			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>How goes it?  I guess I could &#8220;briefly&#8221; bring you up to speed.  Since we last spoke which was June 23rd, I have been a very busy girl with TONS of changes I have been keeping secret until now. </p>
<p>Here is a list of the highlights:</p>
<p>In the past 6 weeks, I have in this order:</p>
<ul>
<li>hung out in Melbourne with 2 of the coolest people I have ever met: Todd James &#038; his effing cool as shit wife Rikki-Jean James.  Damn, they are awesome!!!</li>
<li>discovered what TRUE LOVE looks like and feels like after being with them.  Thanks guys!</li>
<li>Spent 2 more days freezing my ass off and complaining &#038; being depressed in Melbourne.  Decided that I had to get the hell out of there.</li>
<li>took a very long bus ride from Melbourne to Sydney</li>
<li>had an amazing time at my dear friend Joseph&#8217;s birthday party in Sydney</li>
<li>decided that my time in Australia needed to come to an end and I needed to visit my family in Kansas City</li>
<li>spent the most gloriously amazing last day in Sydney walking all over my favorite city and taking my last set of photos.  You can view the pics on my Facebook page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sheila.brown2" title="http://www.facebook.com/sheila.brown2" class="autohyperlink" target="_blank">www.facebook.com&#8230;</a> </li>
<li>Flown back to Los Angeles on Virgin</li>
<li>spent one day in Los Angeles at Kraftland before embarking on a 10 day, 3,800 mile RV trip with friends</li>
<li> learned to drive a huge RV – totally rocked it out</li>
<li>spent an amazing night in my favorite luxury suite in Vegas – The Pallazo tower at The Venecian. </li>
<li>Thanked God &#038; RK for getting me back to my life of luxury!! </li>
<li>Saw the Beatles inspired show &#8216;Love&#8217; at The Mirage</li>
<li>got to know 2 old/new friends, Rob &#038; Crystal Minkoff really well.  They rock!!</li>
<li>Got to know Nicky&#8217;s totally awesome girlfriend, Rachel!  Young love rocks!</li>
<li>toured the Liberace museum!!!  </li>
<li>hiked in the Grand Canyon in 100 degree heat</li>
<li>drove thru Roswell New Mexico and did not see any aliens</li>
<li>received the best massage of my entire life in Santa Fe New Mexico</li>
<li>made a crazy escape from what seemed like The Bates Motel in Carlsbad NM</li>
<li>had a ball eating at awesome roadside diners that Crystal picked out all over NM &#038; TX</li>
<li>ate more tex-mex than anyone should be allowed by law</li>
<li>hiked several miles under the earth at Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico</li>
<li>spent a hot ass 2 days in my favorite city Austin Texas. Ate tons of bbq &#038; got to connect with my dear friend Teri</li>
<li>spent 2 hot ass days in a mega-luxurious resort in San Antonio eating room services for 2 days while Richard &#038; the young-uns enjoyed the heat</li>
<li>lost my drivers license</li>
<li>made some major life decisions as to what I want to do next- sort of, LOL</li>
<li>set off thousands of dollars of fireworks on the fourth of july in a roadside parking lot somewhere between El Paso &#038; Phoenix</li>
<li>spent one day in LA at Kraftland and then limoed down to Orange County to spend 2 days with my sister friend Barbi.</li>
<li>Was happy as fuck to discover that I still fit in the size 31 True Religion jeans I lost 55lbs to fit into last year!!  I&#8217;m a lil bit thicker, but I still look GOOD!!!  </li>
<li>Picked up my Gucci Luggage and a small portion of my Gucci purses that I stored at Babi&#8217;s</li>
<li>Got on a plane and flew to my hometown Kansas City.</li>
<li>Got to ride in my Mommy&#8217;s new red convertible corvette</li>
<li>spent a week living with my best friend Christa and my niece Cara &#038; hubby Clark &#038; Gracie</li>
<li>had a flirtation with their neighbor – didn&#8217;t go anywhere with it though. </li>
<li>Left Kansas City in my big ass Cadillac Escalade and drove to Dallas</li>
<li>spent 3 days in Dallas with my family</li>
<li>left Dallas and drove to my new home&#8230;.</li>
</ul>
<p>Wondering where I ended up?   It&#8217;s been a secret for the 3 weeks I have been here.   I&#8217;ll fill you guys in later on where I have decided to set up my new life.  It&#8217;s definitely not Beverly Hills!!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello All!  How goes it Mates?  Things are good here in the land of OZ, however, I am feeling the internal rumblings of the need for MAJOR change yet again.  Just lying still until the message is more clear.  </p>
