‘Billion Blessings Experiment’
  You'll discover how Blessings raise your energy, your happiness & how Blessings can magically transform Your life!

To Listen to this show now CLICK HERE!


 Show details:     Our Special guest today is Kate Nowak from Texas in the USA.   For the past twenty years Kate has studied, experimented with and put into practice the basic laws of the universe. Today millions of lives have been touched by Kate’s work.  Her movie ‘May You Be Blessed’ has been seen by over two and a half million people of every culture, faith and every imaginable walk of life. It is Kate's vision that by October 18, 2008 a billion or more people will have been blessed and will, in turn, be reaching out to touch others. She also envisions that day as the first annual International Day of Blessing, with individuals, groups, organizations and even governing bodies all coming together with the common goal of blessing the world.  Her Billion Blessings Experiment is a work of joy and sent forth with passion and a deep and abiding belief that together we can, indeed, bring about world change.

Kate encourages all to view the May You Be Blessed movie frequently as a reminder of all the good in your own life.  By being reminded that you are blessed and that you are a blessing to others, you succeed in raising your own energy vibration. You feel lighter, freer and happier. The better you feel, the better those around you feel. In essence, by raising your own vibration, you raise the vibration of others, blessing those around you by your presence and improving world conditions far more than you realize!
