She thinks that there&#8217;s a lot of good and happy luck to be found on that day.\u00a0 She doesn&#8217;t believe in superstition <em>(not much, anyway)<\/em>, so she dictated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Health\/Healthy-Living\/Ways-to-Improve-Your-Luck.aspx#ixzz1jFZa4bcR\">13 Ways to Improve Your Luck<\/a> to me.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>She says, that luck is thought to happen by chance; it\u2019s not thought to be something you can plan for or obtain by intention. Some say luck is decided by our fates, or believe that some fortunate souls are mysteriously born under a lucky star.<\/p>\n<p>At quick glance, it might look like there is truth to that. After all, some people\u2019s lives overflow with abundance, vitality, successful careers, and loving relationships.<\/p>\n<p>However, luck is not just a random event. Webster\u2019s Dictionary defines luck as \u201ca force that brings good fortune or adversity; a force that operates for or against an individual.\u201d So, if luck is a force, you should be able to tap into it \u2026 at any time!<\/p>\n<p>After a great deal of research and experimentation, we are here to tell you that there are ways in which you can tap into positive force and improve your luck. Indeed, luck is the product of our own mental focus and attitudes. Imagine now that by changing your focus, you can intentionally increase the amount of luck you experience in all areas of life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Health\/Healthy-Living\/Ways-to-Improve-Your-Luck.aspx?p=2\"><strong>For the FULL SKINNY, click here for:\u00a0 13 ways to improve your luck.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Looking for more inspiration, motivation, fat-melting information?\u00a0 Then join Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Club, the <a href=\"http:\/\/maildogmanager.com\/surveys\/OurLadyofWeightLoss\/optin1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Kick in the Tush Club<\/a>!\u00a0 After all, who couldn&#8217;t use a good kick?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><em>Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Janice<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<br \/>\nFor the best in wellness and weight loss wisdom, visit Janice:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/\"><br \/>\nOur Lady of Weight Loss<\/a><br \/>\njoin the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickinthetushclub.com\/\"><em>Kick in the Tush Club<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Become a Tushkateer!<br \/>\n<strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickinthetushclub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tushkateer*<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 A Tushkateer is a person who receives Our Lady of Weight Loss\u2019s newsletter, called the KICK in the TUSH CLUB!!!\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/maildogmanager.com\/surveys\/OurLadyofWeightLoss\/optin1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up and receive her weekly e-newsletter<\/a> with all the news that \u2018fit\u2019 to print, and you are automatically a Tushkateer!\u00a0 How cool is that? <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/..\/..\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Follow Janice on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#%21\/ourlady\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter @OurLady<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ourladyofweightloss\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook.com\/OurLadyofWeightLoss<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Need a Weight Loss Success Coach<\/a>?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Praise be and good luck for Our Lady of Weight Loss (and me)!\u00a0 Beliefnet is currently featuring our gallery (in a number of newsletters):\u00a0 13 Ways to Improve Your Luck, which &#8211; of course &#8211; was inspired by Friday, the 13th, a day some consider unlucky.
