Cosmic Cow Pie...Connecting the Dots - Book Review

Cosmic Cow Pie....Connecting the DotsOnce upon a time an Arizona desert dweller was walking around wondering why Cosmic Cow Pies kept flying around her. Good grief no matter how hard she tired to get rid of them they kept showing up in her life. It was the oddest sight she'd ever seen.  What could this mean?  And where the heck were they coming from or going to?  Hmmmmm?  And Holy Moly what was that smell?

After much thought and consternation it came like a bolt of lightening - Cosmic Cow Pie Mystery - Carra Riley, call her now.  A big loud thundering bolt cracked as she said the name out loud.CARRA RILEY and the COSMIC COW PIE...CONNECTING THE DOTS!

It had been rumored around town that Carra Riley was a Cosmic Cow Pie Magician. Whatever the heck that Carra Rileymeant was 'greek' to the confused AZ desert dweller. But the desert dweller knew she needed to take some action and get some help as she was sinking deeper and deeper into the Cosmic Cow Pie.  She was able to locate Carra Riley within a few minutes of searching for her on LinkedIn. It was an instant connection - like it was meant to be. The Cosmic Cow Pie Magician reached out to the AZ desert dweller and began to tell her the secrets of the Cosmic Cow Pie.

Wow - the Cosmic Cow Pie Magician made it so simple. All the desert dweller needed to do was follow 14 principled-centered problem solving methods and the Cosmic Cow Pies would eventually disappear with practice and determination. She asked the desert dweller a few questions:

  • Do you want more balance in your life?
  • Would you like to learn how to navigate successfully around obstacles?
  • Are you wishing for more energy and personal power?
  • Do you wonder when you'll ever 'Get It'?
  • Does it matter to you what people think about you?

"Yes! Yes...the desert dweller cried out, I want to discover the answers to all these questions and so much more.  It's what I've been searching for all my life."

Cosmie Cow PieThe Cosmic Cow Pie Magician graciously offered to send the desert dweller a copy of her book Cosmic Cow Pie...Connecting the Dots.  Within hours of receiving her very own autographed copy of the book, the desert dweller had read it from cover to cover, gobbling up every idea.  Within days of going over the principles the Cosmic Cow Pies had began to subside and fade. 

Within a month there wasn't a Cosmic Cow Pie in site the desert dweller couldn't identify and handle - and - keep her new found balance in life!

Carra Riley  - The Magician of the Cosmic Cow Pie!

P.S.  If you haven't 'gotten it' yet.....I highly recommend that everyone order a copy of this fantastic little book that will uplift your enthusiasm for life and everyone around you!  Carra has a unique style of writing that brings the principles to life through story telling. I guarantee it will be a quick and fun read!

I hope the rain here is done. Last time Carra was supposed to come down she was snowed in. I hope not this time!

Anna Banana,

Thanks for your article. Cosmic Cow Pie ... the enchanting name and have asked Carra about it. Amazing... my curiosity is still ablaze and am wondering how to get a copy at this side of the world.

Gene - not sure it's actually tied to that group but more rather to Carra and her talent of getting basic ideas out in a way I've never heard.  She's a great story teller.

R & L....now that makes my laugh. the cosmic cow point of view......hammmmmm

Jill - always works that way, now doens't it!

Dana - Who knew we'd all have a clue as to what cosmic cow's were last year at this time!  LOL

Candy - you're in luck. I talked with her this am and she's on her way to teach that class. You gals have a great time!

Carra - so good to see you back!  Feel free to respond to everyone who left a comment. I know they'd love to hear from you!  You so rock!

Sharon - now this does make me wonder why people didn't get the message.  Will re-send and let's see if you get it - ok.

Hi Guys and Gals - I just sent out another email to the BananaTude group about Carra's cool book.  Apparently many folks didn't get the first one. Must be an AR glitch - so hopefully you get this one.

Leave her your thoughts!  We're proud of her for accomplishing this great project!!  Reblog it too!!!  Let's spread Carra's great ideas to as many people as we can.

Joeann ~  how fun to make you giggle!  Sounds like you are back!

Joetta ~ You make me laugh!  "Experience with Cow Pies!"

Ms. Anna Banana.. you are always so much fun!  I cherish my picture at PF Changs in Phoenix with your banana suit on my head!  kind of just fits with Cow Pies... MAYBE we should have a Banana Pie... what do you think?

p.s. the e-mail did not come through the 2nd time... there must be a cyber gremlin!  

Thanks again for your special review!  I have it on the website!   My goal in writing the book was to help take some pits out of the stomach when dodging the Cow Pies of life!

Carra - it's great that you came back and reached out to all your fans!  Love!  You are a special lady with so much more common sense that people should be listening to what you have to say.  I have a few groups I'd like you to speak at here in PHX in the next few months or so. We'll talk and see what we can get set up. 

PS Thanks for heads up on the group email - I'll need to find out what's up with the gremlins.
