If you’re single, you’ll definitely want to know about this exciting fr*ee program on Wed., July 14 at 9 pm Eastern (6 pm Western) with my friend, the acclaimed relationship expert Dr. Diana Kirschner, author of “Love in 90 Days.”
Diana — who has helped thousands of people find love — is doing a a wonderful fre*e teleseminar with another friend Cynthia Rowland, to tell you about the value of love mentoring to find love.
Study after study has shown that adults who are mentored are more successful in their careers and in school. Women, in particular, have greatly benefited from mentoring with reports of greater self-esteem and a heightened ability to break through the “glass ceiling.” And love is no different.

Grateful to be Alive! My July 4th Accident: Jonny Bowden’s Summer Diet Boot Camp

Today, I’m just grateful that I’m alive, writing to you.
That’s because on July 4th, I had a frightening, close encounter with a glass window that I never realized was even there.
I’m lucky to even be here today!
More specifically, without knowing it, I ran headlong into a large piece of glass, because it wasn’t covered with decorative decals.as these, these or these.
Ouch is a major understatement!
Right now, I’m still shaken up, wiped out and hit by a horrific headache, nose ache, etc.
Plus, my hand is still sore — somehow, in the middle of my accident, it got split open. (Thankfully, my cut got glued back together.)
My nose and side of my eye are sore, too. My face demonstrates (thankfully, not too obviously) that I got too friendly with a piece of glass.
But right now, I’m determined to keep an attitude of gratitude.
It could have been much, much, much, much worse!
My accident could have killed me.
Or, I could be in emergency care right now, battling for my life.
Yikes! The glass could have completely shattered, with shards splitting open my face rather than just giving me a few bruises and bang-ups from my sunglasses. My hand could have been cut up way, way worse than it was.
Anyhow, I’m grateful to be alive and relatively intact, even if it’s difficult to type right now.
Now that I’m so glad to be alive, I’d like tell you how grateful to you, dear readers. Thank you for your readership, support and connection.
I do hope that my close encounter with a piece of glass will inspire you to think about how grateful you are, too, for many things.
Stephanie gunning Coincidentally, last week I did a radio show about gratitude. I invite you to listen now to last week’s Gab with the Gurus Radio Show about gratitude with Stephanie Gunning.
