<p>“Success leaves clues!”<br />
-unknown</p>
<p>Some of you may be thinking that it&#8217;s not possible to be healthy forever.</p>
<p>I can understand why you may feel that way because I used to think the same way and it took some work and time for me to allow this new way of believing.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I learned the hard way. But you don&#8217;t have to. You have people like me to help you achieve success quickly, effectively and easily.</p>
<p>And if you get stuck, I&#8217;ll be your coach!</p>
<p>My Story&#8230;<br />
I am often asked how I stay so healthy. “You must have great genes, or you<br />
must be really lucky,” people say.</p>
<p>I wish that were true&#8230; My childhood and teenage years were a medical<br />
adventure to say the least.</p>
<p>I suffered from an average of 3-4 colds a year; 1 flu a year; 6 ear infections<br />
(with ten rounds of antibiotics and 3 ear surgeries) from age 4-7; stomach<br />
and intestinal illnesses every year; 2 cases of Tonsillitis; childhood back<br />
pain; leg (growing) pains; and seasonal allergies every spring and fall.</p>
<p>Then I hit early adulthood and added stomach ulcers, Irritable Bowel<br />
Syndrome and headaches to the mix.</p>
<p>In addition, I had high blood pressure in my early 20&#8217;s and a family history<br />
of heart disease and diabetes that scared the you know what out of me.<br />
Needless to say I have spent a lot of time in the waiting room of doctor<br />
offices and urgent care clinics my life.</p>
<p>The pattern of a 3-4 colds, annual flus, back pains, headaches, IBS and<br />
stomach ulcers continued until age 23.</p>
<p>I also have had 6 car accidents, 2 motor cycle accidents, and countless skiing<br />
and mountain biking falls. I have 3 surgical plates in my head from cracking<br />
my skull.</p>
<p>With all these injuries you&#8217;d think my body would be a wreck! But it&#8217;s not.<br />
The turning point for my health – and my life &#8211; happened when I was 23. I<br />
had just finished 5 years in the US Navy and was studying to eventually<br />
become an ER doctor at the University of California, Davis. I was working<br />
as a bartender putting my self through school.</p>
<p>It was a Friday afternoon on a cold December day and I had just finished a<br />
week of final examinations. I was preparing the bar for a busy holiday night.<br />
Customers were laughing and cheering. The holidays were right around the<br />
corner. Christmas music was playing on the radio.</p>
<p>I clearly remember lifting a large keg of beer from the top of the bar when I<br />
felt what I thought was a “knife” in my lower back. I dropped the keg in front of me then fell to<br />
the ground. I immediately reached around to feel what was wrong. But there<br />
was no knife, no holes and no cuts. “I must have pulled<br />
something bad” I thought to myself. I had never experienced so much pain.</p>
<p>My good friend Greg Kane was sitting at the bar having a drink. He helped<br />
me off the ground as I agonized in pain and said to me “you&#8217;re going to see<br />
my Chiropractor.” “No way” I said, “those guys are quacks!” He was 7 feet<br />
tall and I was helpless, so he drove me in to see my first chiropractor Dr. Sovinsky.</p>
<p>I figured it couldn&#8217;t hurt, and if I needed to I would go to the ER later and<br />
see a &#8216;real&#8217; doctor.</p>
<p>Two hours later &#8211; after getting a set of x-rays and one treatment from this<br />
chiropractor &#8211; I was beginning to feel some minor relief. So I agreed to continue<br />
seeing him for more treatments. To my surprise I was feeling significant relief after<br />
just one week of treatments.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the catch &#8211; the pain relief was NOT the only gift I received from seeing<br />
this doctor. The adjustments he was doing to my spine were also helping to relieve other problems in my body&#8230; Like my stomach pains and allergies.</p>
<p>But to tell you the truth, the real treasure was to come from the teachings that he offered in the weeks to follow. And to be quite honest, I was not a very good student. He was a chiropractor and I had some preconditioned disbelief.  It seems that quite a few medical doctors do not &#8216;believe&#8217; in chiropractic, and I was unfortunate to have known a few of these types of doctors.</p>
<p>One day during a routine office visit I told him that I was unsure about his information and<br />
he responded with one of the most powerful questions I have ever heard.</p>
<p>He said &#8220;Jack, if you don&#8217;t believe in what I am teaching you now, can you at<br />
least suspend your disbelief long enough to see it working for you?&#8221;</p>
<p>He also did something even more powerful&#8230; he gave me some great books<br />
