Building Better Belief Systems
July 24, 2012
Byron Katie asked herself a simple question as she lay in a half-way house, not sure if she would survive the next day.
"Is it true?"
It was the first time she actually challenged her own belief system, and what she found out was indeed much of what she had told herself was not true at all. She has since go on to become an international best-selling author and speaker who inspires thousands with her simple approach.
So much of what we tell ourselves is based on conditioning and filters we have placed over our eyes, shielded from the truth of ourselves and others. If we are able to build belief systems that disempower us, we are certainly capable of building truth-based ones that bring us more joy.
What good does it do the world to build broken systems that only serve to put ourselves down? What if Byron Katie, who continues to help the world, had not asked the question, is it true?
So much of our lives is ruled by our thinking. We say we don't have time, we're too busy, we'll do it tomorrow. Did you know that tomorrow is a myth? We only ever have today.
It is time for us to move beyond our ears and eyes to let our hearts live too.
I'm game. Are you?
Really Search Inside Yourself
July 2, 2012
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." ~Aristotle
A few weeks ago I read a book by Google's self-proclaimed Jolly Good Fellow, Chade-Meng Tan, aptly entitled Search Inside Yourself: The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness (and World Peace).
Before you groan, "Not another self-help book whose content I'll forget the minute I click off here…" hear me out. This book is based on an actual mindfulness training course given internally at Google. That the author has a quirky sense of humor makes it all the more enjoyable to read his work. Plus it has lots of pictures that made me laugh.
But on to mindfulness! Do you want to feel a natural high? Then read on.
The most memorable exercise for me was the Just Like Me/Loving Kindness Exercise adapted from Buddhist meditation practice. The objective is to increase your compassion and kindness, which thereby raises your own happiness level and, most likely, that of others too. It goes something like this:
Get into a comfortable position (I found sitting cross-legged to work well because lying down inevitably put me to sleep). Take two minutes to breathe deeply and quiet your mind.
Now visualize someone in your life. Say to yourself: "This person has a body just like me. This person has a mind just like me. This person has feelings, emotions and thoughts, just like me. This person has felt disappointment, fear, hurt, pain and confusion, just like me." You could go on for some time, saying various things you know you share with this person. Then you end it with "This person wishes to be happy, just like me."
The Loving Kindness part of the meditation involves wishing the person well. For instance, "I wish this person to be free from pain, to experience joy, to be extremely happy. Because this person is a human being, just like me."
End the session by resting your mind for one minute.
I have only done this exercise once, but I was ready to hug the world after I did it. The book is filled with powerful exercises like this one. And it does require that you search inside yourself for your own golden nugget. You know, that lovely jewel resting deep within that wants to shine.
My jewel is blue. What color is yours?

What would people say about you if you left the room? Are you living a life of true intention?
I know it's a heady question, but it's one worth asking. Luckily, Bryan Clay, Olympic hopeful for this summer's Olympics in London, started to ask himself that question before it was too late. In his new book, Redemption, Clay reveals his life story in great detail, such as how he had a very troubled childhood with parents who made their own share of mistakes. Throughout high school, and then later in college, he continued to ignore his highest athletic potential by drinking too much and engaging in dangerous behavior. It wasn't until he met the woman of his dreams that he started to see a future beyond his current one.
Love can do that to a person.
Even then, however, he nearly lost his girlfriend because it took him a long time to realize the impact his partying was having on his relationship. The moment he changed his way of thinking, however, everything changed. A religious man, he began to see that he could indeed worship God through the sport instead of seeing his athletics and his spiritual practice as two separate things. He moved away from believing sports were a way to glorify himself; instead, they were a way for him to glorify God. Magically, his extreme partying dropped off.
The Big Picture can do that to a person.
"Keeping my priorities in the right order had brought me there," he writes. He found Slow through God. Pretty darn cool.
So what do you think people would say about you if you left the room? Would they say you are kind, generous, emotionally available? Or would they consider you closed, disruptive, shut down and unreachable? As Maya Angelou says, people may not remember what you say, but they'll always remember how you've made them feel.
My guess is you can make someone feel really good today. Maybe in the form of a hug or a smile. There is redemption for us all, and it only takes one baby step toward your own truth. Don't be afraid of it because it is there to show you the way even when you are lost. Embrace that beacon of light for all it's worth. When you do, you will be set free.
Slow can do that to a person.
Shades of Gray
June 17, 2012
One of the greatest lessons I have learned in my exploration of our temporal relationship is that being on time is a relative thing. When we allow our lives to be dictated by hours, we automatically engage in clock combat. We establish, in a way, rigid, mechanistic thinking. Our world becomes black and white. We are either on time or we are not. And in a black and white world, there is no room for shades of gray.
My dear friend Arielle Ford taught me a new concept of time: that of divine timing. As we drove a book project to completion, deadlines and timelines somehow became my lifeline. I breathlessly engaged in clock combat to ensure I stayed on track. That is, until she uttered the simple phrase: "It will come in divine time." She never once pushed the creative process, but instead allowed herself to be enveloped in it. It was one of the most beautiful times of my professional life to be enshrouded with such love, trust and courage.
I am reminded of that trust as I think about how much we worry about being on time in our Western culture. Punctuality is a revered trait in Germany in particular. And I agree that it shows respect to be on time for events, appointments, etc. But some things cannot be pushed into a timeline. Nor can they be foreseen. Some experiences simply happen, such as a crazy GPS that leads you astray until you realize it might just have been your angels that averted disaster for you on the road.
