Summer is a bountiful time of year. Whether you are growing your own or buying from a grower or farmer's market, you may experience 'produce glut'. What I mean by that is you have more fresh produce on hand that what you can reasonably use before said produce begins to spoil. But before you worry about tossing out your produce, do what our great grandparents did, preserve them through fermentation. (Any of you remember those 20-gallon crocks of pickles stored away in a cool basement or cellar)? Lacto-fermentation can be applied to just about every vegetables out there which means you can preserve your bounty to enjoy later. And in this case; specifically, I present to you, Lacto-fermented spicy beets.
Lacto-fermentation is one of the oldest forms of food preservation. It allowed our ancestors to preserve food long before the days of refrigeration. And for many people, Lacto-fermented foods is what fed them through the long winter months.
Benefits of Lacto-Fermentation
- does not require freezing or refrigeration
- provides a great source of probiotics
- increases the digestibility of the preserved food
- increase certain nutrients in the food (depends on the food that is preserved)
- prevents surplus produce from going to waste
- preserves more nutritional content of foods compared to traditional canning methods such as pressure canning or water bath canning
- inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria
- does not require an expert level of preserving … a beginner can do Lacto-fermentation
What is Lacto-Fermentation?
While certain yeasts are used to create fermented foods and/or beverages (beer anyone)?, Lacto-fermented foods are created from bacteria. Now before you worry about bacteria as being a bad thing, in this case, it is good. Very good. The main bacteria species responsible for Lacto-fermentation is Lactobacillus. This bacteria is capable of converting sugars into lactic acid. (One word of advice: just because it is Lacto-fermentation does not mean that dairy products are used in this form of fermentation).
In a nutshell, Lacto-fermentation is the process of preserving food (such as raw produce) through the growth of beneficial microorganisms in an aerobic environment, resulting in tasty and easy to digest food. Foods and beverages that are Lacto-fermented will have a slightly tangy flavor.
In the recipe that follows, not only will it be tangy, but the Lacto-fermented spicy beets will have a kick of heat to them.
Types of Lacto-Fermented Food
- Kimchi
- Yogurt
- Sauerkraut
- Kombucha
- Kvass
- Kefir
- Pickled vegetables including but not limited to: cucumbers, cabbage, onions, garlic, radishes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and grape leaves
- Naturally fermented sauces (nonpasteurized)
Items Needed for Lacto-Fermentation
- Food grade container (such as crock or glass jar) large enough to hold the produce as it ferments)
- Fermentation weights (to keep food submerged in the liquid as it ferments)
- Covering for the container (such as cheesecloth or a lid with an airlock, what is important is to keep things like insects out of the fermentation containers)
- Cutting board
- Bowl to combine ingredients
- Knife, mandolin, or shredder (if you want small pieces of fermented food)
- Salt (non-iodized)
- Non-fluoridated water
- Herbs and/or spices of your choice
- Produce to ferment
Once you have assembled all of the items needed for fermentation, please sterilize the fermentation container, weights, and lid with airlock (if using).
In order to help ensure success, use recipes from trusted sources and/or books. After you gain confidence in your skills, the process, and what lacto-fermentation looks like, you can then begin to experiment with recipes such as changing out spices for something different or adding other types of produce to the mix.
Now let's get to the recipe!
Recipe for Lacto-Fermented Spicy Beets
- 4 medium beets
- 1/2 large onion
- 1 large jalapeno
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2″ fresh ginger
- 3 sticks of cinnamon (broken in half)
- 1 Tsp. cloves
- 2 Tsp. fennel seeds
- 4 C. water
- 1 Tbs. + 1 Tsp. salt
Wash and peel the beets. Cut off the top and root end. Uniformly slice on a mandolin directly into a bowl. Or use a knife. Cut onion into uniform slices using a mandolin (or knife). Wash and slice the jalapeno. (If you wish to have less heat, remove as many seeds as possible).
Peel the papery skin from the garlic. Cut into fine slices.
Combine water and salt into a small bowl. Stir to dissolve the salt.
Place all vegetable slices into the jar (or small crock). Add spices. Pour in brine (water/salt mixture). If brine does not cover the vegetables, create more brine at a ratio of 1 teaspoon per 8oz. cup of water.
Place weight on vegetables to keep them submerged. Top jar with lid and airlock. Leave the container out on a countertop or table so you check the fermentation process. Allow to sit for at least four days at room temperature.
Taste your ferment on day five. Not tangy enough? Allow to ferment at room temperature for another day or two. After that, replace the lid with airlock with a solid lid and set the container in a refrigerator.
Lacto-Fermented Spicy Beets
In a world where sauerkraut is king of the lacto-fermented foods, it is great to have variety. These lacto-fermented spicy beets truly offer up unique, but tasty flavor. They pair well on the side of a green salad or snack tray next to a cheese platter. But regardless of what you serve them with, won't you add this recipe to your lacto-fermented list?

