Army Vet Turned Novelist Writes Heartwarming Love Story.

By Hazel Pitkin


Recently, I had the good fortune to read Some Glad Morning, a novel by Gary C. Horton. Rarely have I been so moved by a work of fiction. I was told it was a love story and that was what I expected. However, I quickly realized it was much more than that.

Some Glad Morning reminds me of the bestseller Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier, but with more heart, more soul. Some Glad Morning has a magical way of touching us down deep.

The protagonist, Ransom MacTavish, is a destitute farm boy who captures our heart on the first page. When he leaves the farm in South Carolina to fight in the First World War, we willing follow. In one of the most heartbreaking scenes you are ever likely to experience we witness Ransom attending to his dying lieutenant. Afterwards, he is left with the love letters of a wealthy Charleston lady. Once home, Ransom confronts the demons of greed and racism to prove himself worthy of the lady's affection.

While Some Glad Morning has a strong love story, it is more, much more. Like a knight's quest for his lady, Ransom is propelled by his heart. His journey is our journey and his courage gives us hope. Mr. Horton has an extraordinary gift for touching us deeply. I'm sure you will find his novel resonates emotionally like few other stories.

Ransom's challenges arise because of his innocence. Still, he must face and defeat the monsters of greed and stupidity. Through it all, it is his courage to love that carries him onward.

Within the opening paragraph you realize you are in the hands of a mature and gifted novelist. Mr. Horton vividly renders characters and settings. His story resonates so brilliantly you will remember Ransom for years as though he was once part of your life. An early, heartbreaking scene which takes place on a battlefield in France will move you to tears, but it is from this dark place we rise to follow Ransom's quest.

After reading Some Glad Morning, I felt reassured. Like enduring novels from the past, Some Glad Morning lifted my spirit. It gave me pause and moved me to reflect on my closest relationships and what I expected from myself.

I saw how each one of us is on a journey and we are tested to see if we are strong enough to go the distance for our greatest love. Some Glad Morning is a tremendous story, one I'm sure you will remember for a long time.

Build Your Audience

By Stuart Reddy


To offer even more books consistently, construct your audience, adopt a company frame of mind, and address a pressing demand.

Actually, it's that simple. You are not going to regularly offer more books by bothering people; you're going to offer more books by assisting individuals. And I don't simply imply the help your book may offer, I indicate you personally. Initially, you need to decide who your audience is. It can be a messy procedure, or it can be easy; it depends a lot on who you are. Usually the process goes like this: You understand what you are enthusiastic about or what you are great at, however you are not sure who would be interested or exactly what you should offer. You understand you wish to write a book, but couple of people get by on book sales alone. To solve this trouble, you require a business state of mind. Let's state you run a lasting ranch, and you sell grassfed beef to local farmer's markets. You are passionate about the perks of normally raised beef and you wish to write a book about it. Who is your audience and what is their pushing demand? Your audience, you suggest, is anyone who consumes beef, implying almost everybody. That is too broad. You need an audience you can connect with. If you narrow your audience to individuals who are already aware of the health benefits of organic or neighborhood food, individuals who patronize food co-ops and shops like Whole Foods, you not only have an audience you can more easily reach and get in touch with, however you do not need to invest as much energy enlightening. They are currently familiar with the relevance and value of healthy food. What is your audience's pushing requirement? Many individuals in your audience focus on veggies, just like many farmer's markets concentrate on veggies. Your audience might feel a little oblivious about healthy meat and why it's so crucial, and they have difficulty validating the expense. You have responses to those issues and you understand how advantageous normally raised beef can be in someone's diet plan. You can assist your audience see exactly what a pushing need this easily is. Once you decide who your audience is and have identified the pushing demand you can help them with-- you now have to get in touch with them and provide them something of value on a consistent basis. The heart of this system is your blog site, which also consists of a method for brand-new members of your audience to sign up. You are going to develop beneficial material on a consistent basis (even if it's only when a month), and you are going to advertise it to obtain it front of people who are not part of your audience yet. The whole purpose of your blog is to construct count on and demonstrate how you resolve a pressing need for your audience. The main goal of your blog is to get individuals to register to your newsletter. There is clearly a lot more to this system, and I'll cover that in another post quickly. But what about the business state of mind? Book sales alone will most likely not justify the energy and cost put into writing a high-quality book and having it released. Taking on a company state of mind can assist you sell more books. In our example, the author/business owner has three major paths they could follow. I recommend doing all 3.

