‘The Help' by Kathryn Stockett. ‘Big Little Lies' by Liane Moriarty. ‘Let's Pretend This Never Happened' by Jenny Lawson. ‘American Dirt' by Jeanine Cummins. ‘This Is How It Always Is' by Laurie Frankel. ‘Listen for the Lie' by Amy Tintera. ‘We Begin At the End' by Chris Whittaker. ‘A Higher Loyalty' by James Comey. ‘The Book of Awesome' by Neil Pasricha.     What do these books have in common? The famed but invisible editor pulling the strings from behind the curtain: Amy Einhorn     Fifteen years ago my seven-month-old blog ‘1000 Awesome Things' was nominated for ‘Best Blog' from the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. I was approached by literary agents and my new agent Erin Malone told me she wanted to auction my blog to publishers … next week. Suddenly I was in the foreign position of interviewing editors who were somehow clamoring to publish my book.     I signed with Amy Einhorn—a woman I'd never heard of, who had just started an eponymous imprint I'd never heard of, within Putnam Publishing, which I'd also never heard of. But I was immediately and magnetically attracted to her vision for the book. “It's a hardcover, Neil,” she said. “It's for moms. It's a gift book. You gotta lose the frat boy posts. No blowing your nose in the shower. And I need a lot more new content.”     I learned everything about editing from Amy in our passionate late night diatribe emails, our hot-potato-ing of 300-page Word docs back and forth with 100s of comments in red down the sides, and arguing—good arguing!—about every single element along the way. I'd sit in her office and she'd have a variety of ‘cases' laid out on her desk. “What do you think of 5” by 7”?” she'd say. “Too precious? Too cute?”     Amy is one of the most successful editors in the world today with the highest percentage of books edited hitting the New York Times bestseller list. According to a feature in The Observer, “New York editors and publishers speak of Amy Einhorn's success as the product of an almost mystical editorial instinct.” She has a knack for sniffing out voice, for knowing what will work and what won't and, as you can imagine, I've been begging her to come on 3 Books for six years to hear how it all works.     So I flew down to NYC to talk with the bright, brilliant, and beaming Amy Einhorn about what an editor does, how a book gets published, what helps a book sell, Amy's 3 most formative books, and much, much more.     Let's flip the page to Chapter 140 now…

