MARCH: Celebrating Women of Strength with Rev. Valerie Love
March is National Women’s Month and features many tributes, accolades and stories of Women of Strength. Cider Enterprises Book Club joins the celebration of great women with the March 19th Conference Call, featuring Rev. Valerie Love. Rev. Valerie is an Intuitive Advisor, Inspirational Speaker, Author of 11 books on practical spirituality and the founding minister of Boost Worldwide Love, a community in the New Thought/Ancient Wisdom tradition.
Having heard numerous testimonies from quite a few people within my circle of business and personal friends, I knew I would have to have Rev. Love on the call eventually. Then news came through the ‘true vine’ that she will be moving to Bali, Indonesia real soon! That news put some fire and urgency under my intentions, and now I’m proud to say that Rev. Val will be on the Thursday, March 19, 2015 Cider Enterprises Book Club Conference Call at 7 p.m. CST/ 8 p.m. EST.

Press Forward & Shift to a Higher Level with Featured Author Jo Anne Meekins
Author Jo Anne Meekins and her “Living a Vocal, Valued and Victorious Life” three book series on healing and ‘upgrading’ brought so much excitement and interest to the January Cider Enterprises Book Club Conference Call that we only got to ‘skim’ the surface. We were so engaged that we actually only discussed Volume 1, “How To Uncover, Heal & Release Painful Life Experiences.” Thank you Jo Anne! I had to put Jo Anne on the spot, even before the call ended, and request her return for February because there was too much to discuss in just one call.
In this second interview, Jo Anne will share more about her mission to Empower Women to speak their truth out loud, value themselves, and BE victorious over unfavorable circumstances and situations.” This series is a must have for reference and referral.
- Vol. 1: How To Uncover, Heal & Release Painful Life Experiences
- Vol. 2: How to Press Forward & Shift to a Higher Level
- Vol. 3: How To Know God Better & Love Yourself More

Delta Sigma Theta’s World Authors’ Tour and the Need for an Authors’ Showcase
Recently, I attended the Delta Sigma Theta’s World Authors’ Tour, which has appeared in major cities and received outstanding reviews. As an avid reader of newspapers, magazines, books and now an abundance of emails and internet content of interest, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this great group of authors. These renowned authors of multiple genres have been traveling across the country for several years giving credence to the value of reading. Upon reading about them, I became excited enough to skip my leisurely planned Saturday and go out to attend their event.

“Transform Your Life” is our ‘harvest’ of insightful information for living a principled, high quality life. Dr. Barbara provides everyday examples of attitudes, actions, and beliefs for our conscious attention and offers multiple exercises to help us better understand who we are. Feelings are explored in depth and one significant result of its exploration is that we can easily see how the simple acknowledgement of feelings can assist our progress toward different thoughts about those feelings and ourselves.

An Expression of Gratitude for Author Ernest Abdullah’s Insightful Contributions
Is there ever too much gratitude? For me, there can never, never, ever be “too much” gratitude. The feeling of successful accomplishment, as endorphins flowed through my brain and gave me an overall state of peace and tranquility, is truly a presence to be sought. My October interview with author Ernest Basim Abdullah on the Cider Enterprises Book Club Conference Call was one of those perfect peaceful accomplished moments in time. “The Game of Life and How To Play It” was so orderly and eloquently discussed by Ernest that I am still receiving compliments and comments about the insights he contributed to the call. THANK YOU Ernest Abdullah!

Welcome Rev. Dr. Sheila McKeithen: The Newly Elected UFBL President

Rev. Dr. Sheila McKeithen, newly elected President of the Universal Foundation For Better Living (UFBL), conducted a Prosperity Series Seminar that personified why she is the ‘elected one’. She ‘turned up’ the realization that we are one with the Universe and life is “rigged in our favor” in order that we experience the good that God has for us.
On “Sweetest Day” in Chicago, Sheila (as she asked to be called) filled the Faith Chapel at Christ Universal Temple. She was delectable! We were eager to hear the voice and message of this youngest President of the Foundation to date and waited excitedly to greet her before the session began. I felt her authentic, energetic and purpose-filled vibrations of confidence and sincerity as she welcomed us. (You can read her extended story in The October/November issue of “Daily Inspiration for Better Living,” a publication of the Universal Foundation for Better Living, Inc.).

How to Play The Game of Life – written by Ernest Basim Abdullah
Fall is officially here and my featured author for October 16, 2014 is Mr. Ernest Basim Abdullah. His book “The Game of Life and How to Play It” will have me cozying up to some powerful lessons during this time. Ernest wrote his book more than 20 years ago, sent a copy to his sister in another city and forgot about it. As a repatriate of hurricane Katrina, Ernest left New Orleans with only his self. In working through the process of re-inventing his life, Ernest assessed the intangibles within himself to create his new life. He remembered he had already written the guide he needed. His sister had her copy so he revived it and published it earlier this year. To purchase book, click on book title above or photo of book below.

Cider Enterprises Monthly Book Club’s 3rd Season of Questions Answered

LISTEN AND TALK TO AUTHORS FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN ENVIRONMENT AND INVITE FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO JOIN IN
The third season of the Cider Enterprises Book Club Conference Call (CEBCC) is set to begin on September 25, 2014 at 7PM with the remarkable and talented Charles Holt. I’m so excited. I am unabashedly a mid-westerner and like school, I start in September, after Labor Day. It is no accident that the CEBCC begins in September and continues through April. For me, it’s my cycle of learning and my brain seems better able to focus on concrete goals during this time. This is when new and exciting endeavors can orderly begin for me.
This time span carries three fourths of the year within it and encompasses many traditional, family and religious aspects of my life. I feel extremely purposeful coming from a summertime filled with nature-filled experiences on beaches, parks, gardens, and trails, balconies and porches. These types of places allow the free flow of connections with my dreams and hopes and I am more able to clearly visualize and explore them. These relaxing and bountiful spaces of abundance are just the perfect backdrop for me to see beyond my natural eyes that what I desire.
This new season’s authors continue the mission of the Cider Enterprises Book Club to feature “Over-Comers”. These are stories of situations and circumstances that have been overcome by the authors and they have been able to share their very individual and personal stories of how they did it. They offer lessons on family growth in love, understanding and forgiveness for each of us.
