How to Journal to Create the Life You Want
How to Journal to Create the Life You Want - an E-Class - is a 7 week e-class that expandsupon the concepts in the Journaling and Visualization chapters in Gracefully: Looking and Being Your Best at Any Age.
Taught by Heather Hummel, coauthor of Gracefully.
I have been a journal writer for thirty years. It wasn't until about two years ago that I woke up one day and realized that all of my journal writing was having a major impact on the outcome of my life, and not always in a good way.
From that moment on, I chose to only journal positive thoughts, gratitude, and the goals I wanted to acheive in life.
Within a few months of changing what and the way I wrote in my journal, I:
1) signed with a literary agent in New York City (after having looked for one for over a year),
2) landed a book deal with McGraw Hill within a few months,
3) and am now the author of an already bestselling book,
Gracefully: Looking and Being Your Best at Any Age.
I learned that through changing the way I wrote in my journal, my life began to change for the better.
How to Journal to Create the Life You Want will share with you the tools for writing in your journal in such a way that your life will begin to change for the better.

Publishers Weekly
We're very excited about Publishers Weekly review for Gracefully:
Gracefully: Looking and Being Your Best at Any Age Valerie Ramsey with Heather Hummel, foreword by Susan Lucci. McGraw-Hill, $24.95 (304p) ISBN 978-0-07-154623-2
Ramsey's best friend in high school was the beautiful Ali MacGraw, who “hopscotched right over the gawky stage” of adolescence. With such a friend, Ramsay says, “you couldn't help but feel insecure.” Readers might be tempted to feel the same as Ramsey describes hopscotching over her own gawky, aging stage. Beautiful and accomplished, she has gone from happy stay-at-home mom of six (of whom coauthor Hummel is one) to older career woman and runway model in her 60s. But while few women have her genes, or her success, they may benefit from Ramsey's frank advice and beauty tips. She includes such useful information as how to pose for a photograph, strategic uses for Botox, what to eat, how to exercise, what makeup to use, the advantages of meditation and how to stay sexual in a long-term marriage. None of it is particularly original, but it is heartfelt and admirably health conscious (except perhaps for the Botox). Not everything has been roses for Ramsey. She's a survivor of uterine cancer and was diagnosed with a weak heart. How, then, does she do it? Ramsey attributes much of her success to the power of positive thinking. And then, of course, there are those genes. (May)
