economy, you should shift your mind to think the opposite which should help your life to do the opposite of debt and recession. The audience of this article might be someone like me, doing research, or most likely someone who runs a business and is looking into the way the economy has affected people who now are lacking confidence to spend money on their business and take risks like they normally would. Given the information that I have provided to me about this author I can not say what her background is but considering the topic I dont believe that there are any biases. The only thing that could be considered is if maybe someone simply refused to believe that just an attitude could help a business.

The purpose of this article is to tell people the importance of having a positive attitude and how maintaining a calm focused, positive mind can some times be a challenge it is well worth the effort. You must focus on thinking positive even times where all your mind wants to do is think about the not so positive situation. this also includes staying away from people who are negative which can also be an obstacle depending on the part they play in your life. According to this article every bad situation has an opportunity, a way to perceive the event as good, a bright side to all dark spots. The audience of this article would be people who are either researching things that have to do with mental self help or people who are already very into metaphysical things, the power of the mind is not a secret anymore. I am not sure what the background to this author would be but he gives a recommendation to 10 different books that are about the power of positive thinking, creating success, and mind. Giving these books as a reference I think help me be confident in the article because I can then go and look at 10 different books to read how they would explain the same thing. I dont think there is any biases in this other then the fact that the author believes that the mind can affect life in either negative or positive ways where as someone else might believe you have no control over the situations you encounter in your life.

The purpose of this article is to bring people to awareness about the immune system, its cause when its weak and how your attitude plays an affect. They do a very good job of introducing all the information, starting with cancer statistics and then talking about how cancer starts (break down of immune system) and then talking about what major things affect the immune system. They talk about how it is proven that the immune system is improved with a good attitude, good self esteem, and very little stress. The audience for this article could be people who are interested in the mind and how it affects health overall, the audience could be people who are battling health problems and are seeking natural treatment and cures. I feel confident in this article because they reference their sources and have a lot of factual statistical information to analyze the situation. I do not know anything about the author but I feel that they have a very professional tone in this article which also increases my level of confidence in it.

Arntz, William, Dir. "What the Bleep do we Know." Dir William Arntz.
Roadside Attraction: 2006, DVD.
The movie What the Bleep do we Know is a metaphysical concept based movie that concentrates on quantum physics. This movie concentrates widely on the power of the mind and how it affects the body on the inside and out. Also how it affects situations in the outer world and how you control it with your most dominant thoughts feelings and actions.
I mainly would like to concentrate on their experiment on water. They put water under a microscope that way they could look at the molecules and the structure they were in. First they had a priest bless the water, the molecules structure did change, it changed into a very symmetrical, organized, almost beautiful structure and shapes, as perfect as a snow flake. Then they took water and they did the opposite, they had very negative thoughts concentrated on the water and they wrote words like hate and anger on the container it was in. The water molecules then again changed structure and this time it was very unorganized, almost chaotic looking. According to ga.water.usgs.gov our body is made up of an average of 70% water. If we have proven that thoughts can change the physical structure of water, imagine what we could do for our bodies by the way we think and feel about ourselves.
The mind is amazing.