Going slowly and absorbing the meaning behind the experience allow you to savor the beauty and flavor of life.
In April I had meticulously planned a conference trip to Berlin that included an early morning flight from Munich. Thinking that no one else would be up that early, I took the latest bus possible from remote parking to the airport itself. When I saw the long line at security, I could feel myself putting on my combat boots against time. In a very uncharacteristic move (those of you who know me – stop laughing!), I excused myself throughout the entire line to the front, explaining my gate was about to close. By some miracle, the security turned a blind eye to my four bags of liquid products and let me through. As I rushed to the gate, which had changed last-minute, I saw that my flight had been delayed by 45 minutes. I slipped off my invisible boots and apologized to time for my lack of trust. In the end, I made it to the conference, despite an hour's ride through Berlin, just in time.
When we trust in divine timing, life works smoothly. Even when we think we are going down the wrong road, we are always exactly where we need to be. When you tune into that inner knowing, that inner GPS, the mystery that is your life reveals itself. Are you listening?
To Bid the Norm Adieu
May 27, 2012
"Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly" ~ Mae West
It has been three years since The Power of Slow hit the stands. It has slowly (pun intended!) infiltrated numerous cultures: from India, to South Korea, to China, to even the lovely country of France, which, with its joie de vivre and 35 average vacation days, leaves me a little breathless. One would think a place with so much good wine would not have issues about stress. But in my travels, I have learned even in one of the most beautiful places in the world such as France, people feel the crush of modern life.
It's time to do things a little more slowly.
Slow resides within. It is a mindset, not a speed. It cannot be measured in units, but in the quality of your life. When we embrace time abundance, we no longer shoulder the weight of too much in too little. Instead, we reverse the relationship to have more resources than are needed. We then simply have more than enough.
An actor friend of mine cried into the phone that she had received an invitation to walk the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival alongside Nicole Kidman, but due to circumstances, was not able to make it in time to do so.
"So here I am on top of this villa, overlooking the Croisette at all these people…and the red carpet."
I had her repeat her words. Did she really hear them?
"You could be sitting in front of your television set doing the same," I smiled into the phone. She laughed. C'est vrai!
Life is abundant, if you see it that way.
A reader on my Psychology Today blog recently told me he is a European trapped in an American body. He wants four weeks off every year as most Europeans have (and live in a place where the word "vacation" is not substituted for words like "out of the office" and "on travel"), yet if he even gets one week between Christmas and New Year's, the work piles up to staggering heights.
Something is wrong with this picture. When you cannot extrapolate yourself from work long enough to catch your breath, the quality of it suffers. We need to bid the norm adieu.
Google has learned the truth of this, at least to some extent. In his widely publicized book Search Inside Yourself, Chief Relaxation Officer Chade-Meng Tan offers up ways to unleash your fullest potential. Google's Corporate culture supports the notion of workplace wellness. Whether it is truly put into practice in such a competitive industry is left up to interpretation. I'll be blogging about Chade-Meng's book soon. In the meantime, enjoy his 54-minute talk.
The Bittersweet Taste of Freedom
May 9, 2012
Big Mama busted out of her cage this morning. A svelt glossy grey rabbit the size of a shoebox tore around the neighbor's yard with impunity while we, Husband and I, stood in our pjs with utter helplessness. The rain pelted our faces and despite the alluring rabbit food bag that crackled in my arms, Big Mama was having none of it.
Ah! The sense of freedom beneath those paws as she clawed the neighbor's lawn! I began to admire her for her smarts as we shooed her back into the garage. She hid under our sports car whilst we closed the doors to catch our breath.
"Maybe she'll tire out." Husband said flatly as he shuffled back into the dry house.
Strengthened from our breakfast, we set back outside to corner Big Mama in the garage. She slipped our grasp, scampering out into the rain. After chasing her 360 around the house, I finally nabbed her near the garbage cans. Wild-eyed and ready to box me with all her might, Big Mama seemed to give a sigh of relief when she returned to the safety of her cage.
"Freedom's not all it's cracked up to be," I could almost hear her say. Sprawling out on her warm bedding, she immediately fell asleep to the licks of her grateful brother.
Jonathan Franzen knows this. He penned a gargantuan novel aptly called Freedom that takes us to Minnesota, New Jersey and even West Virginia. A family tale of triumph, defeat and deviance, Freedom teaches us readers that while we may get what we truly desire, it's not always what will make us happy.
Big Mama learned that lesson this morning. She taught me a great deal in her cheeky attempt at escape. Sometimes we need to break out of our cages to taste the other side of the grass. It is then that we realize our side of the fence is just fine too.
If you find yourself wanting to break free, do it so you know what it feels like. You may just find, however, that after all that effort, everything you were ever looking for has always been within your grasp.
How to Build Beautiful Boundaries
May 7, 2012
Say what?
You gotta be kidding me!?
Those are all ways of saying 'no'. They may not be eloquent choices, but they get the job done. If you have trouble being that direct (and most of us do), there are gentler versions of 'no' that can be equally effective without the collatoral damage to your relationships. At any rate, one can consider the word 'no' as a powerful way to say 'yes' to yourself.
