		<description>Wendy,
I just found your site because someone mentioned Alexa and then ironically, I read your post which was only too perfect. It was the exact message I needed to hear. I created a game called Shift that, like The Secret, shows us that our thoughts create our reality. It actually shows us what those thoughts are. 

I admit I&#039;ve been ignoring my blogging to focus on our corporate trainings and the work we do with kids... and all that other stuff that as women working from home, takes precedence. (I commit to baking a cake for my husband&#039;s birthday this weekend- that and the laundry will happen!). So, I went to check our traffic, which unlike you and your readers has received little of my attention even though I sold internet advertising for 7 years in SF and thought I knew everything about viral marketing. I guess I just gave up on it because I started to believe we&#039;d need a PR agency or at least some college students to start posting for us. And yet, I&#039;ve really been ok seeing that our traffic is consistent without growth.

Then I came to your post and got so excited about who you are, what you&#039;re doing and your amazing chart that shows the correclation of your thought with your traffic rankings. I love it. Like most of us, I&#039;m sure, I&#039;ve had my valleys and my pinnacles and am notice that When I&#039;m in it or just running my male energy because there&#039;s so much on my plate, I stop writing. 

For me writing is my catharsis and I think I&#039;ve censored myself a bit and only wrote when I thought I could represent &quot;The Shift.&quot; Yes, a shift in thought can shift your life...and yes, it can happen in an instant. And yet, there are times when shifting is a gradual change of direction, like a ship changing course and after reading your post, I feel you&#039;ve given me a reminder to be gentle with myself and let it all show on my blog... 

After all, I&#039;m training my mental muscles and some days it really is like bending spoons.  Thank you for reminding me that the good stuff comes before what we grow into and it&#039;s ok to be in that place too.

Thank you, 
Nicole</description>

		<description>Wow Wendy, what an awesome illustration of &quot;The Secret&quot; aka the Law of Attraction!  It is so true, so powerful.  I have seen this law work in my own life - exude positiveness and enthusiasm, and so much more comes back.  The results are unimaginable!  Truly amazing.</description>

		<description>Let me just say that I am THRILLED to find your site, and to see the previous posts mention Oprah&#039;s show today and The Secret! I determined this year would be the year that I would become a Problogger, although this is all new to me, and in doing research the last few weeks, was disappointed to find so few women doing this. I put up my very brand new blog this week, and low and behold, got my first comment tonight from Darren Rowse, THE problogger himself, who recommended your site for me to check out. This world does work in mysterious ways. 

I could write a lot more here, but it is very late, but I plan on reading much more of your stuff this weekend and will be sure to post again!</description>

		<description>Wendy, 
I have experienced this also. My goal is to hit 500,000 alexia by the end of this month, it will be the second month my site has been up. I think It is actualy going to happen by the end of next week. When I start judging myself and getting down I allways remind myself to focus on what I want to attract and it works as a charm every time and I feel better!
Stay present,
Hethir</description>

		<description>As a result of watching the Oprah show today, I thought I would just check and see if anyone was blogging about The Secret.  I figured I&#039;d find a lot of people trying to sell the book and such, but instead I came across this.  You.  Making a point to show how you&#039;re using the law of attraction in your own life.  I&#039;m taking this as an inspiration to integrate this stuff into my life.  I&#039;ve actually been making some of the right strides (unknowingly) over the last few months, so this all sort of feels like validation and maybe a bit of a &quot;carrot on a stick.&quot;

Congratulations on your success.  I&#039;m planning to learn from your example.</description>

		<description>Thanks Wendy, I must be drawn to your blog today for this very post because I just wrote at Start Up Princess last night that I was searching for entrepreneneurs who were living &quot;the secret&quot; www.thesecret.tv, being featuring today on Oprah! I knew you lived the law of attraction as I do and I wrote about how I envisioned my traffic to increase from 250 to 400 and it did yesterday now I am envisioning it to double every month with smart strategy, a redesign, and marketing--because we know that &quot;faith without works is dead&quot; and that your numbers as mine will utterly drop if we aren&#039;t good writers and have good content. Now I have absolute validation and confirmation that I will also make my goals because not only have you proven it and attracting it, but so am I and will continue. You&#039;re my Fairy Godmother, Wendy for good reason. Take care! :)</description>