<p>Anyway, one of the changes I am ready for is true love/companionship in my life.  I am beyond over the pattern of meeting men that I want to be with and they are not into me and/or meeting men that I am not into and I cannot get rid of them.  It&#8217;s become absurdly comical when the men that I have absolutely no attraction to whatsoever criticize me (veiled as &#8220;helpful&#8221; advice) by saying that I am &#8220;closed to Love&#8221; and that is why I am single.  Well NO SHIT Sherlock -like you as a friend but you don&#8217;t remotely get my juices flowing, so uh YEAH, the doors are CLOSED!!! What is it going to take for me to meet just one Man that is completely into me and vice versa?  I know that everyone says be patient, but DAYUM!!!  I know that I am not perfect and I have a lot more work to do, but can a Sistah get some consistent affection in the meantime?  LOL</p>
<p>I am a regular reader of blogs that promote the interest of strong, beautiful Black Women and one of them is <a href="http://www.alphanista.com  ">http://www.alphanista.com  </a>created by the beautiful Maryann Reid.  She sent an email to her list that spoke to me and I think it may speak to my fellow single readers that are looking for love.  I&#8217;m going to adopt these tactics as I continue to work on softening &#038; opening my heart.  </p>
<p>Here is the post:</p>
<p>Getting The Love You Deserve&#8211;The GAME</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just a love game, but life&#8217;s a game. </p>
<p>A game of ask and receive.   Sometimes, we question if it can really be that easy.  Oh, it is.  The problem lies in our end when we don&#8217;t believe.  Specifically, when it comes to love.  Here&#8217;s a story.</p>
<p>A lady I met a business conference told me about a time in her life when she hadn&#8217;t had sex in three years, or even been on a date.  I asked her what she did to turn it around.  The rock on her ring finger blinded me!</p>
<p>She told me that around the 3rd year, she felt her life was never going to change.  She was 36 and over the time, had gained 25 pounds.  She was overweight, getting bitter, and slowly shutting herself down.  She had little friends, because everyone had moved, had kids, or married off.  So, what she did was take a pen and paper.  She started to sketch about once or twice a week the life she wanted&#8211;a garden, a handsome, loving husband, children, a better job, and her own home.  She wrote and drew intricate details.  She told me, in about the 3rd week, she got an invitation to housesit for a relative in Martha&#8217;s Vineyard. </p>
<p>She spent half the summer secluded in all its beauty, and still a little depressed there was no one to share with.  Low and behold, her next door neighbors invited her to a BBQ a few weeks later, and she met him.  Him, who?  Him, her husband.  They got married in a few months.  It happened quick, clean, and fast.  He was 44, divorced, and ready, too.  She now lives in Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, and everything she has sketched has come to pass&#8211;everything.</p>
<p>Many folks don&#8217;t know how to ask. They either create their own system or use one that is tried and true.  Either way, start rolling up your sleeves, use your inner resources, and cause a dramatic shift in your love life&#8211;like magic.<br />
With love,<br />
Maryann<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Everyone.  Sorry I have been MIA for the past several weeks.  There have been lots of changes going on, some I can share and some I cannot.  This may end up being a long boring post.</p>
<p>First, I finally left my favorite city in Australia, Sydney on May 19th.  After 8 weeks there, the Universe told me that it was time to move on for now.  As it is my favorite city, I will be returning in the near future. I was going to head straight to Melbourne, but an unexpected &#038; happy  detour was placed in my path (it feels great to just say &#8220;YES&#8221;).  I ended up meeting someone that has become an amazing Internet Marketing Mentor to me and I went to go and stay in their city &#8211; a very small town between Sydney and Melbourne for 3 1/2 weeks.  It was supposed to be for just a week, but as we started working together, it became apparent to both of us that I had some internal work involving some Major UNBLOCKING (personally &#038; professionally) so that is what we spent our first week doing &#8211; along with getting to know enach other.  Week 2 was spent sharing ideas/resources and me learning/implementing and the unexpected week 3 was spent doing the same along with the student teaching the Mentor as well.  It was awesome sharing that energy.  I can honestly say that those 3 weeks were a major blessing in my life that will stay with me forever.  My Mentor and I have developed a very deep &#038; real friendship and I look forward to many more times spent together learning from each other, working with each other on successful projects, sharing resources, supporting each other and getting to know each other better.  I grew in ways that I never knew possible and for that I publicly say, &#8220;Thank you A. for so graciously opening up your home, life &#038; family to me. I truly appreciate your brilliance, generous sweet spirit &#038; kind heart and I have much Love &#038; adoration for you.&#8221;  </p>