Rough Draft
Have you ever noticed that some people just have really bad lives? Maybe they are late all the time, constantly hitting on the red lights and traffic. Inconvenient situations constantly coming into their life. You know they are broke all of the time because they constantly talk about it. Maybe you know someone who is the complete opposite, good situations and good people constantly there at the right time. They are always happy and you can really see that because they have a really happy life. Have you ever wondered if there is a reason why some people have great lives and some people just not so much? Just maybe, we are in control.
I would like to talk about the Law of attraction. Starting with what it is, some science behind it, some popular concepts and a personal experience of a friend of mine's.
The concept of the Law of Attraction states: like attracts like. Your most dominant thoughts feeling and actions are exactly what you get over and over and over again.
So we still start with some science. According to ezinearticles.com Einstein's e=mc2 talks about the relationship between energy and matter. Basically me, you and the computer you are looking at are made up of exactly the same thing; little particles of vibrating energy constantly moving, interchangeable and always in motion. Then we have the Law of Gravity, the law of gravity is gravitational pull of matter to matter, or according to Newton- every massive particle attracts every other massive particle. So anything that is matter has a gravitational pull to matter, which is exactly the way the orbital system of the universe works. According to the Smithsonian institute thoughts can be measured, which they are mass and energy too. Therefor; thoughts attract matter.
There are quite a few popular concepts that are the Law of Attraction at work. For instance the placebo affect. When someone is given a sugar pill for instance but is lead to believe that it contains medicine. Because one believes that it is their medicine it works just like their medicine would. Often times when the subject is aware of any side affects the drug may have those will also accompany the sugar pill. According to skepdic.com there is no adequate evidence to show that new medicines are any more affective then placebos.
You may have also heard that stress creates disease. It is proven that stress breaks down the immune system and that has been known since the early nineteen hundreds. The breakdown of the immune system doesn't only stop your body from fighting off bacteria and viruses that it should be able to fight off but it also is the first step to the development of cancer. According to a movie call What the Bleep do we Know, there was an experiment done on water. They put water under a microscope to look at the molecules, they had a priest bless the water. The molecules then moved into a very organized almost beautiful structure. They then did the same thing except that projected negative thoughts towards the water and even wrote things like "anger" and "hate" on the container. The molecules then restructured only this time it was a very unorganized almost chaotic structure. According to ga.water.usgs.gov our bodies are made up of an average of 70% water. If it is proven that our thoughts can change the structure of water imagine what you can do to your own body just by the way you feel and think of it.
I would like to talk about an experience of a women named Caeri Baker. She had a tattoo on her back that said "insert knife here" with a large X under it. She got into a very bad dirt biking accident. The doctors did have to insert a knife right into the large X. Coincidence, maybe- but that's not all. Caeri also had a false diagnosis that changed her life. The doctors told Caeri that was a paraplegic, therefor; she thought she could not move her legs. Come to find out, she was supposed to be diagnosed as quadraplegic. Because she thought that was supposed to be able to use her arms, she could. The mind is a powerful thing.
No body likes to think that they are the reason for all the negative things in their life. If people would understand the concept of positive thinking and realize that the control you have over your life is actually a real universal law maybe less people would have such not so good lives and more great successful happy lives. There is probably a reason why 10% percent of the population of the world has 80% of the worlds money. The hardest part of this concept is believing it. Trying to attract something into your life for your benefit is something you must do with out doubt, if not, you will only attract something to doubt.

According to skepdic.com there is no adequate evidence to show that new medicines are any more affective then placebos.
You may have also heard that stress creates disease. It is proven that stress breaks down the immune system and that has been known since the early nineteen hundreds. The breakdown of the immune system doesn't only stop your body from fighting off bacteria and viruses that it should be able to fight off but it also is the first step to the development of cancer. According to a movie call What the Bleep do we Know, there was an experiment done on water. They put water under a microscope to look at the molecules, they had a priest bless the water. The molecules then moved into a very organized almost beautiful structure. They then did the same thing except that projected negative thoughts towards the water and even wrote things like "anger" and "hate" on the container. The molecules then restructured only this time it was a very unorganized almost chaotic structure. According to ga.water.usgs.gov our bodies are made up of an average of 70% water. If it is proven that our thoughts can change the structure of water imagine what you can do to your own body just by the way you feel and think of it.
I would like to talk about an experience of a women named Caeri Baker. She had a tattoo on her back that said "insert knife here" with a large X under it. She got into a very bad dirt biking accident. The doctors did have to insert a knife right into the large X. Coincidence, maybe- but that's not all. Caeri also had a false diagnosis that changed her life. The doctors told Caeri that was a paraplegic, therefor; she thought she could not move her legs. Come to find out, she was supposed to be diagnosed as quadraplegic. Because she thought that was supposed to be able to use her arms, she could. The mind is a powerful thing.
No body likes to think that they are the reason for all the negative things in their life. If people would understand the concept of positive thinking and realize that the control you have over your life is actually a real universal law maybe less people would have such not so good lives and more great successful happy lives. There is probably a reason why 10% percent of the population of the world has 80% of the worlds money. The hardest part of this concept is believing it. Trying to attract something into your life for your benefit is something you must do with out doubt, if not, you will only attract something to doubt.

