Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 +0100

In sickness and in health is a promise I made to my husband twelve years ago. However, I can honestly say that I made that vow in ignorance. Because, until the person you love is suffering, one can never truly understand what that means.

Tinnitus and the Law of Attraction

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0100

Just like the law of gravity the law of attraction is a natural law of the universe. Everyone is subject to its law whether they realize it or not.

The law of attraction has been proven to exist through the study of quantum physics. Quantum particles or sub-atomic particles are the smallest building blocks of the universe.
