Get an extra hour a day....everyday!


Buy Here
An interview with author, Melody Stevens on her new book  
"Become a Time Millionaire: 100 Ways to Gain an Extra Hour a Day".


Q:  "Time Millionaire" is such a great name, how did you come up with it?
A:  Actually, the name Time Millionaire came out of a savor the success meeting in NJ. I went into the meeting wondering what to do next in business. My current businesses (music schools) were up and running smoothly almost without me, and I had also begun to drop some of my bad habits like chronic yo yo dieting and complaining to people. frankly, I was bored.

So I said in the meeting, wow, I'm really time wealthy. In fact, I have so much free time on my hands I feel like a time millionaire! That's when Angela jia Kim, founder of Savor the Success, said "That's the name of your next business!

And so that's how Time Millionaire got it's name and I've been writing, coaching, and speaking all over the place ever since.

Q:  Time is our most precious commodity so how do you help people to stop wasting it?
A:   I help people first define their deepest desires and dreams, then I help them identify where they are wasting time. I often have my clients do a one week time log. Then we come up with mindset strategies and practical tricks for sticking to priorities and moving away from the time wasting habits.

Q:  What's the easiest tip to implement around the house?
A:  One of the easiest tips to implement around the house is to plan TV time. TV can be fun and entertaining, educational even, but when used as a default it wastes a lot of time. So, planned TV watching only....stick to your favorite shows and try not to watch more than one or two hours at a time.


Q:  I know you've interviewed many CEO's for your Huffington Post column, who was your favorite and why?
A:  I really enjoyed interviewing the CEOs. One of my favorite interviews was with CEO Mike McNally of Skanska USA. He was so warm and personable over the phone. I loved when he said, "You have to BE what you want your company to be." many of the other CEOs I interviewed echoed McNally's statement as well. 

Q:  What inspired you to write this book?
A:  This book is based on a compilation of two years of my weekly ezine articles. I had a keynote speaking engagement a few weeks ago and I decided that in order for the participants to have something to take home with them that could benefit them in a big way, I needed a book. So, a friend of mine, Getrude Matshe had this "write your book in 40 hours" program complete  with template...I knew I could use my time wealth and get this book done within the time frame so I jumped at the chance!

Q:  Any special offers for people who buy the book today?
A:  To celebrate the release of my new book, I am launching it in a BIG way.

This book is available in the Words of Comfort Gift Basket.

Reflecting on the Serenity Prayer by Philip St. Romain.  In addition to being the most central core prayer of the recovery movement, The Serenity Prayer is admired and prayed by those who seek to find an inner peace in the face of life's difficult challenges. Here, Philip St. Romain gives the complete prayer new meaning by reflecting on the meditative words and how they can help us truly surrender our life to God's care.
This book is available in the Serenity Prayers Gift Box.

In Loving Memory by Dan Zadra.  What is the best way to comfort someone who has lost a loved one? Often, we can’t even find the words to express the feelings overflowing in our hearts.

Remembering with Love: Messages of Hope for the First Year of Grieving and Beyond by Elizabeth Levang and Sherokee Ilse.  Provides reassurance and compassion for those struggling with a loved one's loss.  No two people experience grief in precisely the same way, and no one can tell you how to grieve. It is a process that can't be rushed or avoided. There are no simple shortcuts-it must be lived. Our intention is not to provide a formula or roadmap to grieving. Instead, we have chosen to include a wide range of feelings, options, issues, and experiences that, hopefully, you will relate to as your grief ebbs and flows over time.
This book is available in Condolences Gift Basket and Love and Remembrance Gift Basket.

Sympathy Gift Box
Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul: Stories About Life, Death and Overcoming the Loss of a Loved One by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen.  Individual people deal with grief in their own ways and within their own time, but the guidance and support they receive from others is what helps them through it. One of the key messages of Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul is that togetherness and sharing are the keys to moving on. In these stories people share their experiences with coping and they share deep memories. Each one has found that putting thoughts and feelings into words is not only cathartic, it allows them to reconnect with their loved one and others.
This book is available in Bereavement Gift Basket, Sympathy Gift Box and Chicken Soup for the Soul Gift Basket.

Flowers a no-no at some hospitals


By Dr. Harvey B Simon – from newsday.com/health

Some hospitals have a policy against bedside flowers.  What’s behind this policy, and is it reasonable?  The main worry is infection.  Flowers harbor bacteria, and so does the water in a vase. Some hospitalized patients are particularly vulnerable to these bacteria.  Fresh flowers are typically excluded from the rooms of patients with impaired immune systems: cancer chemotherapy patients are a prime example.  You should check with a hospital before you send or bring any fresh flowers.
As alternatives to flowers we offer many wonderful gift baskets that will brighten any patients day.
Our Boredom Buster is the perfect get well gift for any adult.  It includes four different puzzle books so there is something everyone can enjoy!
The Get Well Survival Kit is another great gift for a hospital patient.  It includes your choice of paperback book, a puzzle book and some light snacks.
Laughter is the Best Medicine Care Package is a great way to brighten someone's day.

Book Bouquet has many great get well gift ideas for shipping to homes, hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.  Click Here to see the entire get well gifts line.

Shades of Grey, Game of Thrones, Hunger Games which or all should be made into Book Bouquet's?

The hottest books around are also either movies or soon to be made into movies or tv series!

Shades of Grey is a trilogy that has finally gone from fan fav self published author to getting picked up by a publishing house and being released in the US!  It's so hot hard covers were selling on ebay for thousands of dollars.  We plan to offer the trilogy as a Book Bouquet gift, but wanted to know your thoughts.  Should it include stuff like handcuffs, or keep it simple with items like a book bag and journal?

Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin is also based on a popular book series.  I think this would be a great one for Father's Day!

Hunger Games and the Twilight trilogies are in the works for teen gift giving.

What books are your favorites that you'd like to see in a Book Bouquet gift basket?
