Author Interview with Zhena Muzyka: Life by the Cup

A Conversation With Zhena Muzyka

Author of "Life by the Cup: 
Ingredients for a Purpose-filled 

Life of Bottomless Happiness 
and Limitless Success"

Featured Author
Zhena Muzyka

ABB: Why do you feel you had to write "Life by the Cup: Ingredients for a Purpose-filled Life of Bottomless Happiness and Limitless Success?”

Zhena: After my experiences as a single mom-entrepreneur in a tough world, I wanted to share my experiences and insights with others. Starting a business when you’re in dire straights can be a great solution, not that many people think about it, but after growing my business into the millions of revenue—which was so unlikely given my circumstance—I wanted to share my secrets in hopes others would be inspired to pursue their dreams, no matter how big the obstacles.

ABB: From where do you get your ideas?

Zhena: Really from my travels in Sri Lanka and India, and navigating my situation with my son needing so many operations.

ABB: Do you ever experience writer's block, and how do you overcome it?


Zhena: Yes! And when I do, I meditate, journal and exercise to shake it off. Hemingway also gave great advice I follow religiously: to write one true sentence. It works every time!

ABB: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Zhena: Write every day, write in a journal for yourself and then write with more intention on your project. Journaling helps clear the mind and thoughts so you can home in and focus on your project.

ABB: How do you market your work? 

Zhena: I use social media, email lists of influential friends, publicity and events.
Are some avenues more successful than others? Considering this is my first book, I’ll have to report back!

ABB: If your book was made into a movie, who would play each role?

Zhena: It’s been optioned by Mark Wahlberg’s production company who created Entourage and Boardwalk Empire, so I get this question a lot. My mom would definitely be played best by Goldie Hahn, dad should be Sam Elliott, it’s up in the air who would play me, my son, my tea workers and my husband, we’re working on that now.

The Secret to Leadership: How Not to Suck, by Thomas DiPaolo

An Explanation as to Why Leaders Fail and a Simplified and Different Approach to Becoming an Effective and Respected Leader

The Secret to Leadership: How to Not Suck, takes a different view and approach to leadership study. This book will help break down the very basic principles of effective leaders and strip away the over complicated and intimidating ideas that currently exist within leadership study. It will help you to identify flawed practices and concepts of leadership which should be eliminated and refocus on the basic principles of successful leaders. Sculpture's are not created by constantly adding material in hopes of creating a work of art but rather by removing material. Like carving a sculpture the strategy is to carve away material that is useless, and which hides truth, to reveal your vision which lies beneath. Through the process of carving away over complicated theories in leadership you can help identify, simplify and refine your leadership style which enhances your effectiveness and abilities. This book focuses on internal exploration and self reflection as opposed to searching externally for new ideas and gimmicks. Leadership is not an entitlement and is never awarded or attached to a certain position or social status. It is earned and lived through everyday actions and ideas. There is nothing complicated about being a great leader and it’s a mindset that is carried naturally and extends well beyond the workplace and into all facets of life.


About the Author

Thomas DiPaolo was born in Florida in 1976. His first published book was in 2011 How to Win Any Fight Without Training. He has since published several other personal development books including The Secret to Understanding Men, Things a Man Should Know, and The Secret to Leadership.

Perception is the first Novel by Thomas DiPaolo and the first book in the "Historians" series. Perception is a Sci-Fi thriller which delves into the theory of time travel and coexistence between future and present humanity while being perceived as extra terrestrials.

Becoming Magic: A Course in Manifesting an Exceptional Life (Book 1), by Genevieve Davis

"Becoming Magic" is book one of a complete course in becoming creator of your own exceptional life. In this book, I outline the exact steps which enabled me to move my own life from one of poverty and drudgery, to one of previously unimaginable wealth, purpose and joy.

‘But Magic? I do hope you are joking!’

That’s what I would have said, five or ten years ago. I once despised all things ‘New-Age’, all these spiritual types and their airy-fairy views, their bad science and their irrational beliefs.

I read all the greats, Wallace Wattles, Anthony Robbins, Rhonda Byrne, Napoleon Hill, Esther Hicks and Wayne Dyer. But no matter how closely I followed their instructions, I couldn’t make it work.

It was only when I recognized, accepted and finally embraced that what I was doing was actually some kind of Magic that suddenly things began to fall into place. Once I realized that the power came from within me, it was as if the light had suddenly been switched on.

If you’re jaded by the whole New Age Law of Attraction idea, have become bored by its failure to deliver… this book is for you. It is my intention to lead you by the hand through a marvelous journey of wonder and adventure.

Part one of this course, Becoming Magic, lays the groundwork for becoming a magical person, while part two, Doing Magic, offers concrete techniques and instructions for bringing wonderful things into your life. The plan is to build your knowledge slowly, gradually, building on what has gone before, moving on to more complex techniques only once the basics are mastered.

