My name is Laura Silva Quesada, and I'm the President of Silva International. After my father Jose Silva passed in 1999, I've dedicated my life to spreading his teachings across the world. If you want to learn more about the Silva Method and what it can do to change your life for the better, feel free to browse through my blog. You'll find plenty of valuable information on the fields we specialize in, from meditation to intuition to healing. Enjoy, and may the rest of your life be the best of your life :).
And so we are back, ladies and gentlemen, just in time for Thanksgiving (like I said we will!) 
Okay, for those of you who just got here and have no clue what's happening, this is a continuation of an exercise I started last week.
See I was talking about how we all have a list of things that we keep telling ourselves we'll do, things that we know would improve us, make us better persons... yet we keep putting them off!
So I asked everyone to list down their 3 things in their "Life's Big List" and then I gave everyone one week to get the ball rolling to accomplish these things! Those who actually do something about it will get a Silva reward!
Of course to be fair, I need to participate too... So here are my 3 things which I posted up last week:
- Start writing my novel
- Take guitar lessons
- Read at least one book a week
Well, what do you know, I managed to get it started!
In the past week alone, I have:
- Organized, collated and re-edited my drafts, and even started talking to a few editors to see if I could find one to help me out!
- I have signed up for guitar lessons
- I finished reading The Culture Code by Clotaire Rapaille and next I will be reading Paradise Lost by John Milton
I am feeling SO accomplished right now and so excited!
And now I want to see what you have done and share it with me. Leave your accomplishments in the comment box below and tell me exactly what you did to start getting closer to your goals.
OH! Please don't forget to leave your email addresses too... This is very important because I will be emailing you the details of the prize that you'll be getting from Silva for participating in this exercise!
Cheers,
Jill
PS: Well, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start typing, I just can't wait to see what you have gotten so far

To remember and put into practice the advice of a stranger I met today: He said to take one step at a time and to look at each step with new eyes and wonder, just as a child who is just learning to walk marvels at their ability to move forward and takes joy in each step, WE too should take a look at what is in front of us and around us at every step and be thankful. I AM thankful that this wonderous stranger came into my shop today and shared those words of wisdom.

Well, I found a friend who needed extra cash for the holidays and she's helping me finally organize my office and art studios so I can be more productive.
I have measured my kitchen to prepare for the organizing and decluttering there.
I have asked a friend to use her interior design skills to help find a solution to the layout of my crazy living room/dining room layout.
And I've got four marketing plans written for the various business ventures I'm launching or have launched.
So I've made great strides toward getting a beautiful home, being a business owner and an artist!
My first goal was to write a novel. I have done two things to move forward on this goal. First, using my remote influencing program I have sought and found new ideas for developing my plot and second, I have moved forward in developing the outline I will use for the novel.
My second goal was to connect with my spiritual self. To accompolish this I have returned to my Kabala studies as well as my remote viewing and remote influencing programs along with reviewing my two Silva programs and I have increased my medtation time.
My third goal was to Get my new business going. Through careful negotiation and a lot of research I should be very close to achieving that goal

Laura:
I have completed 90% of two chapters of my dissertation (80 pages!)For the past four weeks I meditated twice a day, in the morning and the evening. I used the "Long Meditation" tape of Jose Silva, and Ed Bern's morning and evening meditation that I got in Laredo in 1992! I visualized an outline, and main topics. It worked!
I also used the three-finger technique to read and recall lots of information from various books.
I am still looking for a job, and I am visualizing myself already in a job---so far, I have had two interviews since I began focusing on this goal. No offers, but I am trying to analyze my performance during interviews through anlayzing my dreams.
So far, so good!
