Those of you who know me will be stunned that I’m posting this. To those of you who don’t, I’m a pretty black and white, “prove it” kind of person. But today I received an email that brought to the forefront of my little world, a concept that I had been resisting since I entered into direct marketing or MLM…visualization. In short, I haven’t written down my goals…they’re in my head, right? No need to write them down. I haven’t made a dreamboard yet…I know what I want out of life, right? Besides, it’s a little touchy/feely for me.

Then BAM! This email hit me right between the eyes. Yes, it spouted the same stuff I’d heard and read from dozens of other people - successful people. But, I was busy trying to make things happen. I’d get to the “fluff” stuff later, right? NOT! (Oh…sorry, my teenage daughter says that’s not cool anymore.) THIS email proved its point by giving me free examples: 6 premade 3 minute “dream videos”. And they are powerful!

What are they? They’re high tech, 21st century DREAMBOARDS. Check them out for yourself right here. Feel free to watch all of them. I did.

What a way to help you visualize your dreams, huh? It sure beats cutting up a magazine and pasting pictures on a foam board. Want to make your own? Click here to find out the easiest way to do it. And, be sure to scroll down and see how to keep your dreams IN YOUR FACE every day.

Hey…

Here’s an interesting article from The Seattle Times that strengthens my belief in the importance of genetics. In this case ‘Gator genetics will probably help humans in the very near future. Check it out.

From The Seattle times…

Someday, an alligator might save your life.

Researchers in Louisiana say they’ve discovered unique antibiotic proteins in the blood of American alligators that can kill a wide range of deadly bacteria, halt the spread of common infections, and perhaps even stop HIV, which causes AIDS.

If they’re right, and they’re able to sequence the genetics of ‘gator blood, the researchers say superdrugs based on their findings might be available within 10 years.

“It’s pretty exciting,” said Lancia Darville, a Louisiana State University researcher who is to present the findings at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans this week.

So far, the researchers say they’ve determined that the proteins found in alligator blood can fight 23 different types of bacteria, nearly three times as many as the proteins found in human blood.

At least in lab experiments, proteins extracted from ‘gator blood destroyed the bacteria behind deadly staph infections, different fungi behind yeast infections, and in at least one study, most of a sample of HIV, the researchers said.

Darville explained that alligators have developed unique immune systems during the course of their long evolution.

“If you think about alligators, they usually get into a lot of fights and get cuts and bruises and torn limbs, and they live in swamps that have a whole lot of bacteria,” she said. “But even in the presence of all that bacteria, they [almost] never get any infections.”

The reason, Darville explained, is that ‘gators have unusually strong immune systems. Unlike humans, their immune systems can fight off different types of bacteria, viruses and fungi without having been previously exposed to them.

Technology, however, is taking research to new levels. Darville and study co-author Mark Merchant now are sequencing the genetic makeup of alligator blood to figure out how to make chemicals based on it — the next step in developing new drugs.

Possible drugs include creams that could be used to treat ulcers of diabetes patients or prevent infections in amputees, and pills to fight internal infections and bacteria.
