I don't remember all of the things, but one of them was to keep a "Happiness" journal and record the good things that happen to you each day, and the other was to express gratitude to people who have helped or done something for you.Scott Nivenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884995224013397488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859664823003002090.post-18664891034506226862010-10-04T17:16:12.517-07:002010-10-04T17:16:12.517-07:00Ever thought of self publishing.

As a registered dental hygieneist, I am thrilled that you covered every possible source of bad breath. I will print this article and share it with my patients!<br /><br />Many medications, as well as aging, contribute to diminshed salivary flow. Saliva helps to maintain a neutral PH (as well as "washing away" debris). A higher PH means a more acidic environment which can lead to a higher incidence of decay. Add in leftover debris and you have a food source for all that extra bacteria. Thanks for addressing this problem that so many people are concerned with in an easy to read and well thought out article!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067357428456823769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859664823003002090.post-44044060434929489572010-08-23T13:36:24.000-07:002010-08-23T13:36:24.000-07:00It all depends on that query letter.

I just got an offer from an agent last week and I STILL get "Dear Author" letters even though I'm published.

This lead me to your blogs. I could not stop reading them as they were easy to follow and interesting.<br />Recently I did what you write about, followed my dream. This is 2 years in the making but it is "live". NO Publishers needed! I created, patented and marketed an exercise bike that holds your laptop... FitDesk. After many hurdles in manufacturing, China, uspto, etc, I sell them on amazon.com and my own site. Happy to say they do sell and people write me to tell me they exercise more than ever. So I am living proof that it can be done.<br />Marketing firms have told me to write a bio that makes the story "readable". I would like to work with you and join a happiness group to open up the joy of following a dream to others. Sounds like a win-win to me.Shy T-Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224194126149953406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859664823003002090.post-15575544685477476312010-07-22T08:01:25.530-07:002010-07-22T08:01:25.530-07:00Hi!

If you decide to go with them, tell them Deborah Mulholand sent you! Your books can go online on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com or you can choose to take a lower discount and retail in bookstores also. They are an amazing book publisher to work with! The contract is non-exclusive, so your book can still get picked up by a major publisher at any time.

I also run a very successful animal art business on the internet reaching customers worldwide. I love what I do!<br /><br />So the answer to grandma was a resounding "NO, I'm never too old to color in coloring books! <br /><br />Stand up for what you love to do.