A few weeks ago, I was thinking about the US education format regarding grade levels—you know, "K–12" and all that—and my thoughts had turned to the Metric System. I got to thinking: just as a hypothetical reality, how might one convert the current system to an explicitly decimalised one? Not necessarily a Metric one, mind you, but one at least that's decimal.
Note that, in this post, I'm only referring to compulsory education, hence the
"K–12" mention; therefore, I'm not including preschool, college, or any other stage outside the typical American framework of (K)+(Primary)+(Secondary).
The first step, of course, would be to decide, "How am I going to divide the grades?" There are other, more complex, and probably more reliable ways to do this, but we're not going to address them here. It would require much more research than is feasible for me at the moment, so we'll just have to settle for the straightforward approach this time.
The "straightforward approach" here would be to take 13 and divide it by 10, in which case each grade in this new decimalised format would be equivalent to a progression of 1.3 grades in the original format. (The number of grades in the old system is 13 because I'm counting Grades 1–12 plus the preceding Kindergarten.)
A comparative scale might look something like this:
Or, something like this:

Brexit: the liar Fox and friends - The single most dominant feature of the Brexit "debate" is the misplaced belief that a "no deal" scenario is a tenable option for the UK. Any responsible...
4 hours ago
A critical look at UKIP through the eyes of several long-standing members. Exposing Farage/EUKIP lies and corruption since 2008
astonishingly you sound surprised!
The lack of integrity is one of the main reasons that the party gets so little good publicity - the credibility has been immensly damaged by the dishonesty of Mark Croucher over many years.
Farage seems to have him in thrall and Croucher would seem to be willing to lie to order!
Greg L-W.
I was being sarcastic.
Croucher is just another example of the disgusting filth that have been promoted under Farage.

