the secretary for Peter. He is out of town

October 24, 06
First morning at the computer after
a SPECTACULAR
MEGA HEALING experience
at Mark Victor Hansen's MEGA Speaking Empire,
held at the Hyatt Regency October 20, 21, 22
in Orange County.
I feel more affirmed in UNFOLDING
the POTENTIAL and CHOICE
that this can be the BEGINNING
this year of Job's Return
return for me and the World.
Job is a minor prophet.
He is tested by God.
he loses everything,
family, friends, health.
Then, comes a time of Return.
All, and More than he had,
is given back.
The story of Job is my personal Archetype
for my Life Pattern.
I am Ready for Job's Fulfillment
in my Life. I am ready to get on with
the Party.
I mean, how much more suffering
does our tired World and all the people
in it need before we get the message
that we can live in Peace on Earth?
This peace begins with learning
to Pronouce the Word Peace in our own lives,
Sort of Like, I now Pronouce myself
married to Mother Earth and all her lovely Props
that are Whole, Pure, and Natural.
Each time we increase Understanding--
and Self Acceptance--we take one Organic
Step toward bringing the Enchanted Garden
back home.
This is what "Job's Prayer," the poem
you can find right here on the Plant Your Dream Blog
is all about.
"Job's Prayer" is the Centerpiece
of Your Enchanted Gardener's 2006-2007 campaign.
The poem, "Job's Prayer" first appeared
in 1984 in my book "Rekindling of Faith.
I am now Reissuing "Rekindling of Faith."
today is October 24, 2006.
I am having a morning of Deep Inspired
Revelation and Gameplan after confronting
fears on Sunday and going into the fires of
my issues around Publishing.
They come up for me through the
Relationships that Mark Victor Hansen
has opened for me, including how I interact
with his Staff.
I seldom come into his events normally.
i,.e, Here is my registration fee, I am here
to learn the materials, do some networking,
and in a gentlemanly manner go on about my business
of being a MEGA success.
The one time I paid the Reg fee,
I did not have the money upfront in my wallet,
and so I went in determined to use my photography
on site to pay for the event.
I succeeded by charging other attendees
$20.00 each for a photo with Mark, and more
for a series of photos.
The Registration fee was more near $600.00 at the time
if I recall.
Mark is surrounded by a marvelous staff of gatekeepers
that are here to help the MEGA events run smoothly.
Then Leslie, Your Enchanted Gardener shows up, with
some kind of Prop, or Behavior, that just doesn't seem to fit.
Back in 2002, I had just come from the Natural Products
Expo West.
I had a box of the most incredible organic MEGA tomatoes with me.
Mark was totally generous. Others had paid an exorbitant
amount to be vendors. He gave me a little table to display
my tomatoes and other natural goodies. I set up my books
as well.
That tomato became the brand for my photography--
Super Ripe Photos!
Mark made a big deal of the MEGA tomatoes at that
really incredible MEGA coming out party. He announced
them from the stage, that I had brought MEGA tomatoes.
He had asked me to take some photos. I went on stage
in back to get a shot. He called me on stage during the
Closing Ceremony. I read #7 of The Seven Love Cures.
Michael Beckwith, was the minister in that same Closing
Ceremony. I was inspired to meet Michael because
of Mark's enthusiasm for this acclaimed minister of the
World Famous Agape Center.
That was the MEGA Book Marketing University
where "Chicken Soup for the Gardener's
Soul" was still up at the top of the new releases. The author of that
book was there. I took a photo with Mark, that Chicken Soup
co-author, and Trudy, his Executive Secretary at the time.
Mark is a fantastic salesman. He absolutely is turned on by
selling things . He is also MEGA Soul, and his Soul group, including
Your Enchanted Gardener, includes other Souls who deeply
have it in their Power and Potential to make this whole
world an Enchanted Garden.
Mark has been round the block
and planet in his spiritual studies.
He loves people. He brought in much of what he knows.
The teachings that roll through his delightful wit,
and skills as an entrepeneur are God Given.
He is here to making build an Amazing WOW
between Consciousness Principles and Awakening
each of us to being O.K. to be Wealthy.
Gratefully, the main thing Mark likes to sell,
is sell people on themselves. He loves to see
people succeed.
Mark Victor Hansen also loves being a Point man
and my job is to support him as best I can
to remember than playing "Earth Ball"
is Mother Eartr's Plan for this Moment.
We really aren't going anywhere toward
Peace until we get the Enchanted Garden
Message functional in our Daily Lives.
Truly we can Return our world to being
an Enchanted Garden one Seed and Seed Dream
at a time. That is what Plant Your Dream is all about!
