			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>The title of this book: &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Millionaire Teacher</span>&#8221; caught my attention in a review by John Chevreau on Wealthy Boomer.</h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s a video of author Andrew Hallam to get a sense of who he is.</p>
<p><iframe src=" http://www.youtube.com/embed/qG8dXrwpHBQ?modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;hd=1&amp;rel=0" frameborder="1" width="410" height="238"></iframe></p>
<div id="attachment_918" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 150px">
	<a href="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bz1223million.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-918" title="bz1223million" src="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bz1223million-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Andrew Hallam</p>
</div>
<blockquote><p><strong>Millionaire Teacher | </strong><strong>Wealthy Boomer</strong> | Financial Post</p>
<p><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://g.etfv.co/http://opinion.financialpost.com/2011/12/21/millionaire-teacher/" alt="" /><span style="padding-left: 10px;"><a href="http://opinion.financialpost.com/2011/12/21/millionaire-teacher/" target="_blank">opinion.financialpost.com</a></span><span style="padding-left: 10px;">12/21/11</span></p>
<p>While he is Canadian, Hallam teaches in Singapore, where he does NOT enjoy a DB pension. So his tale of amassing $1 million before age 40 is a little more interesting than the average Canadian teacher arriving at Freedom 55 millionaire status solely by a DB pension. <strong>&#8230;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Chevreau describes how Hallam wrote the book from a hospital bed during a bout with cancer in 2009. It&#8217;s an informative article about an interesting man who created a 9 step method for teachers (who teach over seas) to create a retirement portfolio that makes sense.</p>
<p>This subject of financial intelligence for teachers reminds me of Robert Kiyosaki&#8217;s motivation to provide financial education to the masses. That motivation was seeing his father (the well paid head of the educational system in Hawaii) struggle with money throughout his life and particularly as he got older.</p>
<p>Hallam expands the idea of teaching the principles of financial intelligence to the world of educators. And from my reading of Robert Kiyosaki&#8217;s work, I&#8217;m certain that Kiyosaki would validate Hallam&#8217;s warning about financial services sales people.</p>
<p>And we at Healthy Welahty Boomer would add one more recommendation to Hallam&#8217;s advice to teachers:</p>
<p>Buy the<strong> </strong><strong>Cash Flow Board Game</strong> from Rich Dad Company and <strong>PLAY IT OFTEN</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>Healthy Wealthy Boomer Abundance Video</h2>
<p>Abundance is the natural default of the Universe only you would never know that watching CBS or CNN or reading the New York Times or the LA Times, attending most churches or listening to politicians, but it is anyway. We were born 100% worthy of anything and everything we desire.</p>
<p>I love the message and have had this on various blogs over the last five years.<br />
<iframe src=" http://www.youtube.com/embed/_lIMRKCYKxg?modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;hd=1&amp;rel=0" frameborder="0" width="410" height="238"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<h2>ABUNDANCE&#8230;</h2>
</blockquote>
<p>Enjoy the video and watch it occasionally to remind yourself that it&#8217;s cool to be rich and nobody else has to suffer because you are.</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;re supposed to be rich&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Abundance is awesome.</p>
<p>Here is a quote I first heard from Mae West in a movie one time:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor; rich is better”</strong></p></blockquote>
<div>
<blockquote><p>This insightful bit of personal financial wisdom has been credited to entertainer Sophie Tucker, comedian Joe E. Lewis, comedienne Fanny Brice, actresss Mae West and many others.</p>
<p>Beatrice Kaufman, the wife of playwright George S. Kaufman, definitely said it, recorded in print by New York entertainment columnist Leonard Lyons in the May 12, 1937 Washington (DC)<em>Post</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Source: <a href="http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/ive_been_rich_and_ive_been_poor_rich_is_better/">http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/ive_been_rich_and_ive_been_poor_rich_is_better/">entry/ive_been_rich_and_ive_been_poor_rich_is_better/</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I have never had a broke person give me a job when I need to work. There is nothing noble about suffering and poverty.  That is simply not true and is a distortion.</p>
<p>Money is cool. You can always have all you want and there will always be enough for everybody else.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>Healthy Wealthy Boomer: Dr. Mickey Barber is the CMO (Chief Medical Officer) and CEO of Cenegenics Carolinas.</h2>
<p>This is a very well done corporate &#8220;video business card or brochure&#8221; created by Charleston Magazine and yet it is good journalism. What this doctor (and others in the field of Age Management Medicine are doing) is appealing and is in alignment with the idea of disease prevenation versus disease management. So Dr Barber qualifies personally as a healthy wealthy boomer candidate and boomer role model.</p>
<p><iframe src=" http://www.youtube.com/embed/pHw1CKTnkCk?modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;hd=1&amp;rel=0" frameborder="0" width="410" height="238"></iframe></p>
<p>Focusing on prevention is a drum we have beating a long time and is a core principle in the Healthy Wealthy Boomer philosophy.</p>
<p>The aspect that appeals to me most about Dr. Barber is authenticity. Her work and her desire to practice A.M.M. (Age Management Medicine) has roots in her own experience. In her forties, as a practicing physician, she became ill and did not resolve her own illness until she had success with A.M.M. interventions.</p>
<p>Her program combines exercise, nutrition, lifestyle and hormonal balance for men and women. This emphasis is indicative of a shift in the field of anti-aging medicine from disease management to prevention. So a mainstream definition of longevity is gradually taking on new meaning. It is no longer just &#8220;staying alive longer&#8221; or life extension, it is also beginning to mean being healthy and vital while doing it. This is <strong>both</strong> a pleasing <strong>and</strong> positive mainstream medicine philosophical shift.</p>
