An event I attended two evenings ago exceeded my expectations to the point where I felt inspired to do a second podcast episode for the week. The event featured presentations from three knowledgeable speakers: internet marketing guru Koz Khosravani, inspirational speaker/author Ellie Drake and feng shui master and featured expert of the movie The Secret, Marie Diamond. Their pearls of wisdom definitely made an impact on me. Ellie and Koz's information wasn't necessarily brand new to me, but the way in which it was said was powerful. www.My2CentsandNonsense.com

I’d like to engage you with a parable to drive the point home. www.My2CentsAndNonsense.com