Skip to comments.Health freedom alert: Congressman Waxman sneaks anti-vitamin amendment into Wall Street reform bill
Posted on 05/01/2010 2:31:11 PM PDT by goodnesswins
(NaturalNews) Of all the sneaky tactics practiced in Washington D.C., this recent action by Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) is one of the most insidious: While no one was looking, he injected amendment language into the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 4173) that would expand the powers of the FTC (not the FDA, but the FTC) to terrorize nutritional supplement companies by greatly expanding the power of the FTC to make its own laws that target dietary supplement companies.
This is a little-known secret about the FTC and the nutritional supplements business: The FTC routinely targets nutritional supplement companies that are merely telling the truth about their products. Some companies are threatened by merely linking to published scientific studies about their products.
For example, here's an important article that describes how to FDA criminally extorts money out of supplement companies: http://www.naturalnews.com/024567_h...
The FTC does much the same thing. They target a particular company that's having success in the natural products marketplace, then they accuse that company of "inferring" that their products have some health benefit. From there, the FTC demands that the company engage in paying a massive fine to the FTC, which the FTC calls "consumer redress" even though none of the money actually goes to the consumers.
If you try to fight the FTC, they haul you into their own special "FTC courts" which are not public courts where you have the benefit of a jury, but rather they are courts where the judges are actually FTC employees and you have no rights. You are essentially guilty until proven innocent, and virtually no one has been found innocent by the FTC.
If the King says you're guilty, then you're guilty The FTC also forces you to sign a "consent decree" which involves you admitting to committing crimes that you have actually never committed. These crimes include the "criminal misrepresentation of a product" by, for example, explaining that walnuts help support healthy cholesterol levels or that cherries ease symptoms of inflammation.
Using these methods, the FTC has extorted tens of millions of dollars out of nutritional supplement companies. More importantly, it has terrorized the industry and put several companies out of business, denying the American public access to products that could improve their health and prevent disease.
Waxman wants the FTC to have even more power over your vitamins Now Congressman Henry Waxman wants to give the FTC even more powers by allowing the FTC to write its own laws without Congressional approval. This would allow a rogue agency to simply invent any new law it wants, such as requiring nutritional supplement companies to spend hundreds of millions of dollars "proving" the efficacy of a vitamin before they can sell it.
This will allow the FTC to utterly circumvent DSHEA -- the law passed in 1994 that provides basic protections to vitamin and supplement manufacturers. This will result in an FTC war on vitamins and supplements that would no doubt see this rogue agency attempting to destroy the entire industry and imprison the founders and executives of all the top supplement manufacturers.
This is how bad things have become in America today: The criminal CEOs of drug companies are allowed to commit felony crimes, engage in routine price fixing fraud and fix their research with fraudulent clinical trials, yet the FTC and FDA do nothing. But when an honest nutritional supplement company says something like, "Walnuts are good for your heart," they get threatened with imprisonment or have their entire life savings stolen away from them by the FTC through a series of "fines."
Your help is urgently needed to halt this madness Join NaturalNews.com and the Alliance for Natural Health to protest this deceptive action by Henry Waxman -- a lifelong opponent of natural medicine who is trying to covertly inject this expansion of FTC powers into the Finance Reform Bill.
Can't we just ban all representation from the left coast until they become solvent Americans?
Don't you mean "SOYLENT" Americans?
How do you spell "Noztralitis"?
Remember that JOHN McCAIN was an original sponsor of this "Vitamin-Grabbing" bill.....
Please Arizonans.....please vote that liberal McCain out in August
Being very ugly right out of the chute, evil leftist fanaticism has resulted in the appearance of this filthy little toad. Wouldn't you be angry if you looked like Henry Waxman?
Or will he work that one into the Climate Bill?
That would not be very palatable and is sure to cause severe nausea.
**"Anti-Electric Nosehair Trimmer Amendment" **
We Call it .. WEEDWACKER!!!
Our government has become nothing more than a criminal racket.
Can Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) be used against the Feds? It should since they get away with more crime than the "mafia" ever could/can/will do.
Our U.S. Constitution is being gutted not by changing the words but by making the words meaningless through the use of regulations and taxes.
This is what liberals have made of our government: a giant extortion ring.
Laws are passed, regulations are drafted and enforced...for the sole purpose of extorting money from American business.
Taxes are not enough. They have to steal from us, too.

Drawing With A Touch-Screen?
The second way, and it is usually what it is set for, is a type of tablet mode. In this mode the pen action is geographic. A spot on the tablet will always be the same spot on the screen. Some people have a hard time getting used to this and actually try to push the cursor into an area of the screen. But you don't have to do that, it jumps to the corresponding spot on the screen the moment it comes into contact with the tablet. This is the most natural drawing mode. You can also trace pictures this way. Just tape a picture down to the tablet surface and trace it and it will trace out on the screen. The two stay in perfect sync because the pen never changes its placing on the tablet. Most people get the hang of this pretty quickly. Some people like the pens so much that they stop using a mouse and use the pen instead.
Not only does the tablet know where the pen is and how close it is, it also knows which angle its pointed and how much angle and also how much pressure is being exerted on the tip. And when you flip it over and use the erasure it knows that too, and how hard your pressing the erasure. Its very precise.

