Basic Instructions for This Project

We are currently working with The Oculatum, a brief history of which may be found here.

It is said to offer clarity, strength, and awareness for the attentive reader in his or her daily life. The idea is to pick one phrase each day, say that phrase six times and repeat this action three times during the day. The next day pick a different phrase, again repeating it a total of 18 times. On the seventh day we rest.

At the end of 30 days, we will look to see if it has "worked" and decide we have found new clarity in our lives, new insights, or not. If you'd like to join us, feel free to jump right in.

Wrapping Things Up

What a fool does last
a wise man does first...


I love that quote, even though, once again I'm probably doing the "first" thing last!

As you can see, I haven't quite caught up with myself here on The Prosperity Project... looks like I'm having some problems with time management and it doesn't help that my internet connection gets really really slow whenever it rains and it's been raining alot here in the Midwest. So, while we wait for me to get The Occulatum project wrapped up, I thought I'd share this email I got a while back from one of our readers.

Hi Shirley,
I don't know if anyone would like to know this, but I just published a book of Poetry called, Poems for a Positive Day. If you know anyone interested in poetry of this kind, they can go to MyVeryOwnFan.com and see the link. My blog has a lot of poetry on there as well.

Best,
Donna Cavanagh


We do have many talented people who visit this blog and participate in our projects. If you are one of them, and would like to say a few words about yourself, or if you have a website, myspace or facebook page, blog, book, or anything you'd like us to know about, now is a good time to talk about it. Plug it, sell it, brag about it! Don't be shy. You might also enjoy exploring the links in our sidebar.

As for our next project, I'm hoping to get started on that as soon as the Thanksgiving Insanity at my house is over and done with and the mess is cleaned up.

And Today We Rest



Today we rest, and not only that, it's the last day of this project! When we get done with our respective naps, it will be time to log in and talk about how well this particular project has "worked" and decide whether or not we have found new clarity in our lives, new insights, more money, deeper happiness, etc.

Also, I had a really good idea of how to use this month's treasure trove of "sayings" and good advice. You'll find that we now have an "Ask The Oculatum" widget at the bottom of the page here on the Prosperity Project. It's pretty cool - it took me 2 weeks to figure out how to make it, and it was definitely worth the effort. Enjoy!

What a fool

What a fool
does last
a wise man
does first



Be no beggar
to the morrow
if your purse
is bare today



Down no man's
faith
that your own
is better



Destiny
awaits
at every
turning



Loan no coin
to friend
save you
lose both



Do not
cut
that you
may unite

Our Most

Our most
devious foe
slumbers
within



The laborer
will easy see
the baker's
daily toil



Trust
not
till
proved



Truth
shall
fear not
question



Fortune
is often
in company
of effort



We are
known
by our
fellows

We May Not Avoid

We may
not avoid
our
destiny



Only
the good
feel
guilt



Stronger
to sway
of the storm
than sever



Ask of
the traveled
to know well
the voyage



Listen
well
for you
may hear



Honor
has the
keenest
sight

Any Path

Any path
will lead
with not
direction



The heart
of faith
fears not
of man



Barren winter
brings forth
the fruitful
spring



We are soon
defeated
by our own
quick hand



Judge not
your fellow
lest you
be judged



Seek good
for it
may then
find you
