I’m starting a new blog at justnothot.com. I’ve been reading a lot of reactions to hotenough.org, and they’re HILARIOUS! I really want to post people’s pics and thoughts on the site, and on any other site that rates people according to completely arbitrary guidelines.

I’ll be taking submissions in the next day or so.  Get ready! I think we’re going to have a blast!

So, what have you cooked up lately? I’ve been pretty damned productive (hee!) and driven, and I owe a lot of it to my patented Super Intention-Manifestation Master List.

You scoff! I’m telling you, though, as someone who is about as focused as a dried-out contact lense after a night of hard clubbing, that this technique put some real gas behind my requests.

So, what I did was this:

1. Started a word processing document. I titled it “What I’m Doing Now”.
2. At the top, type, “What I’m doing right now, with Spirit’s help and blessing:”
3. Follow that with a bulleted list of ALL of you intentions. Well, actually, try to keep it to one page. Mine is about 25 things.
4. The most important thing: write it in the present, because it’s already happening. Put that first and foremost. Make it a language all your own- call it, “Presentish” or something. Give me credit for it. For example: “Isiskali.com gets 2000 hits a day.” That was my one from three days ago. Well, between this and the other blog, that’s happened. It was in the making then, mostly because I did the work, wrote the words, and things fell together. That’s synchronicity, and that’s truly awesome.
5. At the very end, write in big, BIG letters: “I’m valuable, working for the benefit of all, and am happy and grateful. It’s already done.” Make it red, or some other catchy color. Remember, you still want everything on one page.
6. Print out two copies. Place one where you spend most of your day, and one near your bed.
7. First thing in the morning, at some point, read it out loud. I don’t care if you have to do it when you’re taking your AM whizz. Just do it, sell it to the universe, and sell it to yourself.
8. Read over it during the day as you go.
9. Check off things as they happen, and change them up. Try to keep your new intention in line with your old one. For instance, the number of hits I now want is 5000, not 2000.
10. Focus yourself, put action out there, and wait for things to fall into place.

It really is very simple. It pulls things into focus, reminds you of what you’re working towards, and gives you a nicely ordered list of goals. I love it. It makes me happy, and I’m seeing so much positive change! When you’re repeatedly drilling possibility into your head and reminding yourself that yes, this is what you’re living and breathing for, then you can’t help but act and do in a way that will make those things happen.

This, too, will make you see that what you have going for you is worth living for. See, you wouldn’t be able to write those things if you didn’t believe, on some level, that it’s possible. So, yeah, things can feel good if you’re down.

Let me know what you’re doing with this, and get back to me, y’all.

I was interviewed by Associated Press writer Daniela Flores for her article “Are You Hot Enough?”. It’s on NJ.com, and it may go national. I’ve now been told that the article was also mentioned on Tom Leykis’ talk show, and there’ll be more interviews.

Wow. Go figure.

Anywho, here’s the article, and here’s the original blog posting.

ETA: Yahoo News, too. Wow.

ETAA: Der Speigel. Welcome back from the flu, girlie.

In the course of my personal development journey on the Net, I’ve read many blogs and websites by other PD writers. They kinda, well, piss me off sometimes. A lot. With great force. Don’t get me wrong- I respect people’s viewpoints, and many times their advice is excellent. However, what they end up missing is the human factor. Many times, these gurus lack simple compassion and empathy.

On the Steve Pavlina boards, there are many PD writers, life coaches, and other professionals that post. It’s excellent; I highly recommend that you take a look at what’s going on over there. Many times, their thoughts and advice are on-point, thought-provoking, and honest.

A recent incident, however, made me stop and wonder where things went wrong.

Here, at long last, is Luscious Life. No, not Luscious Life with Isis Kali…just Luscious Life.

I’ve dropped the name because:

•  There is going to be another contributor to this blog.
• I’m standing the hell by what I say, name and all. I don’t need no stinking stage name, lol.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s move on to other things.

I’ve built the site using the very excellent Semiologic SEO-friendly template.  This is all the product of me learning CSS, XHTML, pHp (to an extent), Photoshop, SEO (search engine optimization), and gods-knows-what-else. This site is my baby, and I almost gave it up (that’ll be a posting for another day). Don’t give up!

You’re probably also thinking…what is it with all the ads and things? Well, don’t look now, but I’m also going to be adding a T-shirt shop, plus an Ebay and Amazon store. I am setting up several businesses that will end up garnering me an income, most of it passive.

I’m coming out of the pro blogger closet, dammit.

I want to be writing more. This site, unlike the other one, is updated three days a week. I’m writing a book, and there have been requests to write a book along the lines of what is on this site. That’s coming, too. But, I need time, and I’m not giving up my valuable time in trade for a buck. So, the Web is my livelihood, and I couldn’t be happier. But, that means that business and money will be going on here, too. I want to be stress-free enough to give you guys the best that I can, and that means setting up shop…sss.

I’ve dropped some of the older articles that weren’t really adding much to the site. The Inanna mythos will be up at the fiction blog, which is tentatively titled “Luscious Feast”.  The astrology and tarot stuff will be on tarotbytes.com.

Dealing with work and wealth, I’ve come to discover, have a LOT to do with personal development! It seems that I was hiding from honestly wanting prosperity, and thought that establishing that cash flow was dirty. Some people will think that earning from my writing here is skeezy. I hope that’s not the case, but they might. The cash, however, is never the issue. Paris Hilton would be a flaming hosebeast, rich or not.

So, you’ll be seeing articles here that reach out to entrepreneurs, investors, and wealth-builders who also want to make a difference in their world.  I hope to be a part of their lives, too! We can all learn from each other, and I think that you’ll be surprised at the things you learn about yourselves along the way.

Well, that’s that, folks. Till, well, tomorrow, I’m sure.