to read. The first book I read was Quantum Healing by Dr. Deepak Chopra MD.<br />
I was stunned. Dr. Chopra wrote about the power that humans have to heal<br />
themselves from any disease &#8211; even Cancer. I had never heard this<br />
information before in my life. Especially from a prominent medical doctor.</p>
<p>I had been to over 50 doctors in my life for my own health<br />
problems, I was doing my undergraduate work with the intention of eventually becoming an ER doctor or surgeon, and I was working as a volunteer in a busy medical hospital. Yet I had never heard anything like this before.</p>
<p>So I searched for any information I could find about the power to be free<br />
from all disease. I read dozens of books and attended private seminars<br />
outside of my regular education. I traveled to doctors offices across the<br />
country (U.S.) to observe their methods and learn from their teachings. I<br />
was profoundly influenced and absolutely changed forever by these new<br />
discoveries.</p>
<p>This was how I discovered the Secret to being healthy forever! Six months after discovering these Secrets I had no more allergies, no more stomach pain, no more headaches, no more back pain, no more IBS, no more high blood pressure and no more common colds or flus.</p>
<p>I had gone from taking regular allergy medications, anti-inflammatory<br />
medications, pain pills, stomach acid pills, IBS pills and cold medications to<br />
taking nothing but a few vitamins and supplements.</p>
<p>Flash forward 17+ years&#8230;<br />
I am now 41 years old and I have not been sick in 17 years. No medications,<br />
no colds. Nothing. I&#8217;ve only seen an MD one time in the last 17 years to<br />
have an X-ray for a skiing injury to my shoulder. (Which I healed using the<br />
methods from my book, naturally).</p>
<p>I never take for granted the things I have learned and the gifts I have<br />
received. I really appreciate knowing what I know and sharing this knowledge with people that I love. Especially for my own family. My two kids Mina (9) and Skye(7) never get sick and have never been to a Doctors office. And they are un-vaccinated and have never taken medicines. And we have traveled frequently and been around plenty of people with illnesses&#8230; Yet we all enjoy amazing health.</p>
<p>I am also grateful to be able to teach &#8211; or remind &#8211; people like you how to use<br />
this knowledge and power to become healthy forever.</p>
<p>So can you do it? Can you go from being sick to being part of the New Healthy? Even if you are really sick? Yes you can. And I know you can because I&#8217;ve done it myself.</p>

<p><a href="http://drjackricci.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/clown.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-475" title="clown" src="http://drjackricci.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/clown.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><strong> The Clown Chakra<br />
by Swami Beyondananda&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>The Clown Scientists have found that all our problems can be placed under<br />
one heading: Seriousness.</p>
<p>Seriousness is the leading cause of everything from Cancer to Reincarnation.</p>
<p>Scientists from the Clown Academy have already discovered a new source of<br />
healing. It is a psychic energy point located between the heart chakra and the throat<br />
chakra. It is called the Clown Chakra.</p>
<p>If people are feeling miserable, if they have financial problems, if their<br />
relationship situation is the pits, if they are in ill health, if they have<br />
a need to sue people, if they find fault with their brother, then obviously,<br />
their Clown Chakra is closed.</p>
<p>When this happens, the scientists have observed under a high-powered<br />
microscope that the cells of every organ display a sad face, and when the<br />
Clown Chakra is open and functioning normally, the cells display a happy<br />
face.</p>
<p>The scientists realized that if a person is ill, it is because his mind has<br />
projected guilt onto the cells of his body and has forced out the love that<br />
is normally found within each cell of the body.</p>
<p>The cells are therefore saying, &#8220;I Lack Love,&#8221; or &#8220;ILL&#8221; for short.</p>
<p>The scientists also discovered that all disease is due to the fact that the<br />
cells are out of ease or dis-eased.</p>
<p>When the Clown Chakra is opened and working (or rather, playing) properly,<br />
the psychic mechanism sucks up misery, pain, anger, resentment, grievances,<br />
unhappiness, etc., and converts the energy into tiny red heart-shaped<br />
balloons.</p>
<p>The red heart-shaped balloons contain Love and Joy.</p>
<p>These balloons are directed to the dis-eased cell or situation, and a happy<br />