Charlotte's Web Thoughts
Highlights and Gratitude from Another Year of Chaos

Charlotte's Web Thoughts

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]Friends, as I write this, the country is savoring every second of these last 72 hours of the traditional holiday break. The next twelve months are widely expected to be history-shaping and globally pivotal on an unprecedented level. How tired have y'all become of hearing that? The same thing, more or less, has been said about each of the past four years, and yet: it's been no less true each time. (Some might argue that could be said for the past seven years, and I wouldn't be inclined to disagree.)When I was much younger, the new year didn't really get kicked up until a few weeks into January; current events had the decency to wait until we had a cup of coffee and caught a few NFL playoff games. Recent history has blown that typically reasonable expectation into oblivion. There's no longer a guarantee of entering the shallow end, down some friendly steps, and working our way to the deep end. Now, each year, we're all marched straight to the high dive and can only hope for a relatively peaceful splash into the depths below.Just as an example:Four years ago, on New Year's Eve, in the early hours of the morning, Reuters first reported on a mysterious, viral pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, a major city in central China. Outside of a relatively small group of infectious disease experts and national security practitioners, few were paying attention, partly because we had other worries.Because on the evening of January 2nd, news came that Trump had ordered the successful assassination of Qasem Soleimani, who was then the commander of the Quds Force in Iran and considered the most powerful person in the country outside of Ayatollah Khamenei. For a few days there, you'd be forgiven for believing that 2020 would be defined by a regional conflict—perhaps even a world war—instigated by the United States and Iran, and… well… that fear was very misplaced. We were about to fight a very different war against an enemy invisible to the naked eye, and meanwhile, in the midst of that: grappling with the horrific consequences of white supremacy after the murder of George Floyd.I would like to believe that the big surprise of 2024 will be that it's relatively smooth, and yet, that would be quite foolish, no? It's gonna be a rough year, folks. We're gonna learn a lot about ourselves and our collective future. I have guarded optimism that we'll get through it, but it sure as hell ain't gonna be painless. Okay, that's the chaos bit. Let's get to the gratitude. Two and a half years ago, I left a nice communications job to start this blog and make a full-court push to achieve my dream of being a writer for a living. So many of you were there at the very start, immediately becoming paid subscribers and allowing me to take care of my bills by writing whatever I want.I am immensely grateful to all of you for the support. I can't begin to adequately explain how life-changing it's been to be a writer on my own terms, without worrying about how I'm gonna make my rent. And that is solely because of y'all.This year, Charlotte's Web Thoughts was named a finalist for Outstanding Blog at the GLAAD Media Awards and a finalist for Best Blog at the Shorty Awards. It's been cited or referenced in various national outlets and motivated some substantial radio and television hits across the calendar.It was a big factor at the end of this summer when I became the first openly-transgender person elected to the Council on Foreign Relations as a term member in its 102-year history. Having the freedom to write about foreign policy (among my many other topics) with a large platform, bypassing traditional outlets, was essential for that.Seriously, I'm grateful to y'all. Here are ten standout pieces from the dozens I wrote this year that make me particularly proud: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Announces a Ban on Pink Floyd” (January 27th)As DeSantis kept escalating his attacks against LGBTQ people, including an unwise and ill-fated war with Disney, I kept wondering to myself: why aren't journalists doing more to call this out for what it is? I sat down and wrote this satirical piece about a fictional press conference in which DeSantis announces a ban on Pink Floyd because of their rainbow logo. My hand to god, I initially thought it was way too blunt, not subtle enough. I was very wrong. The piece went viral as many folks, including a number of journalists, readily believed it. Snopes even wrote an article on it. “It's Time to Ban Cis People From Owning Guns” (March 30th)In March, a transgender man murdered three children and three adults in a mass shooting at a private elementary school in Nashville. Police arrived on the scene and killed the piece-of-s**t before he could murder other innocents. In the wake of the tragedy, social conservatives attempted to exploit it as a vehicle for their transphobic propaganda. So, I wrote this viral piece pointing out that cis people are many times more likely to be mass shooters, and therefore, wouldn't it make sense to ban cis people from owning firearms? I also appeared on MSNBC to chat about it with Joy Ann-Reid and Georgetown's Rev. Jim Wallis (full segment is in that link). Interestingly, the day after that appearance, far-right media were furious with me, not for my tongue-in-cheek argument to ban cis people from owning guns but because I referred to God with “she/her” pronouns during the segment. For real. That then led to this hilarious exchange with far-right reporter Tyler O'Neil, who reached out on LinkedIn, incredulous and apparently oblivious. And after that went viral, Fox News reached out asking me to publicly clarify that O'Neil no longer works for them.“Kid Rock Doesn't Know How to Shoot Straight” (April 4th)In the spring, social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who is a trans woman, was invited by Budweiser to collaborate on a cute Instagram project in which her likeness was printed on a few of their beer cans. Pretty uneventful… until the far-right launched a boycott over it. Kid Rock, a rich kid from Michigan who cosplays as trailer trash, then posted a video in which he (very poorly) shot at Bud Light beer cans in protest. So, wanting to be helpful, I wrote this viral essay of advice for him on how to shoot accurately and pointed out his long history of being a redneck poser.“Why I Declined $10,000 to Debate Michael Knowles” (April 10th)This one is technically cheating. It's not an essay. It's two screenshots of two emails.Earlier this year, far-right extremist Michael Knowles called for the “eradication” of trans ideology, which, in effect, was calling for the eradication of trans people. Openly genocidal language. Knowles, through a conservative campus group, reached out to offer me $10,000 to debate him at the University of Pittsburgh about the validity of trans people.And look, $10,000 is a lot of money to me. It would have paid off my car and provided several months of rent. But rejecting the offer was an easy decision. Within an hour, I had written back a long email response and then decided to post it, which went viral.I then took part in a segment on the incident for CNN put together quite fairly and professionally by journalist Elle Reeves.“What Target Needs to Understand” (May 15th)Unfortunately, the conservative boycott against Anheuser-Busch (the parent company of Budweiser) over Dylan Mulvaney gathered steam and scared other corporations into folding against anti-LGBTQ extremism. In May, Target announced they would be removing some items from their celebrated Pride Month collection after receiving violent threats. I wrote this essay explaining to corporate marketing executives that giving into these extremists would only exacerbate their revenue losses for a simple reason: anti-LGBTQ a******s aren't looking for tangible results. The whole point is to be angry. They crave outrage. The essay went viral—particularly on LinkedIn—and was adapted as an op-ed for Newsweek.“To the Man on the Northeast Regional” (May 30th)In late May, I had a really bad interaction with a transphobic Christian man on an Amtrak ride, and instead of getting angry over it, I decided to approach the man and talk about God after recognizing that he was clearly not in a great place. When I got home, I wrote an open letter to the man—whose name I don't know—to reclaim what would otherwise have been a not-so-great memory. This essay resonated with a lot of folks, and out of all the things I've written this year, it's proven to be one of the most popular pieces I've produced. Seven months later, I still get emails from strangers who have read it. “When Lance Armstrong Speaks, Why Does Anyone Listen?” (June 26th)This summer, Lance Armstrong, the most infamous cheater in the history of sports, decided to team up with chronic liar and hypocrite Caitlyn Jenner in an interview that took dead aim at trans kid in sports. In a way, writing this kinda felt shooting fish in a barrel. Contextualizing Armstrong's jaw-dropping history of cheating and Jenner's shameless flip-flopping on this issue was quite easy. But much more difficult was getting across the urgency of what's happening in American media on trans rights: the vacuum created by lazy and uncaring journalists has permitted charlatans like Armstrong and Jenner to fill that void with vile disinformation.“Please Read About Hitler Before Quoting Him” (July 10th)Months before one of the co-founders of extremist group Moms for Liberty was implicated in a sex scandal, I wrote this essay contextualizing the organization's many ties to white supremacist organizations and their boneheaded use of quotes by Hitler, Stalin, and Mao in anti-LGBTQ propaganda. I was surprised by just how many folks didn't know about the group's history, which is probably why this went viral.“What ‘Small Town' Actually Means” (July 26th)Country music star Jason Aldean is one of these redneck cosplayers who tries to exploit conservative outrage to sell his music. He released a song about small towns that basically winked at white supremacists. This is all the more hilarious when you learn that Aldean not only didn't come from a small town but has never lived in one. It gets funnier: Aldean is a prep school kid who was raised in a big city and used Canadian stock footage for his music video about American small towns. Pretty embarrassing.“When Both Silence and Statement Become Complicity” (Oct. 23rd)After the terrorist attack against innocent civilians in Israel on Oct. 7th, I was honestly lost. I wanted to be helpful to my Jewish and Muslim friends who were suffering and speak up against all forms of hatred, but what could I say that wouldn't give the impression I was taking sides? It felt impossible. And then one night, while taking a shower, it hit me: just be completely honest about all of it. I stayed up all night writing. The resulting essay is one of the best things I've ever written, and I'm quite proud of it. It was a timely reminder for myself on the responsibility I have with a large platform, and it made me less fearful to say hard truths.I have spent much of this year wondering about my next chapter. In February, I got an offer to lead a small nonprofit as its executive director, but I knew I would probably have to stop writing in order to take it. I wasn't ready for that. At the time, it was a hard choice, but in the many months since, it's a decision that's aged well. I don't know what I'll do next. Sometimes, I think it would be pretty amazing to be a columnist at The New York Times or The Washington Post. I've thought a few times about running for office, but I've never been fully confident I'm the best person for the job. Maybe leading an organization is my future calling. What I do know is that I am enormously fortunate to do what I do for a living, and for the time being, I am very happy writing this blog. I'm grateful. And I intend to enjoy this season in my life as much as possible, doing what I love, and using it to help others.Again, I can't thank you all enough for subscribing to my little blog and allowing me to do this work with your financial support. Sometimes, I have to pinch myself to confirm its real. I wish you all a Happy New Year, and may the next twelve months be far more peaceful than what we're probably expecting.And yes, I would love for you to buy me coffee.

