  4. Oh My Gosh! How do I decide Jody? You KNOW how much our 3 girls and my hubby and I all enjoy your journals...and your other items!
    I couldn't decide if I had to! Sorry...I love them all and think that you and Dan are amazing human beings. You are truly a blessing to all that get to know you even a little...to those who are blessed to receive one of your journals. You are both truly the best! And it shows in your product line! I highly recommend it to everyone! Young and old alike!
    Lots of love and many blessings to you both!

  5. I just posted it for my Facebook friends! Have a good contest! I just started a couple of tiny experimental paintings to make into PIF listings!

  6. Hey, I found your post just looking for PIF stuff online... I like what you're doing. My gf and I are getting married and we want to do something a little different... instead of spending a lot of money on flowers and cake, we would like to use it to positively impact the people around us. Please help us win a beautiful Montana wedding by voting for our video and we are going to make a commitment to pay forward the entire value of the prize ($20K) and hopefully inspire others to do the same. Here's the link: http://upickem.net/9j39nilnYWk?r=425589 Please vote!

  53. ''As If: 50 Prompts to Help You Manifest Your Ideal Life'' is my favourite book. I have always wanted to metamorphose my life into a healthier, happier and wealthier one but I find myself a dimwit, unfortunate person. I only have one friend, and I hardly have any conversation stint with other people. They usually give me a perverse, disapproving look though I did not know why.

    That's why I love this soulful journal.

  66. Just an hour after entering this earlier, I went out with my girl, and saw this woman with an amazing hairdo. It was swept up and around into a sort of ponytail/regal up-do. I told her that I loved her hair. She (and my gf) was shocked. But she thanked me and went along, smiling ear to ear!!! I love random compliments <3