face appears instantly.</p>
<p>When the light enters the darkness, the darkness is gone.</p>
<p>Sometimes these red heart-shaped balloons are called endorphins, due to the<br />
fact that when anyone experiences them, the feeling of separation ends. They<br />
experience being back home with All That Is and hence are no longer an<br />
orphan.</p>
<p>This is the well-known end-orphan (endorphin) effect.</p>
<p>So, if you think someone is attacking you, Clown Scientists recommend that<br />
you visualize sending that person red heart-shaped balloons filled with Love<br />
and Joy</p>
<p>Remember to keep your Clown Chakra open and remember to laugh.</p>
<p>Seriousness causes reincarnation.</p>

<p>When a person truly understands what emotions mean, and how they fit into a vibrational scale, they can begin to use specific thoughts and emotions to effectively move back towards love and appreciation.</p>
<p>For example, if a person were chronically stuck in fear or depression they could improve their relative vibration by (intentionally) reaching for an angry, hateful, irritating or frustrating thought, then keep reaching for more empowering thoughts&#8230; This must be done with intention though, or we get caught in the trap of the reactionary mind.</p>
<p>Many people who are in fear or depression are too far from feeling forgiveness. They would be best served to spend some time in the other emotions in-between&#8230; intentionally and transiently.</p>
<p>I stress the word thoughts&#8230; not actions.  This is an intentional thought process, not one involving any other kinds of action.</p>
<p>Never should we act in any of these states of disconnection. Merely use the feelings in order to walk yourself up the scale to a better feeling place. Then act.</p>
<p>Many people are reactionary with all emotions, good and bad. Often we just look at our reality around us and lazily offer a reactionary emotion. We must realize our power to direct our feelings. And when we control the way we feel, we control what happens to us in the future.</p>

<p>A quote from a very wise teacher; Abraham Hicks, http://www.abraham-hicks.com.</p>
<p><em>It should only be talked about if the talking will make you feel better. It is of no value, ever, to activate and talk about something that doesn&#8217;t feel good, because it reactivates it in your vibration; it makes it another point of your point of attraction so you&#8217;re less clear.</em></p>
<p><em>In other words, when you focus upon the problems of others, you diminish your ability to help them. People believe that you&#8217;ve got to focus upon the problem in order to find a solution. And we say, no solution ever comes forth &#8211; it&#8217;s never inspired; you never recognize it, and you are never able to facilitate or achieve it &#8211; from your place of focusing on the problem. They are two entirely different vibrations.   If you have someone who has many things going wrong and one thing going right, beat the drum of what&#8217;s going right, and let that be your point of attraction. If you focus upon their problems, you achieve vibrational harmony with something other than the Source that gives you solution.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8212; Abraham</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><img class="size-medium wp-image-352 alignright" title="Couple_of_Bacteria" src="http://drjackricci.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/couple_of_bacteria1.jpg?w=208&#038;h=217" alt="Couple_of_Bacteria" width="208" height="217" /></em>What is the reality with the Swine Flu and other &#8216;germ-related&#8217; diseases?  Are we really that weak as humans that any little germ that finds us will make us sick?  Are our lives being controlled by little germs or is there something very important missing from our understanding of the nature of disease?</p>
<p>Wise people like you will appreciate the information I disclose in this report. I share a secret that even your doctor might not know&#8230;  <em>The “Germ Theory of Disease” is only small part of a much bigger picture, and it does not explain the true nature of disease!!</em></p>
<p>The Germ Theory was created and promulgated (in part) by Louis Pasteur in the 1860’s.  To this day it is the basis for modern/western medicine&#8217;s approach to health and disease.  But Is Pasteur’s theory really sound?</p>
<p>According to Pasteur:</p>
<p>● Germs/microbes cause disease.</p>
<p>● Germs invade the body from the outside, from air, water, food or contact.</p>
<p>● Human blood is sterile and can only be infected by outside microbes.</p>
<p>● Germs are monomorphic meaning they have only one form.</p>
<p>● Specific diseases are caused by specific germs and should be killed by medications.</p>
