Children and others are thrilled with what's in store for Danny the Dragon

Both myself and many friends, other families and children all over are so excited with the speed with which Danny is taking off. Between a variety of promotional items including pencils, door hangers, posters, a lovely "mascot-style" costume, a Danny CD and even a commercial in the works, well, to put it simply, the sky is really no limit on Danny the Dragon. The summer season proved to be extremely rewarding, and now we eagerly await the autumn and winter months!

To be an inspiration to other moms

In my day-to-day activities I have a purpose to be an inspiration to other moms in some manner. As a mother, author, artist and researcher, yes it can be a task to juggle the various activities that come with all of the above, but in the end it is such a delight to hear from those of you out there that have been helped in some way by the activities that I'm engaged in. Please listen to tinaturbin.com/r/?2 , a radio interview about children and parenting. I truly love to hear from you and a big THANK YOU to those of you that have already sent me messages, some of which have been posted at my websites: www.TinaTurbin.com and www.GlutenFreeHelp.info

Yes, I have a very busy schedule!

Quite often I am asked how I manage my busy schedule between the various "hats" that I wear as an author, humanitarian, artist, researcher and mother just to name a few. To put it simply, my key to success involves surrounding myself with positive influences and positive people. I just don't have time to allow anything negative to bring me down and lose my pace! Visit http://TinaTurbin.com to read more about my insights on meeting goals and getting things done – I hope it inspires you to do the same.

Gluten free cooking - to your health!

Friends, even if you don't follow a gluten free diet, I'm sure that many of you are aware of the importance of your nutrition. Coincidentally, gluten-free is virtually synonymous with being healthy! At least once a week, I challenge you to branch out and incorporate some of my recipe tips and ideas at www.GlutenFreeHelp.info into your cooking routine. Let me know if you feel a difference. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Pinellas Park Public Library - Danny the Dragon was a resounding success!

I am over-joyed with the tremendous response that we received at the Pinellas Park library book reading of "Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy." More than 90 guests were in attendance (mostly children of course) and what an interactive group – we even did an arts and crafts activity and we'll be expanding this with a children's drawing contest very soon! Do you have a creative "future artist"? Be sure to visit www.DannyTheDragon.com and sign up for Danny's newsletter.

Your quality of life

We all tend to get involved in the day-to-day rigors of our lives and lose sight of the importance of the quality of our lifestyle. One month can fly by in a flash, unless you actually take a moment to stop and reflect on your goals, and the direction you're headed; take a moment to reflect on your health and your happiness; reflect on your relationships and adjust as needed; take a walk and appreciate what's around you. Keep refining your quality of life and don't lose sight of the importance! More tips at www.TinaTurbin.com.

The joy of spending time with family cannot be underestimated; how often do you incorporate this into your week?
