I'll be on the Healthy Wealthy Wow radio program on the Grapevine Talk Radio Network on Thursday at 1:29 CST.

I won a radio contest (which I wasn't even listening to)for the Law of Attraction Action Pack and now I get to go on the radio program and chat about how it's effected me.

It's an Internet radio program so be sure to tune in. I'll try to post the podcast up here once it's recorded so you'll be sure not to miss it.

Wish me luck!

For the life of me I can not tell you why it never, not once, occurred to me to buy Ainsley a train set.

I've been shopping for Zack's 2nd birthday and realized there is a host of toy options for boys that I never considered for my daughter.

Of course, she would've enjoyed a train village. Why wouldn't she? I'm sure she'll get plenty of use out of Zack's.

I gave away a copy of A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61), by Eckhart Tolle over on Blog Fabulous and it was so much fun I want to do it again!

This is the book Oprah is teaching an online course on beginning March 3 on Oprah.com. Who wants to miss that?

Please leave a comment and you'll be entered to win one copy of A New Earth. Regretfully, I can only accept U.S. entries, unless the person entering is willing to pay their own postage for the book.

Contest will remain open until Sunday, Feb. 24 at midnight Central time. Winner will be announced Monday, Feb. 25. You must register with your email address or I will have no way to contact you if you win. Ainsley will draw the name out of a hat.

Good Luck.

If you're feeling particularly lucky hop over to Prize-A-Tron to enter more contests.

Ainsley and I got to shake Bill Clinton's hand! Seriously. She got to meet Bill Clinton, I think he said something like thanks for coming or good to see you or something.

I was too busy recording the moment to really live it.

I don't really know if she understands the significance of the event. I hope though that it will allow her to feel like she has tangible access to politics.

I hope that she'll grow up feeling like she can create change in the world, like she can always do something to better her situation. I hope she'll feel like she has access to political power I guess. By which I mean that she doesn't feel apathetic or useless, shut out or irrelevant to the process.

We live in a democracy and that is something special and powerful. We can all have a voice and I, for one, feel this election is different than all elections before it because the Internet have really given people, women especially, a voice like they never had before. With access to a platform like the Blogosphere, it would be hard for women and other minority groups to remain disenfranchised much longer.

I remember a mock election at my school when I was in the 2nd grade. The contest was Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. The principal got up in an assembly and chanted, Jimmy Carter has a way of messing up the USA. Ronald Reagan has a way of fixing up the USA.

Take a wild guess who won.

The point is that what we say now to our daughters, regardless of whether we're democrat or republican, is important. We can either make them feel shut out of the process for which they are entitled to participate - or - hopefully, make them feel empowered with complete access to this country's democratic process.

I'm taking the kids to see their first former-President/future first-gentleman (is that the male derivative of First Lady?) today!

Yes, that would be Bill Clinton!

It is thrilling to me that I will have the opportunity to vote for the first female Presidential Candidate.

Taking the daughter out of school for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What is more empowering than democracy? Nothing.

Very exciting. I hope it will make her feel like politics is accessible to her throughout her life. I hope she'll always feel like her voice counts. I hope to instill in her a sense of power and responsibility in democracy.