Building boundaries that empower you while encouraging others to respect you is a none too easy task, especially for the people-pleasers among us. It has been proven, however, that always saying 'yes' to others can lead to conditions as severe as burnout and depression.
Cyndi Dale and Andrew Wald recently penned a book called Togetherness: Creating and Deepening Sustainable Love that shows readers how to set personal boundaries that will actually strengthen personal relationships. According to the authors, saying 'no' helps us to figure out who we are and who we want to be in our relationships. By setting boundaries, we keep our personal identities alive — and our personal relationships honest, balanced, and intact.
To directly quote Tina Turner: What does love have to do with it? In a word, everything.
Self-love is not narcissism. It's a life-sustaining force. The authors offer several ways to build beautiful boundaries to let love in ~both from others and from ourselves.
How you are going to say 'yes' to yourself today?
What Do Your Boundaries Say About You?
By Cyndi Dale and Andrew Wald
Adapted from Togetherness: Creating and Deepening Sustainable Love
In our lives — and in relationships — we create personal boundaries to define the space we call our own. We set boundaries and say "no" with our words, but even more so with our behavior and actions: we may tell white lies, come up with excuses, or throw ourselves into activities like work, working out, or volunteering — essentially creating boundaries by making ourselves unavailable.
Boundaries may sound negative, but in reality, they are very important and help to define our personal identities. For example, being the nurturer or a people-pleaser comes with boundaries that fit those roles. Being the boss or the guru comes with a different set of boundaries that keep those identities intact. In this sense, personal boundaries allow us to "locate" ourselves within relationships (or within the world) in a way that's familiar and safe. Our boundaries help us to honor the balance between taking care of ourselves, and taking care of others.
Here are four practices that will empower you to update your personal boundaries and take ownership of your life:
Honor yourself. What parts of your life are in need of care or attention? On a daily basis, find simple ways to honor yourself. Choose three things you like doing every day, and then do them. You might pick something as simple as taking a walk, reading, or having lunch with family or friends. Whatever you choose, know that you deserve to have pleasure, so let pleasure be your guide.
Soothe yourself. Are you living the life you want to live? Or do you feel like you are stuck and don't have a choice in what's happening? In these moments, stop and recognize the feeling of "choicelessness," check your assumptions, and acknowledge the needs and desires you're afraid won't get met. With practice, you will find that cultivating the awareness of choice is profoundly soothing to your soul.
Embrace choice. Every time we make a decision, we have an opportunity to determine a course of action: "Do I stay here and face the situation, or do I run out the door?" By recognizing that you have control over your own reactions, you'll also have the opportunity to reinforce, change, or alter your boundaries.
Accept yourself and your life lessons. Shame and disappointment about our lives causes us to create false boundaries and interactions with the people we care about most. It's important to accept who you are and what has happened in your life. When faced with a challenge or disappointment, ask yourself: "What is my lesson here? How is this challenge a way for my soul to grow?" Use your answers to create boundaries that reflect acceptance of your true self.
Cyndi Dale is an internationally respected author, cross-cultural healer, and spiritual scholar with over 35,000 client sessions and trainings across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Andrew Wald, LCSW-C, is a psychotherapist with advanced certifications in Imago Relationship Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Together, they have co-authored the new book, Togetherness: Creating and Deepening Sustainable Love (June 2012).

Market Profile charts
new posts
understood. thanks
Leave a comment:
After some research, I've sorted out what the extra box is - a new feature was added to 220.127.116.11 for price profiles to display the open and close price as a 'O' and 'C' when using letters mode, in box mode, these just display as any other box. However, it seems as if the close 'C' is sometimes not in line with the rest of the profile:
I've brought this to the attention of the Development Team. The internal tracking number for this is 13381. I'll follow up when I have any relevant information.

Hi Patrick
ok. let me see what I can do to preserve the look. I'll come back to this for my update.
Re the unexpected boxes on the 5th Nov (and some other day). I use Tick resolution as I'm aware that minute creates an issue at the moment. I'm using 126.96.36.199 version.
Leave a comment:
I am getting my volume profiles in both data series in my screenshots in post #13 by using the exact settings you provided a screenshot for in post #1.
i'd like to preserve the format I have of the 30' boxes tight close to each others and the daily below
Since NinjaTrader build's its bars based on the closing time of the bar, this is why you're seeing the 1440m bar line up with the last bar of the session in the 30m data series. If you keep the 30m and 1440m data series in separate chart windows instead of in the same chart window/panel, the 1440m data series will likely act more closely to what you're expecting. its not possible to align the Volume Profile to print the information from right to left. It is only possible for the Volume Profile to print from left to right.
i'd like to understand why for the 5th of November I do get serveral boxes of different time frames in the same column (I use tick by tick) as per my second screenshot here.
What version of NinjaTrader 8 are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.0.X.X)
You're saying that there are unexpected boxes when using 'resolution = tick', not 'resolution = minute'? There is a known issue (13276) in which 'resolution = minute' may create an unexpected box which will be resolved in an upcoming version of NinjaTrader.

Hey Patrick,
as per your chart...nornally the daily profile is built at the beginning of the session and slowly built from there or built at the right side of the chart but facing backwards. not sure how you get to your. but really I would just like to have something like mine but correct given the problem with RTH trading hours
- i'd like to preserve the format I have of the 30' boxes tight close to each others and the daily below
- i'd like to understand why for the 5th of November I do get serveral boxes of different time frames in the same column (I use tick by tick) as per my second screenshot here.