Three Paths to More Business Course One, due to the fact that they are a regional business with local consumers, is to flood their regional market with this book. Sell it to regional book shops at cost so they can sell it at a low rate and sell more of them. Sell them at your farmer's markets and healthy food stores at cost. Give them away if you should. Help local media outlets spread out the word about your book. In this course, you are most concerned with getting the message to as numerous members of your neighborhood audience as possible, due to the fact that this will enhance need for your grassfed beef and you will enhance your existing company, potentially considerably. Course Two is to partner with other producers of grassfed beef. Create a different version of your book for each regional market. For example, you may partner with a producer of grassfed beef in Nashville, TN. Rather of promoting your own grassfed beef in guide, you compose a different chapter that talks all about the Nashville farmer and how you can purchase their beef. Create an information product that instructs grassfed beef farmers the best ways to do exactly what you did in Course One. Use audio and video and produce lists and worksheets. Compose a guide that documents your procedure. Create 3 different bundles with 3 different rates with the high end item including access to you. Using CreateSpace, you can set up an exclusive order page for each special variation of your book, and then earn more income when your farmer-customer orders a few hundred copies to disperse locally. Path 3 is to expand your company even more. You will sell your book on places like Amazon and you will have a worldwide audience, and although it's possible to deliver your grassfed beef across the world, it's much easier to expand your business digitally. What added services or products can you offer? This is where you get innovative. Can you write more books? Perhaps a dish book? Are there online courses you can produce? Various other related items or information? Various other partnerships you can form? There are many choices.

Never ever lose sight that constructing your audience is your essential marketing job. If you construct your audience, you will will sell more books. You cannot help anybody or offer anything without an audience. Everything you do should sustain constructing your audience.

Your Research Assignment Step 1: If you haven't chosen precisely who your audience is, do that today. Don't make it too broad. Better to have one tight niche than state you serve everyone or all women or some such thing. It's fine to have several audiences, if each one you describe is a tight niche. For example, your audiences might be individuals who shop regularly at food co-ops, health food shops, and farmer's markets. Those are various niches, however they are all focused and related. Action 2: Determine what pressing require your audience has that you can assist them with. What causes them pain? What is their passion? Exactly what are you currently efficient or experienced about that you can instruct your audience? You do not have to be a master, you just need to be an instructor.

What You Must Know When Homeschooling Your Kids

By Hood McFarland


If you want your children to grow up to be strong and independent adults, homeschooling may be the best choice. That said, teaching your kids at home isn't as simple as it may sound. You simply need help from experts and those who have been there, and the information in this article is just that.

Check out your State's mandates before purchasing curriculum. Each state requires a certain amount of days your child needs to be home schooled. There are states that mandate that you teach your child specific things, but in other states, homeschooling is largely unregulated. Most of the time, you should base your homeschooling year on that of the school district.

Don't stick to just textbooks. Kids have to read everything they can get their hands on. Local news can provide great lessons. That can also teach analytic skills, which they can use throughout life.

One of the pros of homeschooling is that is allows you the freedom to educate your child in the way that your child learns best. If your child learns better with hands-on activities, then you should customize your lessons to include them. This will help ensure your child's success.

Always include art in your lessons, even if the lesson itself isn't an art lesson. Let your children put their ideas on paper through drawings and pictures. The possibilities are endless! Immersion is the best way to foster a healthy learning atmosphere.

What are the laws in your state about homeschooling? Each state's laws vary so it's important for you to know what is expected of you. You may need to have your child take standardized tests. Some states require parents who homeschool to register themselves like they are a private school.

Homeschooling is not always an enjoyable process. There will be those times when you have to push your children harder. It's tough to enjoy hours spent reading flash cards over and over, but it's even tougher to sit through a long textbook covering boring subjects. The first task should be to make learning fun. But for those times when it can't be helped, use a reward system to teach them how to stay on track and push ahead.

Homeschooling can be a frightening prospect initially. After reading the article, homeschooling won't be able to give you anything that you don't already expect. Learning everything you can will make the transition into a homeschooling household smoother and easier. Best wishes!

Methods Used To Break A Spell

By Kate McMahon


To break a spell is something that people consider as being very important. This is usually it is something that alters the normal operations of some individuals. The powers usually are imposed on an individual who is not willing to do something, such that they do even if they do not want to.