<p>Watch her video and see if you agree that her authenticity comes through. It seems that Dr Barber is sincere and loves her work because she has personal experience with her methods. Also the technology Dr Barber uses in the clinic is state of the art and impressive. This appears to be a really good application of technology combined with preventive medicine and a big plus for boomer health.</p>
<p>Another way to &#8220;<strong>be-come</strong>&#8221; a healthy wealthy boomer.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>I AM Michael Barrett and I AM a Healthy Boomer.</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2><strong>Abundance Day for Baby Boomers&#8230;</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Saturday, September 24th was Abundance Day in our house and it was fun.</strong></p>
<p>We started the day with gratitude for all the things that are going right, the opportunities that keep coming our way, our health and recognizing the emerging abundance in our lives.</p>
<p>It was a spontaneous process that began in the morning starting with the daily email from Abraham-Hicks. The first part of the message was talking about releasing resistance, followed by this quote:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Most people do not expect their path to great abundance to be one of ease and of joy. They have been taught that struggle and hardship and sacrifice are requirements that must be met before the reward of great abundance can be realized.</p>
<p>Most do not understand that the very struggle they deliberately involve themselves in, in their quest for success and advantage, actually works against them.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Next we read a section in one of our favorite books reminding us to let our higher mind be the guide in our lives instead of our &#8216;little&#8217; mind that gets in the way.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 273px">
	<img class=" " src="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/images/davidmichaelatlanta2006390x312.jpg" alt="David Wood and Michael Barrett" width="273" height="218" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">David Wood and Michael Barrett Atlanta 2006</p>
</div>
<h2><strong>The Financial Lid</strong></h2>
<p>As we drove to replenish the coffee supply, we listened to an audio cd of a friend of ours who was talking about raising our financial &#8216;lid&#8217;. Our friend is David Wood who we met in 2005 while on staff for Peak Potentials. David was the head trainer at the time and as we worked a number of events with him grew to be friends.</p>
<p>In his description of a financial lid, David says to draw a box on a piece of paper and write the number down inside the box that describes your monthly income. Then he says to draw another box around the first one and write the same number in the outside box and then add a zero on the end.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 150px">
	<img class="  " title="David Wood Financial Lid Example" src="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/images/davidwoodfinancialcap150x79.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="79" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Financial Lid Example</p>
</div>
<p>For example, look at the image on the right. If your monthly income is 3500, put that number in the inner box. Next draw a second box around the first and put 35000 in the outer box. He said whatever we are making <strong>now</strong> is our financial lid and we need to expand our lid if we want to increase our income. If our lid is $1M a year, add a zero and make it $10 M a year in the outer box.</p>
<p>He reminded us that we have to expand our belief in our willingness <strong>both</strong> to be worthy <strong>and </strong>to accept the increased amount before we will receive it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an inspiring cd that has more meaning to us since David is a personal friend.</p>
<h2><strong>Removing Abundance Glitches</strong></h2>
<p>Next, we followed the &#8220;lid&#8221; exercise instructions on David&#8217;s cd and combined this with our knowledge as <a title="core health facilitator" href="http://corehealthfacilitator.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Core Health Facilitators</a> <strong>both</strong> to identify <strong>and</strong> remove any energy glitches around our &#8220;lid&#8221; using the DTQ process in comprehensive kinesiology.</p>
<p>Later that night, we went through the energy clearing process we use in our workshops to clean up any remaining distortions or resistance in our system and we could actually feel the difference.</p>
<h2><strong>The Cash Flow Board Game</strong></h2>
<p>Starting in the afternoon, we had a blast playing 3 full games of Cash Flow (the game developed by Robert and Kim Kiyosaki) with a dinner break in between the 2nd and 3rd games.</p>
<p>What a great day this turned out to be. What a stimulating and joyful experience. It provided an internal sense that we have finally cracked the internal abundance code and man does it feel good. It is part of our financial intelligence and wealthy boomer training.</p>
<p>Abundance day was inspiring.</p>
<p>What is more fundamental to wealth than being willing to receive our own abundance. We have decided to make one day a week Abundance Day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2><strong>Have you been to a Millionaire Mind Intensive yet? Every Healthy Wealthy Boomer should&#8230;</strong></h2>
<p>T. Harv Eker is still at it, producing one the greatest shows on earth. Since 2005, I&#8217;ve personally been in the room for the 3 day intensive MMI&#8217;s <strong>11 times</strong> in Seattle, LA, Dallas, Atlanta, Vancouver &#8211; BC, Secaucus NJ, Pasadena CA, Calgary Alberta, and recently in Tampa, Florida.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Sign up for</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">free</span> for a<strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a title="Millionaire Mind Intensive" href="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/millionaire-mind" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Millionaire Mind Intensive</span></a></span> </strong><span style="color: #000000;">near you.</span></span></p></blockquote>
<p>The first time in May 2005, I was absolutely blown away. So much so, that I went to work for the company the following week &#8211; one of the most interesting and challenging job experiences in my entire life. The experience changed my life and headed me in a totally new direction &#8211; for the better.</p>
