A friend of mine, Stephen Beck, has pulled together several great resources to help families start an online business.  I was so excited when I found this great set of resources I know I can use.

Stephen’s online marketing tool kit includes topics such as, affiliate marketing, article marketing, driving traffic to your site, public domain, list building, email writing, free reports, and much more.

The coolest thing about his tool kit is the price!  Get this…It’s 14 e-books for $14!!  I couldn’t believe he was selling the ebooks for $1 a piece!

Since it’s so low, I thought some of you might want to check it out.  Here’s the link: http://www.familyebiz.com/valentine08.htm

Happy Early Valentine’s Day!

Oprah Winfrey is airing a segment on her show about domestic violence and it’s effect on the children involved. A very important subject for all. This topic is very close to my heart. If you think this sort of thing does not happen in certain circles…your wrong. I know. It happened to me.

Please watch this show. There needs to be awareness on this subject. There is a great stigma associated with women who are abused, which is why they often keep this a deadly secret. They are often scared, alone, and ashamed.

The show airs tomorrow 1/3/08 at 4pm est. on ABC. Or you can visit oprah.com. Then come here and share your views and reactions to the show with me. I would love to hear from you. Informing and protecting women and children in abusive situations is my passion, my goal and the real reason I started this website and newsletter. I want to write to help women fulfill their God given purpose in life, in all areas. God has a purpose and love for all his children.

Again, watch the show and come here to discuss and share your reactions. Thank you and God Bless you all.

Happy Halloween!

This is the last day of October! Hard to believe, Soon we will be in the holiday season! But, we won’t talk about that today! Autumn is my favorite season of all, and October is my favorite month, so I hate to see it end. October is also an important month.

October was:

• Fire prevention month

• Breast Cancer awareness month

• Domestic Violence awareness month

Quite a busy month! But, all of these topics are of importance to us and our families, so I felt it important to address them here.

1. Fire prevention- If you haven’t already, check all your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that they are working properly, and insert new batteries. Go over your family’s fire emergency escape plan. If you do not have one, make one. Make sure to include a central meeting place outside for everyone to meet. You can visit these sites for more fire safety info. http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/kids/flash.shtm http://www.befiresmart.com/?src=s=gglk=fire%20safetyC=FireSafety_NationalG=BeFireSmart_Fire_Safety_ExactM=Exact

2. Breast Cancer awareness- This is an important topic for all women. Help support the cause and a search for a cure any way you can, and more importantly do a self breast exam every month! Do it on your birth date, like for instance my birthday is January 11^th, so each month on the 11^th I do my self breast exam. Helps you to remember to do it. You can find more tips and info here. http://nbcam.org/ http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/about-breast-cancer/breast-cancer-symptoms/?hct=googlePPC_About&gclid=CLvBiaPuuY8CFQQjPAodbg71dg Be aware and stay healthy!

3. Domestic violence awareness- Many of you know that this is a topic very important to me. Having been in and gone through an abusive marriage myself, I know what other women are going through in these situations, often silently, and my heart goes out to them. Victims are often misunderstood and feel ashamed to even be in that situation. I know I did. If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship or marriage, get help. Talk to someone, a pastor, a friend, or a relative. Call a local domestic violence hotline. If you are in danger, call the police. Reach out, and get out! Don’t be another statistic! And most importantly, pray. Reach out to God. He has a plan for you and your life. Trust Him. Many of you have already read my story, and how God delivered me out of my abusive marriage and has blessed me abundantly! I am so blessed and happy now. I have the family I always wanted and prayed for. It is possible to be happy again. This can happen for you too.

Here are some resources.

It is my hope to encourage you my friends. May you and your family dwell in the blessings of God.

Donna Scott is a Christian writer living with her husband and six children in NW Georgia.

She writes to encourage women everywhere to be all God has called them to be.

Honestly, with the news about my daughters I was in shock, and yes depression.  Which I found a bit ironic since that is what I have been writing about.  But, I just stopped everything.  I needed some time to come to terms with things.  I apologize for the newsletter not going out as usual.  Thank you so much for being faithful and for you prayers.  They are needed and appreciated.  I am back on track now, and am writing again.  I am excited to see what God has in store for us!

It is a time of new beginnings!  Summer is coming to an end and fall is fast upon us! (at least I hope)  With everything that has been happening here at the Scott household it is time to move on ahead!  We have not one, but two precious little babies on the way!  Carey’s baby boy is scheduled to be delivered by C-section on November 16th! So with that and the holidays, we will be very busy!  Then Amanda’s baby (which we hope is a girl since C.J. is having a boy) will be due March 26th! Just two days after mine and Bruce’s anniversary!  Since Amanda lives here at home with us, we are busy preparing for her baby.

We are busy with homeschooling too!  Our schedule is working but changing as we add more activities.  My children are participating in a homeschool program at the YMCA this year.  So, far it is great!  And mom gets to workout too!  I know that at one time Brenda had asked about what curriculum we are using.  Sorry, I havent posted a response sooner.  We use a lot of different ‘curriculums’.  We are doing a unit study on American History that covers everything but math.  The kids also do an online program at www.time4learning.com It is a good curriculum too. Plus the program at the Y.  Their math is from Rod and Staff publishing.  I hope to post more about homeschooling soon.

That is my update for now dear friends.  Be looking for the newsletter soon in your inboxes.  I hope you won’t be disappointed in all I have planned for it. I am excited and I think you will enjoy it.

God Bless!

I hope you enjoy this week’s newsletter.  I am still not satisfied with the templates.  I added a recipe in this newsletter that I wanted to share with you.  The kids will love it.

My first E-book is almost complete and I am excited about it!  I am going to give my subscribers a sneak peak in the next newsletter.  So watch your inboxes!

My husband is getting his ministry going now.  Sometimes it is scary to obey God’s call on your life, but we are stepping out in faith that this is God’s plan for us and He will provide the means to accomplish it. Visit my husband’s site for details of God’s call on our life and ministry. www.Brucescottministries.com

God Bless you all!

Family relationships have been on my mind, and is the upcoming topic of my newsletter for the next few weeks.  Families are important to God.  He cares for you and your family.  In today’s world families have it hard, especially the traditional Christian families.  Satan is definately out to steal, kill, and destroy the family.  We must pray for protection for not only our own families, but for all the families out in the world trying to make it work.  I pray for your family tonight, for peace, health, and a close relationship with our Heavenly Father.

God Bless!
