A Magical 10 Year Anniversary Surprise

* * * Quote of the Week * * *

"Laughter is to life what shock absorbers are to
automobiles. It won't take the potholes out of the
road, but it sure makes the ride smoother."
—Barbara Johnson
-Writer

* * * Sally Commentary * * *

Last year on our 9th wedding anniversary, my
husband suggested that we go to a restaurant in
Greenwich village in NYC, somewhere we used to go
to eat and sit in for a jam session. (My husband
is a jazz bass player, and I am a pianist). So we
went! Little did we know that we were going to
run into musicians that we knew, and after
dinner, they asked if we wanted to sit in. Of
course, we said yes.

I always wore my wedding ring on special occasions,
but always was careful to put it in my purse if I were to
take it off playing the piano. After I had our two children,
however, I was gigging less and less, and wore the
ring less and less, because it would snag on my
baby's clothes, or I didn't want to scratch my
kids while picking them up. But when I wasn't
wearing it, it would sit lovingly in a small red
sparkly container in a very specific place on my
bureau. It was either in the red case, or on my
finger. I loved the ring as much as I did the
day I got it, and whether I was wearing it or not,
it was always in my heart as a symbol of the
romantic time that symbolized young love.

Now, I had been out of practice putting the ring
in my purse. I hastily took off the ring set, as I
can't play too well with it on. Sometimes it turns
around and the diamond would click on the keys.
I placed it on top of the piano, making a mental
note to myself, something like, "I will be SURE
not to forget I did that. It is not possible,
anyways, because I will see it when I get up to
play." However, after we played a couple of tunes,
the adrenaline was running high. We thanked the
musicians, who wished us a happy anniversary, and
we were on our merry way. Me, and my husband. Me
and my bare finger. Of course I called the restaurant
the minute I got home and realized I didn't have it.
But, the ring was gone. I was heartbroken!

One day I was doing some banking, and suddenly
remembered that I had opened a business account a
while back that I wasn’t using. There was $935 in there.
I thought to myself that maybe I could use this money
towards another ring someday...

This year, December 22nd was our ten-year
anniversary. One year ago to that day, I lost my
ring. My husband asked me what I wanted to do
for our anniversary, and I told him that I wanted
to go back to the ring shop we had gone to, and see if
I could find a replacement ring, and that I had
found some money that we could use towards one.
So... we went. The prices had gone up in a decade,
but we picked a small .38 carrot diamond that, with the
setting the price came to just about $2,000. I used the
$935 as a down-payment.

Two days later, an unexpected check came in the
mail—it was for a song that I had written called
Cat in the Hat, that a company in LA had signed
up to license, five years ago! It turns out that
the show 90210 had used it for two minutes. The
check came out to $1000, almost exactly the amount
of money we needed to pay off the ring!!! It was an
enchanted moment, and my husband and I
jumped up and down like little kids when we opened
that envelope! It truly was meant to be, and a
new beginning. A truly magical anniversary!

It's Time to Visit My Very Own MIL!

Sally’s Newsletter, Tuesday, December 15th

* * * Quote of the Week * * *

"When you have a purpose in life, a vision for what you
want to achieve, and know why you want to achieve it,
work becomes fun, and the time you spend working seems
to just whizz by." — Clayton J. Moore
, Financial Expert

* * * Sally Commentary * * *

It’s holiday time, and like many of us, I will
be going to be going to visit none other than my
very own MIL! I have to say, that she has been a
very, very loving and supportive MIL since our big
blowout last year after she read The DIL Rules.
(As many of you know, I wasn’t welcome at
Christmas ’08). What a difference a year makes!
Well, we have come full circle. I honestly think
that appearing on Fox news and Rachel Ray was what
made her proud of me ultimately. LOL!

But in all seriousness, What surprised me the
most, was that when I started writing the book I
was bordering on frustration, anger, and
resentfulness. When I came out the other side I
was filled with compassion, patience and empathy.

And, well, this is kind of cool... below is a pic
of the iApp that’s being developed for the DIL
Rules. Kind of fun, I’d say! Life is filled with
so many unexpected blessings. You just have to be
patient sometimes to wait for the tree to bear
fruit. So, if I may impart a little loving holiday
advice: Never give up on your dreams. You don't
have to know the how, but focus on the why. Don't
set limits and reach for the sky. Do positive
affirmations morning and evening, and you will see
your thoughts transform into things. You can
manifest your desires by focusing on the things
that you want. And remember, don't give up because
it takes a while for the universe to prepare the
meal that you've ordered, but know that it is in
the oven back there so make sure you don't leave
the restaurant!

Stay Tuned for the iDaughter-in-Law iApp!

Sally’s Newsletter, Thursday, December 9th, 2009

* * Quote of the Week * * *

"Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and
place them in their best light." —Jennie Jerome
Churchill
, 1854-1921, Writer and Mother of Sir
Winston Churchill

* * * Sally Commentary * * *

When I was at the self-publishing convention a
few weeks ago, I attended a seminar about book
marketing. My radar is always on the lookout for
new and cool ideas that I haven’t tried. There
was one guy on the panel, who had written a book
called “Question of the Day” and had turned it
into an iAPP for the iPhone.

