When you get a kick up the bum from your Guardian Angel...

By the word of The Lord were the Heavens made

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

So God created man
in his own image,
in the image of God
created he him;
male and female created he them.

God created the heavens and the earth by the breath of His mouth and we were made in His image.

All of us live forever

Mimi believes in living forever, but even if you don’t believe in an afterlife, you will still leave an imprint and live forever in the hearts of your loved ones.

Religion does not have to come into it. As Tony Judt puts it so eloquently, we’re all responsible for the impact we have on the people around us.

The following is quoted from Tony Judt, historian, (02/91/1948-06/08/2010).

Just months before the historian Tony Judt died of ALS in 2010, he gave an interview to Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air. When she asked him about his spiritual beliefs, he replied as follows.

I don’t believe in an afterlife. I don’t believe in a single or multiple godhead. I respect people who do, but I don’t believe it myself. But there’s a big “but” which enters in here: I am much more conscious than I ever was, for obvious reasons, of what it will mean to people left behind once I’m dead.

It won’t mean anything for me, but it will mean a lot to them, and it’s important for them, by which I mean my children or my wife or my close friends, that some spirit of me is, in a positive way, present in their lives, in their heads, in their imaginings, and so on.

In one curious way I’ve come to believe in the afterlife as a place where I still have moral responsibilities, just as I do in this life, except that I can only exercise them before I get there. Once I get there, it’ll be too late.

So no god, no organized religion, but a developing sense that there’s something bigger than the world we live in, including after we die, and that we have responsibilities in that world.

Few, if any, of our Facebook or Twitter friends will be at our death bed, or care either way.

How will we be remembered by our close friends and family members? How did we or do we impact their lives on a daily basis?

What unique task were we given and how did we live up to this?

I highly recommend downloading the template included in the book and following the instructions for guaranteed results.

DESCRIPTION

Why on earth would anyone ever want to write their own eulogy-to-be?

Well, sometimes life just sucks, and then consequently your eulogy would suck too.

Double whammy.

The word eulogy-to-be is a concession we had to make because certain family members became quite traumatised when the subject of writing a eulogy popped up.

If a eulogy is a celebration of life then a eulogy-to-be is a write-up for the purpose of getting perspective on life so that we can adjust course if necessary, and celebrate life every single day, and not miss out on our own final party.

Mimi’s Guardian Angel did a fine job writing her eulogy-to-be and keep her on track. As in, “Hey there, is this how you would like to be remembered?”

Mimi’s Eulogy-to-be & Legacy is a sample of how to write your own eulogy and includes a template with directions for anyone at any stage in their life to create a life filled with joy.

Is it possible to design a path to Joy and heal your Life?

How do we get the life we want? Sometimes we need a wake-up call to understand that “Our life does not just ‘happen,’ but whether we know it or not, it is carefully designed by us as quoted from Dr Covey’s bestseller.

Your Story creates a legacy; make it the best it can be!

Yes, you can continue drifting through life and allow things to ‘happen to you.’ Or you can grab hold of it and ‘make it behave!’

There is something miraculous about sharing your dreams and aspirations with the universe; Angels listen in…

REVIEWS

A MUST TO HAVE IN EVERYONE’S SPECIAL COLLECTION OF BOOKS!

By Elsa Mendoza on September 5, 2017

I found sweetness, beauty, hope, joy and love on every page of this short and happy book.
I paused, reflected and thought about my life as I live it on a daily basis and get to ask myself what my eulogy would be.
This is one of those special books that anyone should have.

Delightful, Captivating, Inspiring

By Carolyn Thomson Twaddle on September 6, 2017

A delightful read that is light yet profound. It’s easy to read and surprisingly fun especially when considering the topic. So well done! I could feel the lift in Mimi’s step as she lived her life on purpose. I’ve definitely been inspired by this book and the novel idea of writing my own eulogy to be!

If you’ve wondered what you’re meant to be doing with your life, take stock and read this! What a great idea for getting your life back on track …. how to reverse engineer your life. Love it!

This delightful read is the perfect prescription for ‘getting it right – now.’

By Amazon Customer on September 5, 2017

Thank God above for fresh lingerie and ‘Bonus Moments!’ This delightful read is the perfect prescription for ‘getting it right – now.’ Don’t wait until later to figure out what your very best life, joy and happiness are meant to be. Mimi offers a fantastic template to help you think about what really matters, here and now. My only regret is the author lives on the other side of the world and isn’t available to jaunt around with. Because if she was I’d be at her house every day soaking up her enthusiasm. I look forward to more from Ms. Emmanuel.

The Holy Grail of Book Launching
The birth of a cover

by Mimi Emmanuel

LAUNCHING NOW get your discounted copy from Amazon here.

I like to explain how the cover came about.

I asked my daughter to come up with a cover. She makes all my covers for me. She is GREAT!

She did an amazing job and I loved what she came up with. It looked like this.

So why didn’t we go with this cover?

We didn’t use this cover because we couldn’t get it right.

What? It was right, yes? Well no.
One of the final steps before publishing is to make the cover thumbnail size to see what it looks like on Amazon and this beautiful cover looked like this thumbnail size.

Mmm, see what I mean? It didn’t work. We couldn’t read the word ‘Grail.’ So it needed adjusting.

My daughter then set out to create the following covers to make the wording stand out more. These covers turned out marginally better but lost the elegance of the original cover.

I said, to my daughter, ‘How hard can it be to make this cover suited for Amazon.’ Just DO something, you know, colour, font, size, I dunno, make it work!’

She said, ‘Sure Mum. How about these?’

And these?

Talented kid huh?

But I liked the first one best, the turquoise coloured one, cause I thought it looked ‘elegant.’

i even had people vote on these covers but I just couldn’t get happy about it.

Hmmphh. Now what? Any of those covers would do, but I just didn’t ‘feel’ it.

My daughter said, ‘Mum, what do you want? What do you like? Why don’t you google ‘covers’ and see what comes up. When you see one you like, show it to me and I’ll take it from there.’

I didn’t really know what I liked other than I like ‘retro’ and ‘chalkboard.’

So I asked ‘Google Images’ and ‘Stock Unlimited’ and ‘Canva’ to show me ‘retro,’ vintage’ and ‘chalk board.’

Two images came up that I liked. Now we have inspiration. All credit to the creators of these images. I couldn’t find their names.

We then sat down, together this time, and played in www.canva.com for a night and came up with this.

I liked it!

BUT, I did not feel that it carried the kind of authority that I believe came with the title.

Also, once more, it did not read great, once we turned it into a thumbnail.

Launch date was getting closer and closer and we still did not have a cover.

My daughter said, ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ll sort it,’ as she trotted off to do her volunteer coaching.

But I was worried because it had taken us months to get to this point and launch was now only weeks if not days away and I do not ‘do’ stress very well.

So, on my own this time I went back into the www.canva.com portal, thinking ‘BIG CLEAR FONTS’ and ‘I like vintage.’

I tested out each and every font on Canva and then gave my arms and shoulders rest till my daughter came home and showed her this cover.

Together we played a bit more and came up with this clearer and sharper picture.

After this I asked my daughter if she could take the image to Photoshop and enter the text of the subtitle in the little book symbol.

Another day we said down together once more and created the covers for the three volumes on the inside of the book.

And finally my daughter went to www.covervault.com to download a free 3D template to create a graphic for the three volumes.

Birth of the cover for the Holy Grail of Book Launching

A few people have asked how the covers came about and I thought to share the process. It literally took us nearly 6 months working on these, on and off to get to the final covers. Love um or hate um, this is it.

You can find my tutorial on how to create an infographic on canva here.