Also attaching the 2 set ups I use
many thanks!
Leave a comment:
Here is the same chart as my example in post #11 but split into two separate panels instead of overlayed in one panel - there is one 1440m RTH data series with your Volume Profile settings applied, and another 30m RTH data series with the same Volume Profile applied - screenshot. Both the post #11 screenshot and this screenshot have the 'Nymex Energy RTH' trading hours template applied, so I don't understand what you mean when you say "profile is built on the right (after market close) and facing the right". Can you elaborate?
Leave a comment:
on your not sure why the profile is built on the right (after market close) and facing the right. Basically I'd like to have the profile as we built before but also on the same pannel/chart I need to be able to see the boxes for each price printed on each 30' during RTH (as standard practice on Market profile analysis). I did get to something like that as my post above but I still find the wrong Profile charted since the last 30' goes on the following day Profile.
if you see the 2 attached screenshot you will see that on the 3rd profile I have the possibility to check the decompose the pattern of each 30'. In other software I would then be able develope a Composite profile of 1 or more days and picking the 30' of my choice. One solution in our case is to have at least the 30' boxes sovrapposed the daily profile and in this way I could do my calculation using Ctrl3. But I need to have first a correct profile charted. You helped me with the daily and now I need to have each 30' boxes on the same screen.
Many thanks
Leave a comment:
So if I understand correctly, it would be the same indicator but calculating on 30 minute bars instead of 1440 minute bars? Here is an example of what I think you want with the 30m and 1440m overlayed in the same chart panel.
Leave a comment:
on the same them...what should I do if I wanto have on the same chart the daily profile as described above but also to be able to separate each 30' session. I need that for 2 reasons:1. to be able to better define price action2. in case I need to draw a specific profile using CTLR+3 and need to be sure I'm picking the time frames of the daily sessions
Leave a comment:
perfect. it works ok!
Leave a comment:
fantastic! i'll do it in a short while an revert here if all solve. many thanks!!!
Leave a comment:
Here are the data series settings required.
The above settings produce this chart - a minute chart simulating a daily chart
When you add the Order Flow Volume Profile with the settings from your screenshot in your original post, you get this. Notice that there are no longer wicks extending beyond where the volume profile is being plotted.
Leave a comment:
could you pls send me a screen shot of your setting in order to achieve that? many thanks
Leave a comment:
or maybe given the fact that I'm now a bit confused. could you tell me exactly the set up to have the Market Profile (type: price) for the RTH sessions (for CL on the nymex it would be 9:00 till 14:30 EST)
Leave a comment:
Kinetick provides ETH daily data.
Let me try to explain another way:
Daily data cannot be manipulated via trading hours templates. Minute data can be manipulated via trading hours templates. If you want to restrict your data to RTH hours but plot a daily bar, you'll need to 'simulate' that bar with minute data. 1440 minutes = 24 hours = 1 day. A 1440 minute chart give you the ability to manipulate a daily bar built from minute data.

7 Steps to Selling Private Label Items on Amazon
Many sellers today are diversifying their catalogs to include private label items because the products provide them with the opportunity to drive incremental revenue, create a unique private label brand therefore allowing them to avoid direct competition, and have a stake in the race for private label market share — which has recently been priority for Amazon, given their private label line of more than 125 brands. We have compiled seven actionable steps to help ensure a sound private label process on Amazon at every stage, from sourcing to fulfillment to ensuring a positive post-sale customer experience.
Stay on top of the latest e-commerce and marketplace trends.
1. Find the Right Manufacturer.
Although cost will be a significant factor in determining your supplier, it can not be the sole variable. You should take labor and material costs, as well as currency appreciation if sourcing from overseas, into consideration when weighing your options. Additionally, isolate your search to only the suppliers that are experienced with products similar to the ones you want to produce. Speak with them on the phone and do a site visit if possible.
Find out about their minimum order requirements and have them provide detailed examples of how they will scale as your business grows. Ensure that their products go through a quality assurance process and that the items have the level of quality that you are looking for. Make sure that the supplier has experience exporting to your market of choice. For example, if you are selling on amazon.com, find a supplier with experience exporting to the United States.
2. Take the Proper Steps to Ensure Brand Protection.
Register your brand with a formal trademark. Without trademark registration, another brand can claim your name and you will no longer be able to sell your product. Do your research to ensure that you are not unintentionally copying another company's concept. If your trademark is available for use, you can file your application. Registering a trademark for your private label brand not only protects your portfolio but also helps your case when applying to Amazon's Brand Registry. The registry gives registered brands greater influence and control over their brand's product listings on Amazon and helps protect your brand experience by proactively removing suspected infringing or inaccurate content.
3. Follow Amazon's Rules for Eligible Products.
Amazon has a comprehensive list of restricted products that are prohibited from being sold on the platform. Before listing any items online, review the Restricted Products Help pages for proactive best practices and actionable guidance by category. If you sell a product in violation of the law of any of Amazon's policies, the company has the right to take appropriate action, including but not limited to suspension or termination of selling privileges, having your inventory destroyed without reimbursement, termination of the business relationship, or permanent withholding of payments.