I like would like to talk about a friend of mine. She got a tattoo on her back that said "Insert knife here" with a large X. She got into a dirt bike accident and they just so ironically had to insert the knife right there, talk about calling the universe. A false diagnosis changed her life. They told her that she was a paraplegic, therefor; she thought that she could not move her legs. Come to find out they were supposed to diagnose her as a quadraplegic, Of course because she thought she could move her arms, she could.
I am also going to talk about the most recent of many times that I have use the law of attraction.
I was getting a new car and about a week before i was like OH SHIT I can not believe that I have not written down what I want yet. So I got my paper out and I started writing over and over again.. the perfect car for the perfect price the perfect car for the perfect price. then I started to write all of the features down. I wrote the following things multiple times.
It has low mileage
It has seat warmers
It's comfortable
It is new
It is has a sun roof
It is fun to drive
I am going to finance it all by myself(i had only had a credit card for 3 months with only a $500 limit= no credit)
over and over I wrote that and I honestly believed that I would have it.
So I went to this little sort of dinky dealership. I am looking around and looking at prices. The guy started to tell me how he got 4 cars in that same morning. He brought out one that he thought I would like, it was nice, black accord with 29,0000 miles on it, but he had mentioned something earlier about a really nice one he had got that morning, I asked him to see it before saying anything about the car in front of me. He pulls it around, looks nice.
19000 miles
seat warmers
Leather sears
2007
sun roof
V6
I knew it was mine.
It was priced at $14,900,
$6000 under bluebook.
oh yeah. and somehow... I got financed all by my little no credit self :)

Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.
Summary: Recession proof your mind. When the world is talking about a recession you should think the complete opposite. Rich people have developed a habit of always thinking big and knowing they are rich. The articles refers to the movie THE SECRET, and talks about how you receive what you think, therefor if you open up a bill and you think debt, you will get more debt.
Reflection: I love finding all these articles that talk about things that are the law of attraction but in different words. readind more about things like this it makes me think about how i see it in my everyday life and how i know people in my life who really have no money, and i just so happen to hear them talk about how broke they are all the time, If only they started to think they were getting rich. I am going to now go read the movie "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind."

Boe, John. "The Magic of Positive Thinking." American Salesman, Vol 54 issue 7(July 2009):PG 17-19. MasterFILE Premier. 3 NOV 2010.
SUMMARY: This article does not say that positive thinking will manifest a positive situation but what it does say is that any situation you are in can be positive depending on how you are perceiving the situation. It says that it depends on you to be aware of your attitude and to try not to have negative minded people. You will be a failure if failure is what you think. You are what you think.
Reflection: I really love how it says the key is to look for opportunity. I think it was very effective when he gave the quote from Thomas Edison "There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start anew." after a building with 2,000,0000 of equipment of his was burned down. Learning to use the Law of Attraction doesnt work if you can not learn to change situations that you would normally perceive as bad into something good. every door that closes, another one opens.

SUMMARY: This article refers to when the Law of Attraction was referred to the New Thought Movement which was the late 1800's and the early 1900's, it began after the discovery of what disease can to your body and it became an entire movement. There were conventions held and the international new thought movement alliance was formed. It was a new approach on life and conduct. The new thought movement had people like ralph waldo trine who later became well known.
Reflection: The more I research the more names I find for the law of attraction. I like to find things from a long time ago. The law of attraction to a lot of people they have to TRY to believe it, me I have proven it to myself so many times over the past few years that I know it's true, so finding articles like this to show that there was once a movement in a time like that is very rewarding.

