STINKIN’ THINKIN’ STINKS! Book Update
STINKIN’ THINKIN’ STINKS! is my latest book written for ages 9-13. Although it is taking longer than I expected, I
finally have a publication date. It is scheduled to be released June 22, 2010. We are in the process of developing the cover design and it is just about ready to go to the editor and book designer. I have to say that this project has been quite a different one than any of my other books. It mixes humor with personal development and provides some pretty cool exercises the younger ones will actually want to try. I also see older children and adults checking it out because of its uniqueness.
Thank you to everyone who has provided me with encouragement on this book. With 3 years in the making, it is certainly the longest project I have ever attempted.
Peace and gratitude,
Bill

STINKIN’ SA-WEET Surprise!
Yesterday I got some awesome news. My friend Garry and I have been working on a book project since October 2008. We actually met in Jamaica and formed a quick friendship. We were trying to think of a way that we could help the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Then, the book idea was formed. Publish a book with positive stories from people who have worked at McDonald’s and the lessons they learned there.
After 11 months of persistence and determination, we actually have official legal approval to move ahead. The best part, 100% of the proceeds will go directly to benefit the families with ill children. The tentative title is, “Transformational Stories from Behind the Counter: Lessons I Learned at McDonald’s.”
With the official approval, we also get some pretty cool marketing. Corporate McDonald’s in Chicago is going to advertise for us on their internal website. The Ronald McDonald House is going to get the word out too. Now how sweet is that?
If you know of someone who worked at McDonald’s and think that they might like to submit a story, send them to www.fastfoodfunfacts.com to see the details for capturing their story. We are expecting there to be between 30-50 stories in this project.
With total gratitude,

In a Hurry?
I drove about a half mile down the road and started thinking about this. I looked at the clock and that really got me thinking. Two minutes had passed from the time I stopped until I was already across the street. JEEEZ! 2 Minutes? Seriously, that is not long at all. All this got me thinking. Why do we have to be in such a hurry all the time. 2 minutes, I still can’t believe that I was starting to get anxious in that short of a time. Really, 2 minutes!
I am so grateful this happened to me this morning. It was a good reminder to SLOW down and get with the flow. Stop trying to rush through life. I say enjoy the ride and take time to experience the beauty that is all around us.
With gratitude,
Bill

STINK Modes
I discovered something interesting today. No matter how positive a person you can be, you still have to deal with negative STINKIN’ THINKIN’. I had some stuff come up today that really set me back. And man, I really STUNK! Luckily, I have a SUPER COOL wife who helped me get back into a positive mode.
You have to make a conscious effort to stay positive these days and that is exactly what I am intending this week to be. And you know what? This week will be a super one for me. So, how you are doing? Are you staying positive and working through the affirmations and visualizations? I can tell you that I have and it really, really makes a difference for me. Keep up the good work and have a super fantabuliscious week!
Peace and gratitude,
Bill
A Good Week!
