Design Destinations! Celebrate Your Life!
Volume III Issue IX - October 2006

Dear Melissa,

My Birthday! Well this month marks my 45th landmark birthday! That is 45 incredible years of experience well worth celebrating. I am a big believer in making birthdays memorable so I invited 20+ friends to share in the party!



Hot Off The Press! This month is also auspicious as I published my first entire book! Previously I have only coauthored. This one is all me! Entitled Celebrate Your Life! The Art of Celebrating Every Day, it details 100 ways you can turn any ordinary day into a celebration of life. I’m including a synopsis in this issue. Right now I am working fervently on distribution, so far I am just selling through my website, www.melissagalt.com. But I expect to be listed on Amazon.com in upcoming weeks and likely a few other sources. I will keep you posted.

Great Gift Idea! The book is a great fit for holiday gifts for friends and family and my team is delighted to mail them directly to your gift recipients with a note from you. I am also autographing all copies! Card decks of the top ideas in the book are also in progress and will be out after the first of the year.

Jewelry Artist! I ran into one of my loyal readers recently here in Atlanta and commented on a dynamic pair of earrings she had on. Sally shared that she is now making jewelry! Please if you are doing something special in your life and want to share it, let me know. Anyone who knows me, knows I only buy original jewelry and art and was delighted to find a new talent.

Live well and beautifully,

MG



Hot Off the Press!
CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE! 100 Ways!

     Celebrate Your Life is about just that. It is truly about making each day a celebration. This little book gives you ideas on how you can create special occasions just about any time. It is about transforming ordinary into extraordinary and throwing a party for every reason or no reason at all.
     Celebrating Your Life is about renewing and rediscovering our gratitude for each and every day. It is about not waiting for an event or occasion but instead making our own events and occasions because we want to celebrate the goodness of life, the abundance of our blessings, and the great fortune to be here, alive at this point in time.
     Celebrate Your Life is all about you, your family, your friends, and how you can refocus on sharing experiences, developing relationships, and truly connecting in a meaningful way. This is all about reaching out and touching. It isn’t about virtuality or cyberspace, but entails real time priorities and magical moments face to face and voice to voice.
     Celebrate Your Life is about making life yours and making it special. It is about the wisdom of age, the lessons learned, and how to avoid the trap of routine and busy lives and find what matters most and celebrate that regularly. Remember we each have a choice on how to live. Are you celebrating the choices you are making?
     Life moves fast, if you miss it, you won’t get another chance. Make this one count and Celebrate Your Life.

    Life Philosophies

    "If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough."
    - Oprah Winfrey
    Television Host, Actress and Producer

    "Your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."
    - Lewis L. Dunnington, Author

    "There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking."
    - William James
    1842-1910, Psychologist and Author
