When are you working too much?
The truth of the matter is -- we are working too hard and putting in too many hours on the next books and on all of our other tasks and jobs. But we have barometers in our home who tell us that we've lost our way. They are named Leaf, Cuddles, Speedy, and Sunshine.
Cuddles, the little black-and-white cat, vocalizes with a scolding tone of voice, telling us to knock it off. Speedy, the big cat, plants himself on our laps the moment we sit down on the couch. Sunshine, the bird, screeches more than usual.
Leaf taps with his curly black paw on our knees and pleads with big, dark-brown eyes for someone, anyone, to throw a ball for him to retrieve.
Everybody joins in the chorus to let us know that it is time to rest, time to take a break, or to play.
Who is in charge of keeping you in balance when your life fills up with too many to-do list items?

NEW CONTEST
Inspiring Stories of Animals Who Comfort and Heal Children -- Angel Animals Network 2010 True Story Contest
The Angel Animals Network 2010 True Story Contest is now accepting submissions of true stories of animals helping children, parents, and families deal with difficult situations and circumstances. Animals featured in contest stories can be dogs, cats, horses, gerbils, rabbits, ferrets, or any house pet or animal in nature. They can be family pets or therapy, assistance, or service animals.
The stories can be written by parents or guardians of children or by the children or teens themselves. Stories can also be written by adults who recall a special animal from childhood or teen years who helped them through a tough period.
This contest hopes to find real-life stories that demonstrate animals comforting and helping to heal children during everyday ups and downs or traumatic events such as divorce or other losses. The stories can depict how children and teens de-stress with animals while learning valuable life lessons.
The contest hopes to find heartwarming and positive stories that deal with children who endure long-term or catastrophic illnesses. The animals in the stories might also be ones who help children who have learning disorders, blindness, deafness, physical/motor, mental, and emotional problems. They might be children with autism that an animal is aiding through their journey.
Any contest entries, but especially those of the winners, will be considered for possible publication in a new book about animals who comfort and heal children by Allen and Linda Anderson to be published by New World Library in Fall 2011.
Contest deadline is September 15, 2010. But get your stories in early so we can read them to see if they are possibilities for the new book.

The Book Betty White Says You Should Read with Your Pets
The Book Betty White Says You Should Read with Your Pets
"As a lifelong animal lover, I am delighted to see them celebrated in such a positive way. You and your pet will enjoy reading this together."
--Betty White, actress and author
What is Betty White doing these days besides hosting Saturday Night Live? She's helping the animals in every way she can. This is why she gave her endorsement to a groundbreaking book, ANGEL ANIMALS BOOK OF INSPIRATION: Divine Messengers of Wisdom and Compassion by Allen and Linda Anderson (New World Library, 2009). In these times of uncertainty and negative energy, a book that fully delivers good news is needed more than ever. Still in time for Mother's Day and a great gift book for every animal lover, it is available at online bookstores, regular bookstores, and at angelanimalsbookofinspiration.com.
Angel Animals Book of Inspiration contains an original story from Richard Simmons about the incredible Dalmatians who cared for his mother Shirley. The Andersons offer a little insider-scoop on how Richard's story came to be in our book. "When we wrote to Richard to ask if there was a special animal story he wanted his enormous fan base of millions around the world to read, he called us and asked, 'Allen and Linda, how can I help you?' Then he graciously shared an experience that had deeply affected him."
Richard's story is an exclusive for Angel Animals Book of Inspiration. He wanted it to be in this book that would honor the spiritual contribution to his mother's life that the dogs Brent and Rhett had made. These dogs had consistently reassured Richard that his mother was in good paws and eased his pain over her passing.
After the Andersons sent the published book to Richard, he wrote to them, saying, "Congratulations on the beautiful success of your new book. Of course, I flipped to Shirley's story. Yes, of course, I cried. Each night before I go to bed, I read two other stories. I do love your new book."
In addition to Betty White's words of praise for the book, there are over twenty other endorsements and
comments reviewers and celebrities have made about its impact:
"Allen and Linda have taken the concepts that I share in my books to a whole new level, asking the most profound questions and finding the most wonderful, joyous answers through our animal friends. I am grateful that they have the courage to explore and share the deepest levels of our kindred connections. I love this book. Read it and open your heart, and transform into the loving beings that we all are!" --Allen M. Shoen, DVM, MS, author of Kindred Spirit: How the Remarkable Bond between Humans, from his Foreword to Angel Animals Book of Inspiration
"In this collection of true stories the Andersons show how animals serve as conduits for messages of spiritual love and help in times of despair, loss, and confusion. Meditations following each story guide those in need of some soul work, making the book even better. . .Pick up several copies as gifts for all the animal lovers on your list. Yes, it really is that good!" --Sally Rosenthal, Best Friends Magazine
"Any story in Angel Animals Book of Inspiration will lift your spirit. These truly heartwarming stories prove the power of unconditional love we receive from our beloved animal friends." --Tippi Hedren, actress and animal advocate, winner of the Genesis Lifetime Achievement Award
"Animals truly are angels upon the earth, as Allen and Linda Anderson so beautifully remind us in their wonderful book. Their heart-opening stories are inspirational, and remind us to take wonderful care of our animals friends." --Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., author, Messages from Your Angels and Angel Therapy
Some of these extraordinary true stories will make you smile. Others will bring tears to you eyes. Each one will open your heart to new revelations of love in its many forms and shapes.
