WHAT'S IN THIS NEWSLETTER NEWS POISED Our Australia-based publisher of The Halo and the Noose is busy concluding a Chinese marketing and distribution deal through over 2500 book shops. A 400 million educated, middle class with disposable income augers well. Timing is the start of 2020 (Arrangements including translating takes time). An underlying assumption is that the market in China is not battered by trade and other wars in the coming year or so! Fingers and toes crossed!

QUOTEABLE QUOTES PURPOSE “A lifetime is so precious, and so brief, and can be used so beautifully” - Pema Chödrön DIVISIONS "And we talked about this crazy race business in Arkansas and everywhere, a problem that has been created by politicians" - Thomas Merton MEANING "Striving to find meaning in one’s life is the primary motivational force in man" - Viktor Frankl PURPOSE ... "to work together with God in the creation of our own life, our own identity, our own destiny" - Thomas Merton “We are more fulfilled when we are involved in something bigger than ourselves” - ― John Glenn SELF- KNOWING "Storytelling is a tool for knowing who we are and what we want” -Ursula K. Le Guin IMPORTANCE OF VIRTUE “…..virtue – without which there can be no happiness, because virtues are precisely the powers by which we come to acquire happiness” - Thomas Merton MEANING IN LIFE “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived” - Henry David Thoreau PET COMPANIONS "It is by muteness that a dog becomes for one so utterly beyond value; with him one is at peace, where words play no torturing tricks. Those are the moments that I think are precious to a dog-when, with his adoring soul coming through his eyes, he feels that you are really thinking of him" - John Galsworthy FORWARD THIS TO A FRIEND Help us to spread the story-in-business message and forward the email to a friend or colleague who you feel would be interested.