4. Find a Competitive Differentiator.
Although you can face indirect competition with private label items, a key advantage of selling private label products is that no one else is selling your exact same item — with your exact brand, packaging, or value-added benefits. You can differentiate your private label brand through a strong value proposition and brand story, which can both in turn serve to drive brand awareness and consumer engagement.
With regard to your unique product packaging, you can leverage colors, fonts, your logo, and various design elements to draw the attention of prospective buyers. Keep your target customer profile front of mind when creating the design that will pique their interest and be sure to experiment and test packaging and product prototypes with a group of prospective buyers to garner feedback.
5. Analyze Your Products Before Deciding on a Fulfillment Method.
Understand your items before deciding whether you will fulfill your Amazon orders via a merchant-fulfilled operation (FBM or SFP) or through FBA. Do your items require special handling or particular packaging? Are they easily prone to damage with extreme temperature fluctuations? Do you want the Amazon Prime badge on every item you sell? When deciding on a fulfillment method, it is critical to remember that Amazon businesses are not one-size-fits-all, so the method you choose needs to align with your business goals and needs.
A general rule of thumb is that FBA is optimal if your items have fast turnover, are small, lightweight, and expensive, you do not mind commingling, and you do not have the manpower or bandwidth to fulfill efficiently and would prefer that Amazon handle the customer service portion of each transaction. On the flip side, FBM may make more sense if your items are larger and heavier, if commingling would pose a risk for your items, and if you have storage locations and manpower to fulfill effectively while still providing a strong customer service experience. Whichever route you choose, consider the size of your operation and what kinds of items you sell.
6. Keep Track of Your Returns.
One of the most important aspects of launching a successful private label brand on Amazon is learning how to handle returns and adopting an efficient returns management strategy. Online retailers selling on the marketplace are expected to either match or exceed the standards of Amazon's return policy — which states that any item, regardless of its condition, use, or defects, may be returned within 30 days of the purchase date for a full refund.
If your returns strategy is not optimized, you run the risk of receiving negative feedback, dealing with A-Z Claims, or even getting your account suspended. An A-Z Guarantee Claim can be filed for any of the following reasons related to returns: the customer has returned an item but hasn't received the refund from you, you haven't accepted a return request according to Amazon's return policy, or the customer wants to return an international order and you have not provided a return address, prepaid label, or a full refund without the item being returned.
When one of your customers wants to return an item, you will be notified by email that a return request has been submitted. The email will include the customer's reason for the return and Amazon will include a note if the reason doesn't fall within the parameters of their return policy. Then, you will be able to decide which actions are best to take toward a resolution. Being proactive about returns and monitoring customer reviews will help strengthen your credibility as a private label seller, as well as protect your seller performance metrics.
7. Drive Positive Feedback.
One of the best ways to attract net new incremental customers is by ensuring that you have multiple positive reviews on your items. In many cases, customers are reluctant to purchase an item if it has very few reviews. Reviews should demonstrate that customers are familiar with your brand and have had a positive experience using your products.
Although Amazon does not allow sponsored or paid reviews, you can add notes to your packaging or website asking for feedback. You can also ask consumers to contact you first with any problems before leaving a negative review, so you have the opportunity to swiftly correct the situation. At the end of the day, positive reviews are critical to creating trust between you and the buyer, as well as increasing your overall sales.
Final Thoughts
In Feedvisor's The State of the Amazon Marketplace 2018 report, we surveyed more than 1,200 Amazon merchants about their challenges, ventures, and strategies to maximize profitability on the platform. Among those respondents, more than half (56%) reported revenue from private label brands. As evident through Amazon's commitment to their private label lines, there is definitely a newfound attention on these types of products from both a buying and selling perspective.
These items have the ability to provide high profit margins and brand growth for private label sellers. Be sure that you are taking the proper steps to increase your discoverability and stand out in Amazon search, such as by advertising, as well as to protect your brand equity on an ongoing basis.

"Independent Bookstores are Dying"
"Indie Bookstores are Too Small to Make an Impact on my Sales"
"Indie Bookstores are Harder to Work With Than the Big Chains"
And No.
Some Stats on Independent Bookstores
As you can see from US Census Data, the number of independent bookstores is increasing every year. There were only 1651 indie bookstore locations in 2009 and today there are over 2300. We are on track to have over 2800 independent bookstores in the US by 2020.
Unlike the larger chains, independent bookstores do not have to nor do they WANT to compete with Amazon. They are opening all over the US as community centers and focusing on what is good for their neighborhoods. In the chains, the focus is on what is good for the shareholders and sales and inventory decisions are based on the corporate goals. This big difference has allowed small, independent bookstores to survive the economic downturn, Amazon, and a fickle shopping public. They are not only surviving, they are thriving. Back in 2009, there were only 1651 independent bookstores in the US. Now there are over 2300. (https://www.statista.com/statistics/282808/number-of-independent-bookstores-in-the-us/)
According to the American Booksellers Association (as reported in Publishing Perspectives) for independent bookstores that are members of ABA, 2015 sales were up 10% over 2014. Compare that to the overall growth of the book industry in 2015 that was down .6%. (http://www.bookbusinessmag.com/article/2015-u-s-book-publishing-revenue-flat-print-sales-rise-ebook-decline/) As the 2016 statistics come in, we are seeing similar numbers which we will report as they are released.