<p>A couple of months ago, I went again &#8211; a bit older, more street wise and as a much more complete person than the first time I went. And it was still a really enjoyable, energizing and powerful experience &#8211; even though I knew exactly what to expect.</p>
<p>There is magic in the MMI. It charges you with energy and makes you walk away feeling like anything is possible. It brings out the best in people and helps people expand in a healthy, wealthy way.</p>
<p>In light of the tough economic cycle that we have been experiencing over the last few years, it is really refreshing to be in a room full of hundreds of people who are celebrating life with a <em><strong>can-do</strong></em> attitude. It is such a contrast from the daily downer coming out of Washington &#8211; or the media. You should go just to feel good, if nothing else.</p>
<p>It is high energy and life changing.</p>
<p>Many of us have been through some heavy stuff since 2007-8. Yet life goes on and things always get better when WE CHANGE INSIDE. Being involved with the company that puts on the MMI is exactly what prompted me to get more involved in self-development work and get my facilitator certification in <a title="Core Health Testimonials" href="http://corehealthtestimonials.com/category/core-health-testimonials/" target="_blank">Core Health</a> and <a title="Heart Forgiveness" href="http://heartforgiveness.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Heart Forgiveness</a>.</p>
<p>Now I get to help people change their lives for a living &#8211; not the same high energy pace of the MMI, but life changing, just the same, on a deep inner and energetic level.</p>
<p>There is still time to catch an MMI before the year is over &#8211; and believe it or not, it&#8217;s free.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the schedule for the remainder of the year:</p>
<h2>Sign Up for a <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a title="Millionaire Mind" href="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/millionaire-mind" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">2011 Millionaire Mind Intensive</span></a></span> Seminar while you can.</h2>
<h2>20/20 Hindsight Sucks&#8230;</h2>
<p>AVAILABLE DATES AND LOCATIONS</p>
<p>October 14 &#8211; 16 &#8211; Calgary, AB<br />
October 28 &#8211; 30 &#8211; Los Angeles, CA<br />
November 4 &#8211; 6 &#8211; Dallas, TX<br />
November 11-13 &#8211; Chicago, IL<br />
November 11-13 &#8211; Vancouver, BC<br />
November 18-20 &#8211; San Diego, CA<br />
November 18-20 &#8211; Denver, CO<br />
November 18-20 &#8211; New Jersey<br />
November 25-27 &#8211; Toronto, ON<br />
December 9 &#8211; 11 &#8211; Phoenix, AZ</p>
<p>If you want they also have VIP packages available that are cheap and it means you get to sit in the front &#8211; middle so you can see and hear better. Either way, it&#8217;s a great bargain and you won&#8217;t believe how awesome the <strong>3 day experience is for fre</strong>e until you try it. It just may be the impetus to put you on the road to financial intelligence in a new way.</p>
<p>You can sign up for the Millionaire Mind Intensive near you&#8230;</p>
<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll see you there, you never know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold;">What and Who We Listen to Is <span style="color: #ff0000;">Very Important</span> Right Now.</span></p>
<p>Are You Choosing Resolution or Conflict? Continuity or Disruption? Lack or Abundance?</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 276px">

	<p class="wp-caption-text">YOUR CAKE</p>
</div>
<p>Why not have YOUR CAKE and eat it too?</p>
<p>Why not choose resolution, continuity AND abundance? This is where our true strength lies.</p>
<p>There is a very large effort focused on creating the belief that we must either choose<strong> this</strong> or <strong>that</strong>. If you are not with us you are against us. If you choose this, you can not also have that.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 200px">
	<img title="Stacks of $100 Bills" src="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/images/100s_200x200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Your $100 Bills</p>
</div>
<p>And this effort has been in place for a long time.</p>
<p>The big issue with this idea is that it implies our authority comes from somewhere outside of ourselves and this is not true.</p>
<p>We are responsible for our own lives and our own choices. Nobody has the right to choose for us &#8211; <strong>ever</strong>. That&#8217;s what free will is about. Each of us has our own authority. We need to exercise it. We have gotten into the habit of looking outside for someone else&#8217;s approval:</p>
<ul>
<li>The government,</li>
<li>The medical community</li>
<li>The church</li>
<li>Our parents</li>
<li>The neighbors</li>
<li>Whomever or whatever&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s our call &#8211; not theirs.</p>
<p>Here are some <strong>NEW</strong> questions:</p>
<blockquote><p>WHY?<br />
Who came up with that absurdity?<br />
Why is it true?<br />
Why does it have to be <strong>this</strong> way <strong>or</strong> that?<br />
Why can&#8217;t we choose this <em><strong>AND</strong></em> that?</p></blockquote>
<p>Answer:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>We CAN. </strong>Somebody&#8217;s been conning us for a long time.</p>
<p>It is <strong>THE GREAT SCAM</strong> &#8211; the great scam for all seasons.</p></blockquote>
<p>Something dawned on me while watching a very poignant and powerful video this morning. The message was the same as the first time I had watched it &#8211; only this time <em><strong>I was different</strong></em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Something within me said: &#8221;You need to communicate this message. This is <em><strong>the message</strong></em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Somehow, it was clear that <strong>there is no:</strong> &#8220;either/or&#8221;. Our choices are not absolutes and there is no rule in the universe that says if you choose this, you can not also choose that.</p>
<p>There is <strong>either&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>and</p>
<p>There is <strong>either/and</strong>.</p>
<p>You can choose this <strong>AND</strong> that <strong>AND</strong> that <strong>AND</strong> whatever else you want. And by choosing one, you do not eliminate the other choice. You can go back and choose it again later or add it &#8211; <strong>OR NOT</strong>. It&#8217;s up to you.</p>
