Welcome to Melissa Foster on her "Come Back To Me" Blog Tour!

What fills you with happiness? That’s a question I tweet quite often.  It’s simple, direct, and thought provoking. The interesting thing about those five words is that every time I type them, I ask myself the question all over again, and I find that while certain pleasures are fleeting—ice cream or brownies, for example—what lies beneath remains constant—giving back, helping others, watching others succeed. Across the board, from family and friends to strangers, the happiness of others is what fills me with joy.

I learned a long time ago that removing your ego can do wonders for your decision making skills. Without ego, decisions are made for the good of others, than for yourself. I don’t think I realized that when I began The Women’s Nest, an online social and support site for women. When I opened the Nest, it was for a very selfish reason (there’s that darn ego). I missed my friends. I had children under foot day in and day out, a wonderful husband, and I was writing. My life was pretty full, but something was missing. You know that emptiness that creeps up on you? When something is amiss, and you can’t quite put a finger on it? That’s what I was feeling. I realized very quickly that if I were feeling that way, there were probably many other women who also wondered about that little missing piece of their lives—and I wanted to help them (kicked that ego out the door, and the Nest flourished).

Women need women friends. I wanted to fill this gap for myself, and found that, in doing so, I could also help others. The Women’s Nest allows us to discuss important topics and share our days without leaving our families and obligations behind. Friends are ever-present—just a mouse click away, in a private community. Within the first day on The Women’s Nest, we were sharing, laughing, and that void I had felt no longer existed. Three days later there were ten women on the site, and a month later, we had over one hundred members. Four years later, we are over 3300 strong, and many of my Nest sisters are among my closest friends. My Nest sisters and I share everything from venting to celebrating, and even just hanging out when we’re bored. We support openly, we cry, laugh, and poke fun at each other. The Women’s Nest is about giving back. It’s about having a sense of community, fitting in, being noticed as a person and friend.  The joy it brings me and other women is something that could not be valued financially.

It’s that feeling of being part of something bigger, supported by many, understood and appreciated, that I hope to bring to the literary community with The WoMen's Literary Cafe (for men and women).

I have something to share. I’ve been blessed with books that are doing fairly well, and I want to help others do the same. Authors aren’t marketers—they’re writers. It’s not easy to make the transition, and for many, it’s nearly impossible. When I looked at my life, what brings me happiness and what I have to give to others, the answer was clear. I have the ability to give knowledge, to help others be happier, see a brighter side to the dark avenues that face us everyday. I’m one tiny ray in the flashlight beam shining down the tunnel of darkness between publishing and selling, and the more writers I can teach to market, the brighter that beam will shine, and  the easier the path will be to navigate. The WoMen’s Literary Café is a cross promotional literary site for men and women—readers will enjoy the promotions and being able to chat with authors and get to know them in a more intimate setting, and authors can learn how to build those special relationships.

Giving back fills me with happiness. What fills you with happiness?

Review: Dr. Nedd Shares Happiness Is Available - Now and Always!

The Time to be Happy is Now


By Kenford Nedd, M.D.
ISBN: 9780973329117
245 Pages

One day you’re walking down the sidewalk, notice you’re walking at a brisk pace, feeling slightly euphoric, and you realize—I’m happy!

Yes, many of us actually become surprised to realize that we’re having a moment of happiness! But Dr. Nedd, as he is known on television and radio programs has important news in his latest book: The Time To Be Happy Is Now!

Medical Doctor Kenford Nedd provides a beautifully presented book that provides in each chapter a short meditation or quote, an indepth narrative, and then a final “Quick Prescription.” In fact, this Quick Prescription can be used to remind you each week of the year, what Dr. Nedd has highlighted in such a fantastic manner. You will also find QuickTips and self-diagnosis questions to ponder. Additionally, there are exercises that will help relieve stress and just get your body moving!

Frankly, I wish I’d had this book in my hand about five years ago when my doctor told me, “It’s either your job or your life.” How many of us have heard similar words, or even more terrifying, know it within ourselves, but have not talked to anybody about it. I was diagnosed with clinical depression—actually I was just burned out—from my job and having nothing else in my life but my job!

That’s my short story, but you and millions of other people across the world may also realize, “I am not happy” with my life!

When you start reading The Time to be Happy is Now you may have different reactions: this is too easy, or this book is not going to help me with my problems. Guess what, it may not. “Happiness is growth. Take a hard look at yourself. The ability to see yourself as you really are is a crucial part of becoming a happier person.” (p. 6)

So, the real question is, do you want to be happier? Then, Dr. Nedd continues, “It takes guts to change and grow...” (p. 6)

Here are some guiding thoughts that were especially meaningful to me:

· Be silent, it is an important part of your life.
· You and your feelings often fall behind your job as a priority in your life!
· This is cool—“Happiness is an inside job.”
· We must work to create happiness.
· Feel your own feelings...
· Look at beauty, smell the pleasant things...all around you!
· Laugh...
· Get rid of the TV for awhile...
· When you know you are not happy, stop and think why you are not!
· Say to yourself over and over: “Happiness comes in moments...”

There is so much in this book; you may want to use it as a workbook over a period of time. But, no matter how you use it, this is a must-read addition to your personal library! You deserve to be happy! Keep this book near you until some of the activities are routine, because only you know whether The Time to be Happy is Now by Kenford Nedd is for you...

Are YOU happy?