Mark is a Proposal Maker. He is a Partnership
Addict in the most delicious way. His every moment
between talks at MEGA events are filled with people coming
up to pitch something, or get a written endorsement.
People are drawn to the fact that this man, who himself
was once backrupt, who has known both ups and downs,
is MEGA successful. He appeals to the part of most people
that wants Rich Results.
MEGA events run smooth as Smoothies!
Then, I show up with tomatoes,
and Special requests.
IT is enough to drive his staff crazy.
Mark loves to say YES, and we have had a most
delicious YES relationship for more than 20 years.
His Staff of Gatekeepers, for the most part, are
here to Say "NO!" if necessary, and make sure there are Rules
and Procedures.
My relationship with Mark goes back
to the early 80's I imagine, when I stood in line
to have him sign one of his early books.
I believe it may have been called "Dare to Dream."
That was the first time, he idea of being a millonaire
was planted in my head by him.
The only difference is--
in the Essene work--and that is part of the Soul
Group that includes Mark Victor Hansen--
we are All Already Millionaires.
Our Earth, if allowed to grow naturally, can feed
everyone. This Earth is intended to be an Enchanted Garden.
The Essenes Already lived in Heaven on Earth.
They were, in some Myths, known as the Scribes
for God. Someone had to do the Job!
One of Mark's latest Thrill a minute projects
is teaching people how to Break the Millionaire Code.
When his first book in that theme came out,
"The One Minute Millionaire," my first thought was
why take so long?
I can shift a Whole Person Reality base in 15 seconds
with a spring of Chocolate Scented Peppermint.
The sense of smell is our earliest and most powerful
change agent. Rub Chocolate Scented Peppermint
between your hands, and breathe it in with eyes closed.
IT will completely alter your Conscousness.
At the ABA in 1994, the event now know as the Book Expo America,
on one night of weariness, I showed up at this event
where Mark and Jack and the folks from HCI, the Publisher
of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, were touting Book #1,
the first in the series that now includes more than 50 books I imagine.
They hadn't yet sold one million of those books. Last count
I believe they are well over 100 million. Mark's goal in 1993
was to sell 1 billion by 2020.
I already knew Mark back in 1994.
I knew he had tons of books already written,
and yet, they were just touting this one book. That was a deep
lesson for me. I am generally exhausting myself attempting
to promote five things at once, according to who I am addressing.
Mark calls this having Multiple Streams of Income and he is
successful at this. For me, I have so many projects going, and
I seldom have any of them bring in a harvest, until I decide to
take Thoreau's coaching and "Simplify, SImplify, Simplify!"
Part of our success is based on knowing who we are
and our Limits. One of the gifts of this life for me is that
I do not have a body--or an emotional makeup--
that functions well without a lot of introspection with
a very personal God. I choose a body that would take
me into hospital settings. I mean, how many lives
can a person be a healer, or a doctor?
Jensen always said that healer was an inside job.
I choose in this life to be a healer through being born
with weakness as well as strength.
In my esteemation, this world will be saved
by people who have gotten humbled to the point
where they are so tired of suffering that they
look up, and choose a different way.
Mark and others like Wayne Dyer appear
to have the skill to simply change their Mind
when they are feeling down.
Then there are tons more people like you and me
who will never get to Heaven on Earth until
we find the cour age to get to the bottom
of our pain, and because of our pain take ACTION!
I mean, how many times can I write the same poem???
For me, I have reached the point where I want
to write a new poem...I want Job's Return.
I am willing to live in Paradise, here and now!
How about you????
That night, back in 1994,
Mark and Jack were electric. I came into the room very tired
and depressed. My weariness turned
to resolve. I left the room and went back out to my car to go get
my camera.
I came back in. I started to take photos. I didn't even ask,
most likely.
At one point. Mark comes over to me and says, "Say, I am going
to need those photos! What are they going to cost me?"
"I said $200.00." My intent at that ABA was to earn $1200.00.
(There's more to that story I will tell in anyother Blog...)
The night before Al Jacobson of the Garden of Eaten Chips,
another old friend, had committed $1000.00 as an Enchanted
Garden Sponsor. This $200.00 from Mark brought me up to
$1200.00. I was amazed to see the Universe fulfilling my
own Seed Dream, and so I was high as a Kite.
When I get high as a Yike, that is dangerous.
Many times, I can go as low as to hear ayelping dog,
screaming in my old head.
When I go high, my Soul finds an Opening into my daily affairs.
That was the night I met Peter Vegso and Gary Seidler, who
were then co-partners in Health Communications, Inc.
I saw the writing on the wall. I sensed HCI would be my publisher.
I already them of them through contact with John Bradshaw,
the great Recovery Genius. I already knew John and he had
received my poetry plaques.