How to Get Your Kid to Eat (Almost) Everything Most parents have faced the challenge of meeting resistance when introducing a child to new foods. As they grow older, mealtimes can become a battleground where power struggles between parent and child ensue. It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to be a short-order cook, and you don't have to make food that looks like an art project to get your child to eat something besides "kid-friendly" chicken nuggets and grilled cheese. Instilling healthy eating habits in your little one doesn't have to be a pipe dream. As parents, we want to raise children who don't live on junk food, make healthy choices, and reach for whole foods at snack time. However, many of us go about teaching our toddlers and young children all about how "good for you" these foods are, which can backfire. Enter Julie Revelant, today's guest on A Healthy Bite podcast. Listen as Julie shares some tips for getting more vegetables into your child's diet and reducing angst at the dinner table. Julie advocates instilling healthy eating patterns by modeling them to your child while taking the focus off what the food does and putting it on how it makes you feel. Dinnertime can be a peaceful and enjoyable part of your day! Children can learn to enjoy a variety of foods, including healthy snacks (and veggies) from all the food groups.  that your child refuses to eat right now.  Julie's course promises to turn picky eaters into little foodies. (Although, take note, one of the biggest mistakes she's seen parents make is labeling their toddlers' picky eaters the second they refuse to eat.) In this 5-day video email course, you'll learn my best secrets to get your kids to eat their vegetables and try new foods, and help you put an end to picky eating for good.JulieRevelant.com Other articles I recommend: If you want to know how to get your kids to eat better, start with a few article on Julie's site and I've also shared some lunch packing tips (although I do like to make mine look like art) and how to reduce sugar intake.

