Welcome to the May 7, 2007 edition of the Carnival of Powerful Living!

Once again, thank you to everyone who submitted posts for this week’s carnival. Your participation is what makes this a valuable resource for people all over the world, week after week. Thank you for doing something that makes the world a better place.

In my introduction to the last edition, I challenged the Powerful Living community to take on engaging people who don’t know about this carnival yet. The first results are in! According to Google Analytics, our carnival received 86 unique views over the last 10 days. Great work everyone! Remember, our goal is to double the size of the Powerful Living community, which would be 172 unique views. Let’s get those links a flyin’ and introduce some new eyes to the vast and extraordinary resource we’ve created here together.

On to the Carnival…

I read from the beginning that this will happen as we get in alignment with our source. I find that my emotions go from high to low with relative ease and it is a bit chaotic after a while. I have been on a bit of a low for a few days as something in the back of my mind has been slowly building up negative resistance inside me. I could not quite pinpoint what it was but this morning I vowed not to get out of bed until I identified what it was that was giving me this nagging negative resistance.”