<p>After sadly leaving this small, beautiful town on June 6th, I took the bus 4 hours south to Melbourne.  I have very much looked forward to going to Melbourne as I have heard &#038; read many wonderful things about it. It is known as being one of the most Liveable cities in the world.  I had also heard horror stories about its weather though.  It is known for frequently having 4 seasons in one day and this is seriously the biggest understatement ever made!!  My girlfriend from Sydney, Ceri, joined me in Melbourne from Monday the 8th to Wednesday the 10th of June.  I spent my first 2 nights in Melbourne staying with my friend Paul &#8211; I met him at an Internet Marketing conference my first month here and we kept in touch.  He has a beautiful apartment in the seaside suburb called St. Kilda.  It is a totally awesome bohemian, arty, cool area of Melbourne &#8211; in my opinion, the best area of Melbourne.  He lives in a beautiful waterfront apartment &#038; he let me couchsurf for 2 nights before I checked into my hostel with Ceri.  On my first night, we went to an R&#038;B night that coincidentally happened to be at a bar that one of my other friends in Melbourne, Dan owns.  It is called The Laundry and it is an awesome club!!  It was crazy though because there are literally thousands of bars in Melbourne and for this once a month event to be at my friends club was beyond weird.  The R&#038;B night was pretty weak because it ended up being dj&#8217;s playing music from the 50&#8242;s &#038; 60&#8242;s and not Black R&#038;B from the 70&#8242;s-90&#8242;s as Paul &#038; I expected.  It was really great seeing Dan again though.</p>
<p>Ms. Ceri Jones arrived in Melbourne on Monday morning and I was soooooo glad to see her.  She has been traveling up the East Coast for the past 2 months and it was good to have my gorgeous partner in crime back.  We spent 2 1/2 days exploring Melbourne by foot and experiencing every type of weather you can possibly imagine.  In one day, we went thru 2 thunder storms, followed by sunshine, followed by an antarctic tornado follwed by hail followed by more rain!!!   WTF?!?!?!  It is so psycho that I literally felt like I was losing my mind. We did get to party on Monday night in St. Kilda at a club called The Vinery &#8211; my new regular hangout since I heard that the pro rugby players hang there on Sundays!!  Yay!!  Huge men in little shorts &#8211; I am ALLLLLLLL over that!!!  Yummy!!  hehehehe  Had a great time with another girl from New Zealand that was staying in our room and decided to join us.  We met up with another group of girls at the bar and danced, drank and partied for several hours.  Sadly, Ceri &#038; I had to part on Wednesday &#8211; she left for the Outback &#038; New Zealand then back home to England on the 25th of June and I left for Christchurch New Zealand on Wednesday for 2 days.  </p>
<p>Christchurch:  I just returned from 2 days in Christchurch, New Zealand. I had to leave Australia &#038; go to Christchurch for Visa reasons.  I am on a one year tourist visa and I can only be in Australia for up to 3 months at a time otherwise I will be an illegal alien and Australia DOES NOT PLAY when it comes to immigration.  They will kick your ass out of the country quick-fast-and in a hurry!! When I return to OZ on Saturday, my 3 months starts over again.  Christchurch is a really pretty town, thankfully not freezing cold as it is supposed to be.  I spent the days touring around, doing free things &#8211; going to art galleries, trolly tour of the town, walking all over the city, museum &#038; I took the gondola up to the top of a mountain area and got some great photos.  I actually met a fellow American while on the Gondola.  I have only met 4 other traveling Americans out of hundreds of travelers over the past 3 months.  I think it is so incredibly pathetic how our culture does not encourage international travel as other countries do.  Anyway, the American I met is named George and he is from San Francisco.  He is in NZ to be a Rugby referree.  He was soooooooo cute and sweet!!  It cracks me up how with the exception of one person, all the men that I have met that I am attracted to are all American.  I thought I would have many flirtations with foreign guys this trip but that is sooooooo not the case.  </p>
