...which goes to prove that a dog-lover, speaking at a CAT convention can have success!  ha ha

"DeAnna Radaj launched the Cat Writers' Association 17th Annual writers'
conference in November 2010 to an eager audience. As vice president of CWA and the person responsible for booking and the scheduling speakers, I was delighted with all the positive feedback I received about Ms. Radaj's talk, "Marketing 102: To Blog, or Not to Blog? That is the Question." She was easy to work with, prompt, entertaining, knowledgeable and very professional. (I wish I could say the same for all of my speakers.) I would love for her share her expertise at a future conference." -Dusty Rainbolt. Vice President Cat Writers' Association

There is only one problem with saving your dream for someday.  Someday will always remain in the future.- Anonymous

From the book, NOW, by Dr Richard Singer (and DeAnna contributed to!) here is an exerpt on why you must start to take inspired action to achieve the life you want &/or dream of instead of waiting for "someday"...

"Whatever your dreams may be, start to realize them Now. Give yourself what you deserve today. If you dream to go to a tropical island, plan the trip. If you want to change careers, start the process.

This life is yours and it is intended to be a magnificent voyage. Open your mind and get rid of the fortifications that prevent you from experiencing your imaginings and soul-felt desires. Begin to take

action to live the life you are destined to live. Visualize the results and goals, sense success deep within you, and truly recognize that you can have anything you yearn for as long as you have the passion

and determination to discover your tremendous abilities and power in life."- Dr Richard Singer, NOW

Hence the creation of this program...Hope to help you on your journey of "designing the life of your dreams"!