<p>Are these statements valid and true without exception?  Let&#8217;s look at some other scientists&#8217; work for some answers.</p>
<p>Robert Koch, a German scientist, contributed some amazing things to the world of science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Koch.   While working with the concepts involving the Germ Theory of disease Koch derived the popular “Koch’s Postulates.”</p>
<p><strong>Koch&#8217;s postulates are:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy animals.</li>
<li>The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure <a title="Cell culture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_culture">culture</a>.</li>
<li>The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.</li>
<li>The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.</li>
</ol>
<p>So what did Koch actually find?  He found that you could find germs (that were thought to cause certain diseases) in healthy people with no symptoms (still true today).  So postulate 1 needed revision.  He also found that some people could be exposed to the germs and not contract the disease.  Now postulate 3 also needed some work.</p>
<p>So what about those Germs&#8230; those pesky little things that are supposedly responsible for making us sick?   So, we all have Germs in us, but most of us are still healthy.  Why is this fact so important?</p>
<p><em>Why do some people get sick and others not, even though they&#8217;ve been exposed to the same germs?<br />
</em></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at another scientists work; Professor Antoine Béchamp.  Béchamp brought forward the theory of pleomorphism. He was able to observe in his microscope that a germ could evolve into many different forms.  He found that a germ could transform from virus to bacteria, yeast, fungus, and mold.  This is important information in the area of Germs and disease!</p>
<p>Claude Bernard (another contemporary of Béchamp) expounded on the pleomorphic theory and related ideas.  He contributed to the whole picture by showing that the inner terrain &#8211; the physical environment of the host organism &#8211; was the major factor that either allowed or resisted diseases to form.</p>
<p>One of the key findings of Bernard&#8217;s work is that the pH (acid/alkaline balance) of the environment was one of the most important factors in determining whether or not germs could grow in living tissue.</p>
<p>Science has shown that germs grow more readily in an acidic environment.  If the human blood pH drops by as little as 0.1, the corresponding increase in acidity allows for human immune function to decrease significantly enough for opportunistic germs to begin growing unchecked.</p>
<p>Why is this important information?  Because what you eat and how you feel are what affects the pH of your body.  So you can eat the right foods and reduces stress in your life to balance your pH levels, thereby allowing your own body to fight off disease!</p>
<p><em>“Claud Bernard was right&#8230; the microbe(germ) is nothing; the terrain is everything.” -Louis Pasteur quoted on his death bed.</em></p>
<p>So, why are we still hearing so much in the media about germs?  Why has medical community ignored these and similar findings about Germs and disease for the last 140 years or more, and is still promoting today that Germs are the sole cause disease?  Could it be that we are so wrapped up in the deception that we can&#8217;t change our ways?  What do the Pharmaceutical companies have to do with it?  These questions will have to be answered in another blog post&#8230;</p>
<p>But now you know the truth.  Germs are only a part of the picture, and in most cases, only a very small part of the problem.</p>
<p>Germs alone don&#8217;t make you sick unless you allow them to.  Your health and resistance to disease is dependent upon freeing yourself from all forms of stress (mental/emotional, chemical, physical) and allowing your body to harmonize and function as it was designed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-312" title="chiropractic" src="http://drjackricci.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/chiropractic.gif?w=300&#038;h=229" alt="chiropractic" width="300" height="229" />I appreciate so many things in life &#8211; and I do so many wonderful things for my work &#8211; but at the top of the list is having a rewarding career as a Wellness Chiropractor and Teacher of Health and Well-being.</p>
<p>I want to give you a valuable gift right now. I&#8217;m going to share with you a powerful secret.  It&#8217;s one of the simplest, yet most valuable<em> <strong>secrets</strong></em> about your health and longevity that I know of; something that hundreds of millions of people don&#8217;t know about yet.  If you pay attention to this ONE area of your health you&#8217;ll have a better chance of living a long and healthy life.  Read on?</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the answer?  First I have a quick question for you.</p>
