Cosmic Shift Happens™

A picture says a thousand words.

Have you ever felt like someone is messing with your head?

As the Cosmic Shift Happens™ you will soon learn that if you think someone is playing with your head, they very well might be.  The fear of the “head games” keeps many people from actively participating in online venues.

Joeann Fossland, a national speaker along with being a Master Certified Coach and I have joined forces to create an e-book to help people be able to navigate the Cosmic Shift™ and feel good about engaging online.

We would like to invite you to JOIN THE CROWD in a world wide collaboration of online citizens to create a “crowdsourced” e-book. Our vision is to make it easy for people to participate and evolve to the Internet Generation.

We will be utilizing the principle of “crowdsourcing” to obtain information from individuals wanting to collaborate and help create an e-book with us .  Those selected to participate with be credited as a co-author in the project. We have a site where the invited, qualified participants will actively comment on concepts presented to be discussed by the “crowd” hence the term “crowdsourcing.” The participants can start new discussions if the ideas lead in new directions. The “crowd” will be sharing their beliefs, concerns and suggestions to help others just entering the cyber world.

Join the crowd and help us build the bridges for communication as the Cosmic Shift Happens™!

The process is easy and will flow as follows:

1. Go to Cosmic Shift Happens™ and register for the Introduction and 1st chapter.

2. If you like the questions posed in the Introduction and 1st chapter and choose to participate in discussion, just click on the “crowdsource   participation” box to fill out a short application. We need to view your online presence so will ask for links to social media sites.

3. The application will be reviewed and your sites verified because as a co-author, readers will be going to see what your profile looks like online.

Your information will not be shared or distributed in any way without your permission

4. A participation agreement will be sent via e-mail to accepted applicants which must be signed and returned.

5. Once the participation agreement is returned you will be given a private location to engage in the discussions.

6. We will be allowing 2 weeks for discussion on two chapters and so far there are 8 chapters in the e-book.

7. Once the “crowd” input has been completed we will compile the information and do final edits.

8. All selected participants will be given co-author credit with links to their profiles and the opportunity to promote themselves as being a co-author of the e-book, Cosmic Shift Happens™.

9. The e-book will be for sale. The participant will not receive payment for participation however, will be able to sell the book as an affiliate and receive 30% of the sale price. The participant will NOT be able to use the book as a bonus or give away of any kind.

If this sounds too complicated and you don’t want to be a co-author right now….

You can still join the crowd!

Connect on our facebook page at facebook.com/CosmicShiftHappens where discussions will be going on simultaneously with anyone who is interested in posting a comment and sharing ideas that could be used in the e-book even if you are not a co-author participant. Your opinions and input are valuable to us and we would sincerely appreciate all contributions for the project by sharing on the fb page.

Start now and get the Introduction and Chapter one quesitons to be discussed at Cosmic Shift Happens™.

As a respected Cyber Citizen we’d like you to participate in our “crowdsourcing” event.  Regardless of your experience and knowledge level, we know your perceptions can help us make this e-book more valuable for those just getting started. We will be happy to credit you for specific content ideas in the book even if you are not selected as a co-author.

We will be promoting the project on radio talk shows, social media and mainstream media. As a co-author participant you can also use the work you are doing for PR releases in advance of the completion of the e-book.

The mission of the project is to reach out through writing, speaking and connecting to help people adapt to the Cosmic Shift as it Happens.

Let’s create a crowd on Twitter! Please follow and tweet about us!

Diets Don’t Work!

Raw Chef Andi from the Folsom, California area shared her beliefs about diets on my BlogTalkRadio show!

Chef Andi Griffith has written “The Fruits and Green Diet” All the foods she promotes and recipes are for RAW foods.

There is a 10 step program in her book to to evolve into “raw” eating.

Listen to internet radio with Cosmic Cow Pie on Blog Talk Radio

First step.. give something up then take something away.

1.  Add fresh fruit as your breakfast!  Do this daily!

Take away.. ANY fast food.. not even salads.. they wash lettuce with bleach and add chemicals.

The Fruits and Greens Diet
Raw Chef Andi says “this is no ordinary diet.”

  • It’s a 10 step program to help you get from where you are to dietary health.”
  • Are you looking to improve your eating habits? Want to lose the extra weight?
  • Ready to take control of your food instead of food controlling you?

Then you’re ready for the Fruits and Greens Diet. Raw Chef Andi has written a program designed to help those who have been struggling with their weight and are concerned about their health.

This is a way of eating anyone can follow! By focusing more on fresh fruits and vegetables and avoiding the health destroying processed foods you are able to help your body get to and maintain your optimal weight. This is the way Nature intended you to eat. It wasn’t invented in a laboratory. It’s not filled with chemicals and preservatives. It’s not weird or unrecognizable. It’s real food.

Connecting The Dots In Step Families

Connecting The Dots In Step Families

Are You  A Step Monster?

Yes, I am!  Or I should say: I have been a Step-Mother for 35 years in August.

Many times the Step-Mother in a family is considered to be a MONSTER just like the character in Cinderella. I don’t think I was a monster and only the kids can tell now! We had a lot of fun but that was because I came from a divorced family and knew what I didn’t want to experience again.

Family relationships are a factor in all major decisions. The differences can become daunting if there are issues going on within the family unit.

Eleanor Spackman Alden from Denver, Colorado has written a life changing book for step family members to help adjust to new family dynamics in her  book, “StepWisdom.”

Meet Eleanor Spackman Alden, LIVE in Williams, Arizona on Tuesday, August 3rd at noon PDT. Come be part of the audience or join us on www.CarraRileyLive.com and ask step family questions.

Eleanor Spackman Alden, LCSW, BCD is a psychotherapist in private practice and has worked with StepFamilies for over 40 years. She taught graduate school at Naropa University for over a decade, and prior to that taught physicians in a Family Medicine Residency program. She became increasingly concerned at the negative perspective of so many people that stepfamilies were second best or worse, and a sign of a declining culture. This viewpoint did not fit her knowledge of cultures in history, nor her experience as a therapist, teacher, or friend to so many who came from stepfamilies. StepWisdom grew out of the frustration with the present day “myth” about stepfamilies, and from growing up as a stepchild herself.

Contact Eleanor:

My Amazon and Barnes and Noble review on the book:

Perfect “Steps” To Creative Relationships After Divorce

“I am a ‘step’ individual in every category, step daughter, step mother, step grandmother, step sister, step aunt etal. I was excited to read “StepWisdom” to see what I could learn to improve those relationships.

My expectations were exceeded and I can’t wait to share this book with others. Eleanor Spackman Alden has provided an easy to understand handbook for all types of relationships. She takes case studies of dysfunctional marriages and destructive divorces to illustrate certain rapport issues. Eleanor uses examples from the Bible, Greek mythology and Dr. Jung, a Swiss Psychiatrist to graphically depict specific behavior tenancies. She uses humor to lighten the load of uncomfortable situations and demonstrates how to correct the situation.

This book is a must read for any person wanting to nurture and progress to create loving and supportive family relationships in all circumstances. Reading this book can help avoid unpleasant interaction mistakes”

Please join us LIVE in Williams, Arizona on Tuesday, August 3rd at noon PDT on www.CarraRileyLive.com
