Hi Shellie, I would like to thank you for sharing your plastic surgery story. I know we are all looking forward to it so much (I can't *imagine* not having this stupid gut in my way or boobs that I trip over...) and it's so awesome to hear from someone who has been there. I have to tell ya I was rivited reading about it. Thanks for posting! Having an incision open up on me & then having it have to heal from the inside out scares the crud right outta me let me tell ya! I'm impressed you're dealing with it so well! And that's awesome the surgeon prepared you for it so well. The whole process sounds pretty hard! It's really good to hear the bad with the good though. Best to make an informed decision listening to someone who has been there! Anyway, I wanted to thank you for posting. It's hard to come out of lurkdom and I appreciate that you did. Take care and don't be a stranger! Hugs, Lisa

Wow Sue, how exciting for ya! I bet you're nervous though! But Woo Hoo girl! I'll be thinking of ya! Hugs, Lisa

Here's what I sent to my sisters and mom today: You won't be making any investment in anything. You won't be buying anything. In fact, I am going to tell you exactly what you have to do first and then what we have to do as a group next to achieve our goals. You know, I realized last night that I was kind of hitting my head against a brick wall of sorts. I had learned this awesome thing and I couldn't get a bunch of strangers out on the Net to take me seriously - and I thought to myself.... Why am I doing this? My family believes me and they have always trusted me. They know me - why am I trying to get the approval of a bunch of people who I don't know? Let me tell you how all this started: Back in November last year, I was full of fire inside - I REALLY wanted intellipodcast to become successful - and it will by the way - I had signed up for a seminar where 49 different speakers were speaking online about succeeding in business and relationships and personal development stuff. I ordered the platinum ticket - which meant I got an MP3 player with all the speeches on it after the event. So, knowing I was going to get this, I attended maybe a couple of them and then decided I'm going to get the player anyway, so I didn't go to any more. Ok, December goes by - a good time in Cincinnati - I'm thinking a lot about selling Brainy Betty - I've kind of grown out of it - and want to go achieve other things. January, we come back to Worthington. I find an email in my Inbox from a company who is interested in buying the site or partnering with us. Without getting into all the details - basically, they are flying down from California next Wednesday and Thursday to talk through the final details. 2nd week of January, I get my MP3 player and I listen to just one of the speakers. He talks about IRA investments and Roth and real estate investments and all this stuff - it's way over my head - but I go out to his website and sign up for an email course to understand all this more. In the third email he sends, he says, oh, by the way, here is a copy of a book you should read written in the 1930s by Wallace Wattles. (This guy who sent it to me makes over $180 million a year by the way). (I'm attaching that ebook in this email as well). I read it and think - wow. This is really really simple and it makes total sense. Why didn't anybody tell me this? So I go out to Amazon and try to see if anything else is written about any of this. And I come across the Secret DVD (by chance - I had never heard of it before) which I order and shows up at my house in 2 days. This just completely blows me away and is true true true in every aspect and scenario in everybody's life. (By the way, if somebody can tape Oprah on February 8th - the entire show will be about the Secret - I would love to see it.) But you know me, I am still a teeny bit skeptical - so I go and read quantum physics which SUPPORTS everything that was said. You have no idea how many books I have read in the last 4 weeks. 3rd week of January - I find the PERFECT national marketing company with a humongous and PERFECT marketing plan for intellipodcast. AND they agree to do the entire thing for the money I can afford. I am getting solutions and ideas and moving forward faster and faster to getting the site done every day - this is still happening. 4th week of January - I make Ravi watch the Secret. Now, you all know Ravi - he is the very essence of "let's be realistic" and he is a pessimist. EVEN he decided that it was logical and has honestly started making an effort in changing how and what he thinks. Also, last week of January, I go to Louisville to attend the Microsoft launch. I decide that hey, it's a 3 hour trip - let me burn a couple more of those speakers and listen to them in the car (I did this randomly from iTunes) - would you believe I get in the car and (out of 48 speakers I haven't listened to yet) - I pick a guy who was the philosopher on the Secret movie? And that CD is priceless. I'm going to listen to it again and again any time I am in the car. SO at great length, that was my way of telling you that the goals I had put out in my original email - well, each and every one of them will happen and IS HAPPENING as we speak. By the way, I hope somebody saves this email so we can see if the results actually happened at the end of the year! I know they will but it's a good way of making others believe as well.) So, first go read the book by Wallace Wattles... the one attached I this email. After that, tell me what you think. By the way, don't put it off and get busy with other things. Print it out and put it in the bathroom or by your bedside or somewhere you will see it everyday and just fini**** You will absolutely attain everything you want 100% I guarantee it - I don't care how impossible whatever it may be that you want - including more children - it WILL happen. By the way, it will interest you to know Bill Gates knew the secret and went on to become the richest man of our century. But it goes back WAY before that - all of the most famous, most important inventors, business people, scientists and philosophers knew it as well.... From Aristotle, to Einstein to Buddha to Carnegie and Rockefeller. BTW, if you want the download of the ebook - just message me - I will be more than happy to send it to you. I want everyone here to succeed.

Thats great Jennifer! Sooo....where are the new pics???

Today- I weighed in at 161... only 11 more pounds to go... i can't believe it.... I've gotten so many comments just this week about how i'm looking so healthy- QUOTE- healthy- they said healthy and one male teacher said to me- You're are looking so slim- oh wait can i say that to you- you know what I mean... WOW- no one in my life has ever been TONGUE tied over me... several students this week told me- I need to go get some clothes that fit- everything is way to baggy on me. i'm in my 14/16's... and honestly- i can walk right out of them- i hold my pants up with my hand. so i have to be a real 12 now.... just don't have any extra money for clothes... or time to go either... maybe later this month time to go thru the closet and get rid of things that are way too big (everything) now- i just need to get this MIND of mine right.. working on it- but it's very difficult- and i want to turn to food- but I can't....... so i play my piano...... jennifer