The worlds brightest LCD - DS551LT7
Dynascan Technology Inc. has a reputation for making some the brightest sunlight readable LCDs in the world. With the recent release of the DS551LT7 they have taken the crown for the worlds brightest LCD. The new DS551LT7 packs a 7,000 nit brightness rating and a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1! In addition to this it has local LED dimming, blackening defect free technology, D65K colour calibration and a 9.9mm bezel.
- LED backlighting with local dimming. Providex very high contrast ratio's (1,000,000:1 dynamic). With direct local dimming, darker areas of an image receive less backlighting than lighter areas, as opposed to CCFL and edge-lit LED backlights which illuminate an entire screen at all times causing blacks and dark areas to appear washed out.
- Blackness Defect Free in direct sun. Most residential and commercial screens will blacken or result in isotropic failure when the LCD panel overheats. The DS551LT7 is equipped with a high temperature LCD panel capable of withstanding temperatures up to 110˚C (230°F) without blackening - crucial for direct sunlight applications.
- Uniform Colour Temperature and Quality. Ensuring the colour and brightness of each screen in a tiled matrix matches can be time consuming and requires additional calibration hardware. Each DynaScan DS551LT7 screen is individually colour calibrated to the D65 (6500K) CIE colour standard. Not only does this produce a true, natural white, the colour of all screens will be uniform.
- Narrow Bezel for Video wall applications. The DS551LT7 features a 9.9 mm narrow bezel display - perfect for video wall applications. With built-in video daisy chaining, a single 1080p source can be used on video walls up to 6x6 in size without the need for any additional external video wall controller. By combining a narrow bezel display with the benefits of a high brightness LED back light, these displays are ideal for indoor environments that receive a high amount of external daylight such as airports, shopping centres and storefront window displays.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an open session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly here on Sunday, chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaoddin Boroujerdi said, "
As the articles of association of the UN state that the United Nations' permanent headquarters is located in New York, transfer of the headquarters requires rectification of the said articles of association."
Considering that the UN is in charge of grave affairs, any transfer of the headquarters should be carried out through a consensus of the member states and rectification of the articles of association, he said.
The legislator said that the plan for the transfer of the UN permanent headquarters from the US should be viewed as a political position taken (by Iran) against the measures adopted by the White House leaders.
"The US has proved that it does not deserve to host the United Nations member states,"he underlined.

Cambridge Sound Management and Suzanna Hoppszallern, Senior Editor - Data and Research, Hospitals & Health Networks Magazine
Event Date: Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 2 pm Eastern (1 pm CT)
High noise levels in the hospital are a major concern. One of the most common patients' complaints is that they can't get a good night's sleep. Patients who cite noise levels in their room are less satisfied with their overall hospital experience, and that lowers overall patient satisfaction scores and reimbursement.
This webinar will cover how acoustics affect patient privacy and comfort in health care facilities, what sound masking is, how it can help improve patient satisfaction scores (HCAHPS score) and help health care facilities stay HIPAA compliant.
Join us for this webinar and learn how to:
- Lower the perceived noise level in hospitals
- Improve HCAHPS scores by improving "quiet at night" responses
- Stay HIPAA compliant by masking private conversations that may contain sensitive medical or personal information
- Create a patient-centered acoustic environment
- Use acoustic design techniques to increase privacy and reduce distractions
- Show best practices for installing sound masking for maximum effectiveness in areas such as patient wings and exam rooms.