<p>When I returned to Melbourne on Saturday the 13th of June, I was immediately overcome with a wave of sadness/borderline depression.  This completely alarmed me because for many years, I battled depression (overcame it several years ago thankfully) and it is no joke &#038; I am very careful to not let it reappear back into my life.  Melbourne was incredibly cold and gray as usual and this really sent me downhill.  I have that weather affliction that many folks in Seattle have in which I have to be in sunny weather or else my mood is greatly affected.  I had originally thought I would be here for 2 months, but due to the weather, I&#8217;ve had to amend that to one month.  </p>
<p>While back in Melbourne, I was able to work out my tentative travel plans for OZ &#038; the next 12 months: Stay in Melbourne for the next 4 weeks doing some internet consulting work and building up the cash reserves, make new friends and settle down for a second.  I am going thru money like it is water!!  Dayum!! I&#8217;m over the whole backpacker/hostel thing so I&#8217;ll be looking for a shortterm roommate situation in St. Kilda. After that, it&#8217;s time to start traveling/having fun again.  Heading North for fun in the sun in Cairns on July 15th.   Will spend 4 weeks in the Great Barrier Reef and traveling down the east coast having beach fun as I head back to Sydney (more consulting work for $$$).  Tentatively in Sydney from August 5 &#8211; Sept. 12 and then leaving OZ to have 3 weeks glorious weeks of Pacific Island fun in Fiji and Vanautu then Maui, Hawaii for a week before hitting Los Angeles around October 1st.   I&#8217;ll be in the States until December 20th spending time in LA, TX, KC, Jamaica for Halloween &#8211; Hedo II baby!! &#038; Vegas.  I&#8217;ll hit the road again on 12/20/09 with my Mommy to spend Christmas in the sun on some island, then we&#8217;ll head to Sydney for New years.  I&#8217;ll then continue on alone in mid January with 3 weeks in New Zealand touring both islands now that it will be warm. This now has me into early February where I&#8217;d like to head to South America for a month to celebrate Carnivale in Rio followed by stops in Buenos Aires Argentina &#038; the coast of Honduras.  Gotta find someplace to set down roots for 2 months from March &#8211; May 2010 &#8211; this will probably be LA.  I&#8217;ll then go to KC in June to pick up my Goddaughter to take her to Europe for June &#038; July for her 13th birthday present.  I&#8217;m sooooooo looking forward to that Divalicious trip!!   If anyone wants to join me for any of my travels, just hit me up on Facebook.  I&#8217;d love the company!! </p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m rambling and you guys are probably bored.  I have definitely settled into a routine of non-thrilling stuff.  I&#8217;m just focused and pre-occupied with things as the newness of being in OZ is starting to wear off and I am back to being regular old Sheila.</p>
<p>Love you guys and Ciao for now!!  </p>
<p>xoxoxo</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sat March 14th &#8211; The conference was great.  Met tons of people, made lots of connections, learned lots of stuff&#8230;yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to talk about Euro.</p>
<p>So, I wake up all giggly and smiley just like a damn girl.  I met a boy, I met a boy and I&#8217;m going to get him to ask me out today!  I get sort of cute &#8211; keep in mind that my effing curling iron burned up day one. It is now day 3 and the hair is not looking good.  I have to rock my green hat for the rest of the damn event.  That kills several of the majorly cute outfits I would like to wear.  How can I be sexy, alluring &amp; professional without looking like I am trying to be?  Oh yeah, tight jeans, cute sandals and a tight, yet tastful, boobie revealing top.  Niiiiiiiice!!  I head downstairs with my mission very clear&#8230;find Euro and make him mine!!  I get down early to get my up front seat and I am cooly and casually scanning the crowd. He&#8217;s tall (6&#8217;3&#8243; &#8211; I likeeeee) and his look is distinctive so he will be easy to spot.  Damn, I don&#8217;t see him anywhere!  I sit with my friends David and others and listen to all the great content. Lunch break &#8211; gotta find him.  He is still now where to be seen.  After lunch, I spot him!  I make a cool, calculated, sexy beeline over to him and say &#8220;hi&#8221; all while thanking God that I had time after lunch to go to the room and completely spruce &#8211; fresh breath, deodorant reapplied, make-up tightened up, big chocolate boobies pulled up &amp; pushed in nice and high in the push up bra.  Oh yeah, I&#8217;m armed and ready!! I saunter over to Euro and ask where he&#8217;s been all day. He tells me that he had work to do (me likeee that answer. Gotta make that paper!!).  