I’m looking forward to the Doodle Dye patent to come through and to assembling the team that will help me take the business to the moon. Doodle World will be a fun place where you can find “All Things Doodle”. The Doodle World web site will be built soon. We will have a kid safe game area and lots of Doodle Products. This will all be gearing up to opening the first brick and mortar “Doodle World” childrens interactive retail store.

The web site for “Doodle DYEnamics – Building the Family Team” is already up and running.Families that work as a team have a better chance of sailing through the teen years with far less problems.


We are on a campaign to get families to sit down together at least once a week for a minimum of 30 minutes and have a meaningful conversation. We offer FREE tools to help the family get started. Just go to
http://DoodleDYEnamics.org and give us your first name and the email address you want us to send it to. It will be delivered immediately.

Doodle Wear web site is already up and running.

The products are already available. We have Doodle Wear t-shirts, Doodle Wear baseball caps and Doolde DyeKits in stock.

Here’s how it works. Two things have to happen to get a young grandmother. The first mom (our soon to be grandmother) has to have had a child at a very young age. That’s the first step. But now the child she gives birth to has to also have a child at a very young age. There you have it. A very young grandmother!

For example a relative of mine was 16 when she had her first child and that child was 16 when she had her first child. Do the math. Yep, my relative became a grandmother at 32-years-old! But it went even farther! That grandchild had a child at 16. What do you get? A great-grandmother at 48-years-young!

My second grand-baby and me

I was a young mom myself  and I told both my boys, “Do Not Make Me a Grandmother Before I’m 40!” They didn’t listen. I became a grandmother twice (once by each child) by the time I was 39-years-old.

Children having Children! Do you see the cycle? Can the cycle be broken? If so, how? Where do we begin?

It begins with the family of course. I think meaningful communication starting at a young age is the key. I don’t mean talking about sex to your two year old. I mean sharing personal information amongst the family. Do your kids really know who you are and what your beliefs are? Do you know theirs?  Is your family your TEAM? Will they support you in whatever you choose to do? Will they help you move forward and succeed? Are you there 100% for them?

If you don’t have a team you’re all alone. I’m willing to bet that 9 times out of 10 those young moms are just looking for their team. I know I was.

My family life was pretty lonely. I wouldn’t call my family a TEAM. I was taught, “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” That just doesn’t sound like team work to me. Even though it sounds logical it still sounds lonely to me. Our dinner table conversation consisted of, “Did you do your chores?” or “Did you do your homework?”. We were talked to, not with. I really don’t think anyone cared much about what the others were interested in or doing at the moment.

So take a look at you family. Are they your TEAM?

Feel free to leave a comment. I’d really like to hear your story.

Hi,

My name is Gayla Kilbride and I’m 62 years old this month! But hey! The 60′s are the new 50′s, Right?

I wasn’t sure what to call this blog because I’m not sure of what I want to be when I grow up. I have quite a few interests and a lot of projects. I’ve been trying to focus on just one or two but the others keep sneaking back in and stealing my time. I think I have finally whittled it down to just four items on my “to do” list.

They are; (1) Write one short story per week about my late husband, Bert Kilbride, and post it to his website http://BertKilbride.com (2) Create a blog at http://CosmicEngineers.com and write one post per week about my Cosmic Engineers, (3) Create another blog for Doodle Dynamics at http://DoodleDynamics.com and write at least three posts per week about Positive Communication for Families with children and (4) add at least 3 new post per week on this blog about what I’m up to and where I’m going. This should be FUN!

And with all that I’m still hoping to find the time to continue to listing stuff on eBay to sell. ( http://stores.ebay.com/Doodle-Wear )I have three storage units that need down sizing!

Until next time  . . . . . . Live Life to Your Fullest!

Hi everyone,

OK, I’ve started my book and so far the title is “Doodle Dynamics – Building Children’s Self-Esteem through Their Imagination – The Unintentional Secret”. I know, I know. It’s a long title and it will probably change. But for now that’s it.

Over the course of getting ready to write the book I have been listening to people and taking their advice. One person I listen to said to write the back cover of the book first because that should say what the book is about. It should tell the reader what to expect.

Dr. Wayne Dyer said that when you’re ready to write your book the very first thing you should do is to create the cover. Both front and back with the spine. Then print it out and wrap it around a real book of the same size. Set it on your desk where you can see it for inspiration every time you sit down to work on it. So here’s a photo of me and my finished mock book . . .

I Love the fact that I can actually see the “finished” copy. It really is an inspiration to have it sitting on my desk. Thanks Dr. Dyre!

As it turned out I ended up printing a bunch of copies of the cover. I didn’t know what to do with them all until I got the idea to fold them and line them on on my book shelf as if I already have had them published and have a number of them on hand for friends or for sale.

Lookin' Good! Lots a books.

Lookin' Good! Lots a books.

I plan on keeping this blog updated as to how the book writing process is going.

So until next time be healthy, happy and always grateful!

Just about the time I think I have the perfect plan a new avenue presents itself.

A year and a half ago it was just Doodle Wear, a product that I was going to produce and wholesale.

In April of this year it turned into a Children’s Interactive Retail Store called Doodle World. We will carry all things “Doodle” with Doodle Wear being our exclusive product. That means Doodle Books, Doodle Toys and Doodle Wear.

I created “Doodle Dynamics” as the interactive component. Children will come into Doodle World and create their own Doodle Wear from start to finish.While I was trying out Doodle Dynamics on some willing kids I saw the look on their faces and I realized how it helps build a child’s self-esteem.

Just this week it has been decided that we are too late to open the store in time for the Christmas season without being rushed. So while my partner continues to look for capital I will start marketing Doodle Dynamics and Doodle Wear.

The way I plan on doing that is to write a book about Doodling and Self-Esteem. Then I will start blogging about “Doodle Dynamics”. I will write and submit articles for magazines and e-zines. I will do a ton of Internet marketing that will build the BUZZ.

When we open our first Doodle World store in June of 2010 people will already know what we are about. “Building Children’s Self-Esteem through Their Imagination”.

My goal is to get this business up and running and making enough money so that I have the time to write another book called, “Legends or Lies – Bert Kilbride – The Last Pirate of the Caribbean”.

Right now I am busy writing my first book, “Doodle Dynamics – the Fun Way to Help Build a Child’s Self-Esteem”. I will be looking for endorsements from people who have experience in any field that might involve Children and their self-esteem. If you or someone you know might be interested please contact me through this blog.
