It’s the season for celebrating, spending time with loved ones and counting our blessings.  I am thankful for my health, family and friends, and for the wonderful testimonials about my new book, “4 Minutes a Day, “Rock ’n Roll Your Way to Happy”.  Actually, I’m blown away.  The response has exceeded my expectations and confirmed that writing the book, putting my deepest thoughts on paper for the world to read, has been worthwhile.  Changing people’s lives is my business, and although it took losing my health and home to do it, I’m thankful to have the opportunity to share my passion for healthy living with others.

With your help, the book ranked number thirty on amazon.com in the Happiness category on the day it launched!  Here is what people have said about the book:
