HAPPY and HEALTHY 2008

I pray that this newsletter finds most of you doing well in the New Year 2008.  There have been some major changes in personnel at Bea Lydecker’s Naturals.  Ruth West retired, Annmarie Tipton is still with us and Becky has moved on to other employment.  Since Paul is 76 years old and I am 69, we decided we needed to slow down, so we felt God led us to contact our niece, Rose Feiseler, to come and work with us.  We are happy to tell you that she accepted our offer, and is now learning the business.  Hopefully, in a couple of years, she will be knowledgeable enough that we will be able to turn it over to her completely.  This will then allow us to pursue other activities such as writing more books, traveling, etc.  She is a sweet, caring, talented woman and we are delighted that she is being so well received by our clients who have given us very positive feedback about their contact with her.  We will still be in and out of the business for many years and maybe even until the Lord calls us home, helping where we can, but she will eventually own it.  This has brought me a great deal of relief as I was concerned that, should anything happen to me, who would be there to keep it going?  We value our clients and care deeply that help will always be available to you.  Rosie is, we believe, God’s choice to do that.

                                                                                                  THE NEW BOOK   

I am happy to tell you that the new book is in the final editing stages and should be out the first part of next year.  I finished writing it when we were able to get away last summer, but it still needs quite a bit of work, according to my editor.  I believe the new title will be “Talking with Animals,” but that is still not set in stone.  This book is not only a complete update and revision of “What the Animals Tell Me” and “Stories the Animals Tell Me”, but also includes the techniques of how you too can learn the animal’s language.  The teaching video will be available as a package with the book or you can purchase the book by itself.  It was fun writing the new chapter “Pets Say and do the Darndest Things,” in which I recall some of the funny things that animals have said and done during my career.  I believe you will enjoy it too.  We tried to get it out by Christmas, but just couldn’t do it.
