    Jackie Woodside: Raise Your Money Vibe

    I first crossed paths with Jackie Woodside when I discovered her book, Calming the Chaos, A Soulful Guide to Managing Your Energy Rather Than Your Time. 

    This was during a time when I was juggling kids, jobs, travel, and my dad battling cancer. I found calm through meditation, and by eliminating stuff off my daily plate. Yet, even today, the ever-overflowing plate is a sign that I need to pick up the book again.

    Instead, I’ve picked up Jackie’s brand new book, The Money Vibe.

    Her book has appeared in my life at just the right time! Joe and I sold our five-bedroom house and downsized to a townhouse near his work. Abundance is the theme this year–both with a content heart and a growing bank account–so The Money Vibe has showed up right on time.

    If you’ve struggled with money, this book is for you. If you want to attract a positive money vibe into your life no matter where you are on your journey, you’ll appreciate what Jackie shares in her book.

    I had the opportunity to sit down with Jackie and talk about her books and her life–it was a fun, casual, unscripted conversation!

  • I Won 150,000!

    There I was, sitting back and typing away at an article for Disaboom when an instant message popped up on the screen.

    Hello.

    It was a screen name that I didn’t recognize, but I’m always getting instant messages from parents of deaf and hard of hearing children or other writers.

    I typed back. Hi. Who is this please?

    Hi, this is Eric Lawrence. How are you today?

    So we exchanged chit chat. Thinking that he was possibly a parent that I couldn’t remember, I wracked my brain trying to remember who Eric Lawrence was.

    And then it came.

    We are here to congratulate you on the $150,000 you have won from the Australian Deaf Lottery!  Congrats, you are a winner!

    Oh my gosh. I couldn’t contain my excitement. One hundred and fifty grand! Whatever would I do with it? I could buy a summer home! I could buy a new boat! I could donate a large amount to Hands & Voices!

    Your screen name was was selected by our computing balotting [sic] system, he went on.

    Amused, I decided to play along a bit. I was instructed to give my name and address so that the certified check could be sent to my home. When I inquired about the website of the Australian Lottery, I was told that it was still under construction and that dear Eric would send me the link as soon as it was up.

    I told him I wasn’t convinced.

    Alright, you have a choice, he said. And the choice is that you can follow your heart but we will advice you to trust and believe in us and you will be surprised what will happen. We will get your winning check mailed out to you with immediate effect.

    No thanks, I said.

    And poof, he disappeared.

    I’ve also won $50,000, $250,000 and one million since then.

    None of the checks have come in the mail.

    Maybe it’s because I forgot to give them my address?
