It was pretty much my worst nightmare come true, opening up my inbox and seeing an email delivered as a copy of this ezine, but loaded up with spam. If you got it too, I offer my deepest, humblest apologies.

First thing I did was notify this list service so they could change my log in details because the only way that could have happened was for my account to get hacked - there's normally heaps of spam trying to send itself through my account but it takes an extra step to authorize and send it, which should have been password protected. Again, I am so sorry, and I sent to complete details to zinester for investigation and follow up.

This isn't going to be a full issue, but I wanted to let you know that you shouldn't get any more spam emails pretending to be from SelfPositivity, and I'm investigating what other steps I can take to safeguard things even more. Your privacy is important to me.

Now, there is one piece of news I'll take the opportunity to share, and that is I'm going to be doing a 30 day experiment on manifestation on my blog at http://www.crystalsquest.com - I'm going to try to get myself an alternative to my current job situation while having some fun and learning a new 'skill' at the same time. If you have an rss feed reader, please subscribe and follow along.

Finally, I just got notice through my own email of a new giveaway event (they're everywhere these days, aren't they?) with a twist. They took a leaf out of the old banner ad book and are giving away free ipods. Check it out at The Great Ipod Giveaway! I signed up myself, and I'll let you know if I win one!

Best Wishes,

Crystal