Pitts, Willis. Cancer and the Power of Positive Thinking. Total Health, Vol. 15 Issue 3,(JUNE 93): PG38. Health Source - Consumer Edition. 29 oCT 2010.
Summary: This article speaks of cancer and the severity of it. It talks about how at this time on average cancer took a life every single minute. It was highest killer of kids from age 3 to 14. As much money and effort that is put into finding a cure for cancer there is still no luck, and no matter what awesome thing the world does the cure for cancer is not one of them. This article talks about how the first step for the development of cancer is the break down of the immune system. It has been proven that the immune system is improved with good self esteem, happiness, and an over all positive thinking.
Reflection: I like this article just because it is a scholarly source to show what I already knew. The movie The Secret features a lady who got breast cancer and was cured within 3 months with no treatment except for laughter and positive thnking. Its proven that stress creates disease, which makes sense if the immune system can be improved with positive thinking then the immune system can be put down by negative thinking. I personally know a person who was paralized, they told her her level of severity which would be from right below the arms down, 3 months later looking at those x rays again realizing that they diagnosed her wrong, and she is was supposed to be a quadrapalegic, but because she thouht she was supposed to still be able to use her arms, she can.

Marglin, Elizabeth. "The PLACEBO Affect." Natural Health, , Vol. 40 Issue 5 (June 2010): p68-95. Health Source - Consumer Edition. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
Summary: The mind-body connection plays a huge — and hugely underestimated — role in our ability to heal ourselves. The placebo was very underestimated and thought to be bogus until the mid 1950's when studies were done and the affect of placebo's started to become taken seriously. "Salt injections masquerading as morphine actually decreased pain; fake knee surgery improved mobility in the joints. Conversely, "nocebo" effects (the unpleasant, and even harmful reactions that arise in a patient after taking a placebo as a treatment known to have negative side effects) also had to be considered." This article also talks about drug companies and how this would affect them. It refers to the fact that people are conditions, which is true, to reach for medicine and to of course only THINK IN THEIR MIND that a pill is the only thing that will save them.
Refliection: The Placebo affect is very helpful when it comes to backing up the law of attraction. The law of attraction is based on bringing what you think. Of course if you think the sugar pill is medicine it is definitely going work like medicine. The article also speaks of how when people see a doctor in their typical white coat they already start to feel better and less stressed, this wraps back to the law in a way that it is proven that stress creates disease so if you are taking something even though it doesn't have any medication in it you are creating a healthier you just by feeling better and less stressed. You are what you think.

The law of attraction is supposed to be as apparent as the law of gravity, everyone knows if you drop something it falls, if you jump off of something, you land. how can attracting something to you using your thoughts and feelings be as obvious as something like gravity? if you can attract everything that you want into your life then why are there people who do not have good lives? why are there so many people who do not know about this?
the law of attraction is an amazing power with perfect accuracy. whether it is green lights, a parking spot, or a new car with all of the features you want in it for a price one would think you could not get.. using your thoughts, your actions and most certainly your feelings you will bring those things to you, if i am thinking about how mean the person is that i just talked to on the phone at work i am going to be sending out a negative feeling wich in the end will only bring me more negativity whether it is tomorrow or next week.
the law of attraction can be explained through science, newton who is very well known has very corresponding laws, like the law of motion, all matter in the world including me adn you are made up of vibrating energy, constantly moving, constantly changing, we shed thousands and thousands of skin cells off of ourselves everyday and they renew with no effort. the law of attraction is like attracts like. it as been proven that thoughts can be measured and are on a frequency so to speak, there for they are matter as well - they are their own energy - there for if like attracts like then your thoughts will attract like things
perspective from the kid i am sitting next to on the law of attraction (kevin)
"i stand by the law of attraction, i dont call it the law of attraction, i call it karma. i believe if you are a good person and you do good things that good things will happen to you. if you are bad and you surround yourself with bad things you are defintitely bringing in a negative energy."
perspective from sherolyn (co worker)
"the law of attraction has a huge affect on things i have done in my life- whenever i want something really bad i put my entire intention out to the law and once i do that it always comes my way as long as i do not fight the process or fight what the universe is trying to tell me. yesterday on oprah there is a mom and a dad - (i believe in reincarnation), you have an option- this family was driving - all 3 children in back seat - semi hits back of car and all 3 children died- 1 year later exactly from when the kids died the couple got pregnant with triplets - i think of reincarnation when i thinks of the law of attraction"
me-I have used the law of attraction for so many things since i learned about it 4 years ago. i started by practicing on green lights- then bigger things - my job - my grades, my weekends, parties, boyfriends, and now at this point i make extremely good money, i got an amazing car with all of the features i wanted for $6000 under bluebook pricing. i have an amazing relationship with the love of my life. :)

