Blue Moon: New Year

Watch for the rare Blue Moon tonight, the second full moon of the month and the first time a second full moon has appeared on New Year's Eve since 1990. The snow may obscure the moon here in the Northeast, but don't let it get in the way of attracting money into your life. Go outside and dance and ask the universe to continue sending abundance your way in 2010.

And let's all dance for peace and love and prosperity; let's pray for an end to war and hunger and homelessness. Happy New Year - ps

Happy New Year

Wishing everyone a joyous and prosperous 2010. I hope this new decade brings renewed peace and prosperity to our world and to all of us individually. From my point of view, I'm not unhappy to see 2009 come to an end: we've been challenged by all sorts of family illness this past year. Blessedly, everyone is on the road to recovery and we're looking forward to renewed health for our loved ones.

I want to thank all of you who have supported my writing and all who purchased Dancing Under the Full Moon as holiday gifts. It was great to see so much activity on Amazon. It's an "evergreen" book that makes a great little gift for any occassion, so keep it in mind for future presents.

Also, whenever you purchase one of my books (especially for a gift), let me know and I'll send you a signed bookplate so that you can transform it into an autographed copy.

Stay warm and happy and may you continue to attract abundance into your life.

Found A Penny

Despite all my good intentions — and the advice in my money book, Dancing Under the Full Moon — I hadn't yet started my own penny jar to attract more money into my life. But then there it was on my walk yesterday, a single penny lying on the sidewalk right in front of me. I almost stepped right over it. But midair, I stopped, backed up and realized I couldn't just pass it by. The universe was beckoning. And the penny was lying heads-up, a sure sign of good luck. So now it sits on my desk until I find just the right bowl and then it will go by my front door, the first penny of many to help invite riches into my house. By the way, if you do find a penny and it's tails up, don't keep it. Pick it up, if you want, but spend it or give it away. Don't add it to your money bowl. It will have a negative impact.

Oh, and don't forget, another full moon is on the way. The months pass quickly, don't they. I particularly love those Harvest moons, and you'll find me dancing under it asking the kind universe to fill up my wallet. What about you?

Post here or e-mail me and let me know what you're doing to attract money into your life.

Rainy Day Money Attraction

It's Sunday afternoon and pouring here in Connecticut. A great day to light candles (green ones to attract money) and curl up with a good book. Or in my case, write a good book!

However, before doing any of that, it's the perfect day to try out an ancient money-attracting spell, #37 in my book, Dancing Under the Full Moon: 101 Ways to Attract Money into Your Life. According to folklore, this spell is foolproof in its ability to reverse money problems.

Here's what to do: on a rainy day, find a holly bush, clasp your hands around its main stem and chant three times, "Holly tree, O holly tree, let much wealth come to me." You can expect to see a positive change in your finances within three months of doing this ritual.

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you. And don't forget to send in your money attraction ideas. If I use them in a follow-up book, you'll be credited and receive an autographed copy. 

Enjoy every moment and remember to always dance! - ps

Lucky Seven

In my book, I talk about a Lucky Seven ritual to draw money into your life. I particularly like that one because 7 and 9 are my lucky numbers. They always have been. BUT I didn't know why until something dawned on me Sunday, the night of the full moon, as I was swaying and chanting and asking the universe to fill up my pockets. It was late and I had on my robe, so I opened up my pockets instead of my wallet to the light of the autumn moon and asked for abundance.

Anyway, I digress . . . my birthday is Nov. 17 and my sister's birthday (she's just a year younger) is Nov. 19 (if we were Irish, we'd be twins!!). Until I was 13, my mother had our birthdays confused, and I always thought mine was on the 19th. We straighted out our birth days, but always my two lucky numbers have been 7 and 9 and that must be why -- both serve as a piece of my early identity.

Do you have lucky numbers? Are they related to your core identity? Share you stories.

Oh, and if you want to perform the Lucky Seven ritual: inside a small pouch, place seven different denominations of money (paper and coins combined); add lavender, close the bag and carry it with you everywhere for seven days. Keep it closed the entire time. At the end of the seven days, put the pouch away (you can even open it) and be aware of how money has suddenly come you way -- the amount you placed in the pouch should have multiplied by seven. Give it a try. Let me know what happens.

Meanwhile, live an abundant and joyful life - ps

Log In & Listen: Blog Radio Show

Dancing Under the Full Moon is attracting money and attention and that's a good thing.

Tomorrow, Sunday, Sept. 27 - 12:30 EST / 11:30 Central Time, I will be a guest on the Radio Show: Feng Shui Fabulous, hosted by DeAnna Radaj. Time permitting, she will be taking live call-in questions. We'll be talking about the power of attraction and how we have the ability to attract money into our life, changing our reality based on our beliefs about ourself and the universe.

We'll give you a couple of easy ways to begin, applying magic and feng shui principles. If you can't tune in tomorow -- we all have more things to do than we can manage on some days -- go to the link another time and listen in. I'll also have it posted on my website. Thanks. Enjoy this beautiful autumn season. - ps

Pea Soup and Money?

A reader just wrote to me saying she has a fridge full of lemons and is going to make lemonade precisely how I describe in my book — a magic formula of mixing and sipping —  banishing bad money luck while inviting riches into your life. She’s not looking for a lot, but a bit of “found money” would be very welcome.

Meanwhile, she shared an old French Canadian custom, which calls for eating pea soup on New Year’s Day so you’ll be financially secure in the coming year. Apparently, she laughed, the “secret” is in the fact pea soup is so cheap that anyone who will make a meal of it will automatically save on the food. Or, this Canadian belief could be related to the Southern tradition of eating black-eyed peas for money luck, which has worked for centuries.

Give the pea soup a try. If you don’t want to wait for the new year, pick a date (your birthday or some other special day) and declare it your new year. Even if it doesn’t work, you’ll be all the richer for the experience and its creamy, warm broth! And, in the end, wealth is defined, not only by money, but by single moments, pure and true.

Under the Full Moon

Friday, September 4 is the next full moon. What an opportunity to invite money into your life. All you have to do is Dance, ask for what you want, and do it with conviction. Here's what to do: empty your wallet, go outside in view of the moon, and wave your empty wallet while you ask for money and do a little jig. You can sway, hip hop or tap; it doesn't matter. Just do it with feeling. In my book, Dancing Under the Full Moon, I tell you about a woman named Elaine Stone, who goes out every month, waves her empty wallet under the full moon and says "Fill 'er up" three times. According to her, it works 98% of the time. Not bad odds. And certainly worth trying, don't you think?

Do you have a Full Moon story or ritual to share? I'd love to hear it.  - ps

Today's Affirmations

Every day, since beginning work on my book, Dancing Under the Full Moon, I've made a practice of consciously reciting an affirmation about my belief in myself and in the universe's ability to provide me with opportunities for increased money. I don't just say the words . . . I don't just throw them out like the crumbs from my morning's breakfast — I concentrate on them, I own them, I try hard to believe them and I imagine the words floating from my lips out into the universe, on a soft breeze, ready to be heard, ready to be imagined and made true. Here are two I particularly enjoy saying over and over again: Everything I touch is a success;  My income is constantly increasing.

Wonderful things have begun happening since I've engaged the universe in my plan for monetary success. My new book is finding an audience, I've gotten a couple of new copywriting clients, and my stock portfolio has risen!!

Do you have a favorite affirmation? If so, please share it here.  - ps
