Dear Melissa,

Butterflies delight! I have had so much fun mesmerized by the stunning wealth of butterflies surrounding my new mountain escape. There are pipevine swallowtails, sleepy oranges, dainty sulphurs, American coppers, and many more. It is a visual feast. Of course I was mortified when I heard my cats growling at one another and turned to discover that one had just ingested a zebra swallowtail butterfly and was still trying to get it into her mouth entirely! There was nothing I could do, though she did have that sort of odd look like "I can't believe I ate the whole thing," afterwards.

Wild blackberries are divine! Well at least I hope that is what I've been munching on when I go for my daily 2 mile walk. They are everywhere and look like raspberries until they ripen, yummy. Too tiny for pies or breads, but very tasty nonetheless. The buttermilk pie was a new one for me and really very good but only in tiny portions as it is incredibly rich! Mom was always a big fan of buttermilk and I never acquired the taste, but heck add enough sugar and bake it and that suits me fine.

We made it! I have finished switching from previous mail service; if you did not get an email from me last week, you will this week. Please verify your subscription to this newsletter to be added to the new database. I promise no duplication, but if you don't opt-in, you will miss joining my new ezine database. I truly hope you'll stay on board. I've got a lot of great programs ready to launch and taking my life and my readers in some exciting new directions in fourth quarter and the year to come.

Prosper by Design, YOURS!

Cooking Up Success!

Being somewhat of a personal and professional development junkie, attending seminars as often as possible, listening in to teleclasses, and checking out webinars, I've realized something VITAL. Success is not just about having the right ingredients (which, by the way, we each are born with) but it is also about following the best recipe. This is all about modeling as well as following to the letter some of those manuals picked up, seminars sat through, and calls recorded. Too often we find it easy to listen and view with the attitude that we've been there and seen this, so we know it. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

If, in fact, we did "KNOW" it, then we'd be as successful as the person we are watching or listening to. Instead we only understand it and have no "KNOWING" of it. We must open ourselves up to what they are truly saying, demonstrating, and suggesting and follow the example they set. In other words, we have to stop guessing that we "KNOW" it all and genuinely take the time, effort and energy to "LEARN" it so we can surpass understanding and jump to knowledge.

Smart Money for NonTechs

This is one of the coolest opportunities I've come across! www.smartmoneyfornontechs.smmsite.com As a total nontech this really spoke to me. Let's face facts: I look at my laptop as an expensive typewriter (and I'm a wizard at typing). I don't speak html, and cut and paste is better done with scissors and glue. So you can imagine that the idea of getting up a web page is daunting if not entirely impossible. In fact more often than not I am on the brink of hurling my laptop out the window due to some minor infraction it has committed (never operator error, oh no!)

I've known for a long time that if I could get web pages up quickly, with keywords, article marketing (which I already do) and value content in terms of digitized products that educate, train, inspire, motivate, and entertain, I'd have something to generate real income. After all, I've watched all the big boys do it but they have huge staffs behind them headed by uber geek webmasters that speak foreign languages known only to computer techs.

Well, NOT ANY MORE! I am thrilled to say that www.smartmoneyfornontechs.smmsite.com provides me with five prebuilt websites that all I have to do is add (in English, not HTML) my copy, my product, my letters and more. They even have a keyword search tool, headline creator, and sales copy examples you can follow. It doesn't get any easier. They provide ultra clear Quick Start Tutorials and you get a walk through with a live support person who is super friendly, fabulously patient, and knowledgeable. They also have super speedy ongoing support anytime for challenges that arise.

I've already launched one site and am about to launch my second and it has only been 2 weeks. It has taken me only two hours total to get this together and put it online. You've got to check this out. I am a technophobe and that has been sabotaging my success, not any longer. Besides they also show you how simple it is to create affiliate income with your own sites/pages. Take advantage of the two week F.R.E.E. trial, and let me know what you think. www.smartmoneyfornontechs.smmsite.com

Celebrate Your Home!

Home is truly our external heart and as such it needs a lot of care and attention in its decorating and development. Invite friends and family to contribute to the creation of your home. A house is merely a dwelling; it becomes a home when you use your heart to express your environment in a comfortable and inviting manner.

Here are some easy ways to celebrate your home with friends and family.

Housewarming by the Room
So few people it seems remember to throw a housewarming or if they do it is a couple of years after moving in. So, to get this ball rolling, don't wait for the entire house to be complete; instead, celebrate room by room. Very few folks decorate their entire home at once anyway, and it counts to measure the small successes, even if it is a powder room, not to mention the big successes like a kitchen or bath remodel.

How many entertaining opportunities have you missed by waiting to get your house complete? Remember if your friends are waiting to see your drapery and not you, you might want to consider some new friends! Life is in the connection, not in the stuff. Celebrate every step rather than waiting for just one big one.

Celebrate your home with room by room housewarmings!
