The Cosmic Ordering Service is the new self-help phenomenon

Even if you think this kind of thing is Bunk, I recommend this audiobook

wholeheartedly.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this.Very interesting,really quite humorous

and excellenty read by Sandra Duncan.

The Cosmic Ordering Service By Barbel Mohr.

Barbel developed her theory after chatting with a friend positive thinking.

She asked for the perfect man with all the right qualities and got not just one

but over time she got several,each time raising the number of qualities the man

had to have.

The latest became her husband, Manfred. She also asked for,and got,her dream job,

money, health and even a castle to live in,she actually had a choice of two castles.

Coincidence figures large but as Barbel says 'what is coincidence?'

Barbel says that the cosmos is like a large mail-order company. you place the order and wait for it to be delivered,

Anybody can order cosmically, she says, because we all order unconsciously anyway. You can wish as many times

and for as much as you want. But your requests must be for kind,loving purposes don't be nasty. Don't wish bad

things on people or anything unkind, the Cosmic Ordering Service will not work for anything negative.

A Brilliant audiobook,I'm going to listen to it again now and maybe even order something nice.

Historical

June Whitfield plays Miss Marple once again in this Full cast dramatisation of Agatha Christies 'Sleeping murder'.

Miss Marple is called upon to solve a 'perfect crime' committed years earlier. A Cold case as they say.

Publisher's Summary:

Soon after Gwenda moved into her new home, odd things started to happen. Despite her best efforts to modernise

the house, she only succeeded in dredging up its past. Worse, she felt an irrational sense of terror every time she

climbed the stairs.

In fear, Gwenda turned to Miss Marple to exorcise her ghosts. Between them, they have to solve a "perfect" crime

committed many years before.

Having read this book many years ago and then listened to the audiobook I was pleasantly surprised. June whitfield

takes on the role of Miss Marple extremely well.Usually when reading a book I put my own slant on the characters

I am reading and listening to June Whitfield I found myself transported back to the time when I read the book,

her portrayal was everything I expected and remembered about the character.All in all an exellent audiobook and if

you are a fan of Murder Mystery & suspense then this is the one for you.

Title: How You Leave Them Feeling

Author: Jesse Ferrell

Publisher: JessTalk, hardback, 254 pages

ISBN 10: 0977881008

ISBN 13: 978-0977881000

"Simply put, how you leave other people feeling and how people perceive you have a profound effect on the quality of your life," declares the jacket blurb on Jesse Ferrell's How You Leave Them Feeling. Ferrell encourages readers to adopt his approach in any interaction. The goal is to leave each person feeling good about himself and thus feeling good about you. When you do this, Mr. Ferrell maintains, you will be on the way to living the life you deserve, getting what you want out of life, and "living the good life now."

Ferrell begins with a rousing introduction in which he explains the idea of the book. He describes how he saw that his own success was based on his ability to consistently leave clients and others feeling good about themselves. Then he sets the table for the main course by listing the principles on which he has built his own life. (He calls them the "Seven Essential Laws of Life".)

In the thirteen chapters that follow, he delivers the details of his Seven Essential Laws and explains how they relate to leaving others feeling good about themselves and you. He explores subjects of attitude, communication, personal and professional development, building a support network, maintaining a healthy balance in life and more, illustrating liberally with real-life anecdotes and summing up with bits of catchy wisdom.

Some memorable points of the book for me were:

* The idea of the personal signature or unique style by which each of us becomes known.

* An emphasis on kindness and giving to others.

* The importance of attitude - along with a piece of good advice: "When in doubt, leave it out... it is far easier to revisit a situation and provide

additional messages than it is to take back a wrongful or inappropriate remark stemming from an attitude glitch."

* The importance of listening: "Sharpening your listening skills will bring you more respect and interpersonal growth than just about any other endeavor. People like to feel they are being heard. When you clearly listen to others, you are honoring the power of communication by investing the time to take in their message."

* The challenge to leave everything - and everyone - better than you found them.

The readability of Ferrell's practical and crisply written material is helped by consistent organization and formatting. The text is laid out with lots of white space between paragraphs and broken up with bold-face headings. The main points of each chapter are listed again at the conclusion as action steps. A list of summary points (one-sentence statements that describe how following the actions steps will impact the reader's behavior) and affirmations (brief positive statements for the reader to repeat or reflect on) conclude each chapter.

Jesse Ferrell, the man, comes across as enthusiastic, likeable, a great friend and team player with lots of drive, integrity and clear goals. As a former executive within the Las Vegas casino marketing industry, he is now president and CEO of a professional speaking company, JessTalk Speaking Services, and seems eminently qualified to write a book of this kind. His experience in the corporate world gives added value to the personal and professional development section via the diary system he has developed and illustrates. He now works as a life coach and the "JessTalk Life Quadrant Model" he has developed for clients drives home his point about the need for and means of achieving a balanced lifestyle.

I gained much from the book. However, I would not adopt it carte blanche as my personal road guide. It is written from a humanistic perspective and is birthed out of a New Age worldview (bad energy, good energy, karma, the Cosmos, evolved soul, mantra, Mother Nature, envisioning/visualization are all terms or concepts found within). With that in mind, however, I would say that you can learn much of value from How You Leave Them Feeling whatever your creed.

I have encountered many of its principles in my own belief system and I decided, as I read it, to use what I could and simply discard the things with which I didn't agree. It has certainly made me think twice about how I will treat the next telemarketer, panhandler, supermarket clerk or whomever - and that's got to be a good thing.