Research Guide
What do you already know?
I know that the law of attraction is as apparent as the law of gravity and that those two laws are related. I Know that philosophers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Einstein have used the law of attraction. I know that it is referenced in quotes from Jesus and Buddha.
What questions do you have about the issue?
How is it exactly proven in science? How far can this power reach, is there any limits to what you can bring to yourself.
Who is interested in this issue?
People who are spiritual, people who like quantum physics, people who believe in the power of their mind being more powerful then it's used.
Where do people read,write, talk about this issue?
websites, forums, books, movies (the secret, the lost symbol, what the bleep do we know?)
Where will you look to find your secondary sources?
movies, books, websites, videos
Are you going to conduct primary research? if so, how?
I am very experienced with the law of attraction and have used it many times so i will probably use my own personal experiences. I also know people who have used it so I might do interviews
Create a time line - schedule for completing your research:
I work full time and I also go to school full time so most of my research will be done inbetween classes and on weekends. just being honest dont have specific times.

The Phillip Morris add was published in 1955. A young girl is the center of this add, she has the look of what would have been considered very popular and attractive at that time. She has short hair done up in a bob, high cheek bones, long eye lashes and full sexy lips, beautiful features that come with being young and youthful. The cigarette add is colorful, but in a very classy way, the model looks as if she is in a blissful state of mind, almost as if nothing in her life could go wrong. The colors are to attract youth, they actually remind me of a little kids bedroom which is sort of creepy in subliminal genius way. If you are some high and mighty money hungry cigarette company owner you will love to have young kids looking at a cigarette add that looks like a coloring book, start them off young. When you look at the CigarLet add which is geared towards "men" not boys or girls you will see that it is much darker, the edges are darkened and it doesn’t have a feel of mild and gently, everything is more bolded and has an old fashion look. The Cigarlet model doesn't look blissful he has an exterior of a hard, sort of hostile "manly man".
"For those with keen, young tastes" this add is meant to give one the feeling that if they are smoking PHILLIP MORRIS they will look younger, feel younger, or maybe just been seen as having the taste of what someone in the prime of their youth would have, being young and beautiful is something that is admired. The Cigarlet add is meant to be more masculine- with dark colors and a man as the main view, he has this sort of "bad ass" smirk on his face. The advertisements are repetitive for what they are gearing towards "a smoke to please a man" in the beginning and "a smoke to please a man" at the end- there are only a few lines in-between; the Phillip Morris add also says the word "young" twice - with not much in-between. In the description of the cigarettes it reads "...with its qualities of gentleness and delicate flavor. These qualities tell why PHILLIP MORRIS has made so many friends among young smokers- with their fresh unspoiled tastes" So the company is saying that not only will these cigarettes taste good to you if you are a young person but that young people have already jumped on the band wagon and began smoking these cigarettes by finding out for themselves. It is a bit creepy but this add can definitely pull in both young and older people. Young kids could use this add as an excuse to try cigarettes or to justify smoking them at a young age - and then of course to older people, they want to be young, they want their youth back - so here is how.
What stands out to me in the Cigarlet add is the tone of the picture, it reminds me of a gangster movie for some reason, bad ass with his "cigarlet"- his women comes over and lights it with a candle because he is such a bad ass so that he only like his cigs lit with a candle stick. This is a very different impression then the one I get when I first look at the 'this is subliminal for kids to pick up smoking now' add " makes PHILLIP MORRIS naturally gentle and mild" - "naturally" - giving the idea that the tobacco naturally tastes gentle and it naturally tastes mild - it naturally tastes different then all the other brands and it must have natural ingredients too.
Both adds featured has the name of the brand in BOLD to make it stand out even when you are reading other words.
Overall I think there is a very good possibility that both adds were very affective in trapping minds of both a young and a old crowd into the nicotine world.