<p><strong>Either/Or</strong> is a fallacy. It&#8217;s a control game. Somebody made it up. It is not TRUE. Quit buying into it. Throw that rule out and let it decompose in your compost pile. Delete it from your thinking and your vocabulary. It is not law and never was.</p>
<p>We have been told and trained to believe that <em><strong>we can not</strong></em> have our cake and eat it too. What kind of crazy thinking created that idea? Of course we want to eat the cake. Why have it otherwise? Cake is for eating not looking at.</p>
<p>There is a grand effort to teach us that when we do challenge what we are being told, we are behaving in a way that <em><strong>unacceptable for the greater good</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Whatever happened to listening to different opinions and choosing for ourselves?</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t always this way. Questioning authority and challenging the status quo through thoughtful discussion and logical argument have historically been respected qualities among our greatest thinkers.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Here is a quote from Albert Einstein that seems to fit:</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Great spirits have always experienced violent opposition by mediocre minds.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Remember, you can always change your mind and we often do.</p>
<p>The big fallacy really is this. If you have abundance, someone else will have to have less.</p>
<p>WRONG ANSWER. There is abundance for everybody and anyone can choose it without penalizing anybody else.  Ignorance is not bliss and poverty is not a spiritual quality.</p>
<p>Abundance is. Wealth is a good thing. When we have more resources, we can help more people, our family and the community. We create more options for growth, expansion and improvement.</p>
<blockquote><p>Remember what Mae West said:</p>
<h2>“I&#8217;ve been rich and I&#8217;ve been poor. Believe me, rich is better.”</h2>
</blockquote>
<p>You can have your cake and eat it too. And you can try every flavor. Dig in.</p>
<p>Choose abundance. It is your right.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>I AM Michael Barrett, I AM a Core Health Facilitator and I Love Abundance.</strong></p></blockquote>

<p><strong>Grand  Master David  Harris Came to Town March 24</strong></p>
<p>and a lot of Baby Boomers who want to be a Healthy Boomer showed up. About 65 people made it to Radiance of Sarasota and we filled the space to capacity.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re excited for several reasons.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 27px;">Having an opportunity to host such an amazing guest is an honor and a rare experience.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 27px;">GM David was World Kumite Champion for two years, set a world record in brick </span>breaking, is a Grandmaster in 4 martial arts systems, a member of the Black Dragon Fighting Society, a Qigong Master,  a Martial Doctor and the youngest Grand Master in the world.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 28px;">People in attendance really liked GM David&#8217;s down to earth presence, humility,  great</span></p>
<div id="attachment_432" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 311px">
	<a href="http://tobehealthy.com/grand-master-david-SRC4U-software.htm" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-432" title="gmdavidsignup311x433" src="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/gmdavidsignup311x433.jpg" alt="" width="311" height="433" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">FREE TRIAL SRC4U</p>
</div>
<p>sense of humor, and the new <strong><a title="Grand Master David's SRC4U Qigong Enhancer" href="http://tobehealthy.com/grand-master-david-SRC4U-software.htm" target="_blank">SRC4U</a></strong> software he presented.</p>
<p><strong>← Try SRC4U Free. You&#8217;ll like it really.</strong></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 27px;">There is potential for many people to benefit as a result of this revolutionary and powerful technology.</span></p>
<p>Many of the attendees are current workshop participants (or graduates) of our Heart Forgiveness, Core Health and Funny with Money workshops.  They already knew who GM David is because we speak about him often in our workshops.</p>
<p>There is a definite connection between Core Health and GM David. He is a member of the Energy Essentials Applications Research team that played a key role in peer review and in an advisory capacity during the development of Core Health. We were introduced to him by Dr Ed Carlson, the founder of Core Health.</p>
<p>Yet the connection goes deeper than that. GM David noticed &#8211; in his work with Core Health students and facilitators over the last few years &#8211; that Core Health frees up  huge amounts of energy. This release makes it easier for him to do his job energetically and what might take him an hour to do in the past, might only take fifteen or twenty minutes with Core Health graduates.</p>
<p>Here is what he says:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I find Core Health and the Skills Development highly effective ways of inner purification, absolutely necessary to being optimally powerful from the inside, flowing into outer expression, in life, in martial arts, and in health.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>My Personal Experience With Grand Master David&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>In my personal case, GM David helped me with an energy issue that Dr Ed and I were unable to clear using Core Health, alone. In addition, on a physical level he helped me modify the bone alignment of my left wrist that I broke severely in 2003, reset a partially separated clavicle that had been out since 2006 and reset my left knee (that has been injured multiple times since 1971) to complete natural health.</p>
<p>This man gives 100% of himself to help others and humanity.</p>
<p><a title="Grand Master David" href="http://www.shunshentao.com/GMD-BIOpg.htm" target="_blank">Grand Master David</a> (&lt;== read more here) is a wonderful, charming and lively human being and an old soul.</p>
<p>After turning his primary efforts from fighting to healing, he has done amazing work as (what he calls) a martial doctor. In the time we have known GM David, he has done much to help many.</p>
<p><strong>If You Want to Be A Healthy Boomer, Study Qigong</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to energy, I have studied with two Qigong masters in the past, both exceptionally skilled, each in their own way. In my personal experience, GM David&#8217;s energy and power is both amazing and unparalleled.</p>
