Welcome to the December issue of Inspire-O-Gram, the newsletter that helps you thrive in the single life!

Yipers! This month's issue is jammy-packed with inspiration, motivation, and just plain fun.

It's supposed to be a happy season, but if you or a friend have the holiday blues, here are five practical ways to send those gloomies packing: How to beat the holiday blues...

Ever heard of gift lift? It's the high we get when we receive a present. But what do you do when it wears off?

Here's a new poem I wrote this morning to give you an extra boost of inspiration going into the New Year:

It's always too early to quit

We seldom get anything
on the first try.
Don't give up when the pieces won't fit.
Just take a short rest
then return to the task,
'cause it's always too early to quit.

Everything worthwhile
that's ever been done,
was accomplished with hard work and grit.
Your breakthrough will come
if you'll only keep trying,
'cause it's always too early to quit.


Here's a tip...If you'd like to snail-mail that poem to a pal, just print this newsletter out, apply scissors, and you've got a f'ree morale booster for someone who needs it.

Of course you can also forward this email newsletter to a whole kaboodle of your friends--for f'ree!

Don't you just love the cost (none!) on that little encourager?

Quote time...

Fr'ee novel still available!

Mary Chapman, an executive at a breakfast cereal company, finds herself 34 years old, unmarried, and nine months pregnant at Christmas time. When Mary gives up her baby in a very unusual adoption, she discovers that God sometimes answers prayers in unexpected and spectacular ways.

You can get this PDF-format novel at no c'ost at: Mary's Christmas Gift.

"If I worked as hard at trusting God as I do at worrying, how might my life change in 2007?"

If you're honest about that one, that should yank you out of your rut, eh?