text: Well i was over at her house yesturday & we watched a few movies on video(she does'nt have a dvd player)......though she had the sound on pretty low,that it was no fun watching the films,since we just chatted girlstuff anyway throughout. We watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 4,Halloween 4 & the first hour of Halloween 5. She was in the mood for horror + i have'nt seen either of those films in years except for Elm St 4 since i have the dvd set. Anyway.......widescreen was brought up a few times since i kept saying how i love dvd because of that & tryed telling her why it's good. She saying she hated it & loved the picture filling up the screen(has a 20-25in tv from what i could tell) 7 then said as long as it doesn't bother me,theni don't mind & was the same way on censorship as well. Mentioned how she loves the Friday the 13th series,expecially part 7...so i mention how heavily censored that was & she says. "Oh i never payed attention"!. Then on Halloween 4 the credits were in widescreen. So i mention see this is what 1:85 looks like. Theres not a huge differnece between this & full frame,but it's how it's really supposed to look. She nearly freaked out,saying "oh my god, i never noticed that before..is the whole movie like this? Dammit ect". When the credits where over the movie went to full frame & she calmed down. I said see the bars are going away,lol. then i mentinoed real widescreen asi call it(2:35) & thats what she REALLY hates. Though i could understand why,since she loves alot of movies from the 50's-60's & said how she tryed watching Oceans 11 & Maryln Monroe films ect in widescreen on AMC/TCM & the picture was soooooo small you could barely see anything. I said i understand that because they where shot in wider than widescreen,that the picture shows up to small on just about any screen. So i mentioned howi could never sit through the whole thing of My Fair Lady in widescreen since the picture was microscopic on my 25 in tv. So trying to reason with her i mention most movies even in 2:35(where black bars cover more of the screen) the movies look perfect and can be seen clearly on most tvs(25in ect) especially 70's-todays movies filmed in that ratio. + i said you gain more picture & are not loosing any unless watching it in full frame. So for an expample since she almost got me to watch the first two Halloweens on video in P&S......i have the dvds & OAR only for me on those and other 2:35 movies!! Which is why i asked could we watch 4 & 5 instead,since i have'nt seen them in years. I said "You know that scene in the school where Loomis is talking to that girl & then mentions about the state trooper who's there to escort him out of Haddonfield?" She said "yeah" "Well remember theres alot of noise in that scene & it sounds like there in a geneator room or something? She said "yeah, i always wondered what the hell that was & where they were,but they're just in the hallway" So i said "well i just got the dvd a couple months ago & saw it in WS for the first time & in that scene you can see a janitor in the background waxing the floor,thats where the noise is coming from!" She was suprised and like wow i never knew that. I gotta see this ect. Though still stuck to,well i like the whole screen being filled ect. So i said,well your'e loosing ALOT of picture then. So she said we should get together at my house sometime so i can show her what dvds like + show her a few examples of OAR. So i'm thinking of showing some clips form movies that have both versions on the disc like True Romance & Halloween 1,Blade Runner. Also the Die Hard demo,the Halloween 2 scene i mentinoed & maybe a couple others. The trick is to show movies that they like + have alot of visual info in the shots.Then say,see what your'e missing? Since she didn't really know anything about censorship as well. Maybe go rent Friday the 13th part 7 & tell her where all the cuts are-ie everything! Then also Jason Goes To Hell since its' the only Friday avalble in a R & Unrated version in the US. + She hasn't seen that one yet,so maybe we could watch the unrated version...then just check out a few scenes from the R version to show her how heavily censored it is?

Calculated risk-takers
Yes, as entrepreneurs, we're risk-takers. But, no, we're not large-scale gamblers.
Rather, we're calculated risk-takers – where heart, intuition, guts, logic, and some luck, all play a part.
"If you're not a risk taker, you should get the hell out of business." – Ray Kroc, Founder of McDonald's
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and Pixar Animation, speaking at Stanford University, knowing he had pancreatic cancer that eventually killed him, aged 56.

Wow… it's been awhile.
So for the past couple months I have been slowly adjusting to the new school year with new classes and new teachers. I feel like freshman year didn't do anything to prepare me for this year… The classes and its workload can be capable of keeping me up all night. Which is why blogging has been shoved to the back of my mind.
A couple notable things have happened to me this school year so far.
1) A new foreign exchange student from Germany came to our school, and is now one of my best friends:)
2) Homecoming week is next week (AHH!)
3) I decided to throw out the whole "song title" thing. It kind of limited my title choice…
4) Perfect grades are becoming harder and harder to earn
5) I started a video blog:D
I also have been recently obsessing over photography… My grandfather gave me a new camera (SCORE!!) and I have been finding every kind of excuse to whip it out and test my skills. Of course, I still have much to learn, but I hope it will get better in time:D
Hope everyone has had an amazing schoolyear/workyear so far!!

