Rebels with a Cause
I just got back from Fairfax High School, the Home of the Rebels, where I spoke with the Leadership Class. In addition to planning the traditional standbys like homecoming and prom, these outstanding students are involved in several service projects throughout the year. Now they’re looking to raise awareness as ONE!
The student leaders quickly came up with a range of ideas to get the community involved in the fight against poverty from a visit with their congressman to a ONE shout-out on the stadium scoreboard! Expect great things from the leadership at FHS! More to come!

Metaphysicians who practice successful prosperity consciousness often find that affirming luck or winning is actually limiting to their wealth. This is because Universal Mind works best open-ended. We’re more likely to succeed if we focus on a more specific result than money initially, such as a nicer home.,love.
