Hi Ladies!

I need your help. I have put together a Holiday CD, complete with Spoken Word and Music. It's a project I started working on before the book promotion and now it's finally complete. If you've gone to my website recently and listened to "Who Stole My Body" you'll have some idea of how I mix spoken word with music.

I need a name for the CD. Here's what's on it:

"Twas the Night before Christmas" (music: Winter Wonderland)

"Not Only Christmas Day" beautiful poem written by a woman named Mary Fairchild www.christianity.about.com (music: What Child is This)

"The Birth of Jesus" (music: O Holy Night)

Plus TWO UPBEAT FUNNY HOLIDAY SURPRISES---"12 days of a Menopausal Christmas" and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

This project has been on my heart for awhile. It's just my way of giving back because of the blessings I've received.

O.K...so here's the deal....If you come up with a name for the CD and it's chosen (I think I'll let my husband make the decision), I'll give you a free copy AND donate a portion of the proceeds to YOUR favorite charity. I already have one of my own that I'm planning to donate to. I expect to sell 100,000 of these CD's & downloads so your charity will love you love you love you love you.....

So, that's it. I'd like to have a name by Sunday so I can start the promotion on Monday. You can come up with as many names as you can think of.

As always I appreciate your support!


Peace & Blessings,

“I’m not a writer because I wrote a book. I wrote a book because I was inspired by God.”

Oh my, I think it's really hard to think up a name without hearing the CD first. Maybe Beverly, you could suggest titles, and we just pick one?

That's a thought. I've posted my request on a couple of other sites and they're coming up with some pretty good ideas so maybe I'll just share them over here and see what you think.

OK...here are some suggestions:

1. Saving Christmas
2. The Soul of Christmas
3. The Christmas Ballad
4. Deep In the Heart of Christmas
5. Compassionate Christmas Blessings
6. Benevolant Blessings
7. Whatever! Listen It's Christmas
8. Spirit Yearning
9. Songs & Words from the Heart
10 Heartfelt Inspirations

“I’m not a writer because I wrote a book. I wrote a book because I was inspired by God.”

What about taking a favourite phrase from one of the songs on the CD and using that as the title? (for example, "Not Only Christmas Day")

I like 10, but maybe would shorten it to Heart Inspirations, or change it to Heart Inspirations for Christmas.

I find it nearly impossible to name something so important with never having heard it. I nwish you the best if luck finding your title.

Even though I don't think Christmas is a Whatever topic, you may want to use the word in the title to continue with your branding.

Here is the first thing that came to mind Dotsie
'Seasonal Sojourn for the Soul'

Po

Um what is Sojourn? I couldn't find it in the dictionary. should I buy an Irish dictionary? hmmmm

I agree with Dotsie...Keeping "Whatever" in your marketing line, allows buyers to see a conection. Actually it's a good marketing strategy.

How about:
Christmas, WHATEVER it's worth.

Thanks ladies...I will include your creative suggestions.

Now since Chatty Lady has brought this up, I'm looking for 3 people who would be willing to review a sample of the CD and write a SHORT review. It won't be the whole CD so I'll take about 5 minutes of your time.

Who's willing? It will be available for you listening pleasure (or distaste) on Saturday.

Peace & Blessings,