We chat for a bit before I had to go to my seat.  He asks me if I would like to meet in the bar after the conference for some wine.  BINGO!!!  I told ya&#8217;ll ladies, this shit works!!!!  I smile my big chester cheetah smile and I say, &#8220;of course&#8221;. I&#8217;ll meet you at 8:00pm.  Needless to say, I didn&#8217;t hear a word that was said at WIS the rest of the conference.  We broke for the evening at 7:00.  I had one hour to get get super sexy, again, without looking like I&#8217;m trying.  I shower and put on the same jeans with another cute top.  Redo the makeup and hair and out the door I go to meet Euro. Real-deal Holyfield details are reserved for my V.I.P. group of grown girls, so I&#8217;ll keep this brief.  We met for drinks and really connected.  After 2 bottles of wine, we decided to go to dinner.  Had a great dinner &#8211; lots more drinks and convo. and it was back to the hotel to rest up for the long day ahead of us the next morning.   Okay, okay, there was some major kissing involved. but as I said, only my &#8220;grown girls&#8221; and ya&#8217;ll know who you are will get the REAL SCOOP and it&#8217;s good!!!  hehehehehehe</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>March 13th &#8211; It does not take me long does it!! Day 2 baby!!  Day started at 9:00 &#8211; I&#8217;m on row 3.  Tons of different speakers with so much content, I am transfixed on the knowledge I am receiving.  Toward the end of the day, Susan and I duck out and go sit on a sofa in the lobby.  This guy comes over and asks can he join us. I am brain dead at this point so I really didn&#8217;t notice him, but of course we say yes.  We start talking &#8211; the obligatory &#8220;what do you do&#8221; question.  Susan and I give our spiel and he (I won&#8217;t give his name to protect the innocent. I&#8217;ll call him &#8220;Euro&#8221; as he had a very European style with his dress that was sexy.) has a site that is in a niche that I would have never thought of.  Once you hear it, it is super obvious, however, you would never imagine that there is a market for it.  Turns out there is and he is VERY successful.  Hmmmm&#8230;my interest is piqued lol.  He is actually really cute, however, it doesn&#8217;t seem like he is interested in me too much, so I don&#8217;t &#8220;turn on the charm&#8221; like I usually would.  We all ended up talking for a bit more and then it was time to go back into the conference.  Later that night as Susan and I were getting ready to go to bed, she mentions that it looked like Euro was really interested in me.  I&#8217;m like &#8220;HUH??? Seriously?!?&#8221;   Tidbit about me:  I am actually totally shy and completely clueless when it comes to knowing if a guy is into me. If I really like someone, I get all quiet and girly and if he does not make a move, then I miss out. Once she said this to me, I replayed the meeting in my head and I realized that he was giving off signals that he was interested.  I decided the next day to make my move as I thought he was really cute.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s day one of WIS and I truly cannot believe I&#8217;m here.  I only found out about WIS in late December and even though I had no earthly idea as to how I would get here financially or logistically, I made the decision in Dec. that come March, I would be here and HERE I AM!!!  GOD IS GOOD!!  I am supposed to be here!!I start out the morning with a shower, get dressed and then proceed to do my hair.  I decided to go for mega dramatic hair for this trip and got my new weave with 22in long hair.  Just to help you visualize, remember Cher in the 70&#8242;s and how long her hair was &#8211; yeah, that was 22 inches!!  My hair is down to my big chocolate bootie and it looks good!!  I got Indian Wavy from extensions plus &#8211; <a href="http://extensions-plus.com/" target="_blank">http://extensions-plus.com</a> &#8211; the absolute best place to buy quality hair.  This will last me for years.  Anyway, I plug in my curling iron with my aussie adapter and after 5 minutes, I pick up my iron to curl my hair and I notice the iron is turning black.  Huh???  I took a small piece of hair to curl and within 1/2 seconds, my hair was burning.  DAMN!!! The voltage here in OZ is 220v and my curling iron is only up to 120v.  My curling iron burned the hell up!!  That also means that my flat iron won&#8217;t work.  Ain&#8217;t this a bitch!!!  My sista-girls will understand the seriousness of this situation &#8211; here I am all the way across the damn world in a land where there are NO BLACK PEOPLE, much less any sistas that need a curling iron that gets super hot to make my pretty curls or to straighten this suff when I want to rock the silky straight.  What am I gonna do???  Luckily, I just got this hair put in right before my flight so it was not looking crazy so I was able to fluff it and go and be okay. The rest of the three days when I am counting on &#8220;pimping the pretty&#8221; and need to rock some fly hair, uh yeah, I have no clue.</p>
