Thought for Today

“My Life is My Message” ― Mahatma Gandhi

As an American I am deeply concerned about the fear, anger, hatred and violence that seems to be overtaking our country during this election year. I am human and it is not easy to resist giving into fear. Sometimes it seems that there is no way to heal our country and bring us back together, but love is always the answer and love is always the way.

Tonight I have this song on my heart. I have chosen this version by the remarkable Sandi Patty to share here. Let’s listen to these beautiful words and resolve to keep plugging away sending out positive energy and spreading love instead of fear. It won’t be easy, but love is always the way.

We Need Your Help

Over the next six months we will be releasing a new Kindle book and updating our existing ones. We are really excited about Bob’s new Kindle edition of Revealed! This is a series of books which will be an updated edition of a print book called What the Righteous Desire to See, privately published and copyrighted in 1988. I’m sure our readers will want to read this series on the interpretation of Biblical allegories and prophecy which represents over 20 years of research. The first two books in the series teach the method Jesus taught to understand the figurative language of parables and prophecy and include a glossary or small dictionary of some of the more commonly used terms found in the Holy Bible. They will be available on Kindle this Summer.

I am also updating my existing Kindle books. In celebration of Celiac Disease Awareness Month a new update of The Gluten Free Good Life will be released this month (May 2016). Frozen Fun (with a new section on smoothies) will be up on Kindle in June or July for summer’s hot days. An updated version of Have Yourself a Healthy Little Holiday will be released in the Fall, in time for the holiday season.

As you might guess we are very busy around here, working hard to get this done.

And now we have a very important request to you, our readers. We don’t do this very often, but we need to ask you for your help in promoting these Kindle books. We use our writing to try to bring in money to help with our retirement living expenses and promoting a successful aging lifestyle. Unfortunately, our efforts in that direction have not been what it needs to be if we are going to help very many people.

So how can you help?

First you can share with us online marketing ideas you have successfully used. We would love to hear your experiences. If anyone of you know how to be a professional internet marketer, and would want to help us promote our works and services on a “wealth sharing” (commission) basis please contact us.
Next, you can help by re-blogging the articles we will be posting to announce the release of the individual books. We know our readers already re-blog many of our articles and we appreciate it greatly.
You can mention Espirational in your Social Networks. Your tweets, pins, Facebook mentions and other forms of Social Networking do help and are appreciated.
If you would be interested in a guest blog post from Bob or I on a topic related to the books or something you’ve seen on one of our blogs, please let us know.
Finally, if you have purchased or read any of our e-books and found them helpful please leave a review on Amazon or you may even considered writing a review for your blog.

Please leave a comment below or use the contact form on the Contact Us page with any ideas, suggestions or if you are interested in a guest post or a reviewing a book. Thank you.

A Favorite Book of Mine

One of my favorite books is Feel the Fear and do it Anyway by Susan Jeffers Ph.D. Although it was first published in 1987 and Dr. Jeffers passed in 2012 this book and workshops based on it are still going strong and helping people today. I bought a copy in 1990 after moving halfway across the state to take my “dream job” only to have it turn into a nightmare. I not only read the book, I did the work. I stopped watching the news and reading the newspaper. I wrote out affirmations and posted them on the bulletin board above my desk. I even started listening to positive books on tape as I drove to and from work. And you know what? It worked. This book showed me that I could be afraid but keep moving. It also started me on the journey toward living a positive lifestyle. Before that I was a rather negative person. I didn’t change overnight and I am still a work in progress but I am so grateful that Dr. Jeffers wrote this book and persisted in her attempts to get it published. Thank you Susan! You are missed.

Thanks to a new program from Amazon.com you can now read a sample by clicking HERE. Our ID is embedded in the link so we will receive credit if you purchase the book.

Positive Inspiration Through the E-mail

On great thing about the technology we now have is that through email lists and apps we can have positive inspiration delivered to us daily, weekly, monthly or however we choose. I subscribe to several email lists. Sometimes I add new ones, and sometimes I trade out old ones for something new. These are a few I am familiar with. Of course you have Espirational for your daily inspiration and I hope you will continue to use us in that way. However, having a little more inspiration never hurts.

Some of these are also available as daily posts on blogs or websites, but I prefer to have them com directly to me via e-mail.