There are many methods that people have resorted to as solutions. There are those who go to the local experts these ones use some forms of evils spirits to fight the other evil spirits. They usually are known as medicine men and are found among very many people. Here, the clients to these people are required to offer very much in order to be healed. Among the things they may be required to offer are sacrifices of animals and at times, those of people.

The individuals who consult these people in most cases are those who are deeply rooted in traditions. In most cases, these are the very old individuals who have total trust in them. They serve them very well because without them, the local people would die with the spell. They also are considered good to them for other reasons such as communication. Since they are just from the locality, the old people can communicate to them freely.

However, for a good number of immoral people, this is a business opportunity. They thus may pose as experts in this field when in the real sense; they are people who are out to benefit from innocent people. As such, they may end up demanding for very many things from the clients such that the clients remain absolutely poor. Even worse is the fact that after taking all their belongings, the people remain sick.

Other people may be those who use the word of God to set those held captive by powers of darkness free. These ones work using the holy messages of the Lord. They usually use the Bible in casting out demons from individuals. Among them are those who are genuine and inspired by the Holy Spirit and those who are just pretenders. Thus, the clients have to be very careful about whom they consult.

These people are termed as being extremely reliable by most people. This is because for them, they are out to help people lead their normal lives again. They also are never after making a fortune from their skill. Thus, the clients can rest assured that these people would never ask for a single cent from them in the name of fees.

However, there are others who are never genuine. These ones may be using the powers of darkness but hiding under the word of the Lord. These ones thus are the kinds who sacrifice their patients to the devils that have given them the powers. Others may also be out for popularity rather than service to God.

To break a spell is something that requires making of good choices. It is up to the affected individual to select the best method of doing this. People are advised to turn to the Lord for he is capable of doing the impossible to man.

The 3 Personalities Of A Small Business Owner

By Heidi Shimberg


I:30:J We have been big enthusiasts of the Book, "The E-Myth" by Michael Gerber. There is a lot awareness that can absolutely assist small business owners to better understand their business and why they do what they do.

Early in the book, he explains concerning The Entrepreneur, The Manager and The Technician. These are three very different personas which can be inside each small business owner. The reason this is such a powerful principle for Couple Entrepreneurs, is that it further shows that a couple can be more successful running their business together than alone. We have described about comprehending the strengths and weaknesses of your partner to help make your business more effective. However it is also useful to further designate which of the character traits is stronger in each of you:

The Entrepreneur - this is the Thinker and the Visionary. In our case, this is Scott. The quantity of ideas that he comes up with is astonishing! Many dinner discussions with friends, he is conjuring up a new goods and services to take to market. Each small business requires this kind of thinker since otherwise the business will get stale and not develop and mature with new thoughts, suggestions and technologies. Remember to make sure that The Entrepreneur discusses the ideas with The Manager before acting on them. The most illogical business we ventured into was owning a restaurant - The Manager of us, Heidi, expressed the perils associated with that business, however we pursued it anyway. We had a hard time and eventually shut it down and sold it.

The Manager - this is the proverbial organizer. This individual desires to visualize the actual business running. Ensuring that everything has a place, that every job is detailed and can see the start and the end of the entire process. In our situation, this is Heidi. Scott pops up with an idea for a business or a new system that we should attempt to boost our current businesses and Heidi evaluations it. She asks all the hard queries, many people might infer this as being a downer; however Scott, The Entrepreneur understands that these questions should be asked and appreciates the "Devil's Advocate" approach. But she also respects that a few of the visionary ideas have to be tried, even if each detail is not discovered in advance.

The Technician - this is the doer. Successful couples share this role. If only one partner is the Technician, then that partner will work himself or herself to the bone and can resent the The Entrepreneur and The Manager. But you must be careful not to do the same tasks. Scott works with our web designer to create our Site but I handle the content. Scott goes onto the home sites to meet with Subs; I talk to the various departments to make sure the process is moving forward. We often remind couple entrepreneurs to not duplicate efforts. A good analogy is mowing the lawn - you don't both need to push the mower, one can push the mower, the other can bag up the clippings.

As Michael Gerber describes in his book, in order for a small business to become successful, all 3 of these personalities needs to be included in every day actions. It is simple to get involved with the doing or the managing and forget to have perspective. It is good to read and learn and see vision, yet there has to be real creation. As couple entrepreneurs, you have got the fortune of spreading these personality traits with your partner. You will probably understand that you handle the other parts of your life in the same ways too.

Identify these personality traits in you and your partner and be thankful for the incredible value they collectively bring to your small business.