<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s now about 8:15 and the doors to the conference open at 9:00am.  I plan on being front and center as my golden strategy that I employ at every conference/seminar I attend is to be sitting within the first 2-4 rows on an end seat so that when they call for questions, I get to stand up, front and center in front of the entire room of usually 500+ people, take the microphone and say something incredibly profound. I do this early &amp; fairly often in the conference so that the whole room gets to see me, hear me &amp; make the decision that they want to get to know me. (Golden tip #1 &#8211; if they call for someone to go up onstage &#8211; get your ass up out of your seat and be the first one up!!} It saves me the stress of having to introduce myself to people as they now come to me. As I am almost always the ONLY BLACK WOMAN IN THE ROOM or the only one that is halfway &#8220;Diva-Delicious&#8221; looking, I always have a beeline of men that will buzz around trying to get my attention throughout the weekend and I get to pick and choose who I want to be with like a Queen Bee.</p>
<p>Ladies, pay CLOSE attention to what I am about to tell you as I am about to drop some SERIOUS man-getting knowledge on you that I need to be getting paid for. Fellas, I am going waaaaaaay off topic here, so you can tune out.  As I mentioned in my &#8220;about me&#8221; page, one of my 3 objectives in traveling is to meet lots of hot, sexy men.  For those of you that do not know me, this also typically means WEALTHY men &#8211; should be a given, but some of you are not informed.  My girlfriends are always asking me where in the world do I meet all of the p-a-i-d men that I date.  Aside from my own neighborhood &#8211; hello, why do you think I deliberatly chose to live in Beverly Hills when I moved to LA &#8211; I also go to a ton of conferences/seminars every year that attract wealthy people.  I really hope ya&#8217;ll are taking notes here!!!  You have to go to real estate, internet marketing, self-development, professional organizations, Success, wealth protection, wealth creation events/seminars.  These are all topics that are of interest to me and that I actually implement in my life.  You can&#8217;t just show up not knowing anything about the topic.  You have to have a true interest as there is a huge time &amp; financial investment in attending these events. Every one I attend (and I attend at least 5 a year), I spend anywhere from $3,000-$15,000  on each one with airfare, lodging, food and educational materials if I choose to buy courses. I am serious about investing in myself professionally, personally and educationally but I reap the rewards too. You have to be able to talk the talk and and know enough to know who the TRUE PLAYERS are.  You do not want to get stuck talking to a bunch of newbies or broke people trying to learn the &#8220;secret&#8221; to becoming rich.  Hell, you can stay home for that!!  LOL.  Do your homework ahead of time to know who is speaking and what type of people follow them. You need to be able to speak intelligently, not be shy, go talk to everyone. When you meet someone that you have an interest in, you need to be ready:  {GOLDEN TIP #2 &#8211; Have business cards made up &#8211; but not your typical business card.  Go to <a href="http://vistaprint.com" title="http://vistaprint.com" class="autohyperlink" target="_blank">vistaprint.com&#8230;</a> and get 250 cards for free.  I would actually suggest you upgrade to the next level card with the glossy finish.  You want to put your photo on the card (assuming you are pretty of course, otherwise, I really can&#8217;t help you), your full name, email and phone number. Instead of some bullshit company name and title that suckers put on their cards, simply put &#8220;Entrepreneur&#8221;. This will accomplish 3 things: 1. he&#8217;ll remember you when he pulls out your card later and there is your beautiful face looking back at him 2. he will know how to contact you and 3. he&#8217;ll be intrigued by the mystique of the &#8220;Entrepreneur&#8221; title to want to get to know you better.  You better make sure you can back that sh*t up though and really have something going on.}  Google Brian Tracy, Dan Kennedy, Jack Canfield, Armand Morin, Jeff Johnson,  Mark Victor Hansen, John Childers..etc to get a clue as to what I am talking about re: the types of events you should go to.)  