One of the things most important things I want to teach my daughter is how to make her life happen, as opposed to allowing life happen to her.

I want to give her power. Power to do or be anything she chooses. I don't want her to be limited by the past. I don't want her limited by history. I don't want her limited economically or politically or socially.

I want her to know how to dream. Then to know how to achieve her dreams. Since it's my job to teach her these skills, and dreaming is a learned skill, I've been exploring these issues myself.

Can I make my dreams come true?

During this quest I saw The Secret and I've been experimenting with The Law Of Attraction with success (remember my new house that seemed custom-made for me?).

And see you, you are reading this blog are you not? I've been praying that you would come read this blog.

A month ago I attracted a Law of Attraction Mentor, Jeff Howard, who sent me his Law of Attraction Action Pack. It's a seven day program with tools to help you focus on what you want to attract and shows you how to attract it.

While going through the process I have included my daughter. Great tools for me equal great tools for her. We've made dream boards and listened to the meditation exercises together.

I think it must be working for her, because you would not believe her new room. As a child, I never could have dreamed up such a room. Her new room has two closets, one of them is so big it has a reading nook and a whole rack for her dress up clothes. She even has her own bathroom! A six-year-old has her own bathroom.

As we progress in our spiritual journey or our goal-achieving quests, it's important that we include our children in the process. Whatever the process is for us.

Two great blog carnivals have been updated and you could spend all day long browsing the great blogs, columns and articles included in them.

The Carnival of Family Life was hosted by Be A Good Dad, which is great advice in itself.

I read Oh Yea? So What Is YOUR Child Wearing? posted at scribbit yesterday and woke up still laughing this morning.

Sherry's daughter shares Ainsley's taste in clothes in this piece, She has her own sense of style posted at Chaos Theory.

Erica Douglas recommends we should Stop Trying To Be a Perfect Parent posted at Littlemummy.Com. I agree, "good enough" is better than perfection, and might actually be achieved.

Tracee Sioux, that's me, presents The Voice in My Head posted at So Sioux Me.

supermom_in_ny presents Target, Bratz and the Number 11 posted at Snow White, 7 Dwarves and PDD. It's a great little piece about understanding, or getting a glimpse of, what goes on inside her PDD (autistic spectrum disorder) son's mind.

Lori Radun, CEC presents Finding Peace in Letting Go posted at The Mom Coach. It reminds me of how annoyed I was when Ainsley got stuck on defense the whole soccer season. Who knew I would care so much?

The other carnival worth getting into is Law of Attraction hosted by my friend Karen over at Live the Power.

I may not have shared this at Blog Fabulous but after The Secret aired on Oprah I totally got into this idea that we attract what we want in our lives through our thoughts. I wrote a column about how it effected me on So Sioux Me, which is featured in this carnival.

If you keep having a life you don't really want, but maybe you don't know what to do about it - this carnival is a good place to start.

This is a great quote from John Crenshaw's article The One Idea That Took 23 Years To Understand And Changed My Life ForeverDominate Your Life.

"You see, self-doubt is a hereditary disease, it’s an airborne contagion that sucks the life out of otherwise intelligent people and relegates them to a life of mediocrity. It’s passed on by the people who fill your life and, especially, by your parents."

I like these questions, "IF having money is important to me and if I don't have the amount I want, what is this telling me about myself, my relationship with my higher self and my connection to The All? Where am I not feeling worthy? Why would I create lack....what are those beliefs? Why would I hold myself back from the life I want and envision? What am I afraid of?" featured on My Spiritual Secret Dance in an article called Money and Flow. She says she uses money as a barometer of her success.

The Daily Positive submission is about letting go of ego. He realizes that he can change his emotions because he created them and it reminds me of my own realization about self-righteous anger and putting that in check.

Okay, so read up on the carnivals. You will definitely learn something!
