October 4th, 2008 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 7 Comments »

Developing the power of your mind by learning to control your thoughts can produce limitless benefits. The goal is for positive manifestations to occur in the spiritual, emotional and physical producing joy in your life and the lives of others.