Do enough homework so that you can talk about strategies briefly and ask the guy to talk about what he does.  Ladies, you know that the only voice a man wants to hear is his own  so use this to your advantage.  Listen intently to every word he says as if he is dropping gold bombs.  Nod, smile, throw in some &#8220;uh-huh&#8217;s&#8221; , ask a few questions, keep eye contact so he thinks you are really listening.  Meanwhile, you are listening trying to find out a way to connect later for drinks/dinner or lunch if it is early in the day &#8211; but only after you have determined if you are interested.  Is he totally hot and you just want a kissing buddy, is he super smart and you really want to learn from him and see if you can do some work together, is this someone you can mastermind with, will this be a lifelong friend or is he super-paid and you think you may have a winner? Either way, this stuff works!! {Golden tip #3 &#8211; if you are one of my girls that will not date interracially, then you can completely ignore my advice above as it only works with men that actually want to date a Black Woman}.<br />
Okay, so back to WIS&#8230;the first day was intros and lots of newbie info. I spent the day memorizing the agenda, familiariazing myself with the speakers and determining which ones I truly wanted to connect with and when would they be speaking.  Also spent time with my friend David. I met David at the Armand Morin conference in Phoenix the weekend of Dec 3-5 2008.  He was in the states from Australia with his family on holiday and he introduced himself to me during one of the breaks.  We ended up connecting and I met more of the people he met and at the end of the day, we had a group of about 10 that wanted to continue communicating so we created a mastermind group.  We would talk weekly on Sundays about what we internet marketing projects we were working, giving each other advice, encouragement, etc&#8230;  During one of our first calls, we were stating our goals for 2009 and I told about my intention to be in Australia in March for WIS, even though I had no idea how it would happen.  As it so happens, David lives on the Gold Coast where WIS was being held (conincidence huh?  Thank you God for that one) and he invited me to stay at his house with he and his family while I was in town after the conference ended.  I was so grateful for that!!  David and I and his friends spent a ton of time together at this conference.  Also, during the conference, I put in a request for a roommate as I did not want to pay $400 a night myself.  I ended up (again by coincidence, Thank you God again) with a woman named Susan from Sydney. She is an amazing person that became a really good friend to me.   The rest of the day was spent at the conference before heading off to bed for 11 hours of sleep.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>3/9/08 &#8211; Today is the day that I leave LA. I&#8217;m flying to The Gold Coast to attend the World Internet Summit from 3/12 &#8211; 3/15. I get to fly Virgin Australia, the newly launched arm of Virgin airlines flying to OZ from LA.  They have all new planes and really cool features &#8211; lots of legroom in coach, individual entertainment centers with each seat that has tons of movies, tv shows, games etc&#8230; One feature I found interesting was the ability to instant message another passenger. I think the premise is that if you met someone that was cute, you could IM them and flirt. Of course, there were no hotties on my flight for me to try this out with.</p>
<p>I have of course overpacked.  I made the decision to only bring one bag and one carryon and of course my computer.  I met that goal, but my one bag weighs about 70lbs!!!!  And this was after unpacking 6 times and leaving items out.  How do you pack for an indefinte trip when you are a girl and you need your beauty stuff (15lbs worth), clothes for meeting sexy guys, clothes for everyday, workout clothes, shoes for all occasions and random stuff???</p>
<p>The flight over was uneventful. I am blessed with the ability to be able to sleep like a baby on airplanes.  We took off around 11:00pm and were scheduled to arrive in Sydney 15 hours later.  I then had to catch another flight that went to Brisbane.  Upon arrival in Brisbane, I had to then catch the train for an hour and a half trip down the coast to The Gold Coast where the conference.  All together, 24 hours of straight travel!!  Glad I brought plenty of books.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t sure how I would feel once I took off.  For this entire whirlwind month of getting ready for this moment, I have been incredibly calm. Odd considering I have given up my life for the unknown.  I feel incredibly, overwhelmingly blessed in this moment and I spend a lot of time during the first hour or so reflecting on the events of the past several weeks and praying and giving thanks. I feel so at peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone.  Welcome to my travel/life blog.  I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you enjoy enough of what you see and read to keep coming back and also tell your friends about it. I guess I should start with some background of what led me to this point. This will be a long post as I tend to be detailed. The rest of my posts will not be this long, so bear with me.</p>
