This focus of this carnival is The Law of Attraction with a difference. I asked people to think outside the square and as a result this has attracted some great stories, videos and poems and quite a few new bloggers. Welcome to all of our new bloggers.

Arvind Devalia wonderful post Abundance, Abundance, Abundance at Arvind Devalia, introduces this carnival : saying, “Do you live in a world of abundance? Or do you come from a place of scarcity and lack? Abundance is a lot more than just money or material things. You live in a very rich and beautiful world – you just have to open your eyes. Just think about the beauty of the sky, the greenery all around you, the grace of animals, the love in you, and the sheer miracle of this life.” Arvind also reminds us to be grateful and includes a photo of food in abundance

We have two posts that look at facing our fears.

Tupelo Kenyon presents Facing Fear Eye to Eye posted at Tupelo Kenyon, saying, “Eye to eye with a bear while fishing alone is a good lesson in fear, awareness, panic and the law of attraction. It’s one thing to wax philosophically about such things, but to be up close and personal with a large, healthy bear in his domain puts personal development ideas to the test in the real world. (Enjoy soothing instrumental music as you read plus songs with lyrics related to each article ? all free.)”

A new poster GP writes about Susan Jeffers book: Feel The Fear and Doing it Anyway posted at Innside Innkeeping – Montana Country Style, saying, “Aim for success not perfection? Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human makes for a stronger person and relationships” The photos here are also a must visit.

Dreams feature in many of the posts this week and another new poster Beverly Keaton Smith presents The Year of the Sand Dollar at Embrace Your Gifts and Soar!, saying, “Eventually, every dream will come true if you believe. A simple dream that took 35 years to manifest brings joy and shows that every dream is worth waiting for.”
