Motivational Mondays: Worth

I love to study the Law Of Attraction and three major keys to its success are Intention, Gratitude  and Worthiness.

Intention means not only knowing what you want, but, honestly, why you want it.

Gratitude is an attitude that you project onto every little detail in your life, from the friend who calls to say hello to the water that comes out clean from your faucet for you to drink.

The hard part for me, aside from the ability to be honest with myself about what I really want, which is tied in...

P.P.I.F.: The Watch

You know how the watched pot never boils? Well, I've decided the watched book reader never reads. Or emails. Or blog comments! But, rather than harass my Touched By An Alien by Gini Koch recipients, which in truth defeats the whole purpose anyhow, I'm brainstorming ideas to expand the pay it forward part of P.P.I.F.

You see, I also need something to blog about each Friday and since some readers are shy, I'll figure better to add to the project rather than force feed it.

Here's the deal. A lot o...

Shut Up and Kiss Me…Here!

Today, I'm excited to welcome Shut Up and Kiss Me author, Mysti Holiday. Let's jump right in to her interview answers!

AS: I often joke that I should include Dora the Explorer in my acknowledgements because she helps me with the kids so well. From one stay home momma to another, what tricks have you learned to squeeze in some writing time?

MH: I'm a homeschooling mom, so my kidlet is always here … but I'm fortunate that she's older and a little more self-sufficient, so I have blocks of time...

Motivational Mondays: Get & Give

"The fact is: Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world. You are withholding it because deep down you think you are small and that you have nothing to give." -Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose.

I love self-help, new age, spiritual books. I think to be a better writer, being an emotionally healthier and more free person helps. Martha Beck is one of my stand-by faves, but after my uncle recommended this one, and he's...

10 Things: How To Be A Princess

Before I had my daughter, I thought gender behavior was largely environmental. I thought girls liked pink or dolls or dress-up because they saw it in example on television and in their mother's behavior.

I was wrong. My daughter was born with painted toenails and a wand in her hand.

According to her, at age three, every princess must:

1. Wear a tiara. Two if you have them handy.

2. Wear a princess dress. Three if you have them.

3. Dance! Especially when a fellow princess sings "A Dream Is A Wish" ...

P.P.I.F.: 1st Two Hand-offs

Though late in arriving this afternoon, I now have confirmation. Two Touched By An Alien hand-offs have occurred. That means two out of the first group of three. Awesome!

Now, to get book four to California. It goes out in a Priority Mail care package tomorrow. Yes!

And to get book three read. I'll be sending gently nudging reminders all weekend.

Tune in next Friday for another reader check in and to learn more about Project Pay It Forward, click here.
