Happily Every After in Mexico

I had the most amazing night all alone in Mexico City last night! I am such a geek.
Fist , I made a list of Goals for 2008... refusing to call them "resolutions" because that would be way too conforming to societal norms (Yes, I'm in denial).
One of them was to actually READ more. I love reading, and book club, and socialing with books club members- doesn't every avid reader? Though I'm not sure I would actually qualify as "avid" quite yet- something to aim for in 2008. Life just gets so busy sometimes and I don't make the time. But since I have now completed my MA, I am determined to return to reading for enjoyment. How I love it! So....while in Mexico City (also known as DF), I decided to actually search for the book I had stowed away in my bag, and actually begin to peruse the pages. I carried the book with me, walked outside my hotel in the Reforma, and searched for a perfect restaurant to read in. As I meandered through the streets, I ran across a local Feria, crowded with families, carousels, magicians, music and street vendors. What a lovely sight it was, but not a great place to settle in to read, so I continued my search. I finally ran across the perfect place- a cute, trendy, restaurant in the middle of the Reforma! I walked in and was immediately greeted by sweet, kind, professional locals. I decided to take a seat at the bar, even though I was the only one seated there. I ordered some traditional cuisine, tacos de pollo that came with beans and guacamole, along with a local cerveza. Then I proceeded with the book, which was given to me a few months ago, called Eat, Pray, Love. In a nutshell, it is an amusing, comical, yet deep book about a woman's self discovery through travel. Turns out it was quite fitting for an American currently in Mexico City. So here I was in Mexico City, alone, reading a great book, enjoying some local food, all while watching the city night lights of the cars along the Reforma- all to say, a totally blissful night for me! How I love the ambience! The only thing that could have made it any better is if I had met a sweet, older couple and shared some conversation about their lovely city. But there is still time for that, so no worries.

Happily Ever After: Without the Prince?

Happily Ever After: Without the Prince?
New Release, Princess Bubble, Strikes Chord with America’s 51% SINGLE WOMEN WHO, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN U.S. HISTORY, OUTNUMBER MARRIED WOMEN
ATLANTA, April 26, 2007—This spring, as single women scramble to catch bridal bouquets, toss their mortar boards, and contemplate “what’s next,” two successful single gals are throwing out an unstereotypical option, a redefined fairy-tale ending, “happily ever after”—even without the prince. With wisdom gleaned from their careers as single, globe-trotting flight attendants, first-time authors Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb have crafted a modern-day book that celebrates singleness. A contemporary fairy tale for all ages, Princess Bubble was written to reduce the overwhelming sense of failure, self-doubt, and despair that some single women face. “Knowing how low self-esteem and depression plague many single females, we wanted to spread the message that ‘happily ever after’ can occur even before Prince Charming arrives. . . or even if he never does,” said Webb. “We’re definitely not anti-Prince,” said Johnston (whose college nickname was “Bubbles”). “We’re not anti-family or anti-marriage, if anything we’re anti-‘Damsel in Distress.’ Our message—the single life can also be a fairy tale. The End!”Princess Bubble stars a princess who is confused by the traditional fairy tale messages that say she must find her “prince” before she can live “happily ever after.” Princess Bubble dons her “thinking crown” to research traditional fairy tales, interviews married girlfriends, and even takes counsel from her mother, who advises her to sign up at FindYourPrince.com. With a little help from her fairy godmother (this is still a fairy tale after all), Ms. Bubble discovers that “living happily ever after” is not about finding a prince. “True happiness,” the book reveals, “is found by loving God, being kind to others, and being comfortable with who you are already!”“We’ve had countless women all over the nation tell us they wish there had been a book like this when they were young,” said Johnston. “This is a story women can truly believe in and feel comfortable sharing with their children.”ABOUT PRINCESS BUBBLE and BUBBLE GUM PRESS: Self-published in 2006, Princess Bubble is now available through most online retailers and in over 70 retail outlets. The Princess Bubble message, cleverly articulated by former Delta flight attendants Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb, seeks to find an alternate ending to “happily ever after” and change the notion that life begins and ends with finding your Prince Charming. Looking to bolster the poor self-esteem of female youth and the stigma that many single adult women carry, Johnston and Webb believe “this is a book for women of all ages, a story they can believe in and share with their children.” In upcoming adventures, Princess Bubble will travel to distant lands where the knowledge of every new culture will enrich her flourishing life.

Princess Bubble A New Type Fairy Tale

I am publishing a new fairy tale where the true way to "Happily Ever After" is told. Not by finding the prince but by helping others, loving God and liking who you are!
I need to find ways to promote this book because I am self publishing with a friend. Does anyone have any super ideas for getting the message out???
Would love to hear any ideas!!