<p>[I am typing this entry on 4/20/09 as my blog was just created. I'm bring you up to speed with subsequent posts, starting with this one]</p>
<p>The week of February 9th, 2009 when I began to inform my friends and family that I had made the decison to give up my beautiful apartment in Beverly Hills that I had lived in for 9 years, sell almost all my posessions (yes ya&#8217;ll even the Gucci&#8217;s &amp; Louis Vuittons &#8211; but not my Gucci luggage &#8211; I ain&#8217;t that crazy, LOL) and go to Australia to begin my latest travel adventures, everyone thought I was crazy.  Sure, they were used to me being a Travel Diva because since 2005, I had already been blessed to be able to be on holiday and travel extensively for 6 months out of the year for the past 3 yrs.  I was always jetting off to Europe &#8211; spent 90 days there on vaca in 06 &amp; have been back 4 times since then or going to Mexico or Hawaii or galavanting around the USA for conferences and seminars, but this was different.  I was actually going to sell my stuff, voluntarily become homeless and go way the hell away to Australia?!?!?! WTF&#8230;had I lost my mind??  They really would have thought I was crazy if they knew the entire truth&#8230;my entire reason for doing this.  The truth of the matter is that my life is a Journey that is led by God. Don&#8217;t tune out now. This is not going to become some religious rant.  I am actually HIGHLY Spiritual and not religious. There is a huge difference. I won&#8217;t bore you with a ton of detail, but HE wants me to be here in Australia for reasons that have yet to be revealed to me and I have made the decision to FULLY step out on faith and go wherever HE leads me.  HE very clearly communicated this to me on February 2, 2009 when HE instructed me to 1. give up my apartment 2. sell all of my suff and 3. move to Australia. I chose to obey and I can honestly say that it has been the best decision of my life!  Everything that I have needed for this trip has been provided &#8211; I went from having very little money (as I had spent most of it in 2008 with the 13 vacations/trips I took), no real &#8220;plan&#8221; as to what I was going to do in Australia or why I was even supposed to be here. I didn&#8217;t know a single person in Australia except for a couple of random people I have met in my travels, no idea where I would be living, no idea how I would be received as a Black Woman, no idea how I was going to afford to buy my ticket, no idea how I was going to sustain myself financially, etc&#8230;  The only thing I did know for a fact was that I absolutely would NOT be getting any type of j-o-b during my travels. I gave up working a j-o-b forever on May 21st, 2008.  It&#8217;s called being &#8220;on holiday&#8221; for a reason.  So armed with all of this, I have sat back and let Him work out the how and everything has miraculously worked out beyond my wildest dreams. My only job is to say &#8220;YES&#8221; &amp; TAKE ACTION on the directions I am given daily!!  I&#8217;m currently living here in Sydney, stress free &amp; CHILLING!!! I have a bit of money in the bank so that I can fully focus on making  lots and lots more which will come in the coming months. I have tons of new friends and new family and it has all just begun. You gotta have FAITH &amp; CHOOSE IN. It&#8217;s really as simple as that.  Stay tuned and join me on this journey.  Can&#8217;t wait to see how it unfolds.</p>
<p>p.s I truly want to thank all of my friends/family in CA &amp; MO &amp; TX that were my Angels as I prepared to leave: Barbara, Anne, Esther, Giles, Roz, everyone who purchased any of my possessions, My Big Daddy, Sylvia, Tracy, Christa, Linessa and everyone who prayed with me and for me and gave me such an amazing level of support, encouragement and well wishes.  I also want to thank my new friends on Facebook &#8211; people that haven&#8217;t met me yet but are supporting me every step of this journey.  I could not do this if I didn&#8217;t know that so many people love and care about me and are holding me safe in their prayers.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!</p>