<p>This is compounded by his well delineated level of Spiritual development and accomplishment.</p>
<p><strong>SRC4U &#8211; Qigong Energy Enhancer</strong></p>
<p>In an effort to help as many people as possible &#8211; and to effectively multiply himself &#8211; GM David has been designing a new system of software that emulates and magnifies Qigong energy. This has been a monumental task over a 4 year period and is essentially a marriage of old &#8216;organic&#8217; qigong technology and 21st century technology.</p>
<p>He recently released the software, called SRC4U (spiritual real time correction), you can try his software for free &#8211; two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>a free version called Ultra Lite</li>
<li>a two week free trial of the Premium Version</li>
</ol>
<p>Go here to get the download links: <a title="Grand Master David SRC4U" href="http://tobehealthy.com/grand-master-david-SRC4U-software.htm" target="_blank">SRC4U</a></p>
<p>We have been running this software for about 2 weeks. It&#8217;s kind of like a genie in the lamp. It&#8217;s an amazing program that can help in many ways.</p>
<p>Spending an evening with GM David is an awesome experience in itself. He has a wide variety of life experience and is an interesting and compelling story teller. He is quite an accomplished man and a great guy.</p>
<p>If anyone knows how to teach us to be a Healthy Boomer, he does. He knows how to build a healthy wealthy boomer.</p>
<p>It is an honor to call Grand Master David my friend.</p>
<p>Please try out the software for yourself. There is no cost and after you use it a while, please come back to this blog and give us some feedback AS IN LEAVE A COMMENT.</p>
<p>People would like to hear what you have to say.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>Healthy Wealthy Boomer Authenticity</h2>
<h3><strong>Are you authentic?</strong></h3>
<p>Why is being authentic such a big deal and so appealing?</p>
<p>Because, authenticity is interwoven into our health and wealth as a fundamental ingredient of being a <a title="Healthy Wealthy Boomer" href="http://healthywealthyboomer.com" target="_blank">Healthy Wealthy Boomer</a>.</p>
<p>Authenticity is only difficult when you are<strong> trying</strong> &#8211; instead of <em><strong>being -</strong></em> authentic  and people see the difference. People know inherently when you are being real and coming from the heart. It&#8217;s something we read through all the unspoken things, intuitively.</p>
<p>Most people &#8211; who seem real &#8211; are.</p>
<p><strong>Expressing authenticity is also a sign of health.</strong></p>
<p>From personal observation, we watch time and again as participants in Core Health workshops and <a title="Heart Forgiveness Workshops" href="http://heartforgiveness.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/sarasota-heart-forgiveness-workshops-march-2011/" target="_blank">Heart Forgiveness workshops</a> release old baggage, trauma, confusion and emotional junk.  This happens through participating in the processes of the workshops which are designed to clean out the junk and leave the &#8220;good stuff&#8221;.</p>
<p>The result?</p>
<p>What&#8217;s left are the positives &#8211; the natural part in each of us.</p>
<p>Participants begin to reconnect to their inner core of health and to take their identity from within themselves &#8211; again &#8211; as they did when they were young children. In the process many rediscover their own authenticity.</p>
<p>Their individual-<em><strong>ness</strong></em> becomes more visible, active and available in their behavior and attitudes. It is as if a dormant computer program gets activated and the &#8220;real person&#8221; &#8211; the authentic version of themselves &#8211; steps forward to participate in life &#8211; again.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">Authenticity also is a big part of long term, healthy business relationships. </span></strong></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">It impacts people in business, customers who buy from us and most things financial. Integrity, trust, credibility and reliability are part of the picture. Like the old business adage says: </span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;"><strong>People like to do business with their friends.</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">We want to be friends with authentic people. Of course we want to do business with them.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;"><strong></strong></span><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">In my experience around hundreds of speakers and trainers (behind the scenes) when I worked for Peak (and seminars I have attended), I have observed the following to be true:</span></h3>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">Authenticity is fast becoming synonymous with walking our talk &#8211; where walking our talk is not just a coy <em><strong>10 second sound bite</strong></em> for maximum &#8220;PR&#8221; benefit. </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">It is, by contrast, a quality &#8211; admired by all.</span></p>
<p>It is <strong>both</strong> an attribute <strong>and</strong> a symbol of strength of character.</p>
<p><strong>What is it about Authenticity - or Being Authentic - that we like so much?</strong></p>
<p>Authenticity is uncommon &#8211; particularly in the media and politics.</p>
<p>So, it stands out more dramatically than if it were common place. As a result, authenticity is becoming <strong>pronounced</strong> &#8211; as in &#8220;strongly marked, distinct&#8221;.</p>
<p>We admire risk takers who openly express independent thought and challenge the validity of the status quo. We are attracted to people who are willing to be vulnerable and take the chance of failure in front of others.</p>
<p>We ask ourselves: &#8221;How do they do that? That&#8217;s scary. I wish I could do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is enormous peer pressure to conform in today&#8217;s society:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">to be careful what we say </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">how we say it</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">who it we say it to</span></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>The interesting thing is that this effort to modify and alter individual behavior for the good of the many is having the reverse effect.</p>
<p>Inherently in human nature, we are attracted to truth.  Somehow &#8211; on a non-conscious level &#8211; we always know the difference when someone speaks the truth or represents the truth or holds us accountable to the truth.</p>
