A Note from Enzo's Dad...WATCH ENZO ON ELLEN TOMORROW!!!

Ruth

First, I apologize for the frequency of E-mails this week. But this is too good to keep to myself!

Enzo, Heidi and I just flew back from Burbank, California late last night were Enzo made an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show along with James Taylor. We got THE CALL right after I sent the last e-mail and we had to leave the next morning! Nuts.

The show airs tomorrow on NBC at 9am.

He mostly giggled through the spot but it was still very entertaining. They had a multitude of critters for him there - pythons, tarantulas, lizards, frogs, etc. but he was so excited and distracted he didn't really have a chance to show off that amazing brain of his. Either way, a great experience for all of us.

This is from the Ellen DeGeneres web site:

Friday, November 16
JAMES TAYLOR
You can't miss the super spectacular Game Week grand finale! I can't tell you what the prize is, but I can tell you that it's worth over $17,000! And don't forget, you the home viewer can win the exact same prize! We are pulling out all the stops! And when it's all over ...we'll put the stops back in for the next time. Then, for more than 40 years we have loved everything he's ever sang and written, and he just keeps getting better. Multiple Grammy Award winner JAMES TAYLOR will join me. We'll talk about the ups and downs of his lifetime of music, how at age 59 he works up the energy to handle his 6-year-old twin boys, Henry and Rufus Logan. And, James will sing "Sweet Baby Jane" from his upcoming CD "One Man Band." Plus, you'll meet 7 year-old ENZO MONFRE from Austin, TX. Enzo is an expert on insects and reptiles, and his show on Youtube has become an instant sensation.

I think we'll be hearing a lot more about Enzo in the coming weeks!


Sincerely,

Pete Monfre

21 Days of Gratitude

Dear Friends,

We all know that "Gratitude" is a powerful accelerant for all "law of attraction" processes.

When the teachers from The Secret came together to speak with Oprah, Dr. Michael Beckwith explained that "nothing new can come into your life until you are grateful for what you have."

In November, the month in which Americans traditionally reserve a day to focus on "gratitude," the founders of "Prosperity from the Inside-Out" would like to invite you to take the experience of "gratitude" further by participating in our free 21 Days of Gratitude project (officially beginning 11/19/07 - so that we can have our gratitude vibration in high gear by Thanksgiving!)

If you've participated in any of our previous free online "experiments" you know that powerful shifts always take place. (Follow any of the above hyperlinks to learn more participants' responses.)

Here is what you can expect from this experience:

You'll be encouraged to focus on gratitude for five minutes a day over the course of 21-days.

You'll be introduced to online assessments that you can use to: measure your gratitude vibration at the beginning (and at the end) of the experience; measure changes in your "happiness" levels and track things that you are grateful for (plus you'll be able to access all of these web-based programs - for free - at any time in the future.)

You'll be immersed
in a community of people who are choosing to focus on gratitude via daily blog posts for the 21-days.

Plus, we will also offer enhanced opportunities: weekly live 30-minute "energy attunements" and hour-long group prosperity coaching accessible by phone and web simulcast (which will also be free for all interested participants.)


At ChoosingProsperity we have faith in the power of gratitude so we have created this free program to give you a rich experience of how valuable it is to bring the energy of gratitude to life.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." -- author Melodie Beattie

Find Tariq Baig!


On July 23, 2007 my boyfriend, Keith Hogan, discovered that his personal care attendant TARIQ BAIG had taken several checks and stamped his signature to them without Keith's knowledge or consent.

Keith was born with a form of Muscular Dystrophy known as Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Type II, which makes it difficult for him to move on HIS own. The fact of the matter is that he cannot use his hands, arms or legs, therefore needs assistance to do everything. Needless to say Tariq's crime has had serious repercussions throughout Keith's life.

The Austin Police Department arrested Tariq in September for the first charge and he made bail so he was released. The APD filed a second charge and they have not yet arrested him again. Since that charge was filed Tariq left the country to go to the Phillipines. He returned to the United States via his hometown of El Paso and we have been informed that he is planning to move to California, thereby attempting to escape justice for the crimes that he has committed against Keith. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN!

Please keep your eyes open for TARIQ IQBAL BAIG and, if you see him, contact the Austin Police Department Warrant Office between the hours of 7:30am – 5:30pm at (512)974-5299.

Another great reason to live in Austin...


Greenling Organic Delivery was founded by organic-loving folks who know a flavorful, pesticide-free apple when they taste one. They also know the importance of buying local, healing the environment, and creating a sustainable society.

Alan Barber Presents "Sixman, Texas"

Alan Barber has been working on this film as long as I've know him...it's truly a labor of love.

Across Texas, small communities are struggling to keep their schools and towns alive. For one, the bell has tolled as they graduate their last class, ending generations of local pride and continuity. For another, a Cinderella football season promises to keep hope alive...

It's time for Tessa's tale to be told!


In 1999 I was scheduled to speak in front of a group of educators in Austin Texas about creating fantastic presentations. Like most people, I was nervous and didn't sleep well the night before the presentation. In the pre-dawn hours I had a dream about a little girl who was scared of making a presentation and how she overcame that fear. After I awoke, I wrote the dream down and saw that it was a pretty cool little story.

Five years later, in 2004, I met a very talented artist named Margaret Burns. At the time we met she was pregnant with her first child and excited about bringing a little girl into the world. About 6 months after Mia was born, Margaret noticed the lack of books with the kind of messaging that she wanted to share with Mia as she grew older. I told her about my heroine, Tessa, and she became inspired to illustrate the story.

Fast forward to 2007. Margaret has another incredible daughter named Clara and our book is written, illustrated and ready to be brought to the world. We estimate that it will take $5000 to create the final press-ready proofs and develop a website from which Tessa can tell her first tale....with many more adventures to come!

I have created a Fundable project so that Tessa's tale can be told.

Margaret and I would appreciate you checking it out...and contributing if you can!

Thanks,

Ruth
