The real secret to making money from money is to ignore the fact that it’s either money or has perceived value.

Reincarnation Games You Can Play

There are a variety of reincarnation games that really do work wonders to Get You In Touch With Your Former Selves… We’ll be exploring some of them in the next workshop, which will be during the Summer Solstice Festival the weekend of June 22nd through the 25th, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you stay over, you’ll be included in the breakfast crowd on Monday.

Herein is the kind of data I try to give you every day in my blogs — to save you time, energy, money and most of all, dead ends. It’s not at all tricky to find good didges, but selecting one with which to ACTUALLY BOND is like choosing a mate, mate.

Hapi Hour with EJ Gold

Tune in for the Hapi Hour with EJ Gold on http://www.justin.tv/gorebaggtv/ where I’ll be using the Hapi and from time to time filming tutorials — can’t quite bring myself to use the term “instructible” or “instructable” — they’re wrongly constructed terms. Watch the ICW this morning for demos and more about the two shows…oh, did I not mention “Gorebagg’s Tags”??? It’s a show where I demo how to construct barbershop quartet “tags” and much, much more. Tune in to both shows every day. Follow me on twitter and facebook for the latest info on shows, because they’re at odd times until I can settle into a routine with them, if that’s even possible.