I can't stress how important good titles are for any content you put out there. A good title can honestly make the difference between success or failure of your content. So what makes a good title? Firstly it should entice the reader to want to know more. It should REALLY make them want to click on that link. Secondly, if used in public (such as a blog, YouTube video title etc) it should be something that your target audience is actively looking for to help it get found by searches. It's this second point I'm going to help with this week. If you've always wondered what people are searching for, Google itself will actually tell you. If you head to Google and enter a search, after all the search results at the bottom of the page is a section titled "Searches related to...". This shows lots of relevant searches that people are looking for. For example, a search for "boil an egg" shows some useful related searches as follows: "how to soft boil an egg" "how long to boil an egg for hard boiled eggs" "how to boil eggs step by step" These would all make great titles for someone interested in boiling eggs. TOP TIP - "How to" titles always perform REALLY well btw! Another bonus of these related searches is to get ideas for other similar content you could create content about. In this example you may want to use the following as new content ideas: "how to peel a boiled egg" "soft boiled egg timer online" So next time you create any content, take your current title, put it into Google, and check out the related searches. It may just help you write a better performing content title :) If you've got any questions, just head to the Ten Minute Marketing Facebook group here and ask me there.

Things were not going well for Neil Pasricha (@NeilPasricha). He came home from work one day, and his wife told him she no longer loved him. Around that same time, Neil's best friend committed suicide. Neil needed something to lift his spirits. Something to remind him, every day, that there was something good in the world. That’s when Neil started his blog, 1,000 Awesome Things. At the end of each day, he wrote about one little awesome thing from life. Today, Neil has written several awesome books, including The Book of Awesome and Awesome is Everywhere. His blog, 1,000 Awesome Things was named Best Blog in the World two years in a row from International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, Neil is the Director of The Institute of Global Happiness, and he has a fantastic podcast called 3 Books, on which he’s interviewed titans such as Judy Blume, Malcolm Gladwell, and David Sedaris. Neil’s new book is You Are Awesome, and it’s all about resilience. In this conversation, you’ll learn: Neil says "You never know when you're making art, who in your own personal life is going to resonate with it.” What surprised Neil about the difference between running a blog, and a podcast. Neil also says "no one should be embarrassed of any book ever.” What is “book shame,” and why does Neil feel it should be wiped off the face of the planet.