Independent Bookstores as Matchmakers
Independent bookstores are doing more than growing their bottom line. The impact and effects that a good Independent bookstore can make on an author's sales are enormous. "Handselling", the time-honored tradition of booksellers recommending and promoting a book they love, has helped launch a great many bestsellers over the years. Booksellers LOVE to match readers with books. They live to recommend authors that will delight their customers. According to a BookWeb article published by the American Booksellers Association, the owner of Chester County Books personally sold almost 4500 copies of Hostile Witness at his central PA store. One store!
One in a Million
Staff picks, community events, recommendations, displays, local bestseller lists. All of these are easier to get into in an independent bookstore than a chain. Now, keep in mind, the criteria for what makes a successful book is the SAME no matter where you are. You need a great editor, cover, designer, strong marketing, time, money and (above all) terrific writing. But once you have THOSE things, independent bookstores can help you rise above the HUGE group of books that ALSO have all of those things. (Yup, you are one in a million I am afraid, and not in a good way.
Chain, Chain, Chain
So, while we all want to be on the shelves of Barnes & Noble and Walmart, the chances of getting there right out of the gate are small. We have to earn our way onto those shelves. Independent bookstores are often willing to work with small presses and independent authors in a way that the larger chains cannot because of organizational and operational restrictions. As long as your book is returnable from a wholesaler, you can (and should) reach out to independent bookstores and ask them to consider stocking your book.
Get Creative
Do you have a fun "top 10" list you wrote? Offer it for their newsletter or website. Or an idea for a Skype workshop or reading circle? Suggest it to the buyer. Does the store have a best-seller list? Make sure you drive shoppers to the store instead of Amazon and see if you can become an "Ohio Bestseller."
These practices do not take any more time that they would if you were approaching your local B&N and the results are often FAR more impressive and successful.
I love the chains, I do. I want you in BooksAMillion and every Target in the USA, but I don't want you to forget how important independent bookstores are when you are creating your sales plan. Independents have always had a role to play in the book industry and from where we stand today—it looks like that role is growing and expanding in ways we never imagined. Don't write them off. They need you and you need them. It's a match made in heaven!

Here's a little something I put together this afternoon. It coincides with an old world dough recipe I made a couple of days ago–basically taking my favorite pizza dough recipe and freezing it for a couple of days; then thawing it out for a few hours before use.
Category Archive: Entrees
I remember the first time I dabbled with phyllo dough I had no idea what I was doing. My cousin gave me one of those mini pie makers for Christmas a couple of years back and I was eager to get started. So naturally at the market, I grabbed what I thought to be an 'easy' and fun way to try out my new pie maker– phyllo dough. Following the instructions on the box, as well as, the pie maker's how-to, I was off to a good start!
There's been a request for pizza lately from our little guy…so I thought I make his favorite, which is pepperoni pizza…BUT double decker style!
Improvise, improvise, improvise…I'm big on this when it comes to recipes. Most times, whilst sitting in my little corner kitchen desk, I've already figured out what I am going to cook for tomorrow's dinner whilst, in my head, prepping the ingredients for tonight's family meal! There are thousands, upon thousands of recipes on-line where I gather my ideas from. Other times, I just turn around to grab one of my cookbooks. What I love to do, however, is improvise…and this is what I have done with this recipe.
Yesterday we had rain…finally. True, it's not the most pleasant…but hey, free water is ALWAYS good. So it was a cozy kind of feeling for me, which personally meant, run to the grocery store to see what I can cook up for the day!
A few blogs ago I made some skinless longganisa using lean ground pork. Although all the flavors of what longganisa should look and taste like was accounted for, they were a bit on the dry side due to the lack of porky fat. So tonight, I decided to revisit this recipe and use bacon as the 'skin' to make up for the lack thereof in fat content. Which, by the way, was an idea that our little guy suggested I should do.
So here we go…kicking it up a notch with hickory smoked bacon!
Just a quick recipe share of my favorite way to cook fish! Bon Appétit…
A collaboration with my hubby, as he prepped the lamb for me, whilst I whisked away at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen. We initially discovered 'Beef Wellington' from Gordon Ramsay's infamous television show Hell's Kitchen. Throughout the years of watching this show and seeing hundreds of Beef Wellington made by the contestants during the dinner service, I made a self-promise that I would SOMEDAY make this dish.
A small, four-plate setting on our dining room table alongside a menagerie of sliced cherry tomatoes, red pearl onions, crushed garlic, atop with a drizzle of soy sauce. We can't forget the generous portion of steam white rice, of course. This was my childhood recollection of longganisa back home in the Philippines at the age of 7. It was all I needed to make for a humble meal spent with my family– mom, dad and my lola (grandmother in Tagalog). I recall accompanying my lola to pick out a bundle of fresh longganisa hanging in abundance on sharp hooks along the beams of the roof inside the marketplace. It was something I always looked forward to…
Ever wonder what to do with the abundance of rosemary bushes growing in your front and/or backyard? Well, wonder no more!
I love eating lasagna, as much as I love cooking it…BUT I don't make it often. The last time I cooked lasagna I was still dating my husband! We've e been married 13 years to date–so that was a while ago. Today, however, I was on a mission to do one my favorite things, surf the web for a beyond-the-ordinary lasagna recipe.
