Miracle Maps Valentine's Giveaway

One of my most favorite books is "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. Reading about the power of positive thinking and the law of attraction has truly changed my life for the better.

Visualization is a key aspect to the law of attraction. If you can visualize your hopes and dreams, it's much easier to think positively about them and attract them to yourself. But, if you're as busy as I am, it's not always easy to create the tools you need to help you visualize your dreams, such as a vision board.

Now, there is a line of products available that makes it simple and easy to create your own, personal vision board. Inspired by the book, "The Secret," and heralded by celebrities such as Oprah, Miracle Maps contain the materials needed to create an inspirational vision board designed to help achieve definitive goals in life using the power of visualization.





I had the opportunity to review both of the Miracle Maps Sets: Achieving Prosperity and Attracting Your Soul Mate.

Each kit contains the following:

• Large magnetized tri-fold display board
• 100 full-color magnetized inspirational words and affirmation phrases
• 10 self-adhesive pieces to attach your own photos
• More than 100 “linking words” and blanks to allow you to customize the perfect visualization of your goals.
• Attractive keepsake box

Attracting Your Soul Mate is perfect for anyone who is still looking for "The One." I'm giving my kit to my 19-year-old daughter for Valentine's Day. The kit is made of sturdy, high-quality material and the box holds everything together even after you've created your board.



Achieving Prosperity is my favorite, especially in these difficult economic times. My focus is financial security, rather than vast millions, but you can tailor your board to whatever it is you want to attract. I also used some of the "travel" magnets and added my own picture of DisneyWorld because one of my dreams is to be able to go there with my family this summer.

Just as with Attracting Your Soul Mate, Achieving Prosperity is very appealing visually and made of durable, high-quality material. I keep my extra magnets in the storage bins (and can thus change my board around as I like) and my vision board folds up nicely and is stored inside of the attractive box.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, what better time to look for YOUR soul mate if you haven't already found him/her? Or maybe you know someone who could use some help. Thanks to Miracle Maps and Southard, Inc., one lucky reader will win the Attracting Your Soulmate kit, worth $29.95!

Clorox Green Works Wipes

I've been a fan of Clorox Green Works products ever since they came onto the market. So I was very excited to hear that they have developed "Natural Biodegradable Cleaning Wipes."

I love cleaning wipes, as it is so easy to keep surfaces in your entire house clean with just a few swipes of the cloth. But with Clorox Green Works wipes, I have the added assurance that what I'm wiping my surfaces with is 99% natural and biodegradable. I feel so much better knowing that my kids' hands aren't going to come in contact with harsh chemicals after I've cleaned.

The wipes work on most non-wood surfaces, including acrylic, fiberglass and vinyl. My favorite place to use them is the bathroom, especially when you have unexpected company and need to do a quick touch-up.

Not only is it good for the home, it's also good for the environment. The wipes are made from 100% cellulose fibers and derived from renewable farm grown trees. Like all Green Works products, they are formulated using biodegradable ingredients, are packaged in recyclable canisters and not tested on animals.

Also, the new Green Works Natural Biodegradable Cleaning Wipes feature the Sierra Club logo on their package, marking the brand's financial commitment to support the organization's conservation efforts, and are recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for using environmentally preferred chemistry.

Click here to learn more about Green Works Natural Biodegradable Cleaning Wipes, and visit their main page to find fabulous and FREE tips on keeping your home natural.

You'll also find a "Green Heroes Grant Program" where you could be one of five "Green Heroes" who win a $10,000 grant to help your eco-friendly community project grow and flourish. Good luck!
