Happy Hanukah

While not a major Jewish Holiday

Hanukkah is a festival

That lasts for more than a day

Presents, gifts, and a lots of delicious food 

During eight days of celebration

Spirits are festive and good

Some families exchange gifts all in one night

And others gift for all eight days

Communities, and families decide what is right

Hanukkah occurs at different times each year

throughout late November and December 

according to the Hebrew calendar my dear

Fried potato pancakes served with applesauce

In Israel jelly doughnuts are the choice

Latkes and Sufganiyot are enough for applause

A candle is lit on the menorah each night

symbolizing a miracle on the small amount of oil 

that lasted in the Temple in Jerusalem 

For 8 days and 8 nights

May Everyone Have a Beautiful Holiday Season

Book Party In New York City!

Monday Motivation: 

"The power of a future provides more than hope, 

it's the fuel to keep you going." 

We all need something to look forward to. A reason to wake up. Something that can keep us motivated and going forward. A new type-rating, a job, a birth, publishing your book, a wedding, a date, graduation, starting school. Some people think looking forward is living beyond the moment. But the power of having something to look forward to, brings power to the moment. It creates energy, joy, and an reason to wake up. 

Jeremy Carlisle is giving us all something to look forward to in November.

I will be joining Jeremy Carlisle in New York City on Saturday night, November, 10th, 2012, and we want you to join us. 

 

Jeremy won a contest many months ago and received five copies of Flight For Control, and a book club visit. What impressed me about Jeremy, among so many other things, was his careful selection of whom he wanted to give the books to. He is truly someone who gives from the heart. Everyone should be lucky enough to have a friend like Jeremy. And someone will get to meet him.