The next day after ABA, I took That first Chicken Soup book
to a stream at the Taylor's Herb Garden. I set up a table in the
stream. I did some Ritual work, some deep Seed Dream planting.
Here are a couple notes that followed:
May 2 1999
To Mark,
The day, "Chicken Soup for the Soul"
became a Bestseller was the day following
the American Bookseller Association gathering in
1994 when it first came out. I took the book to a stream.
I held the Dream--The Seed Dream. I planted the same
of Millions. The rest is history. I did this for love.

From the Office of
Mark Victor Hansen
May 25, 1999
My Enchanted friend,
Heartfelt thanks for another
"Enchanted Plant." I love and bless it and you!
It graces my desk beautifully. Thank you!
I deeply appreciate your "seeding our dream"
to sell millions. I wish the same for you.
In friendship,
Mark Victor Hansen
Numbers of years have passed since then.
I have my ups and downs that come and go.
Peter has been waiting years for my work.
My holdback goes back to emotional restraints
and Self Esteem issues.
Sunday--this very Sunday--I completed
on a phone message to Peter Vegso.
I sent him off four of the poems from
"Rekindling of Faith."
One of my goals during the next week,
is to ready a copy of this book for the Pacific Symposium,
and then get this revised MS to Peter.
I am taking the next steps.
I went up Sunday to Mark's Mega event to celebrate
that I had taken the next steps.
Much more can be written.

At the MEGA Speaking Empire, October 20,21, 22, 06,
that ended this previous weekend,
I had a sweet visit with Dan, who was handling
security at the MEGA Marketing Magic in March 06.
I showed up at Mark's MEGA Marketing Magic
with Strawberries in hand. Dan, did not know
what to make of me.
He came from a Military background.
He had never seen the likes of someone
who would offer a Ripe fresh picked Organic Strawberry
to a Vendor.
What was I, some kind of Terrorist offering
tainted food? What was I up too? Who was
this strange man?
To say the least, the scene that followed
was right out of a Hollywood Drama.
Mark himself had to come out and rescue me
and let the Security forces know that Your Enchanted
Gardener was O.K.
By the end of that MEGA event Dan and I
were seeing near eye to eye. I even asked
Mark to sign a note addressed to Dan that
should his Enchanted Gardener attempt to
bring him Organic Food, please do not throw
him out.
This time, six months, later, Dan greated me with a smile,
and something like, "Long time no see!"
IT was friendly and cordial. It felt good
to make peace with Dan.
I was a bit reserved this past Sunday at the
MEGA Spearkers Empire event.
I didn't to overstep boundaries. I I didn't want
to hit anyone the wrong way. I was not official
registered. I basically wanted to connect with
Mark and make sure the air was clear in my own
head for Spring 07.
The Summer was already too much with
all the destressing I am doing from three months
of record keeping.
I am just getting back into
Full Enchanted Gardener Mode.
At the end of this MEGA event,
I had my moments with Mark.
He was loving and appreciative as usual.
I was glad to see things were O.K. and more
than O.K. between us., as usual.
I wasn't exactly sure after my MEGA experience
with the Strawberries Upheaval, and more!
Our MEGA food Experience started with Tomatoes
back in 2002.
This time, I had a little basket of Joe the Farmer's
delightful yellow tomatoes, sprinkled with mini reds.
I did not want to step into the Ballroom wihout permission,
and I hadn't had a chance to ask Mark for that permission.
I waited until after the Closing was over before venturing
into the Ballroom, knowing that Mark will stay to smooze
and do endorsements.
Mark was his profoundly loving self when he saw me.
I had a picture of him, me, and Jack I wanted him to sign.
There were numbers of people wanting photos taken with him,
and as usual, he would introduce me with accolates
as the very best of photographers.
I warmed up in the love, and felt the coast was clear
to offer up a basket of the mini-MEGA tomatoes.
Mark popped a couple in his mouth, and appreciated
them immensely.
From my point of view, anytime I can bring something
organic into a mainstream hotel, this is a step toward
a marriage between the Enchanted Garden and the Minstream.
Mark knows how I always bring him this kind of goody.
He has a major organic garden at home, and tauts
the finest produce from Mother Earth any chance he can.
Then, he started to offer up the tomatoes to all around.
That was So very sweet for me to watch.
He introduced me as well to everyone as the
Enchanted Gardener.
Big things start naturally with Small Beginnings,
I find. So it was perfect this Time Around to be bringing
Mark Mini- MEGA's, fresh picked.
By the end of our time together, Mark was
excited with the Seed Dream that future MEGA events
would offer organic food to All the Attendees.
I told him that was possible.
I had already done that at the HIlton.
He asked me to how much it would cost,
a good place to start.
