Rising Energy Costs Getting You Down?

Skyrocketing mortgages. Gas pump madness. Is it any wonder we're stressed, cranky and depressed?
 
I have a new book out. It’s called Due to Rising Energy Costs, the Light at the End of the Tunnel Has Been Turned Off. But it’s not as depressing as it sounds! It’s about how to have a happy, fabulous life even when circumstances look dim.

I wrote it when my own circumstances were dark and gloomy. Big bills, broken heart, bad hair month … trust me, whatever COULD go wrong in my life had done just that!  I figured it was the PERFECT time to write the very book I so desperately needed myself, meaning a book filled with practical ways to free our emotions from the tyranny of our circumstances.
 
Inside scoop: At that very moment I was SUPPOSED to be writing a book on parenting but I called my publisher five weeks before deadline and said, "I can't write a book about parenting right now! The thing I'm PASSIONATE about--the place I've been living in for months--is figuring out how to experience hope, happiness and peace even when circumstances are a mess! THAT's the book I want to write! Can I? Can I pleasepleaseplease?"
 
Obviously they said yes.
 

I was thrilled. Grateful. Energized, even. 

 

I'm STILL energized by the subject.

Which is a good thing.

It means SOMETHING in my life is pumped up. Because with gas over four bucks a gallon, it’s probably not going to be my 4Runner.