<p>Here is a quote from Lisa Barone of <a href="http://outspokenmedia.com/blogging/how-to-find-yourself-on-your-blog/" target="_blank">outspokenmedia</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;While I’m sure you’re a very complex and interesting person, the core of you is simple. It’s the you that exists when you’re not trying too hard to be anything else. That’s what people want.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">Here are several web definitions of authenticity that strike a harmonious note:</span></p>
<ul class="std" style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" type="disc">
<blockquote>
<li>Undisputed credibility <a href="http://www.google.com/url?ei=F3sHTfjrOIG78gb-4N3mAg&amp;sig2=a6UJ7aqi0tDn1CY_jP8xzQ&amp;q=http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn%3Fs%3Dauthenticity&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CBEQpAMoAA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHzNnB-NRBUi0uH0CYyMSZ-rq2w3w">wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn</a><span style="font-size: 15.6px;"> </span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: 15.6px;"><a href="http://www.google.com/url?ei=F3sHTfjrOIG78gb-4N3mAg&amp;sig2=Igl33-W_7jKN6JPZI-AKRw&amp;q=http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn%3Fs%3Dauthentic&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CBUQpAMoBA&amp;usg=AFQjCNGPBB66kfZHXIByVVcuKXSp_oaNJA"></a></span><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">The quality of being genuine or not corrupted from the original; Truthfulness of origins, attributions, commitments, sincerity, and intentions; The quality of being authentic (of established authority)  <a href="http://www.google.com/url?ei=F3sHTfjrOIG78gb-4N3mAg&amp;sig2=im-_VR66ocXn4HncDUeDew&amp;q=http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/authenticity&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CBQQpAMoAw&amp;usg=AFQjCNHFFBxU5lVrvAuNz7tFC6dbDYIN1A">en.wiktionary.org/wiki/authenticity</a></span><span style="font-size: 18.72px;"> </span></li>
</blockquote>
</ul>
<h2><strong><em>Authenticity</em> Is Appealing</strong></h2>
<p>Because it is so rare.</p>
<p>Authenticity includes a component of being singular &#8211; or the attributes of singularity &#8211; the only one like it.</p>
<p>We are attracted to <strong>singularity</strong> because, by definition, there can be only one.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="std" style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" type="disc">
<li>the quality of being one of a kind; &#8220;that singularity distinguished him from all his companions&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal; font-size: small;">and further&#8230;</span></p>
<ul class="std" style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" type="disc">
<li>strangeness by virtue of being remarkable or unusual<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/url?ei=iXgLTbL8NML78Aag9K3HDQ&amp;sig2=GK7MS7vkTR3Khi2LswtDpQ&amp;q=http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn%3Fs%3Dsingularity&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CBkQpAMoAA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHW7GBtC0VWqcdK1k4p0srHQBNe9A">wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn</a></li>
</ul>
<ul class="std" style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" type="disc">
<li>the state of being singular, distinct, peculiar, uncommon or unusual; a point where all parallel lines meet; a point where a measured variable reaches unmeasurable or infinite value&#8230;<a href="http://www.google.com/url?ei=iXgLTbL8NML78Aag9K3HDQ&amp;sig2=bIX4wz3Q9vVG4-a0t6_qEQ&amp;q=http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/singularity&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CCUQpAMoDA&amp;usg=AFQjCNH7f9-xGxcZgLDwhsFJPBRKOIr3tw">en.wiktionary.org/wiki/singularity</a></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="line-height: 19px;">Authenticity is living and being the real &#8220;us&#8221; and through that expression, the finest example of what and who we are because we are all &#8220;singular&#8221; and unique. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 19px;">Each &#8211; when being fully authentic &#8211; is the only living expression of <strong><em>who we are</em></strong> in the universe. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>In our Emerging Economy and Paradigm, How Do We Define a <strong><em>Wealthy Boomer</em></strong>?</h2>
<p>Here is my definition&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<h2>A Healthy Boomer is a Wealthy Boomer.</h2>
</blockquote>
<p>In my way of thinking, the old way of doing things simply doesn&#8217;t work anymore. How many people in the over 40 group are better off now than they were:</p>
<ul>
<li>10 or 20 years ago?</li>
</ul>
<p>Although this is a midterm election year, this is not a political statement or a campaign slogan. It is a comparative look at what exists today versus what we had anticipated 2010 would look like years ago. As a Baby Boomer, i<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">s 2010 what you had anticipated it would be? If you&#8217;re like many Baby Boomers, my money is on &#8220;NO.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Given that we have what we have and what is &#8211; is, t</span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">he question becomes what do we do now?</span></p>
<blockquote>
<h2><em>&#8220;The Media is Enough to Make Everybody Sick.&#8221;</em></h2>
</blockquote>
<p>This was my mantra for a long time. That&#8217;s why I quit listening, watching and subscribing to that stuff a long time ago. That&#8217;s also why the big three television networks are in a tail spin and major newspapers are losing circulation daily. It&#8217;s not the only reason, however it is a major component of the problem <strong>because there is so much good stuff happening in the world</strong> &#8211; way more than the bad.</p>
<p>I used to think the bumper sticker that said, &#8220;Kill Your Television&#8221; was clever and funny in the same vein as &#8220;My Karma Ran Over Your Dogma.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not listening to the <strong>gloom and doomers</strong> makes sense now &#8211; more than ever. It&#8217;s not just a catchy 10 second sound bite, it is now an emerging social survival commandment.</p>
<p>And yet on the gloom and doomer note&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<h2>As I write this, I realize that I have changed since I first started writing this post several months ago.</h2>