So many people fail with Magic and the Law of Attraction because they rush headlong into using techniques, trying to create enormous manifestations, making very simple but crucial mistakes. When they are disappointed, they imagine they have been duped. The sceptics are right. This is all a load of scammy nonsense. And they give up, declaring it just doesn’t work.

I am telling you that it does work. And you can make it work. And this book will show you how.

My intention is that this book will allow you to become a true creator of your own life, reawakening and rekindling your belief and interest in The Law of Attraction, Reality Creation, Cosmic Ordering or whatever you wish to call it.

I prefer simply to call it Magic.

The Child (Alien in the Delta), by Thankful Strother

***Free Kindle Download May 1-3, 2014***

Sex with the High School Teachers

Several of my teachers in high school were young women who had just finished 'teachers' training. Ours was the first class they had taught for a full school year. The young teachers were about six years older than their students.

Sex was a frequent topic of discussion with our young teachers. Are you still a virgin? Have you ever had sex? Do you enjoy sex? Do you use protection? How often do you and your girlfriend have sex? The young female teachers asked the boys these types of questions. All of the boys thought it was cool having this kind of personal relationship with our young female teachers.

Some of the young women teachers gave private sex lessons to the more mature male students. I was not advanced or mature enough to be given lessons, but we had lots of personal contact and inappropriate discussions with our young female teachers.

Was what we did with our teachers wrong or harmful? I don't believe that I suffered any emotional or psychological harm because of the inappropriate behavior of our young female teachers. However, I am in therapy.

Alien in the Delta Series

"The Child" is the first book in the Alien in the Delta series. It highlights the life of a boy from the age of six until he graduates from high school at age seventeen. During that time he discovers girls,sex music, dance, and becomes self-aware.

"The Soldier" is the second book. Thankful Strother spent four years in the United States Air Force. He was stationed in Germany where he learned to speak German, met his future wife and traveled throughout Europe.

"The Adult" is the last book in the series of three. Thankful returns home from Germany. He settles in Detroit, gets married, starts a family and buys their first house. He goes to work in the automotive industry, learns to program computers, enters the corporate world and becomes a successful real estate investor. The Series end after his promotion to District Sales Manager of NCR Corporation and the family moves to a Detroit suburb.

About the Author
Thankful Strother born 1943 in Grand Lake, AR., grew up in Eudora AR. Graduated from high school in 1961 and joined the US Air Force. Stationed in Germany for four years, there he learned to speak German and met his wife Barbara. Married forty-seven years, they live in California and have two adult children. He retired in 2003. Thankful Strother had a thirty-five-year career in computers and telecommunications with NCR and AT&T. In his retirement, he has accomplished his goal to write a book about his early life. Alien in the Delta is that book. It is a memoir about growing up poor in a hostile environment in the 1950's to experience unimaginable success later in life.

The Alien (inner child) never leaves us regardless how old we become. Some of us learn to live with the inner child. Others want to forget the memories of the inner child. When I started to think about writing a book about my life I wanted to remember my childhood years as far back as possible. It was such a challenge because you do not know what you will encounter as to try to remember. I actually spent several years recalling my early childhood. You could say I got stuck in the pass. When I finished my childhood years I had two chapters finished.

My inner child takes you on a journey that highlights the life experiences of a boy from the age of six through manhood. He grew up on the Mississippi River in the Arkansas Delta, but felt out-of-place in that environment. In his home town prejudice and inequality were practice openly. His escape from the Delta was not realized until he went abroad. He takes you on his adventures in the rural south and throughout Europe. He shares with you a variety of emotions including fear, sadness, happiness, and amusement. Alien in the Delta is a memoir about overcoming adversity.

Having been called many different names at various times in my life, I would like to explain how I became Thankful Strother. My first nickname was Thee in Eudora, Arkansas. In Germany, it was Gerard, or Gary. After joining NCR Corporation, I was known as Ted, or Teddy. Now, I have decided to select my own first name. Through research into my family's genealogy on Ancestry.com, I am able to update and correct some of family history by writing a book about my ancestors. I discovered that S-t-r-o-t-h-e-r was the correct spelling of our family's last name. John Strother, my grand-father changed the spelling of our last name because he got into trouble with the law. I also found out that my great-great grandfather's first name was Thankful. In his honor and as a testimony to his life's experiences, therefore I am Thankful Strother.

Achieve Anything In Just One Year, by Jason Harvey

Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals

"Achieve Anything in Just One Year" equips readers with the tools to:

Be Truly Committed. Don't just go through the motions - act like you're making a promise to your company, or to your best friend.

