I followed a link to her blog post, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/livinggratitude.wordpress.com\/2008\/12\/24\/off-to-see-the-wizard-the-myth-of-personal-development\/\" target=\"_blank\">Off to See the Wizard: The Myth of Personal Development<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0 After that, I began to look in on her <a href=\"http:\/\/livinggratitude.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Living Gratitude Blog<\/a>, a weekly essay on learning to see the world through grateful eyes.\u00a0 It was no surprise then that when our paths crossed on Facebook we friended each other.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/livinggratitude.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Living Gratitude Blog<\/a> was part of a larger project called The Attitude of Gratitude Project, whose mission is to help make the world a better place by encouraging people to focus on all the things that are right about this world.\u00a0 Based on the idea that the spoken and written word holds immense creative power, The Attitude of Gratitude Project encourages people to develop a daily practice of verbally expressing their gratefulness for the people and the blessings that surround them.<\/p>\n<p>The Attitude of Gratitude Project, as first conceived, was designed to encourage people to send greeting cards telling their loved ones how much they appreciate having them in their life.\u00a0 As a distributor with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sendoutcards.com\/valerie\" target=\"_blank\">SendOutCards<\/a>, Valerie was looking for a way to encourage people to develop the habit of sending greeting cards.\u00a0 So she brought her laptop to the first meeting of the Space Coast Oratorio Society, and one by one had people sit down and dictate a letter to their husband, sister, wife, mother, teacher \u2026 someone who had made a significant difference in their life.\u00a0\u00a0 Each time someone sat down to write a card, they sobbed with the force of the love and gratitude that was bubbling out of them.\u00a0 She sent eleven cards that day, and eleven times the person dictating the message was moved to tears.\u00a0 At the next week\u2019s rehearsal, those eleven people came back and told the story of what happened when the people got those emotion-filled cards.\u00a0 As they told the story, they cried all over again.\u00a0 Valerie was a bit unprepared for the intensity of it all.<\/p>\n<p>In order to bring that experience to more people, Valerie had a website built that would point to her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sendoutcards.com\/valerie\" target=\"_blank\">SendOutCards<\/a> website, so that she could offer free gratitude cards to more people all over the world.\u00a0 Valerie would like to invite my readers to follow her link and click on the banner to test out that gratitude card experiment by sending out one free card.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know, I think she might be sorry for that invitation.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure she realizes how many of my readers will take her up on it!<\/p>\n<p>TheAttitudeofGratitudeProject.com became home to the Living Gratitude Blog and an online gratitude journal.\u00a0 Unfortunately, security issues\u00a0 forced her to move the blog to WordPress and the gratitude journal to Facebook, where it became <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/The-Attitude-of-Gratitude-Project\/110925491619\" target=\"_blank\">The Attitude of Gratitude Project Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What seemed to be a setback turned out to be a lucky break.\u00a0 In just three months, <a href=\"http:\/\/TheAttitudeOfGratitudeProject.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Attitude of Gratitude Project<\/a> Page has grown to over 3000 fans in more than 20 different countries from all over the world.\u00a0 People stop by every day to share their gratitude in an effort to focus only on the positive aspects of their world.\u00a0 During those three months the Project, as it is called, has become a community of\u00a0 like-minded people sharing in each others joys and sorrows.\u00a0 Deep relationships have been formed between people who otherwise would have never met.\u00a0 She has two rules:\u00a0 all posts must be positive, and no selling or link suggestions are allowed.\u00a0 She is brutal in deleting posts that don\u2019t follow these rules, because she wants to maintain the Page as a space where people can be open without feeling like prey.<\/p>\n<p>Valerie has been deeply influenced in these endeavors by two people.\u00a0 The first was her voice teacher and mentor, Dr. Vernon Boushell, who taught her what love looks like by teaching her to see the world with grateful eyes.\u00a0 The second influence was Abraham-Hicks.\u00a0 The Prosperity Project was actually suggested by Abraham in Money and the Law of Attraction.\u00a0 Valerie listened to the audio version of that book, and when she heard how the game works she decided to play it in an interactive format to see how it would affect her strained relationship with money.<\/p>\n<p>Do the Prosperity Project with us.\u00a0 It\u2019s fun and puts you in the vibrational mode for attracting more dollars. Wow, what if all of us began doing this and attracting gazillions of dollars?<\/p>\n<p>The media would have a field day.<\/p>\n<p>Valerie\u2019s websites are:<br \/>\nSendOutCards\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sendoutcards.com\/valerie\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.sendoutcards.com\/valerie<\/a><br \/>\nThe Attitude of Gratitude Project FB Page\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/TheAttitudeOfGratitudeProject.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/TheAttitudeOfGratitudeProject.com<\/a><br \/>\nLiving Gratitude Blog\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livinggratitude.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.livinggratitude.com<\/a><br \/>\nThe Prosperity Project at The New Book of Clues, at <a href=\"http:\/\/thenewbookofclues.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/thenewbookofclues.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/valerie-sauers-prosperity-project-1000-more-each-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Valerie Saurer&#8217;s Prosperity Project &#8211; $1,000 More Each Day&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/valerie-sauers-prosperity-project-1000-more-each-day\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/valerie-sauers-prosperity-project-1000-more-each-day\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/valerie-sauers-prosperity-project-1000-more-each-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Valerie%20Saurer&#8217;s%20Prosperity%20Project%20&#8211;%20$1,000%20More%20Each%20Day&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/valerie-sauers-prosperity-project-1000-more-each-day\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend has come up with a fun game that helps get you in the vibration of attracting more dollars.\u00a0 The Prosperity Project can be found at Valerie Saurer\u2019s blog The New Book of Clues.\u00a0 The idea is to get used to having, spending, and enjoying money.