What's New at www.SprinkleGoodness.com -- a Paws-itive Place Where Our Pets Paw-Forward Good Photo Ideas.
New Photo Idea: Strawberry Heart Inspired by Fresh Grocery Store Strawberries
|Posted by Catherine and the Paws-itive Pets on September 11, 2015 at 2:05 AM
|comments (0)
Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
Fresh strawberries. They looked so nice in the grocery store that I wanted to take a photo of them.
So Matt, my husband, bought the strawberries for me. He likes supporting my creative ideas even though I was happy to buy the strawberries myself. But I am grateful of how he encourages my creativity.
One of the strawberries was shaped like a heart and I wanted to do something special with it.
Here is my best "heart-shape" photo result…
The image represents loving strawberries as a favourite fruit or loving the healthiness of strawberries.
My "Strawberry Heart" photo is now available as a stock photo here. I hope this image helps you with your projects – or inspires photo ideas for you.
If it does, please do share in the Comments section (below). Thanks!
U.S. Pet Travel Opportunity in the South Rim of the Grand Canyon

Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
It's Rocky, the Paws-itive Beagle, dreaming of U.S. travel. Where would you like to travel with your doggies in the United States? If I could travel to two places in the U.S. they would be…
• To see the statue of Balto, the heroic sled dog, in New York City's Central Park.
• To go to Philadelphia and jump up and down, with my mommy Catherine, beside The Rocky Statue. (Catherine is a fan of the Rocky film series starring Sylvester Stallone. Her favourite one though is the first Rocky movie.)
Okay, these are places Catherine would LOVE to go to with Matt, me, Daisey and our kitties. But I'm happy to go wherever Catherine goes.
Today however, Catherine discovered a third place to go in the U.S. from GoPetFriendly.com. It is a cool pet travel opportunity in the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. I'll let the doggy owners who travelled there with their dogs tell you all about it right here.

Pet Travel Lessons from Rocky's Pillow De-Fluffing Adventure
|Posted by Catherine and the Paws-itive Pets on August 4, 2015 at 1:00 AM
|comments (0)
Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
Feathers from a pillow … everywhere.
Rocky, our beagle sat looking at us. Happily … Innocently …
"You guys are back! Look what I did when you were gone!" were his thoughts (it seemed).
Or perhaps he was thinking, "Hey guys, Daisey and I wanted to go with you. And since you didn't take us, well, I de-fluffed this feather pillow!"
It was funny. But a bit uncomfortable, too.
You see, we weren't at our home. We were at Matt's parents' home. We had been there most of the week taking care of their farm, while they were on holiday.
It was their pillow. And, Matt's parents arrived (sooner than expected from their vacation) and saw what happened – the de-fluffed feather pillow -- before we got back from town.
We had only stepped out for a few hours or so.
We thought our beagles were fine. They were safe inside. They had the freedom to explore or get comfy on the sofa.
But this was where we learned our lesson. Here are three tips I learned from Rocky's pillow-de-fluffing adventure – to help you travel better with pets – so both you and your pets can have a fun adventure, together.

