   Am loving the gift basket idea and it is the first time I am hearing of it. Thanks for the tips and all the clever ideas. Quite a few gems on the list.

   Cheers!

   Great ideas, Flora. I’m particularly intrigued by ‘start your own holiday.’ Is this like declaring a day/week/month to draw attention to something, e.g. breast cancer awareness?

     Hi Carol,

     I’m glad you liked this idea. It can be created to draw attention to a special cause if there’s not already such a day. But it can be whatever you perceive as important. The day I created, for example, is Color Your Life Happy Day, named after my book to encourage folks to seek their own happiness. I chose August 9th for the date because that’s my mother’s birthday.

     You’ve just given me the idea that I should explain how I run that day.
     Look for it as a blog post soon. Thanks for that push.

   Hi Flora and Happy 2013!

   I’m passing your infographic post on to a friend of a friend from Arizona (Lawrence Zarkpah, author of “Whirlwind of African Insanity”) who’s recently published his book and would love some ways to spread the word. 🙂

   Wishing you continued and tremendous success in the New Year! xoxo

   Thank you so much for this post, Flora. I will definitely be doing the gift bag idea — and I’ve had a concept for an inspirational “holiday” related to my work for a while. It will be fun to add value to the lives of my readers with these great ideas.

     Hi Abiola,

     This is great news. I’m happy that you’re going to do the gift bag idea. Be sure to take a photo. You can use it in many ways later.