Badass Business Woman: Where Sophia Amoruso's #GirlBoss left off for young millennials breaking into the business world, Mom Boss picks up and continues the mission for all the entrepreneurial moms out there. Mom Boss proves that being successful isn't about degrees or sacrifices, it's about balance and power. It's where instinct meets intelligence. Every mom has it in her to be a badass business woman. Nicole Feliciano charts the course for building a successful career without sacrificing being a great mom. MomBoss is the first book by Nicole Feliciano the Founder & CEO of Momtrends Media. Momtrends Media provides busy women with a daily dose of style. Each day Nicole and her team of editors, interpret trends for moms, keeping in mind that modern women want to look and feel great, but they are working with less time and less energy than they had before the kids came along. Nicole and her team are there to help and inspire women to look and feel their best. Social media is her playground, and she's built a loyal following by making fashion fun and accessible. Mom Boss includes: • tips on how to develop, incubate, and market your business without taking the joy out of family life • valuable self assessment exercises • step by step advise, inspiration, and tried and true business and personal tips • insights into how to be a successful and happy business woman and mom.
 Before launching Momtrends, Nicole graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in English Literature, and spent a decade working in fashion–most notably as an executive with Polo Ralph Lauren. When she became a mom in 2005, the fashion maven embarked on her social media career and began contributing to Babble.com, Time Out New York Kids, and many more online publications. Seeing a void in the blogosphere, she launched Momtrends.com in 2007. Momtrends continues to be the cornerstone of her media empire. Every mom needs a BFF. Momtrends fits that role beautifully. Nicole Feliciano, Founder and CEO, left her role as an executive at Ralph Lauren to launch the Momtrends blog in 2007. Since then, Momtrends has grown into a boutique media brand that provides the latest news on things trendy and cool for moms. Each month more than 500,000 moms check in with us via our site, live events and social media channels looking for the scoop on what's fresh, pretty and purposeful. In 2014, the company purchased TheShoppingMama.com to expand the reach of the brand. TheShoppingMama focuses on kids' fashion, food and crafting. In addition to her online presence, Nicole has created a thriving events business that connects top-tier brands with the nation's most influential bloggers. She's hosted nearly 100 exclusive events from a swank product launch with Jessica Alba for the Honest Company, to glamorous fashion shows, to intimate movie previews with actresses like Julianne Moore. Cision media place Nicole as the #11 Mom Blogger in the nation in 2014. In 2010 she was named a Top 50 Twitter Mom and included in the 50 Best Blog's By Women. She has been featured on numerous television shows as a trend forecaster and has led more than a dozen satellite media tours.

FashionBombDaily.com was born, and today Claire has grown the brand to become a disruptor in the industry, has more than 1.3 million followers on social media, written a book, The Bomb Life, and hosts events around the world. But in May of 2018, a sudden deletion of all of the Fashion Bomb's Instagram accounts cut of the brand's access to its dedicated readers, and sent Claire into survival mode as she and her team worked furiously to restore their accounts.

Diversity Dad podcast - Helping dads to “buck conventionally” and celebrate doing fatherhood differently.