From My Copywriting Archives: Name Your Mission So You Can Claim It
|Posted by Catherine and the Paws-itive Pets on July 2, 2015 at 5:45 PM
|comments (0)
***Originally published in the online e-newsletter, THE COPY PROTÉGÉ, Issue #118***
***Updated July 28, 2016***
Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
This one is from my copywriting archives. My copywriting career was successfully started when I worked with self-help publisher, Nightingale-Conant. I am now a publisher myself. And I am grateful for all I learned while being a freelance copywriter on Nightingale-Conant's team. Here is what I wrote about naming your mission -- in hopes it can help you focus and achieve your goals as a writer, too...
One of the benefits of working with Nightingale-Conant is the access I get to all their products – the content is as life-changing for me as it is to my target prospect.
But in addition to products, they also offer some very helpful free services. One of them is their mission statement builder – and I highly recommend you give it a try.
Writing a mission statement is one of the most powerful ways I know to clarify your goals and find out what you truly hope to achieve.
Start by going to: http://hg.nightingale.com/personal-mission-statement/ This is where you'll find a free Mission Statement builder. It will take around five minutes to walk through the questions. But it's time well invested. Why? It helps you clarify so you can get focused and also attract what you want out of life!
Once you've developed your statement, use it! It should act as a guiding light to make better decisions. For example, my mission statement stated I wanted $5K projects. From here, I thought, "What kinds of projects can give me this kind of fee? And who do I 'really' want to write for?"
For me, I LOVE self-help books, courses and audio program learning. I love writing for publishers that produce this kind of content. So I've decided to make a really defined niche for myself within the self-improvement market.
My new business card states — "Publishers! Sell More Books, Courses or Audio Programs! I specialize in writing sales-boosting direct mail kits and web/email promotions for the self-improvement market".
That's really specific. It identifies the type of projects I'll accept (all of which suggest a high fee). Maybe more important, it helps me to filter out the projects I don't want. If a company who sells vitamins contacts me, I know right away, that's not my ideal client. I "have" to say no to them no matter how appealing they are. Why? Because they're not my target market.
Does this mean I have lost some work? Yes it does. A fundraising client was referred to me, and I had to refer them back to AWAI. But, it's okay. I said no "on purpose" because I'm on a mission!
Creating your own mission will move you closer to your goals very quickly. It eliminates all the second-guessing most new copywriters go through. And it gives you the kind of laser-like focus that leads to success.
P.S.: In case you're wondering -- yes, I did receive $5K for a project, and that client kept sending me work throughout the years. I even got an amazing retainer opportunity with this client that kept me busy with work each month throughout most of 2013. I asked to change it though. Why? My heart yearned for a change -- to publish my own ideas, and to take photos and publish ideas that help "sprinkle goodness" in our world. In addition to www.SprinkleGoodness.com, I also publish www.StockImageIdeas.com
Quick Copy Tip: Work Backwards When You're Overwhelmed
|Posted by Catherine and the Paws-itive Pets on July 2, 2015 at 5:40 PM
|comments (0)
***Originally published in the online e-newsletter, THE COPY PROTÉGÉ, Issue #6***
Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
This one is a copywriting tip from my archives. My career was started writing for the self-help market. If by chance you're interested in writing for the self-help market (which consists largely of books and audio programs), I hope this quick copy tip helps you.
Ready? Here it is...
When you work on a self-help product, you have access to words. Lots and lots of words. Some of your best selling ideas can be found in the first chapter or first session in an audio program. Why? The author is enticing and convincing the reader or listener to continue on with their product... which makes it perfect material for your copy.
The problem? You can spend an entire day or two uncovering those selling ideas and piecing it together in your copy. And, time is ticking.
You may feel like you're falling behind, even though you're not. But the overwhelming feeling kicks in. You see all those other chapters (2--10). It looks like a mountain of information... overwhelm gets the best of you and your mind goes blank.
When that happens, work backwards. Go to the very last chapter or audio session. It will still have good selling ideas you can use in your copy, but about 90% of may not be so useful. Good. You just pulled out 10% good material. You got through it pretty fast. You feel the momentum. You just got through an entire chapter!
Go to chapter 9... then chapter 8... chapter 7... chapter 6... and keep working your way up. Because these chapters don't contain a lot of words you can use in your copy (after all this is the meat of the product--the information people are buying), you can get through it pretty fast.
This information will be good for creating fascinations in your copy though, but basically, when you see that you've gone through chapters 2--10, you'll feel like you've accomplished so much. And, when you're back at chapter 1 again -- the real good stuff that you can use in your copy -- you'll feel ready to dig in and persevere.

