COMING May 11, 2009! Hello to friends, family, colleagues and strangers too! We owe you all UPDATES on lots of GREAT NEWS from Casa Eichler Rivas Rivers (Mim, Victor & Eli). Meanwhile, we wanted to let you know that in 8 DAYS, Mim's new book with Chris Gardner (Mim also co-wrote PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS with him) will hit the bookstands!!!! The 44 LIFE LESSONS that Chris shares in this book have truly been transformational in our lives and absolutely speak to the current times we live in. There is so much positive, inspirational, empowering energy in what he has to say about "how to turn the impossible into the possible" (as Sidney Poitier describes it!) and how to apply Gardner's very distinctive approach to any PURSUIT you may have, that we HOPE you'll be among the first to PRE-ORDER at all bookstores or on-line
We will also keep you updated about booksignings in your area OR how to get signed bookplates from Mim and Chris. (GREAT mother's day and father's day gifts, perfect for graduates, entrepreneurs, self-help, anyone wanting to shake up your status quo...)
By the way, in case you don't already have A MOTHER FOR ALL SEASONS that Mim co-authored with Debbie Phelps (mother of Michael Phelps), pick up a copy of that while you're buying START WHERE YOU ARE! Debbie's story is a wonderful reminder that life doesn't always turn out how we planned but can sometimes be even better!
Please let us know if you would prefer not to be on our mailing list. And in the meantime, we hope that you're all thriving in spite of challenges -as Chris Gardner would say (Lesson #19) "No Test, No Testimony"! And no matter what, ALWAYS PURSUE HAPPYNESS.
LOVE AND PEACE,
Victor, Mim, Eli (Josey