</blockquote>
<p>This post has been in my draft file for several months on the &#8216;back burner&#8217;. It was the kind of thing that needed to mature within my understanding before it was ready to be communicated.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what changed for me&#8230;</p>
<p>I actually just read a post by <a href="http://www.conspiracyoftherich.com/read/current" target="_blank">Robert Kiyosaki</a> in his Exclusive Update #65 this morning. The headline is, &#8220;What Do I Do Now?&#8221; Kiyosaki says that his article was prompted by so much feedback from readers and blog visitors telling him, &#8220;<em><strong>enough of the bad news, already</strong></em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>And here is his response in a <span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">nutshell:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>&#8220;The more the economy worsens, the more money I make. If the economy gets better, I will make even more money. This may sound confusing, but justifies the need for financial education. It doesn&#8217;t matter &#8211; bad news or good news &#8211; it&#8217;s all good news if you know what to do.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Robert Kiyosaki&#8217;s post made me realize something new. Something just dawned on me as I re-view what I am writing. Here&#8217;s what I got, maybe you get this too.</p>
<blockquote><p>1) The media <strong><em>IS</em></strong> enough to make everybody sick &#8211; until it doesn&#8217;t. <span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Over the course of the last few months, we have done a lot of work in Core Health and Heart Forgiveness live workshops and we see &#8211; over and over again &#8211; that each workshop participant&#8217;s energy actually goes weak from newspapers, until we help them clear the energy glitches around that issue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">I realized that I have shifted my perspective <strong>from</strong> avoiding the media <strong>to </strong>clearing  internal energy glitches around &#8220;how we respond internally&#8221; to the media. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">So as an alternative to avoidance &#8211; or denial &#8211; this requires <strong>both</strong> a shift in energy <strong>and</strong> acceptance.  Wow, this is a big deal for me &#8211; inside &#8211; because I have been a flaming anti-media guy for a long time and until this moment, I never realized I was in denial (protection mode).  Dr. Bruce Lipton has proven in the biology lab that protection = catabolic mode and expansion = anabolic mode. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">We learned in Core Health that protection mode weakens our energy. Vulnerability strengthens it. Yet, I have been &#8220;hiding&#8221; in a sense from the media. Now it&#8217;s clear that I don&#8217;t need to.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">2) Robert Kiyosaki taught me something about health this morning. He has had a healthy mental attitude about money and the economy where I did not. Prior to that, I always considered myself to be &#8216;healthier&#8221; than Kiyosaki and I stand corrected.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">What Robert Kiyosaki taught me does however validate my theory only in a way I had not anticipated. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Kiyosaki was born on April 8, 1947. He is a Baby Boomer and he is a wealthy boomer &#8211; a solid role model for those of us who strive financially for excellence, balance and abundance. I knew this about him before this post.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The headline in this post is a major component of my overall argument in my book <strong>Healthy Wealthy Boomer</strong> about &#8220;how to make the 2nd fifty years better than the 1st&#8221;. Here is the basis of that thought:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">If any of us were to lose everything we own &#8211; materially &#8211; houses, cars, money, investments and had to start from scratch, we could do fine as long as we have our physical health. If we were faced with this scenario and we had our health, we could move forward and completely rebuild our lives and our success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">On the other hand, if we had huge success financially and we lost our health, what good would the money be?</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">I wonder how Patrick Swayze would answer that question &#8211; an icon in Baby Boomer culture and a man I have admired as an actor &#8211; personally &#8211; for many years?</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">I also wonder what <a href="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/wordpress/2008/03/11/healthy-wealthy-boomer-loves-the-total-gym/" target="_blank">John Carleo</a> &#8211; one of my primary Healthy Boomer Role Models &#8211; the guy who lifted 1003 lbs (six times his body weight) at age 60 would say&#8230; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Here is a video of John Carleo:</span></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="445" height="364" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="align" value="center" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3z5vjeGlhRk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="445" height="364" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3z5vjeGlhRk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca&amp;border=1" align="center" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>In 1973, a wise Chinese man &#8211; and friend &#8211; named T.C. Lee told me:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Doing Tai Chi is like putting pennies in a piggy bank everyday. It may not seem like much, but eventually, it will add up to a lot of money.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I was 20 then. I am 57 today.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">A key rung on the ladder of wealth is health. In fact, it is foundational. And health is something we can do something about. Much of it is a lifestyle shift, a change in attitude. And it does not take money to begin being healthy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Like my acceptance of the media &#8211; in a  new way &#8211; we need to shift internally and step out of denial. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Now I know that there is more to my understanding of financial health than I realized. And it&#8217;s fascinating to see what we learn through teaching.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><strong>I AM Michael Barrett, I AM a Healthy Boomer and I AM a Core Health Facilitator</strong></span></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>Imagine this: Seventy seven million baby boomers make a pact to take back their happy healthy image and birthright, and ALL become healthy and wealthy within the next year or two!</h2>
