How Big Does Your Dream Need to Be?

Many individuals don’t go after their dream because they don’t think they can, should, it’s too small, or “don’t know” what it is. Are any of these holding you back?

Two inspirational videos were emailed to me: one about a dog named Ricochet and one about Rudy Ruettiger, for whom the popular movie Rudy is about. The links are available on the Resources page of my Website, and that link is in my bio. Both are worth a watch, especially if you feel life purpose- or… Continue

What Is the Only Thing You Have Absolute Control Of?

Did you get the answer to this question immediately? Horace said, “Life is largely a matter of expectations.” Expectations have a lot to do with the one thing you can control.

There is one thing in life you have absolute control over: Your attitude.

An excellent quote to remember is, “Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional” (Bruce Schneider, Founder/Director of iPEC). A fact of life is that pain visits all of us at one time or another. What we choose to do with it… Continue

Unique Idea for Attracting Readers to Your Book

Here's a really cool idea. I've done this for some of my clients book illustrations that I created - and it's been a big hit.

Take the cover of your book and upload it to a site such as www.jigzone.com and create a puzzle out of it - then post it to your website or blog as fun entertainment for those who need to take a break.

Continue to add your illustrations or photos as puzzles to keep things interesting - or create a page that… Continue

Barbara

I have just finished reading your book with a box of tissues beside me. I must say that although I have had some bad relationships in my life, I really felt your pain to be greater and women everywhere should be thankful that you have shared your personal experiences with them. This took a tremendous amount of courage on your part to tell your… Continue

Black Men and White Women - An Epidemic?

This once taboo of a black man seeking and being seen with a white woman is no more. Not too long ago black men were beaten to death or lynched for this very act.

I don't know if it's due to the election of Barack Obama to the presidency, or everyone now sees racism in this country as dead and buried; but it seems to be a growing trend to see a "brotha" on the arms of a Caucasian woman these days.

Are they trying to say that a black man being seen with a white woman is an honor… Continue

The case scenario of abuse

"The Biggest Case Scenario to the continuation of “The Lives of Abused and Battered Women"

Men have gotten by with abusing women for centuries. When the first man got by with it I feel that it gave the other men the nerve to abuse their women also. If the men had been judged, or condemned for their actions this would never have lasted this long. At the first sign of abuse, if we women would have stood up for our rights, or did what ever it took to show the men that they… Continue

Special Dream Book - The Journey Begins

My book comes out in just a few weeks and it has taken me over two years to get here. What I have found is that the book, (which I know I was suppose to write after ten years of researching and not finding any answers to my own experience) is taking me on a journey and so I thought it would be good to share what I have learned along the way.

Not only did I find out more about this dream experience by interviewing over 300 people but also in the last year by taking my book across the… Continue

Extra Sensory Perceptions (ESP)

Extra Sensory Perceptions (ESP)

“A human being is conditioned since birth. Learning language, enhancing vocabulary, acquiring motor skills for movements, learning vocals, basic expressions, gestures, territories and identities, emotions, fight or flight syndrome, processing so many forms of inputs from so many sources. Doing all this using a tiny ‘limited brain’ creates havoc upon the ‘unlimited’ nature of higher mind.

All extra sensory perceptions require two basic… Continue

Insiders Guide to Vanity Publishers

Expressions like co-operative publishing, joint venture publishing, subsidy publishing, and self-publishing are misleading to say the least. They all mean the same thing, ‘vanity’ publishing. Yet scores of small publishers advertise their services on the web. Some publishers go to great lengths to conceal from the author, all the costs involved, which suddenly escalate half way through production of a book.

There are good vanity publishers just as there are bad. How does an author… Continue

Multiple Streams Of Inspiration 2

When a dream becomes a reality it is hard to explain the feeling, when a dream becomes a reality can anyone else grasp how you feel? Is that moment unique in the universe or do others also feel what you feel? Maybe they do or maybe they don't? Maybe the moment it is unique because no one else may be sharing it with you at that time unless they are in which case the feeling is probably amplified. However, due to the way we grow as humans and the… Continue
