I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting pictures from readers!
It doesn’t matter whether it’s with a print copy or the cover image from your Kindle, tablet, laptop, smartphone, PS3, Trash-80, or the images beamed directly into your brain, please send me a snapshot of you with the book as soon as you have the chance.
Check out the Reader Gallery now. It is so awesome! And add your mug to the mix.
This morning, I am on a plane returning to LA from Knoxville, where I got to enjoy time with family, both old and young. Hard to believe there’s an entire generation of adults below me on the family tree now.
So, as I contemplate aging, I give you this:
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
– Albert Schweitzer
Be Happy! And don’t forget to get your copy of “Happiness as a Second Language” now.
Today is the day of my nephew’s graduation from high school, so in honor of his achievement, and before he heads off to Purdue and starts life as a grown-up, I wanted to share this thought:
Be Happy, MJ! And Congratulations!
I love you,
Aunt Valerie
The pricing promo for Happiness as a Second Language ended, but Amazon continued it on their own. I’m not sure how long this will go, but you can still get the eBook for under $5!
Both print and Kindle versions are available here.
And if you’ve already got your copy, please don’t forget to review it.
Thanks!
This is a photo I took from my back patio this morning. Friday, January 11, 2013.
You’ve already formed an opinion about me, my home, my life, all kinds of things based on this picture, but what you see in my back yard isn’t what matters, it’s what I see in my back yard that matters.
I could point out all kinds of things in this picture to be unhappy about:
Only I could have an experience like this. Warning – this post is going to be long, and it is going to test your ability to believe the unbelievable. If I put this scene in a script, the producers would throw it out for straining credibility, but I assure you, every word is true. Hopefully the named players below will chime in.
At the end of this week — the first week Happiness as a Second Language has been on sale, I was searching for the most appropriate quote I could find, and this one really fits:
Perceive and rejoice that life is abundant, that beauty and
goodness are amply available . . . that your happiness is
in your hands. – Paul Hodges
Thank you all for an abundant, beautiful, HAPPY week!
If you have your book already, even if it’s on a Kindle or iPad, don’t forget to take a picture of yourself with the cover to post on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., and of course, send it to me to include in our Reader Gallery!
Have a great week, and Be Happy!