<p>Seriously, look at this now! Boomers are a gigantic brain trust of information, experience, and know how. They have been down &#8211; raised by &#8220;depression age&#8221; parents and grandparents. They have been up &#8211; lived through some of the very best of economic times, great freakin&#8217; rock music, comparative castles for homes, waged war on everything from terrorism to drugs to cancer, and are still better at most jobs than their children and grandchildren will ever be.</p>
<p>Boomers are world travelers, can do most anything you can come up with; they are gym rats, social media marketers, and can learn a language in 90 days.</p>
<p>Baby Boomers went back to school online and became honors students with Masters after age 50 or 60!  They have lost all their money once or twice and made it back on the next entrepreneurial venture or two without passing out in the sweat &#8211; even if they did lose a house or two in foreclosure. They are experts at picking themselves up, dusting themselves off and getting right back in the game.</p>
<p>Boomers have survived layoffs, divorce, child support, custody cases, 9/11, and a few lyin&#8217;-cheatin&#8217; presidents, and they&#8217;re not dead yet! They changed jobs like sweaty gym shorts, made it through the dot.com boom and bust while changing hats as frequently as needed. Boomers have tried every religion on the planet from Tibet to Rome to Utah. They are as self- developed and natural health-ed as anyone will ever be. They have been medicated and meditated.</p>
<h2><strong>Baby  Boomers &#8211; WE &#8211; survived it all. What else is there?  Really? </strong></h2>
<p>What if:</p>
<blockquote><p>Boomers decided to act on all that knowledge and stop buying into  the massive programming about prescriptions, high blood pressure, weight loss programs, motorized scooters, guilt about the end of the world, and spending the grand kids inheritance!</p></blockquote>
<p>What if they said</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;NO MORE!&#8221; to terrorists, politically correct speech, being robbed by drug using grandchildren, illegal aliens, and handing out money they busted their asses to make, and bailouts paid for with our tax dollars? What if they quit banks and bought gold?</p></blockquote>
<p>What if they said &#8220;N-O!&#8221; to the media mind set about the boomer health image promoted and paid for by the drug companies and instead decided to prove them all wrong? What if: Boomers decided to walk every day, eat whatever makes them feel REALLY good, work as long as they want to, and said &#8220;to hell with social security just give me back everything I invested!&#8221;</p>
<h2>It can be done, you know! It can. We can.</h2>
<h2>There is a SEVENTY SEVEN MILLION strong mindset that says we can do anything we put our minds to if we want to.  Who wants to join me? I am game if you are!</h2>
<p><strong><br />
Start here: Do what you can do. Make your list and check it twice. </strong></p>
<blockquote><p>1. New mental image.<br />
2. Walk daily morning.<br />
3. Filtered water every hour.<br />
4. No more red meat.<br />
5. Lots of fresh veggies and fruits.<br />
6. Daily protein powder drinks.<br />
7. Daily gym-you got to move to improve.Do something to first strengthen your upper body-arms-back. Start light then build.<br />
8.Meditate daily. Just clear your head of all the chatter for 15 minutes so you can tell when its actually you thinking and not another instant replay.<br />
9. Acknowledge God&#8217;s life in you many times daily. Feel &#8220;the Light that never fails&#8221; no matter what name you call that Light.<br />
10. Be gratitude-filled daily.<br />
11. Reduce medications gradually as you feel better.<br />
12. Stop making excuses.<br />
13. Stop thinking  of yourself as an old fart.<br />
14. Stop acting like an old fart.<br />
15. Go on vacation as often as you can.<br />
16. Discover IntraMax liquid vitamins by Dr.Drucker. (the best I ever found!)<br />
17.Start treating yourself like today is the first day of your future.<br />
18.Fall in love with first with yourself and then with your spouse again.<br />
19.Walk daily evenings after dinner. (beach, park, school)<br />
20. Hang around younger people and raise your energetic vibration to match theirs.<br />
21.Be positive.Think positive. Act positive. Speak positive.<br />
22. Focus only on what you can do. Forget what you cannot do. You&#8217;ll get there or you won&#8217;t.<br />
23. Buy a mini trampoline and use it. (they come with handrails if needed).<br />
24. Learn to increase your oxygen via all the above methods.<br />
25. Mean it!<br />
26. If you live near the ocean go sit in the water as often as you can. Take your chair and get 20 minutes of sun too.<br />
27. Get 20 minutes of sun daily anyway. (you need the vitamin D)<br />
29. Write about your life and find the passion, the experience, the purpose. If you don&#8217;t want to write, record it.<br />
30.Make an endless list of all the things you still want to do and start doing them.<br />
31. Do something you have always wanted to do and do NOT be afraid and if you are, feel the fear and do it anyway!<br />
32. Get your teeth fixed, have your eyes done, whatever; just do something that makes you feel good that maybe no one else thinks you should &#8220;waste your money (their inheritance) on!&#8221;<br />
33. Buy that boat, collectible car, beach house or whatever it is you used to promise yourself you&#8217;d have one day and celebrate your new beginning!</p>
<p>34. Garden. Sing. Dance. Ride a bike.</p>
<p>35. Find a Core Health Workshop and get your &#8220;will to live&#8221; back up to 100% asap.</p>
<p>36.Find a Heart Forgiveness Workshop and forgive yourself then everybody else -  from your heart not your head. Take back your life!</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Most Important-Find a friend and support each other.</strong></p>
<p>Start a Meetup group and make your lists. Make a plan and see it through. Live like each day has meaning the way one does when one is looking toward the FUTURE not at the PAST. Face forward and walk toward the sun!</p>
<p>See you in a year! Good Luck and <strong><em>Have Fun!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>I Am Alexandra Barrett and I am a healthy, wealthy boomer!!!<br />
</em></strong></p>
