Inspirational Author: Must Read Books

http://www.richardcarlson.com/press/obituary.html

Recently I read Richard Carlson's book "Don't Worry, Make Money." This summer, when Texas heat and drought brought on fires in every direction, I knew that if I had to evacuate my house and could only take a few things, this book was coming with me. The book was filled with lessons that improve one's quality of life. Funny thing is, the book also explained how you first need to be happy without money because money itself does not bring happiness. So tonight, when I searched the web for Richard Carlson (to feature in a blog post), I was shocked to read that he had passed away back in 2006...at the tender age of 45 (which I will be this January). Have you read his books, ie. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"??

I have been drooling over the pages of this month's Southern Living issue. With its photos and recipes I can almost smell Thanksgiving coming off the pages. Plus, my mother-in-law is in my kitchen cooking up a storm...and she is a Southern Living expert. What are your secret recipes???

For those of you who are like me...you like both pecan and pumpkin pie but can't afford eating 2 slices of pie...here is a recipe that looks delicious. It's a combo of the 2 pies so you really can have both pies in one slice! One of my favorite things to do is to combine 2 items or ideas to create a 3rd/unique item or idea. (That is how I came up with the QCharm System...I combined the fashion of the yellow wristband with the function of the visual cues to create the QCharm Portable and Visual Cue System.) http://www.qcharm.com
