Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.~Ruth Ann Schabacker Last year at this time I was celebrating the recent publication of my very first book and during Day 3 of my virtual book tour I was an honored guest on Dr. Rob Kiltz’s blog, Mind Body Smile. The title of my post was “The Key To Successful New Year’s Resolution and a Happy 2013” and in it I discussed my belief that there are three key elements to successful resolutions. These key elements are as relevant today as they were a year ago, so I thought I’d share the post once again. So enjoy these Three Key Elements to Successful New Years’ Resolutions then tell me in the comments below, what are your intentions for 2014? Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year!

It’s been just over a month now since the launch of Sheila Applegate’s book: Enchanted One, The Portal to Love. As someone married to an author, I know first-hand just how time consuming and sometimes all-consuming writing and promoting a book can be. It can be exhausting. But I also know that for an author, especially a first-time author, publishing a book is exhilarating, and for many, the fulfillment of a lifetime dream. Think about it for a minute. Browse the shelves of a library or your local bookstore, or even Amazon.com, and you’re looking at exceptional efforts made by extraordinary individuals, each with a passion to share his or her message with the world. Not everyone, including myself, has the inclination or ambition to make such a mark on the world. For those of us who don’t, unless you know an author personally, it is very easy to take their efforts for granted. A book, just one book, represents hours, months, sometimes years of toil and trouble. While some consider it a labor of love, others may consider their book the worst “assignment” ever. I know; I’m married to an author. Remember? So what can we as readers do to support an author? Our favorite author? If you’re like me, and if you’re reading this post, I’m assuming you have an interest in doing so. And if you’re reading THIS post because you’re interested in supporting Sheila Applegate and because you believe in her message, then I’ll use her as an example. Here is what you can do to help spread your enthusiasm for Sheila’s work (or any...