Today we are going to interview Jeffrey Jackson, husband, daddy to two twins (8 years old at the time of recording), salesman and the proud owner of one of the top 50 fatherhood blogs out there called Daddy is Best (dot) com. His entire blog concept and most of the content comes from a very interesting story that we are sure many parents out there will relate to even if you do not have twin children. Coming from his very rare experience of being father of twins and being older than usual for a first time dad (we are not telling his age, you can find it on the show!), having a bi-cultural household and dealing with many different people from many different backgrounds as a salesman we will get a very different and mature perspective on being a dad from Jeffrey. “Discipline is always probably the trickiest thing about being a parent these days, you never know what the right thing to do is.” We will learn from his experience as he shares some interesting key moments in which some disciplining was needed to make sure the kids understand the message and keep it while learning about responsibility and accountability as well. “You never know how you are going to be as a father, it is not like you are doing a job and you can see results immediately.”             We will also learn from him that even as an older dad with a lot more experience in life there are still moments when insecurity and uncertainty sets in. But at the same time we will learn that there are better ways to go about being a dad and it is only a matter of trying things out and being wise and patient (remember when we interviewed Ted Hecks?). “To modify their behavior they have to be involved in the process and the way to get them involved is to make that connection.” Fasten your seatbelts and prepare to have your minds filled with a very mature, interesting and exciting take on being a dad. There is a lot of knowledge to take from this episode, we sure did get a lot from it recording and getting it ready for you.   OTHER QUOTES: “The way I have evolved into disciplining is really just talking to my boys. Talking to them like an adult rather than like a child.” “Kids know what the right thing to do is. That is okay if they make mistakes, but it is important to allow them to make those mistakes.” “I thought I could come home and yell at them which would be the easy thing to do and definitely satisfy me but it wouldn’t get the point across to them about what they needed to do.” “Diversity dads you have to connect before you correct.”  “If I am in traffic I have to remember that they are in the backseat so I can’t the first word that comes on my mind. I have two audience members looking at me that I am preparing for the world.” “It’s the constant vigilance of being a dad is probably the biggest obstacle.” “I always try to give them space so they can do what they want to do and make their own mistakes without getting hurt of course.” “Just enjoy the kids and let them be kids. Let them grow up and just enjoy the process without trying to be too heavy handed in manipulating their growth.” “We are all running into the same problems and we all have the same issues. And as dads we don’t get a lot of support from the rest of the world. So for dads to connect with each other I think it is important to know that there are other dads out there that will support you. Don’t be scared to reach out. You never know how somebody else can help you with what you are dealing with.”   LINKS: @daddyisbest Daddy is Best Blog http://daddyisbest.com/ https://www.facebook.com/DaddyisBest/   “Let’s learn together.

Neil has spent the last decade of his life as the Director of Leadership Development at Walmart, which he left this year to pursue his writing projects. He is also the writer and creator of the 1000 Awesome Things blog, which has won Best Blog in the World two years in a row. Connor sits down with Neil to discuss some of the secrets to happiness and why it is so hard to find.   Key Takeaways: [2:25] Grab a pen and paper for this episode! [3:10] What was Neil’s defining moment? [6:00] What was it like giving a TED Talk? [8:35] Beautiful things come out of darkness. [9:15] Are you building a business on the side? Neil says don’t quit your day job. [10:05] Neil was not a confident person, but when he started his side business, he gained more confidence. This lead him to being promoted at his full-time job. [11:25] Despite Neil’s success, he didn’t leave his full-time job at Walmart until this year. [11:55] Connor completely understands as he just left his corporate job 6 months ago. [12:30] Let’s talk happiness! What are some of the secrets of happiness? [13:40] We want happiness, but we can’t seem to get it. [15:00] How can we give our children happiness if we ourselves aren’t even happy? [15:25] The Happiness Equation is a personal letter to Neil’s child. [16:25] You have to be happy first in order to find success. It’s not the other way around. [17:35] You live 10 years longer if you’re happy. [19:15] When Connor was experiencing a dark time in his life, what really pulled him out of it was gratitude journaling.  [20:35] Never retire! [22:00] Find a reason to get out of bed every morning. [22:40] Retirement is dangerous and it creates loss of purpose. [23:55] Neil talks about the four S – Social, Structure, Stimulation, and Story. [25:35] What are the biggest misconceptions about happiness? [28:25] How do you overcome criticism? Do it for you. [30:45] Would you do this task for free? If the answer is no, you’re on the wrong track. [32:20] What happens if you’re ‘too busy’? How can you not be ‘too busy’? [40:40] Let’s talk about mindset and why it’s so important. [43:15] When your day is going south, remember that you’ve already won the lottery. You have it good. [48:00] All you have to do is write down 5 gratitudes a week and you’ll see an improvement in your happiness. [50:25] Recognize you’re in a bad mood, recognize that it will end, and recognize that those two things are okay and you will feel good again. [53:15] Who is the most authentically happy person Neil has ever met? [54:00] What is the one experience Neil recommends to anyone? [54:25] What is the most underrated trait in modern day life?

