I also hosted James Burns as he toured the blogosphere. Although this book touches upon operating a business, it’s not solely for business owners.  Anyone who is interested in acquiring wealth will find information of interest.  Have you developed your vision goal for your future? This is something I found really fascinating about his book, along with other information Burns provides about How to Crack Your Wealth Code Using the Tools of Self-made Billionaires.

Click on the title above for guidelines for the drawing. Also, if you are a quilter, you might like to let us know in the comments below.  Share with us your projects. Then other caregivers can find a common bond.  Quilting and fabric art can be very relaxing in times of stress.  Sharing with others encourages us in our projects.

Here’s a picture of the church my four-year-old drew complete with stained glass windows and Baby Jesus labeled with RNA?! And for you Star Wars fans, he put in a gratuitous R2-D2 and C-3PO down at the bottom for no reason whatsoever except that he likes those droids.