Be Specific. A resolution like "I want to lose weight" is easier to ignore than "I want to lose five pounds by March."

Set a Deadline. A time-frame equals commitment and helps quantify success.

Avoid Overwhelming Yourself. You may want to lose weight, quit smoking, achieve moderation with Martinis and cut up your credit cards all at once, but let's get real. Focus on a limited set of goals and plan on taking stock mid-year.

Change One Thing at a Time. Recognize that change is hard. Wait to achieve one goal before starting on the next.

Be Realistic. Taking charge of a fitness regimen is a realistic goal, while exercising seven days a week may not be. Don't set yourself up for disappointment with lofty goals.

The idea is to take daily action that creates a ripple effect in your life.

By transforming your life with small steps, you can stay motivated, focused and balanced..Best of all, you will feel happier about pursuing your personal success.

About the Author

The Art of Being Alive - Revisited (Annotated), by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I found this book in an antique shop in Fremantle, Australia and picked it up, out of curiosity. When I flicked through the pages I was fascinated by the clarity and relevance of the few sentences I had read. I asked myself: “More than one hundred years ago they had already books about self-development?” I was so absorbed, I decided to buy the book.

I continued reading and wondered who this person, who this author, was. I did some research and what I found fascinated me even more. For example, a book review of 1914 by Walter de la Mare, published by “The Times Literary Supplement,” states the following:"...fragments that remain rather than by the elixir they have wasted and the miracle it represents.” Or this: “She heartily denounces the get-rich-quick method of financiering.” For those inquisitive minds, the whole book review text is contained in the notes, see for yourself and you will find that it indeed makes an interesting read.

Until I came across this book, somehow I had this belief that self-improvement and self-help books are a sign of our modern times. As this book is testimony, the whole subject of self-improvement goes back a long time and people had always tried to better themselves and even then already, wanted to improve their lives. I was also surprised to learn how little has changed in one hundred years. For example in the chapter, “Modern Marriage”, Ella Wheeler Wilcox writes: “WHY the contention, the separations, the ever-increasing ratio of divorces that follow the marriages of to-day? In short, what is the matter with the modern marriage?”

There are many more examples how Ella’s writing is still relevant here and now, therefore I decided it would be a loss if her thoughts were not exposed to other people who are interested in self-improvement and never have had the opportunity to read her thoughts on this subject.

About the Author
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (November 5, 1850 – October 30, 1919) was an American author and poet. Other published works by her:

* Poems of Passion
* The Way Of The World, this contains the lines, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone".

Her autobiography, "The Worlds and I", was published in 1918, a year before her death.

Ella Wheeler was born in 1850 on a farm in Johnstown, Wisconsin, east of Janesville, the youngest of four children. The family soon moved north of Madison. She started writing poetry at a very early age, and was well known as a poet in her own state by the time she graduated from high school.

Sober is the New Black: A Then and Now Account of Life Beyond Booze, by Rachel Black

Synopsis
Do you worry you drink too much? Can't help yourself? Prefer being sober? Drinking alcohol is a normal part of life, isn't it? It is usual for thirty-somethings to collapse in the evening with a glass or two of something sophisticated to diffuse the stress of the day and calm their buzzing brains, whether they be professionals, mothers, wives or homemakers. Rachel was no different. She juggled her many roles and responsibilities well and rewarded herself with wine at the end of each day; after all, she deserved it. But, gradually her wine intake began to increase each night and soon it had gone from being a little treat to an absolute necessity. As wine invaded more and more areas of her life, it became harder to cope. In turn it meant she drank more wine, firmly believing it was the cure, never considering for a moment that it could be the problem.

Eventually, when wine was dictating everything she did and did not do, Rachel realised that something had to change. However, as soon as she attempted to restrict or moderate her drinking, she seemed to want it even more. Her best intentions fell quickly by the way side after the first bottle was opened and the first drink took control, compelling her to have more. Drinking would continue until there was none left or Rachel 'fell asleep'.

The following day consisted of a hangover, depression, overeating, remorse, worry, despair and self-hatred, until the time came around when the next bottle could be opened and these awful feelings could be blotted out. This pattern of trying and failing to control her wine drinking brought Rachel to acknowledge that it was not possible to do so, and she decided that she had to remove alcohol from her life forever. Despite being sick and tired of the drinking-hangover-drinking cycle of failure, giving up was not easy and it was only after a few more failed attempts that Rachel managed to do so.

This book details her life in that first year of going alcohol-free. It describes in detail how her everyday pursuits became challenging and changing. Her outlook on the whole point of life turned on its axis when alcohol was removed, leaving her with a whole different sense of self and being. The changes that occurred were astounding and beyond anything she believed could be possible. She thought that removing alcohol from her life was all about giving up; she had never considered what she might gain.