So, I went home and said to my husband, hey, can
you program an iApp for me? He thought it was a
great idea, but said it had to be something
interactive like a quiz, so I went at it,
reformulating the DIL Rules into a quiz format.
Being the Mac geek that he is, DH went out and
bought this $40 book at Barnes and Noble and it
was like, 400 pages. After reading the intro, he
quickly realized that it would be the
equivilllent of learning Swahili, and that really,
he just wanted to play his bass. Who could argue
with that? So, I pretty much gave up on the
idea... kind of, that is...

Then, in passing, a friend mentioned Guru.com,
so I posted there, just on the off
chance that someone might actually KNOW
"Swahilli," and to my great surprise, I got 11
bids—and one of the bidders quoted me only
$350! I was BLOWN AWAY! So, I hired him. His
name is Rajneesh and he’s from India and quite
brilliant. So, stay tuned for the iDaughter-in-Law
iApp! Coming Soon!

I love finding new and cool ways to advertise the
book! It just tickles me and it's fun to be able
to offer these suggestions to others and help them
on their way as well.

* * * A Most Important Book! * * *

As important as it is to develop a healthy and
happy relationship with your MIL—the primary
relationship is the one with your husband. If you
are having doubts about your upcoming wedding, or
think a friend is about to marry the wrong guy,
you must get this book! How Not to Marry the Wrong
Guy: A Guide for Avoiding the Biggest Mistake of
your Life was written to help women figure out
whether they are marrying the right guy for the
right reasons. Written by a practicing marriage
and family therapist—and a woman who called off
her first wedding—the book offers practical
advice to help women listen to their gut feelings.

The authors interviewed hundreds of women who got
married even though they “knew they were making
as mistake as they walked down the aisle.” They
believe that women can learn how to find the right
guy by understanding why so many women date—and
subsequently marry—the wrong one. For more

Sally and the Ellusive Tamiflu Antidote!

Sally’s Newsletter, Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

* * * Quote of the Week * * *

"Do not wait; the time will never be, 'just
right.' Start where you stand, and work with
whatever tools you may have at your command, and
better tools will be found as you go along."

—Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970, Author of Think and
Grow Rich

* * * Sally Commentary * * *

Last week my son came home with a note from
nursery school saying that a child in his class
had contracted H1N1. Thrilling... I heeded our
Pediatrician’s last year’s advice and took it
lightly. It’s just the flu, right? However, a
couple of days later, our little fish-winner came
down with a fever, cough and listlessness that was
worrisome indeed! So we brought him in. A blood
test and chest X-rays were ordered, and Tamiflu
was prescribed as well as a humidifier, fluids and
lots of rest. I focused my mind on the above tasks
and my organized mind was on a straight path, and
worry at bay, until I tried to get the
prescription filled... The first pharmacy said they
didn’t do “compounds.” The second one said they
didn’t receive any Tamiflu this year. By the
time I got to the third one I was beginning to get
a tad bit nervous. It only took, “Oh, you’ll never
get it. They’re not sending it anymore,” for
me to burst into tears of worry and distress! I
stood by the pharmacy window, like a helpless
female, tears streaming down my face. I had no
idea what to do. After about ten minutes, said
pharmacist looked at me and declared, “Well, I
suppose I could make it for you. But I’m really
busy. You’ll have to wait a couple of hours.”
Um, Okay, no problem there... you can MAKE IT?
Why didn’t you tell me that in the first
place?!!!” It was a very unusual and perplexing
situation, to be told by everyone that Tamiflu
wasn’t available, only to be told that it was,
but simply inconvenient, as it had to be made from
a tablet into a liquid that could be ingested by
children. I didn’t question it... just counted
my blessings. Five days later, Lorenzo is back up
and running, bugging and driving his big sister
crazy. From this perspective, I welcome the
conflicts, lack of harmony, fights, arguments, all
of it!! This kind of experience certainly puts a
different perspective on things and I am eternally
grateful for the health of my children. What a
wonderful Thanksgiving!

put together an incredible giveaway event that you
DO want to be a part of.

Unlike the countless other "copycat" internet

households, it IS the homemaker who controls
discretionary spending. The gifts being given
away are PDF cookbooks and other cooking related
items.

Willie conservatively estimates that this

This week I had a meeting with the Endless Games
company (i.e. Six Degrees of Separation, The Newlywed
Game) about, The Daughter-in-Law Rules Board
Game. Now, every night all my kids want to do is
play, “The Daughter-in-Law Rules Candyland” as
they call it! LOL! Here are a couple of pictures
of my prototype:


































Overall, it was great meeting, and many
suggestions were made. Back to the drawing
“board” so to speak, but it’s all good! I
learned a lot about the board game industry and
what some of the elements are that make or break a
successful game. Stay tuned!
