Happy 2021 everyone! It’s hard to believe it’s been four days since I’ve posted. Lots has happened since I last posted (aside from the obvious in Washington D.C. yesterday) that I’d like to catch you all up.
Mindful Moments Community
The sales of Mindful Moments are exceeding expectations and we’re building a growing community of people around the mindfulness concepts presented in the book. If you’re on Facebook please join us by clicking here. If you've already purchased a copy I'd appreciate it greatly if you'd take the time to write an Amazon review.
Also, I’m very happy to share that the book is also being used by an addiction recovery program in southern California. The counselor will be reporting back to the Mindful Moments community regularly on how this is working for her patients. Once this FB group hits around 250 members I plan on migrating them here to Hive. We’re only about a 100 or so members away from this goal!
For those of you here on Hive that would like to join my brand new Mindful Moments Hive Community in preparation for the migration you can Click Here to join.
Mindful Moments NFT Release!
Some of you may have seen @opeheliafu’s post a few days ago announcing our first NFT for Mindful Moments on SuperRare. It's been a true joy to watch Ophelia's creativity in action and I'm anxious to see how this is received. We're treading new water here, I'm not aware of any book illustrations that have been turned into NFT's yet. Each of these illustrations will be paired with a book quote and will be, as the site hints SuperRare. Only one NFT for each illustration will ever be up for auction.
You can log in to SuperRare, connect a Meta-Mask wallet, and bid our growing list of original NFTs using Ethereum. Click Here to be transported to our very first NFT!
I Made My Choice!
I finally made my decision. I ordered a Van Moof S3 and it should arrive in March! I haven’t been this excited about something for quite some time. As many of you who read my blog on a regular basis know, I've been researching ebikes for the better part of the past year and narrowed my list of prospects down to three but I just kept going back to the Dutch brand, Van Moof. It brings me joy to know I'll be riding a little bit of Amsterdam.
I’m a firm believer in celebrating milestones and achievements in life. Some investments, probably some of the best ones, aren't made in the traditional sense – like stores of wealth, coins, or securities. I know I’ll get a 1000x return on this purchase in the form of sheer enjoyment. I’ll report back once I get it and have taken my first few rides.
I hope you all are well!
Eric
Most of us have experienced a moment of perfect peace at least once in our lives. In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel.
These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, Mindful Moments, will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you. Upgrade your life experience today for only $15.99 on Amazon.com.
Let’s Keep In Touch
Why don't you create a community here in hive than facebook?
You have many commentor I'm sure your group would grow
Since I have access to more active readers on FB the plan is to migrate them here and then create a community. I'll be creating the community here very soon.
I trust you

Happy 2021 to you as well my friend, let's hope this year brings with it better health even though it's nit starting off that well for the world!
BUT, I'm so excited for you with all that's happened with Mindful Moments, really wonderful, but then this gem of a book (sounds cheesy I know, but that's really what it is)
is so timeous and will certainly help many.
Take good care of yourself!
Thank you Lizelle! I'm really hoping things improve on the global health and political fronts as we get further into 2021.
It's been SO nice to be able to exactly spend time on promoting this book. I've always made the mistake in the past to just immediately jump to the next project because the actual creation part is the aspect I most enjoy. I've been experimenting with ads and such and it's made a real difference in the sales of this one.
Take care and it's always wonderful to hear from you!
That is pretty awesome! I remember when you first started posting about looking into ebikes. I think it was around the same time I was seeing a lot of them pop up on Steemhunt. I would still really like to get one at some point. I like the idea of it being manual, but still being able to help me a little if I need it. Plus just going full automatic and being a bit lazy is never a bad thing! Congrats on the selection and that is awesome news that the community is growing so much. 2021 is off to a great start! Well, except for the thing yesterday...
Hey! Yeah, it's been a while. I've researched the h@ll out of them. I love the combination of tech, design, and overall functionality in this one. It's not the fastest or cheapest but it seems to be the smartest. Time will tell, I guess. I dropped your book in the mail yesterday so you should have it by the weekend if the USPS does their job. I agree, 2021 seems better so far. We were glued to the TV the entire afternoon yesterday. It's so sad that it came to that. I'm all for peaceful protests, it's everyone's right to do so, but any "protestor" who damages property, hurts another person, or breaks into buildings should be immediately prosecuted.
Yeah, without getting into a huge debate, I don't really blame the people. I blame the enabling and the false narrative that led them to that. My biggest shock of the day wasn't the destruction of property as much as it was the lack of response versus the response to the actual peaceful protests this past summer.
I totally agree @bozz. The lack of response was startling and should be investigated.
I congratulate you on your achievements. I am super surprised on how things are going..
I wish you more speedy sales and also I pray this mindful community fulfils its purpose. I will be joining it now
Thank you @bhoa! Happy to have you joining the group!
hello dear friend @ericvancewalton good afternoon
Much good news in this post. good that book sales have exceeded expectations.
Very interesting that the book is being used to help overcome addictions
It is good to know that 150 people have already joined the Mindful Moments community on fb, you are close to starting the migration to our platform
I loved the choice of bicycle, enjoy it very much dear friend
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid afternoon
Good morning! I was so happy to have her reach out about using the book in her recovery group. It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds. I have a feeling that managing these communities will be one of my biggest responsibilities of 2021. It's been fun so far but I need to research ways to spark more engagement. Thanks, I can't wait to get the bike. Hopefully it's delivered on time and in working condition. About 10% of this brand is delivered with problems so it will be the luck of the draw. Thankfully the company stands behind their product and will fix any problems but I'm hoping for zero issues out of the gate. Thanks for your comment my friend. Have a great day!
