I just want to say that your 30 Day Money Accelerator is terrific!
It provides such great structure with variety to keep me so interested and excited to do the processes. The quotes in the contemplation sections and everywhere else in the planner are great and really put things into perspective.
I LOVE the full day of gratitude. It feels so great just to dedicate the whole day to being grateful for everything - big or small. The miracles log is magnificent also!
I find the 30 Day Money Accelerator really does create and promote a wealthy mindset!

Caroline From Australia Gets a New Car with Love
Hi Barbara
I was driving down the freeway to Melbourne on the weekend. A journey of an hour and a half to visit my grandfather who was having a stay in a nursing home while my parents were away.
I was reflecting on my life and what my next big step would be. The goal of financial freedom is never far from my mind however, with two teenage daughters, lots of animals, and a full time job I do not have a great deal of time to work out how to go out on a limb in order to increase my income.
My present job does not pay very well but also leaves me too tired to think about being courageous and giving it up to seek something else. Two years ago I was driving to work as I do everyday in my car, at the time one of the oldest on the road with no air conditioning and very rusty; I was looking at my hands on the steering wheel and I began to visualise my hands on the steering wheel of a smart new car.
I would look about me on the freeway and pick a car that I would like to own and blow it a kiss. I continued this visualisation and smiling at new cars everyday for a few months and thanking the Universe for the new car that was coming.
One day whilst I was at work, my father rang up and said, “your Mother and I are at the car yard and I have picked out a car for you – what colour do you want?” I never in my wildest visioning knew how I was going to get a new car.
Certainly didn’t think my father was going to go into a car yard one day and decide to get me a car. Now, going to visit my grandfather I looked at my hands on the steering wheel of my gorgeous new car which has been with me for two years now and I thought….well it worked!
If, like I was, you are tired of hearing these kind of stories of people getting things without having to lift a finger…well I like to think I actually did work hard for this new car….I spread a lot of love around on the busy, mad freeway
I can tell you! Angry, frustrated faces of commuters, busy traffic jams, people late for work and very stressed—I worked at being very grateful, peaceful and loving and like to think the Universe (and Dad) thanked me in return.
Kind regards
Caroline

Congratulations Caroline, Thank you for this story.
Imagine how we could reduce road rage if more people did what you did

The Immense Power of Appreciation and Gratitude.
Appreciation and Gratitude are quite popular concepts nowadays, since “The Secret” exploded into our consciousness. As you know, practicing and becoming expert in the basics give us a strong foundation to build on.
If you are already practicing gratitude and keeping a journal, or a gratitude board, consider adding this distinction to your current practice and see how much more energy becomes available to you to attract your dreams and desires.
Consider writing a daily list of your Gratitudes.
1. What or who you are grateful for…things, people, events.
Writing a list of all the things you can think of, that you already have in your life is a powerful process. A minimum of 5 and any amount above that is good. In this case, if a little is good, more is better. It can be the most basic of things to the most profound. The first two items on my gratitude list everyday are “Thank you for my good health and my healthy husband and family.” After that, I list whatever I decide on that day. Somedays my list comprises of 5 items, other days it is 15- 20.
2. Why are you grateful?
Choose some items from your list and write another list as to why you are grateful for each of these things, people or events. This process of appreciation adds importance to each item and impacts your neurology. As you search for reasons and ideas, your mind remains focused whilst lingering on a pleasant topic. In fact, this is an ideal and easy way to improve your concentration, and it is a great subject for contemplation, which strengthens your ability to concentrate. The conscious mind is in constant motion, it is usually very active and often turbulent, therefore, training your mind to remain focused for a period of five minutes or more, adds power to everything you do in life, including your visualizations, affirmations and any other creative work that you may practice to activate the law of attraction.
3. How does it makes you feel?
Ask this question for each item on your list, because this question adds emotion, which strengthens your “vibration” and resonance. You may also find out what your values are, as the same feelings may emerge from each item that you question. An example of this is: I feel a sense of freedom, great love or support. The universe will deliver to you situations, circumstances, events and people according to your predominant thoughts and feelings which create your resonance. You may start to experience more reality according to your values.
Adding the focused questions of why and how, helps to add to your “attractor factor” (Joe Vitale’s term), your vibration of “already having” what it is you want. Being appreciative and considering these concepts allows your creative mind to contemplate and reach far more deeply into the concept of gratitude and the art of allowing and receiving. While you are thinking and feeling about what you already have in life, you are allowing or inviting the universe to bring you more.
Your resistance is down, and you are not thinking about what you don’t want, or feeling lack or limitation, you are in the attitude and vibration of appreciation, gratitude and maybe even love and that sends out a strong signal to attract what you want, and now you are open to receiving it.
Some days when I am feeling stuck and my goals seem so elusive, I spend a day in gratitude. I let go of all expectations and just give thanks... pretty much all day. When I do this process, I feel a sense of relief and a “letting go” of tension, worry and fear, and I always find that shortly after, I receive an abundance of events that I am extremely grateful for… Great things happen, I meet incredible people and I seem to be in the right pace at the right time. Try it today, make it a habit and then allow the universe to reveal and bring its treasures to you.
