Mike Dooley on the Road
What a pleasure it has been to send Mike Dooley on a nationwide tour. Whitney, our fabulous publicist, set up dates for Mike to promote his newest book, Infinite Possibilities, in New York, Denver, Tempe, AZ, Los Angeles, Portland, OR and Seattle, and today he’s off to a home turf event in Orlando, FL, Mike’s hometown.
Whitney and I followed the tour every step of the way, and in each city, the Mike Dooley magic happened. Each event seemed to build on the other, ending in over 400 enthralled attendees in both Portland and Seattle. Mike was as gracious as could be at each venue and showed up ready to spread the message he is well-known for, “Thoughts Become Things.”
What stands out to me, a person who works very hard at promoting the fine books that we publish, is that when you think it will be effortless, it IS effortless. Mike certainly brought that attitude to the party and I will be using that lesson learned for the rest of my life. Thanks, Mike, for that gift, and to all of our readers for their support of Infinite Possibilities.

Portland Blessings
I came to Portland, Oregon on vacation from Chicago 23 years ago, almost as an afterthought. I was headed to Expo ’86 in Vancouver BC, and had 4 extra days so I flew here instead of Seattle. I still remember looking at the little red dot on the map and thinking “Hmm, I’ll check it out.” I was enchanted when I got off the plane in May and could smell the trees. Everything was so green.
The following year I spent 2 weeks in Oregon, and the year after I simply moved here. I’ve never regretted it. I’ve been lucky enough to vacation in every state in the US and know that I live in heaven on earth.