Reality at Different Angles
Reality is Up to You
Jose Chung said, "Truth is as subjective as reality." So what is reality? Is it truth to all, or is it different to every person perceiving it? Can something untrue to one person be truthfully true to another person? When someone refuses to believe something, what they are believing will be their reality, whether it happened or not.
Throughout the episode of "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" you are challenged to think of what really happened to a young couple while listening to several very conflicting point of views.
Agent Scully can be considered very close-minded in this situation. There was a possible alien abduction of a young boy and girl named Chrissie and Harold, and Agent Scully is the most skeptical, she would rather play this off as a story meant to cover up for the truth the teenagers do not want to tell. Every time that something is brought up in the case suggesting that aliens abducted the couple she has a counter act to suggest the opposite, she refused to except it could even be a possible conclusion. Agent Scully had an odd experience that one would think would change her mind. She experienced an amount of elapsed time that she had no recollection of, this is common for supposed alien abductees to experience but since she is so set in her mind that that could not happen there is no way her mind would let her think that could be a possibility of reality. There was even a witness to tell her everything that happened; not just any witness, her long time partner who she should be able to trust. She would think he is off the wall for what he has to say before she could ever come to terms with the denial she has of that even being possible. To her, her reality is quite more ordinary then a couple of men erasing her memory.
Agent Mulder on the other hand believes that not only is it extremely possible that the young boy and girl were abducted but that it most certainly did happen. Being a believer that an alien abduction is beyond just a possibility it is almost as if he wants it to be true. Everything that happens he can back up immediately by evidence that he has seen in similar cases in the past that he of course believes really happened. For example immediately after interviewing Chrissie he knows that she has 'Post Abduction Syndrome' though in context most of the questions he asked her could be common for someone going through a dramatic situation to experience. When told about the 'men in black' by a witness named Rocky, Agent Mulder immediately said that it is common for people who have a close encounter to meet these men who warn them about talking, again assuming he really did have a close encounter.
Blaine’s way of thinking is much different from Agent Mulder’s, other then the fact that he “knows” aliens are real. It does not matter what seems more plausible- it is whatever he has decided in his mind is real - it is exactly what he wants to happen. Reading his books he has become educated on life outside of earth and would love to be a part of it. He has an intense way of thinking and seems to see things as being more intense then it really is, almost shaping his reality with his attitude. When Blaine found the body of a supposed alien I am sure it was a dream come true, accompanied in this dream were 2 people dressed in all black more specifically an android and a man disguised as a women. Because Blaine has done so much research on aliens he thinks he is an expert and his thoughts come out almost as a conspiracy. Reality to Blaine is much more distorted because of his intense views and strong beliefs as to what would happen to him in a world filled with aliens. What seems to be a shift in physical reality for Blaine happens even with small details. Agent Scully, also known as the man disguised as a women, supposedly told Blaine in a stern voice “you never saw this, this did not happen, you are a dead man.” This is highly unlikely considering Agent Scully is a major skeptic and already assumes that the alien body is not real, her strong belief system would not let her think any different until proved wrong. Whether Agent Scully said that to Blaine or not, of course it is not a coincidence that Agent Mulder would also tell him he would be a dead man if he told anyone about his tape because that’s just how Blaine’s life goes. Everything in this boys mind seen as reality is shaped by the way he perceives the situation; with ever step in the case Agent Mulder's reality is shaped by what he believes can and has already happened in the past; everything in Scully’s situation is played off as something logical, because of what she believes.
