			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I received an email &#8211; you know the kind &#8211; you&#8217;ll be blessed &#8230;. forward to those you know&#8230; and it had a beautiful picture. </p>
<p>The rest of the story goes: “This photo is a very rare one,  taken by NASA.&nbsp;This kind of event occurs once in 3000 years. This photo has done miracles in many lives. Make a  wish&#8230; &nbsp;you have looked at the eye of God. Surely you will see the  changes in your life within a day! Whether you believe it or not, don&#8217;t keep  this mail with you. This is a picture NASA took with the Hubbell telescope.  Called &#8216;The Eye of God.&#8217;&nbsp;&nbsp;“ </p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/NGC7293_(2004).jpg/600px-NGC7293_(2004).jpg " alt="The Eye of God" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p>Now I  know what programs like Photoshop can do so being the skeptic – I  looked this up. Here is the coolest thing – it IS a real picture. Granted it is a composit since it is about 700 light-years away and spans about 2.5 light-years across. It isn’t a  once in every 3000 years kind of thing – it’s age is @10,600 (+2,300 or −1,200) years so it&#8217;s been around a while. In addition, it DOES make one think  of the “Eye of God”. For more about the background on the image I’ve included  two links – one is is the press release about the Helix Nebula and the other is  details found on Wikipedia. <a href="http://urbanlegends.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.noao.edu/outreach/press/pr03/stsci-prc03-11.html " title="Press Release of the Helix Nebula from Freedom's Formula" target="_blank">Press Release</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_Nebula " title="The Helix Nebula - also known as The Eye of God" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a></p>
<p>In the end I wonder why people feel the need to make up “stories” to  be amazed at the miracles around us every day. </p>
<p>I would love to hear what you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Birthday!</p>
<p>Well tomorrow IS my <em>birthday</em> and I love sharing cool ideas and opportunities, and <em>Christmas</em> is just around the corner. So…</p>
<p>…we all know that life is about choices and balance. That is how you came to be here in the first place. Sometimes we become so caught up in the work or the “doing” that we tend to neglect the fun or creative side of our “being”. That is why I am excited about this birthday special!</p>
<p>As many of you know, my husband Paul is a wonderful artist. He is also a very good teacher. I’ve had visions of him helping aspiring artists ever since I first saw his work (you can see some of it here <a href="http://www.kirawagner.com/2008/12/18/paul_art/" target="_blank">http://www.kirawagner.com/2008/12/18/paul_art/ </a>) What you may not know is that several months ago he began to combine his technical expertise with his art and created a wonderful drawing course – <span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong>How To Draw Online</strong></em></span>. Simple and straight forward isn’t it? Just like the course. You can read ALL about it here at <a title="Your Freedom Guide's Link To Art Training International - How To Draw Online" href="http://www.how-to-draw-online.com/draw-step-by-step.html" target="_blank">How To Draw Online</a>.</p>
<p>Now, I know all of the hundreds of hours he has put into this program to make sure that anyone who has ANY desire to become an artist CAN! I also know that he provides individual attention to students when they have specific questions (he is very diligent about checking their artwork when they send him pictures).</p>
<p>I also know that this course is worth far more than he is asking. <strong>All because he really believes that anyone can draw and he wants to make sure that if there is a desire they have the opportunity.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Therefore, it may not make much sense pricewise but I’ve gotten him to give me a birthday present in the way of allowing me to offer this to you and anyone you know (just because I know you can forward this link:) for even less than his current price of $47.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>For my birthday – and through Christmas Day – all of my friends receive the full course for an additional $20 off. Not only that, but he has some really cool bonuses that accompany the course – and it’s all online so no matter where you are you have the opportunity to get started instantly.</strong></span></p>
<p>All you do is enter this special code – <strong>1219KPW</strong> – and you will have the…Learn How to Draw Step by Step MULTIMEDIA Course&#8230;for only $27 (US).</p>
<p>This price is only available from one of my emails or pages, and in time, I know that the full retail price will go up when everyone realizes just what is being offered.</p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><strong>This also makes a GREAT GIFT for a friend or family member with access to a computer that wants to learn how to draw.</strong></span></p>
<p>To move on this opportunity right now go to <a href="http://tinyurl.com/5y9x5b" target="_blank"><strong>http://tinyurl.com/5y9&#215;5b</strong></a> (I shortened the link so that it stayed on one line)</p>
<p>If you want a little more information about what is included in the course let me share the following:</p>
<p>The three bonuses include:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>The Creative Process of Art</em></li>
<li><em>How to Introduce Perspective into Your Drawings</em></li>
<li><em>The Practice and Science of Drawing</em></li>
</ol>
<p>Then the 15 lessons take you from the basics including how to hold a pencil…<em>yeah I know&#8230;I thought I learned that in school too, but there’s a different energy to holding it like you do when you write to holding it and getting the results you want when your drawing a picture</em>…through drawing faces, flowers, animals and more.</p>
<p>You will get a handle on <em>proportion</em>. This means that if you had a cup and an apple in the picture – your cup doesn’t look like it was meant for the <strong>Giant</strong> in <em>Jack and the Beanstalk</em> and the apple looks like it’s only big enough for <strong>Jack</strong> <img src='http://www.kirawagner.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>He shows you simple ways to get a handle on <em>composition</em> and <em>dimension</em> for your artwork. This means that it will be something that you not only feel good about sharing with others (you may even find yourself giving some of your art as gifts next Christmas if you start now) but you also may find that others are looking at what YOU have done and wishing they could do the same!</p>
<p>So if you have EVER had the desire to learn how to draw – and even paint beautiful artwork (it all starts with drawing) here is your chance. Take advantage of my birthday special <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">now</span></strong> and even if you start after the holidays, it will be there for you in perpetuity&#8230;OR&#8230;wait until the price goes up.</p>
<p>You choose.</p>
<p>Just remember I have gotten him to create this offer for a short time and you&#8217;ll want to move forward with it today before it&#8217;s gone.</p>
<p>Here is the link again <strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/5y9x5b" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/5y9&#215;5b</a> </strong>that will take you to a secure site and remember to enter the code <strong>1219KPW</strong> to immediately take advantage of my birthday special.</p>
<p>Wishing you a warm and beautiful holiday!</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Kira Wagner<br />

<p>The balance and creativity that comes into play when we take advantage of everything we have inside of us is very powerful and Paul believes that anyone can learn to draw if they have the desire so that&#8217;s what my birthday special is going to be about <img src='http://www.kirawagner.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  In the meantime &#8211; enjoy the artwork.</p>
<p>In Harmony,<br />