A few weeks ago what we thought to be a really tall, non-fragrant, honeysuckle tree turned out to be pomegranates! I was elated! Today I was all over the internet in search of a recipe for pomegranates; at the same token, I had a craving for a Moroccan style cuisine. So putting two and two together, I came up with a great dinner plan for the family.
I'm always looking for something different to make with chicken; and also felt like having a cozy, comfort meal with my fam. On top of this I was craving for some Filipino food.
I know that chicken caldereta (kalderetang manok, in Tagalog) has been done before, so nothing new here, but, alas, if you know me well, I'm always experimenting with ingredients from the fridge and seasonings from the pantry; thus wanted to share my version with you…
For lunch today I made two simple dishes…nachos for hubby, our little guy, and myself, as well as, a baked farm-raised trout for my mom. I made both in less than an hour. They are light to the tummy and easy on the budget with usage of items you probably already have in your fridge and/or pantry.
I've been given an opportunity to test run a recipe that will be included in an app for iPad–they may even include my pictures (if selected) to be featured along with the recipe. Meanwhile, when I read the recipe in its entirety, I was excited to see that part of the recipe called for spatchcock chicken. The recipe stated that spatchcock chicken is a process that you can ask a butcher to do, but, I thought, what an opportunity to challenge myself, not only in test running the recipe, but achieving one of many techniques I have been wanting to try for quite some time now.

This week:
Im not exactly, like, happy with how much I think about Taylor Swift. I dont love that about myself. About me. I mean ME!.
Sometimes I think this woman is a polarizing genius whose impact on our entire generation were not even close to understanding yet. Other times, shes the human personification of the mouthfeel of a paper straw.
Anyway, Swift sat down for a lengthy Vogue cover storyand, genuinely, bless her for doing thatabout sexism, the medias scrutiny of her (wow, drag me, Taylor) and politics. So here we are again.
There was a lot of ink spilled during the 2016 election on Taylor Swifts deafening silence. It was considered a crisis for the country, particularly women, and as such those with massive public platforms abandoned whatever Shut Up and Sing qualms they may have had to talk about the severity of the issues and throw their support to Hillary Clinton while condemning, unequivocally, Donald Trump.
Many people grew aggravated that Swift, with her massive fan base of younger people of voting age across many swing states, never spoke upsomething that seemed at odds with her consistent outspokenness on female solidarity and the social politics of shaming. Some suspected she didnt want to alienate fans who were Trump supporters. Others speculated she may have been one herself.
Shes since started discussing politics, but not until well after Trump won the election. Rehashing all of this is not the point, and I already regret the cyber assault Im setting myself up for from Swifts fans just for recapping it. (Even 32-year-old men collapse at the cruelty of teen mean girls.) The point is that Swift finally explained why she didnt speak out against Trump in 2016 in a cover story interview with Vogue.
Here it is without commentary. I think its pretty interesting, though it will surely dissatisfy many. Take it for what you will:
I recently spent what I estimate to be an entire lunar cycle and minor evolutionary stage of my lifein actuality, 10-ish daysat whats called the Television Critics Association press tour, where networks come in and pitch their most exciting new shows to TV journalists and critics. Things Im most excited about and you should look out for this fall: Showtimes On Becoming a God in Central Florida and Back to Life, Amazons Modern Love, Hulus Dollface, and CBS/CBS All Access The Unicorn and Women Who Kill.
In any case, the best way to describe the tour is a thrilling slog, which ended for me triumphantly presenting a TCA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Sketch/Variety Show to John Oliver. He was not there. Phoebe Waller-Bridge was, however, and sat right next to me, so I got to watch her watch critics tell her why her show is so good, and she was so thrilled and touched and hung on every word in a way that seemed like a very special experience.
Afterwards, I took three quick days off, which apparently meant missing about 40 news cycles and 400 TV premieres and screeners. (That means no thoughts on Succession, GLOW, and BH90210 this week.) But after my three days hanging out with a bunch of feral hogs at Equinox, I was excited to fly back to New York. I was not excited for my three-and-a-half hours of layovers, but it turns out one unexpected perk of spending 95 minutes just sitting on the tarmac is that you have a lot of time to watch in-flight TV. During that time, I disco vered a new show. Its called Im Sorry. Its so good!
If the point of this newsletter is to recommend very good things, then I do not feel bad recommending Im Sorry to you now, even though it is not new and, in fact, has aired two full seasons, the last episode of which was in March. Upon Googling, though, I learned that there will be a season 3 next year! I dont know when anyone has time to catch up on shows they missed. But should you know the whereabouts of any wormholes, man, is Im Sorry the show for you.
Its created by and starring Andrea Savage, who you might know for playing President Laura Montez in Veep. In the semi-autobiographical comedy, she plays a comedy writer juggling her career with her marriage and the unexpected hilarity and hiccups of raising a young daughter. It is ribald and giddy with filthy humor, but theres a sunniness to it that is as unexpected as it is addicting. There are so many butt sex jokes, yet the show seems just so… nice.
Im Sorry reminds me in some ways of Better Things and in other ways of Playing Housetwo shows that make my heart burst just from typing their titlesbut, thanks to Savages unique sense of humor, is entirely its own. It airs on TruTV, a channel that I for sure have on my cable package and maybe you do, too? Or maybe youve cut the cord. I dont know your life.