<p>Of all the systems in your body, which system is most vital to your health and longevity?</p>
<p>You guessed it.  It&#8217;s your Nervous System.</p>
<p>Your Nervous System is responsible for the growth, health, control and monitoring of ALL the other systems in your body.  This system conveys your Intelligence throughout your body.</p>
<p>Why is this important and relevant?  Because the primary pathway of communication is through your Spine, and your spine IS something you can take care of and keep healthy for life.</p>
<p>The most empowering thing I can share with you is this:  YOU can keep your spine healthy all of your life if you want.  And a good Wellness Chiropractor is THE specialist in helping you maintain optimal function in this area!</p>
<p>Chiropractic is not simply about bones out-of-place, back aches or neck pains.  Yes, chiropractic adjustments can often help you recover from neck, back or joint pain quickly&#8230;</p>
<p>But the real <strong>Secret </strong>I wish to share with you is this:<em> chiropractic adjustments to your spine help your Vital Power (your nervous system) to flow uninterrupted throughout your body.  This allows you to be healthy from the inside out.</em> Chiropractors don&#8217;t heal you&#8230; you heal yourself with a optimally functioning nervous system.</p>
<p>When I give spinal adjustments I expect they body to function better than it was before.  In my office we often see spontaneous, &#8220;accidental&#8221; healing events.  I call these experiences &#8220;accidental&#8221; because most of my patients are surprised to see such a positive result in another area of their body (eg. digestion, heart function, breathing, sleep, stamina&#8230;) even though I was working with their spine.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I noticed improvements to my neck and back pain levels immediately after the first adjustment and more with each visit.  Then within 2 weeks I was also noticing that my old digestive problems were gone.&#8221; &#8211; Steve S., San Rafael, CA</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Of all the things I do for work, being a Wellness Chiropractor is at the top of the list.  This kind of work encompasses so many areas of life and well-being.  I feel fulfilled every day when I connect with my clients and help them to feel and function better.  And I love seeing and hearing about the Miracles that happen every day! It&#8217;s so rewarding to do this type of work.</p>
<p>As a Wellness Chiropractor I get to focus on <strong><em>all</em></strong> aspects of health and well-being when I am working with my clients.  I consider their physical fitness, nutrition and chemistry, and their general state of happiness and emotional fulfillment.  I will take the time to Coach my clients on how to make better decisions in life so that they can enjoy being healthy for a long time.  Everything I do helps my clients to function better and feel stronger.</p>
<p>I too enjoy visiting a Wellness Chiropractor on a regular basis.  Why?  Because I feel better, I sleep better, my digestion is better and I feel more flexible.  I get adjusted because I am healthier with the adjustments than without.  I&#8217;ve tried both ways and I definitely notice a difference from being regularly adjusted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-290" title="leap_stream" src="http://drjackricci.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/leap_stream.gif?w=252&#038;h=189" alt="leap_stream" width="252" height="189" />By the end of this article you will understand exactly what to do to begin attracting the miracles that you desire into your life right now.  Is it worth it to you to read on?  How bad do you want a miracle?</p>
<p>The Truth is that you and everything in your life are miracles.  You may or may not agree with that statement.  If everything is good in your life then you probably agree with me.  On the other hand, if some things in your life are troubling you you may disagree that all of life is a miracle.</p>
<p>Miracles are thought to be &#8220;divine intervention, or a gift from God.&#8221;  Which is true.  But so is everything else in life.  You, your family, all of the physical things in your life, and all the experiences you enjoy are all miracles.  Everything is a gift from God.  Even the things we call problems are really just gifts in response to our asking.  We are literally living that which we have asked for in every moment of life.  The miracles we are receiving are there because we have asked for them.</p>
<p>The trick is to intentionally attract the miracles you want, and to avoid as many of the undesirable &#8216;miracles.&#8217;  How do you do this?  There are many ways.</p>
