Season’s greetings, beloved readers. Imagine me with a Santa’s hat for the purposes of this post. Or in an Oprah suit, although than this might turn into a bit of a letdown for you.

Because in the light of Christmas and sharing how you feel and what not, time for me to tell you I am really appreciative of you. I mean, you come here. On my website. To read my words. Holy shit. For a girl who only ever wanted to write that will always be a big deal. That is never going to get old for me. So I want to thank you all for that and tell you that I am happy that you’re all here, before I get into my whole give away thing.

As most of you know, the only thing I have to give away are my own words. Cue joke here about the weird English and out there niche I have gotten myself into. However, this time, the kind people at Blurb.com decided to help me out with that. Blurbz is an on-line publisher that offered me a voucher to either publish a book or give it away to my readers. Because I’m a two glasses half full kind of girl, I decided to do both!

This Christmas, I am giving away one unique Printed Combi-Edition of Girl Meets Yoga and the Law of Attraction Lecture NotesThis is pretty special because I only printed 20 copies of Girl Meets Yoga and the Law of Attraction Lecture Notes haven’t been printed at all. Talk about a snowflake of a book!

All you have to do is tell me why you want to win it in the comments. No sharing or tweeting or Facebooking required. I’ll pick a winner on the 28th of December to get you that beautifully printed book as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, I can only pick one reader for the printed version (it really is time to start becoming more of a big deal so I can give more stuff away), but I’ll give away the Law of Attraction Lecture Pack to the two runners up too. Just ’cause.

Hope you have a lovely Saturday and sending happy vibes your way, who knows! Maybe even in print next week!

Saturday I did something I have always wanted to do. I mean, if the world is going to end in a few weeks, we might as well check off some items of our Before I Die Lists, non?

So I gave a workshop/lecture. An actual real one. About a topic that is dear to my heart and as natural to me as breathing: the Law of Attraction. Using it to help you, make you happier and attract the things you want into your life. Yes, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to do it. Yes, it was in my own dining room. Yes, I did my own catering. ;-) But how cool was that these first eight people were willing to come to my house, sit at my dining room table with me to listen to me talk about something that I love. Answer, very.

I was a little nervous beforehand, but the moment people started ringing my doorbell I just started to feel excited: Ready to get going! I had a supergood time. The eight who attended were all so different yet everyone wanted to know more about this whole positive thinking Law of Attraction business. It was cool: Everyone brought their own perspective to the table. Great people and good group dynamics.

I talked about the Law of Attraction until my voice almost gave out, we discussed important details, issues and aspects of manifesting and there was a lot of fun interaction between everyone. We drank tea, green juice (some for the very first time ever!) and I had made raw chocolate and veggie platters to go round. (A. brought chocolate from Lof Der Zoetheid, so obviously he could do no more wrong after that).

What I loved most is that there was complete consensus they wanted to do this again in 6 months. A reunion/refresher/advanced class of sorts. I guess that’s a date then!

They also gave me some excellent feedback to use in the next workshops, I am going to come to Belgium for a repeat if there is enough request and I met some really cool new people. Not too shabby for one of the last Saturday the Mayans say we’re going to have.

I started to transcribe the Lecture Notes on Sunday morning, powered by tea, juice and two cups of coffee. Before I knew it I had almost 12 000 words worth of material on the Law of Attraction. Material that I loved. Material that I wanted to share with more people than just those 8, because I feel it can really help you and get things going!

…Which is why I decided to turn it into an on-line lecture package. Available now on my website & my e-junkie shop. Wanna take a look?

The Law of Attraction Pack includes: 

  • A PDF of almost 12 000 words, 27 pages, filled from top to bottom with great, useable and fun Law of Attraction information & practice. You can put it on your tablet, read it on your computer or print it out and snuggle upon the coach with a cup of tea to enjoy it!
  • An audiofile for your iPod, phone or computer where I read you the Lecture Notes out loud! I’ve done my best to make it a pleasant and relaxed thing to listen to, it’s an hour and fifteen minutes of audio, so enough to keep you entertained for a little while!
Some Sneak Peeks: 

You can buy the Law of Attraction Lecture Pack on-line now, for 25 USD. I’ve chosen to use the American Dollars because there were quite some requests for this material from non-Dutchies and I don’t know, I feel it makes it more accesible to everyone from all over the world who reads my blog. Also, the conversion rate is awesome for most currencies. Good for you.

Now, is it weird for the author to tell you that you’ll be getting your money’s worth? It is? I don’t care. I’m telling you anyway. In fact, I’ll do you one better: I think this is the easiest, most practical and most fun thing about the Law of Attraction ever written. And I should know, because I’ve read pretty much everything I could get my hands on when it comes to the Law of Attraction. ;-)

So go for it! Buy the LoA Lecture Pack in my E-Junkie Shop or click the ‘Buy Now’ button below to buy it! Don’t worry about the freaky looking button, if you click it you can just use PayPal and you will get an e-mail with the automatic download of the Law of Attraction Lecture Pack.

Buy Now

Now, for anyone who would still love to sign up for a Law of Attraction Workshop and be one of my dining room table buddies: More than welcome to reserve a spot already! Just send an email to info@theselfhelphipster.com because I plan to do another one in January with only 8 spots (I feel like little groups are my thing for now).

Now don’t worry, it will be even more of a practicing and ‘workshopping’ kind of thing than this first one, so the material you buy now can only enhance our workshop together in the future!

Okay, it’s off to the real world again for me, for as that’s “a thing” in my life anyway. I’m working at the university and doing a lot of stuff in between too. By the way, got an iPhone (so pretty!) and am now an Instagrammer. It’s where you will see the personal ‘diary’ stuff I don’t really do on the website. If you like that type of thing, come follow me!  Have a spectacular day and as I say in the Lecture Notes…Happy Manifesting!

One thing’s for sure: I’m setting a pretty high standard for my upcoming birthdays from this point forward. ;)

I did it. First e-book at 24. I wanted it to be clean, to the point and simple; I’m very happy with how it turned out. I promise the next one will be a lot more colorful and vivid but for a first e-book I’m very content. So without further ado…Meet my baby: Girl Meets Yoga.

Now to be clear: Girl Meets Yoga is not a how-to-do-yoga book. Girl Meets Yoga is not a book catered specifically or only to people who practice yoga: It’s for everyone. If you like this website, the book is probably your thing too. Girl Meets Yoga tells you about the 24 things I’ve learnt from and during my yoga practice and how they might help you too. It’s about 10 000 words long.

Curious?! Go read it! ’Girl Meets Yoga’ is available for download here.

If you have any problems with the downloading, please let me know so I can fix it as soon as possible. You should be able to save and view the .PFD file on any e-reader, iPad and computer.

Now…for the winners of the hard copies: Carline, Suusie Elien. Expect an e-mail soon, lovelies!

Pssst..If you’re bummed you didn’t win (aw!), you can send me an e-mail (info@theselfhelphipster.com) and we can talk about you getting a hard copy anyway. I’m putting in a hard copy order for anyone who wants to have my first book in print. If you want to join the party, let me know!

As for the rest of my 24th birthday, I’m doing two yoga classes in the morning, after that I’m doing another very, very exciting thing (!!!) and then I’m going to have celebratory cupcakes with Lin.

But mostly, I’ll be enjoying my 24th birthday, due to the fact my first e-book is read. By all you wonderful people. I really really hope you like it, but I really enjoyed writing it and just knowing there are people out there who’ve taken the effort to read my work makes me really happy. Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy it.

Let’s rock & roll, 24. I’m ready.
