Last week, I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Lynn Serafinn’s “Garden of the Soul” radio show along with another guest author.

We talked about the “Danny the Dragon” book series and my overall
intentions to inspire kindness and friendliness as well as healthy eating and dietary awareness in children; and we also delved into such important topics as the ways in which authors, parents and teachers can use literature to spark positive change in our children, and much, much more.

A highly insightful show that I hope you will listen in on.

This past Wednesday, I had the wonderful experience of being interviewed by Joanie Winberg on her radio show: “Single Again, Now What?”

We took an in-depth look at the subjects of children’s literature, the home environment and the roles of parenting, and went over proven solutions to turn the raising of our children, successfully in our favor.

I do hope that you will take 30 minutes to listen in on the show.

I trust that you will find the information to be enlightening and helpful to you. Visit the following link:

How I get things Done – Part 2

Tina Turbin — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:58:38 +0000

Let’s pick up where I left off about my schedule and how I get so much done. To be organized is a good thing and to have a schedule of some sort is always helpful. Sometimes SO MUCH is happening and I have so many deadlines that I think I am going around in little circles. Piles of papers, files, the computers and computer screens. I research and write about companies regarding kids and their health, gluten-free and family issues as this all also aligns with my personal goals to help improve the quality of life and health of others. I write for other publications and sites and it can get a bit overwhelming to keep up with all that is required and to also keep on top of the Danny the Dragon series, tours and my humanitarian interests. This is my what I do: keep a large calendar and I mean LARGE. Write out the appts. and deadlines. Or if you are an aspiring author, set goals. I have found that e-mails are the black hole. I use discipline and do not allow myself to get into them unless I have done what is really important. I also do not at all bother with answering all my e mails as I only reply to those that are important. Some can wait until the week-end or even the next month if you are truly too busy. I do not use my phone or computer for my MAIN calendar. It just does not work for me. To have one BIG calendar up for me to see at all times keeps me focused and organized. Good help is another factor, and I have the best team.

Heal the World!

Today was the sorry news that a true legend has died of a cardiac arrest. The man has left a legacy that will travel through time and not be forgotten. He will be known in the Ages as a Master in his own right. Reflect on all his talent and good. Let him rest in peace.