Hurray for Canada: An Opportunity to Share What You Love Most about our Country this Canada Day
|Posted by Catherine and the Paws-itive Pets on July 1, 2015 at 12:15 AM

Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
Happy Canada Day!!
Will you be celebrating?
If you are, I hope you have safe and fun festivities.
I also wondered if you'd like to share what you love most about Canada.
Here are a few of my favourite things about being Canadian:
1) I often say "eh" at the end of my sentences. It's apparently a Canadian thing. (Though, not exclusive to Canadian speech, it's just common for Canadians to use it, especially me! I usually use "eh" at the end of my sentence to encourage a reply.)
2) I love the fact that we're neighbors to the U.S. I think the coolest spot in Ontario is the Niagara Falls region. I find it fascinating that I'm standing on Canadian ground yet just across the water is America's state of New York. How awesome!
3) I grew up in the Muskoka region in Ontario. Muskoka was first (first!!) on the list out of 10 Best Summer Trips in 2011 by National Geographic Traveler in 2011. Celebrities come to the Muskoka region, like Tom Hanks, Martin Short, and Kate Hudson. I've also seen pictures of actress, Tori Spelling, in our newspaper (back in the summer of 2013). I am fascinated by Hollywood, so knowing "famous people" visit the Muskoka region does intrigue me.
Please tell me what you think, too, eh!
What do you love best about Canada? You can share in the Comments section (below). Thanks so much!

Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
I'm so excited…
I turn 10 years old this summer and we're going to celebrate with a doggy birthday party!!
Have you ever thought of hosting a party for your doggy?
If you answered "Yes", you'll be excited to know that Catherine wrote an article for a pet website that explains how to plan a dog birthday party. You can see it here and get five doggy birthday tips and ideas – including a dessert idea that Catherine calls "Paw Print Cupcakes."
These were the things Catherine learned when she planned Rocky's 10th birthday party. (Rocky turns 13 this summer.) Now Catherine can use her own tips again to plan "my" celebration.
Hurray! I can't wait for my special day! I also hope Catherine's article on celebrating a dog's birthday helps you plan a special day for your doggy too.

***An article by Angel, our Paws-itive Kitty***
Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
One daffodil and two paper letter "M's" from a package of die-cut letters create the most unique photo idea for Mother's Day. (The package of letters was a treasure find from the Dollar Tree store. And the daffodil came from a lovely floral bouquet in Walmart for approximately $5.00.)
The result? The word "Mom," spelled with the daffodil in the middle to represent the letter "O" in "MoM". It's a photo idea Catherine created.
You can see it at the top of this blog entry.
I hope it inspires ideas for your own photography. It's also available as a stock image here if you'd like to use this photo for Mother's Day, your blog, designs ideas, and more.

This Pet Website Helps New Dog Owners Prepare for the Responsibilities of Having a Puppy
|Posted by Catherine and the Paws-itive Pets on April 7, 2015 at 1:05 PM

Dear Sprinkle Goodness Reader,
Sock-chasing. It's a "doggy sport" I started when I was a young beagle. I still like finding socks and running away with them. Then, Catherine or Matt will chase me, often giggling, as they try to get the socks back.
I keep Catherine and Matt on their toes – even as an older dog. I turn 13 this summer.
I've pulled apart and de-fluffed more pillows than I can count. I've even chewed apart some of Matt's van seat when we were on a family adventure together. I'll tell you more about that pet travel adventure soon.
But today, I tell you about all of this because when you bring a new dog into your life – he or she comes with surprises. I certainly did. But I'm a lucky beagle. I'm loved and I'm part of the family.
But not every dog is so fortunate. Did you know that many people get puppies without fully understanding how much work they really are? According to the pet website New Dog Owners, far too many people "get rid of dogs within weeks of bringing them into their home. This hurts everyone involved and can give that dog issues with getting close to people and even worse, ending up at the pound, just to be put down."
That's why New Dog Owners help people stating: "We are here to hopefully help you with the new member of your family and to cut down on how many dogs are given up on and passed from home to home."
New Dog Owners is a great site where first-time doggy owners can learn what to expect with puppies and how to teach them the rules of the home.
They help people prepare for the responsibilities of a new dog. They give tips to help people through the tough times, as well as tips for day-to-day living such as understanding dog health, which dog treats pet owners like the best, and more. They also try to answer questions that people have and solve common issues.
If you're a first-time dog owner – or are thinking of getting a puppy, I highly recommend you visit New Dog Owners by clicking here today.