<p>One way is called Selective Sifting.  I learned about it from Abraham-Hicks (<a href="http://www.abraham-hicks.com">http://www.abraham-hicks.com</a>).</p>
<p>Selective sifting means to selectively look through your life for those things which please you the most.  Past, present and future.  Just put the words &#8220;Selective Sifting&#8221; and or &#8220;Intentionally Creating&#8221; on sticky notes or reminder cues everywhere you are.  Then remember to activate your mind regularly on the positive events of your life.</p>
<ol>
<li>Look through your past for the things you loved most.  Think of the people, places, things and experiences that you most enjoyed in your life.</li>
<li>Also spend some time doing the same thing for your current situation.   Take some time and look for those things about your current life that please you the most.</li>
<li>And then visualize into your future life for things that you will enjoy when you get there (virtual reality imagination).</li>
</ol>
<p>What will begin happening when you do this <strong>regularly</strong>?  The Universe and the world around you will begin to reflect more of that which you are focusing on.  The things that you give your mental and emotional attention to will multiply in your physical reality.</p>
<p>This works all the time, every time.  No exceptions. The reason that some people think it does not work is simply because they have been lazily &#8216;reacting&#8217; to and attracting more of the things in their life that they do not want.  The only reason that it may not work in the way that you want it to is if you do not do the steps with regularity.</p>
<p>I was watching Finding Nemo today with my kids when this great idea popped into my head.   It happened right in the middle of the movie when Nemo&#8217;s father Marlin is introduced to the &#8220;currents&#8221; of the ocean (eg. the Gulf Stream).  Watching the turtles enter the massive current got me thinking about the &#8220;stream&#8221; of energy we call life.   The stream of life has many names;  current of life, source energy, God force, chi, life force, all that is&#8230;  But they all refer to the same thing;  the non-physical vibration that feeds every living and non-living thing.</p>
<p>The idea I had during the movie was to imagine that I was in that &#8217;stream&#8217; cruising along like the turtles and selectively choosing those things I wanted in my experience&#8230; and at the same time bypassing those things I don&#8217;t want.</p>
<p>Do this exercise often enough and you&#8217;ll find those things you could only imagined would come true quickly become reality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you showing up to your life with your best?  Are you giving everything you have to fulfilling your dreams and desires?  Or are you settling for mediocrity?</p>
<p>Have a look at this video and see if you have a change in your perspective&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://drjackricci.com/2009/01/14/perspectives-on-mediocrity/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/hyhPinv7ry8/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>Two things stand out right away when I watched this video:  perspective and dedication.</p>
<p>1. Perspective:  You see how the coach blindfolded his player before he coached him into doing something he never thought he could do?</p>
<p>When you are setting and working toward your goals it really helps if you can give yourself a change in perspective.</p>
<blockquote><p>You cannot solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it. &#8211; Einstein</p></blockquote>
<p>Give yourself the best opportunity to create change and manifest your goals by forcing yourself to look at your situation through new eyes (or no eyes at all).</p>
<p>2.  Dedication:  The coach asked his player to give him his best and then held him accountable for his commitment.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dreams and dedication are a powerful combination. &#8211; William Longgood</p></blockquote>
<p>Are you dedicated to achieving your best?  Or are you dedicated to mediocrity?</p>
<p>What can a good coaching program do for you?  Do you want to reach the 20 yard line?  50 yard line?  Or the 100 yard line landing in the end zone?</p>
<p>Have a look at my <a href="http://drjackricci.com/products/beyond-vitality/">Beyond Vitality and Prosperity</a> program.  I have created a very unique web-based multimedia coaching system that will give you the tools, processes, guidance and inspiration to take your life across the goal line!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get started right now!  Don&#8217;t wait a minute longer&#8230; the results will amaze you and the people around you.</p>
<p>Make it an amazing day!</p>