Her work has appeared on The Huffington Post, Erma Bombeck, Mothers Always Write, Better After 50, The Good Men Project and many others. Playing Small Moment Lee was really lost and desperate when everything came to a screeching halt. She felt like she had to go back thirty years. Lee was feeling ashamed and embarrassed that she lost everything in her life due to a man. Lee had to sell everything she owned just to be able to afford a run down apartment. She had to work five jobs just to get back on her feet again. One day Lee burst into tears thinking she was never going to get to walk on the path she was on before everything hit the fan. The Wake Up Call One of Lee’s aha moments was when she was at a marketing session for teachers. The keynote speaker sought her out at the break and told her she should be speaking professionally. Little by little she started connecting with like-minded people. She realized at that moment that she was fully back to life again. Lee dusted her self off and got back on the path. She hasn’t stopped writing since. Style of Leadership Lee’s style of leadership is relationship oriented. She relates to people and always empowers them. Lee never takes anything or anyone for granted. She also uses humor as a helpful breaking point for tension. What Are You Excited About? Lee has a story in the book called Feisty After 45: The Best Blogs of Mid-life Women. She is also being featured on a website called Next Act for Women, and is also doing a mini re-launch of her book, My Pineapples Went to Houston, by giving a 21st century spin on it. Leadership Practice Assessing herself honestly and taking inventory is Lee’s leadership practice. She has learned to outsource as she realized her time is better spent on her core strengths. Different does not mean ‘less than’. Book to Develop Leadership You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay Advice For Younger Self Don’t hold yourself back! Lee would do this to make sure she wasn’t outshining others. Distinguishing your light doesn’t help them light theirs. Inspirational Quote “What we call the beginning is often the end.

Can Pwyll regain his Faerie Bride? Part 9 of the First Branch of the Mabinogion story. Having been tricked at his own wedding feast, Pwyll returns to Dyfed in deep depression. There he has to wait for a year before he can return to the Otherworld. Only then will he see whether Rhiannon's plan will work and he can regain his Faerie Bride. But tricking the tricksters is never an easy task! In this episode we see exactly what happens when Pwyll returns on that fateful day!

Not from Nantle but from our own research.. The Court of Hefaydd Hen THE COURT OF HEFEYDD HEN (or Hyfaidd Hen) – unknown, but, according to the Mabinogion, certainly not in Dyfed. But according to some other traditions, Hefeydd was the first King of Dyfed. Gorsedd Arberth was his burial place and also the entrance to Annwn. Was this the enchanted castle in the third Branch? A hero called Hefeydd Hir is found in the 6th century epic poem Y Gododdin (composed by a Briton named Aneurin who lived in a land which is now part of Scotland). In the second Branch of the Mabinogion he appears as one of the Seven Knights, King Hefeydd of Dyfed who died in 892 etc... Hefeydd was a common name in Mediaeval Wales. The Kingdom of Gwawl fab Clud Map of Scotland showing the Wall It is said that the literal meaning of the name is “Wall Son Of Wealth”. “Gwawl”, according to the University of Wales Dictionary means: The Vallum (Roman wall) between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde - the Antonine Wall, not Hadrian’s Wall Man Light But his last name more than likely refers to the River Clyde in Scotland. Therefore he was one of the people of the Old North, that is to say they were Britons, like the Welsh. Alt Clud - now called Dumbarton Rock Their capital was Allt Clud – a huge rock on the further north bank of the River Clyde. [Now called Dumbarton (City of the Britons) Rock NS399745].