This episode really shows you how this can happen in every day life. When people have beliefs it is hard for them to see past them, as if past experiences condition the way certain situations are perceived therefore multiple people could see one thing completely different then the other. Though the word “reality” would make one think of something that is real, reality is what happened, or what is true. It can definitely be argued that reality is subjective to each individual person therefor not necessarily true because what seems to be true to one person can be completely wrong to another person. When this happens and those people have conflicting points of view it can be hard for the human mind to except that reality to them might have been slightly altered because of what they already believe. Though, after all, if we were not experiencing and perceiving something, then there would be nothing to call reality.
The Store for Anyone :)
Standing kitty corner, past the cars waiting for me to cross I could see many people congested between white topped tent covers, I can hear faint blue-grass styled music coming from what sounded like a live band. Most people you mention the Farmers Market to will tell you that they go every Saturday of the season, even if it is just to see "what's going to be at the Farmer's Market today?" When I first entered the “market” I had to make a very serious decision, what do I look at first? The Farmers market is filled with so much of a variety that there is sure to be something of interest for ever person attending.
Some people come to the Farmer's Market just for fresh vegetables and fruits, you really can not go wrong with home grown. You can find the darkest red cherries, they are so juicy and potent they will stain your fingers when you take a bite. There is a man in overalls, he has that typical farmer look to him, long gray beard and accent that would make you think Tooele is in a different state. Lets call him John. Farmer John was the master of home made salsas. There were people swarmed around his area which was set up with samples, he had everything you could think of from Mild to Jalapeño to Tamatillo Avocado, about 10 different kinds lined up in a row. “Very few people taste them, and walk away without buying them,” said Farmer John with a proud smile on his face.
For a large portion of the female "species" there is an interest to jewelry that they are born with. Here you can find homemade jewelry, this can be very inviting because often times that means it will be one of a kind. You can find very 'interesting' jewelry, jewelry I am sure that only very 'interesting' people would wear. Big and gold, gaudy as hell, gargantuan charms to go on necklaces, like hands, dragons, and bleeding hearts even all in one. The lady at this particular jewelry stand had long dark hair and dark eyes bold-ed all the way around with thick purple eyeliner. She wears multiple rings on each finger. She had what looked like ten different gold chains on her neck with one large charm. The charm itself looked like a tree branch growing out of her neck, it had a hand coming out of the end of it holding what I suppose was supposed to be a crystal ball. Do not be alarmed though if this sounds to extravagant for you rest assured you could walk around for five more minutes and find some, what most would call, normal jewelry. Dainty and cute, accompanied by stylish feathered headbands and scarfs that can be used for skirts.
One of the things that makes it such a welcoming environment is that more people will bring their dogs then they will bring their kids. Greeted by people in blue shirts that reads “Best Friends Animal Adoption,” be prepared to be sucked into instant "mushy puppy breath love land". Puppies and even full grown dogs socializing wear little aprons on their back that read “Adopt me.” they’ll make you think twice about what it would be like to have them in your family. Sure to catch your eye because he is most likely bigger then you, a gold colored mastiff mix with slobber coming out of both sides of his mouth, his eyes drooping downward but he still looks like he he smiling, how could you not fall in love.
Filled with entrepreneurs with all different talents in making, and growing; all around creating. Very good vibes coming from everyone, a social environment where people just want to share what they can offer and you can really feel that. It is hard to concentrate on one thing in this environment because there is just that much you want to see and experience. Walking away you still hear and feel the very social and worry free vibe of the Farmer's Market. I often times leave the Farmers Market with nothing but a smile, I love going there to see what there is too see, there are always interesting people as well, it can be different every time.