If you were feeling a little light-headed and struggling for oxygen at around 7:15 p.m. ET on Wednesday, it is because of the largest collective Gay Gasp recorded in recent history. It was announced then that the new season of FXs American Crime Story series from Ryan Murphy would be titled Impeachment and tackle the Monica Lewinsky saga.
Sarah Paulson will play Linda Tripp (!), Broadway Tony-winner Analeigh Ashford will play Paula Jones (!!), and breakout star of the year, Booksmarts Beanie Feldstein will play Lewinsky (!!!). When God grants you the prayers you didnt even know to make.
Its a juicy story (groundbreaking assessment, I know) right in line with the cultural dissection Murphy applied to two previous American Crime Story subjectsthe case of O.J. Simpson and the assassination of Gianni Versacewith illuminating insight and respect. Murphy had originally planned a take on the Lewinsky scandal in 2017, but scrapped it after meeting Lewinsky and realizing that nobody should be telling her story but her. To that end, Lewinsky is on board with Impeachment as a producer.
The series is set to premiere in September 2020, in the heat of the presidential election. That programming decision is, frankly, exhausting. Not because I think it isnt shrewdoh, but it isor because I think an FX miniseries revisiting the Lewinsky circus will have any effect on the electionit wont. Its because of the echo chamber of pundits who will bellow that it will, and, in fact, are already doing as much.
This series is thrilling, everyone is exasperating, and that is all.
Barbra Streisand brought out Ariana Grande for a surprise duet of her 1979 bop with Donna Summer, No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) during a concert in Chicago this week, if you want to learn more about gay gasps. (Watch some of it here.)
Grande said she left the stage sobbing afterwards, which, I mean, its literally in the song title, Ari.
Hang them in the Louvre! Put them in the Smithsonian! Give them a Pulitzer! Make them a billboard in Times Square! Teach me how to make them the background of my phone! Please, I dont know how!
See more in her new Vanity Fair Emmys cover story.
What to watch this week:
Succession: The show that everyone said got good at episode six is now the show that everyone is saying is good from the start.
GLOW: Who doesnt love GLOW? (Me, actually. Ive always been lukewarm on it, but the new season is getting great reviews.)
One Child Nation: A painful, exquisitely done documentary on Chinas one-child policy.
What to skip this week:
The Kitchen: A revenge caper starring Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss flopping like this should be a felony offense.
The Art of Racing in the Rain: Still gonna watch this one on a plane and cry, though.

Dry Indigo dyes denim with foam®
There are many facets to sustainability in the textile industry. The denim industry has now come up with an idea that saves water.
Levi Strauss is said to have revolutionised workwear. The father of the Levis brand endorsed the idea of tailor Jacob Davis: splicing the edges of work pants' pockets and reinforcing the attached fly with the rivets of a horse's harness. On 20 May 1873 Strauss filed a patent for this idea and blue jeans were born. These reinforced pants sold like hot cakes and rose to worldwide fame. Today, denim pants are as popular as ever as workwear.
The production of the blue fabric for these pants, however, consumes plenty of water. For one pair of jeans weighing 800 grams this adds up to some 8,000 litres. The lion's share is accounted for the irrigation of the cotton fields, only some 15% for by production proper.
Wrangler is the first denim brand to employ a water-saving foam-based dyeing process to optimise the eco-balance and become more sustainable.
Together with the Walmart Foundation the brand supported the Texas Tech University in the development of a new water-saving manufacturing solution. The denim brand then campaigned for this process with its fabric producers. Tejidos Royo, a Spanish textile producer and denim specialist with sustainable roots, was the first production site to introduce foam-based dyeing under the name "Dry Indigo®" in 2018.
The new certified dyeing technique requires no water. This means there is no waste water either. Furthermore, the energy consumption and waste produced by this dyeing process are reduced by 60% versus conventional dyeing methods, by Wrangler accounts.
At Wrangler the first collection is now available under the brand name Indigood™ which is marketed as the "most sustainable denim ever".

Sound of the Suburb
Recent review: Having been an avid fan of rock n'roll music for three decades, it was essential that I found a really good band for our wedding. I reviewed over 100 bands over a period of several months and Sound of the Suburb were by far the best. These gentlemen love what they do and they do what they love exceedingly well. They are some of the most pleasant, accommodating, flexible and decent people I have dealt with. When it comes to detail, I make Meryl Streep in The Devil wears Prada look tame. Instead of being put off or irritated, these men relished the challenge of coming up with a play list that would meet my expectations and they did- in spades. Another major benefit is that as they have regular gigs, we were able to see them in action, which was very reassuring compared to trying to make up your mind based on a couple of wobbly videos, which our internet driven, gig economy world attempts to force us to do. The band members have a great deal of experience of such events and so was able to advise on what does and does not work. They visited the venue so we were confident we would not have any logistical issues. They have very good equipment (for which they may need set up time) and provided wireless mikes which were useful for the speeches & our open mike session and also took care of the recorded music between their sets. Most of all, they generate an energy and fun that was infectious. We had everyone from under 9 to over 90 years old on the dance floor, which revealed dancing talents of some guests even their spouses did not know they possessed. Our family and friends had a ball thanks to their efforts, which they do not spare any of to make the occasion memorable. I am, by my own admission, a difficult person to please as I demand quality and thoroughness. This band not just met but exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them unreservedly. Please treat them with the respect such good musicians deserve and they will go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful event.
