Happy Thanksgiving 2013

By | November 28, 2013

Happy Thanksgiving! I realize that only about half of Eric’s Tips readers are in the USA, but gratitude transcends all borders.

And happy Hanukkah! Supposedly these two holidays won’t eclipse again for 79,000 years, so that’s pretty special 🙂

First, I want everyone reading this to know that I’m thankful for YOU. Without you, Eric’s Tips wouldn’t exist.

Here’s a small free gift as a token of my appreciation. It’s a 43-page niche ebook that I recently created, as a result of my wife’s newfound passion for essential oils. It has never been released before.

You get to download it for free today WITH Master Resale Rights. You can sell it or add it as a bonus to any product.

Next, here is the 6th annual Eric’s Tips Thanksgiving contest!

Wow, this is the 6th year we’ve done this!

It’s a good thing to express your gratitude for what you’re thankful for. In fact, it’s been shown to have health benefits.

So once again, we are going to do a group exercise to demonstrate our thankfulness.

All you have to do is post a comment below saying something you’re thankful for. It could be one word, or it could be much more… it’s up to you. If you need some inspiration, feel free to check out the comments from the past five years: 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008

    I am thankful for so many blessings in my life, I have been taking about 15 minutes a day to reflect on them and meditate on gratitude — instead of racing through my entire day.

    Here, I would like to thank you for being an example of an ethical marketer. I am also thankful to you for the amount of content you share on your blog and in your products.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Thanks, Eric, for the Essential Oils eBook. I’m giving it to my wife, and in her still new biz, she may use it as a gift/giveaway. She’s big into EOs, and I’ve gotta say… before meeting her several years ago, it was one of those things I sort of scoffed at, thinking it most likely more hype than help. But I’ve been converted – I’m a believer! Seriously, she’s used it on a couple few problems I’ve had, and have been healed from, thanks to her mixtures of different oils. Thanks for all you do to help us with our own ventures and blogs. Happy Thanksgiving!

    I am thankful for all that I have, too many things to list without leaving someone or something out ?
    I want to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving and may the good Lord bless all of us with many more!

    Sitting down with friends and family today, there will be thanks for the steady currents, flowing out of the past, that have brought us to this table. There will be thanks for the present union and reunion of us all. And there will be prayerful thanks for the future. But it’s worth raising a glass (or suspending a forkful for those of you who’ve gotten ahead of the toast) to be thankful for the unexpected, for all the ways that life interrupts and renews itself without warning.

    I am so grateful that I got to know you and your wonderful TIPS this year. Well done and full of important information! I am also grateful for the super life I am living. My days are filled with fitness, variety, great people, loving family, fun and enjoyment. Great contest, and yes, gratitude is so important and healing!

      Just really starting with online stuff, a little lost, well, a lot lost, but trying. I appreciate the essential oils book. I have been using oils for years until money got funny. Essential oils are powerful and holistic tools for the body, air, and awakening dormant senses. I love jasmine, frankincense, and myrrh the most, but there are others. Again HT, and appreciate your sincerity.

    Gratitude. I am thankful for the way things are in the writers world today. Kindle, the Internet, support services (think Aweber, Fiverr) allow me to be successful in my writing career. The possibilities are endless!

    I am truly thankful that for the past month, that I have woken up everyday I have woken up after suffering a brain hemorrhage and now on the road of recovery. God saved me that night.
    It is truly humbling when the doctors and nurses tell you that you should have died or at least survived with complications…. But I serve an amazing God. I have not finished what He created me for.

    Happy Thanks Giving Everyone!

    I am grateful to be alive, learning to live in gratitude and positivity as I find new ways to become more than I ever thought possible. I am grateful for my husband, family and friends. I am grateful for the abundance I see in the Universe, and the love which abounds.

    I am thankful for being given the ability to help children this year. I am working with children who have or will go throught a grieving process over a loss. It has changed my life and I look forward to being able to continue for many more years helping others. Thank you Eric for the belief in all of your “customers / fans”. You inspire and change lives as well while maintaining an honest beautiful life with your family. For those reasons I am also thankful for you. God bless and have an incredible 2014!

    Thanks, Eric, for the Essential Oils pdf! I’m very interested in essential oils but have never taken the time to look into them. I have just glanced through your pdf, but it looks like a great place to start the learning curve on essential oils. My 87 yr old mother is living with me and developing dementia and I’m hoping maybe the essential oils might help her mind a little – and maybe even my sanity!

    Anyway, thanks for all you offer to struggling internet marketers such as myself. Besides everything else I’m thankful for, I’m also thankful for the legitimate marketers I’ve found online, including yourself, that are genuinely interested in helping others make money online. Happy Thanksgiving!

    I am so grateful for your pure and honest content. So much wealth in all you do. Also this year I have been able to take in a homeless person that has several health problems. He has turned out to be quite a cook. Blessings to all.

    I am thankful for God’s faithfulness to my family, sustaining us through extreme adversity. I am thankful for God sustaining my wife who suffered a heart attack in 2009 which left her in a coma and she has not fully recovered from it…YET. But God is faithful and continues ministering to her and through her. I am thankful and grateful that God has preserved me as well. Right before my wife was stricken, I was diagnosed with prostrate cancer which God healed me of. Subsequent to that I was hospitalized with acute kidney failure on three occasions. Long story but God brought me back from that. I am thankful that for knowing that through it all the bigger picture is about God and what He is purposed for our lives. There is no victory without opposition and there is no overcoming without something to come over. Medically speaking neither of us should still be here but God… each day is a day of giving thanks.

    I am thankful I am here to live another day, to get or give another hug or a smile or a word of encouragement. I am thankful to be here – to say thank you – and mean it! I am thankful for life in all its glory and for all the experiences that are the core of my existence – of who I am and who I can be. I am thankful!

    I am thankful for my daughter and her two children who have stood by me during this very dark time in my life. I am climbing out of “the pits of hell” thanks to their support and encouragement. I am now the author I have always wanted to be for some many years. In spite of having everything and then losing everything I have a very good life. The most important people in my life I did not lose and they are worth all the riches in the world. Actually, they are the true riches of my life. They make waking up every morning worth while.
    Thank you Vicki, Ashtin, & Tyler.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you Eric and everybody!
    I feel blessed having my family that loves me and supports me and I adore. I am grateful for the few great friends I have who are always there for me. The thing I appreciate and feel happy about is stumbling across Eric’s lessons. I’ve been searching for information on how to create a (online) business on my own and the lessons came right on time! Thank you!

    I am thankful that in the UK there is no thanksgiving as eating a big turkey dinner twice in a month.I would probably be trying to lose the weight rest of the year.Think Guy Fawkes day Nov,5th(loads of fireworks) then Christmas not forgetting New Year( being Scottish how could I) is just fine.Also it gives the turkeys a brief respite.On a more serious note I am thankful that our armed forces on both sides of the Atlantic continue to keep us free from tyranny Regardless hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.

    I’m grateful for lifelong good health. I’m retired now but, in my 48 year working life, I only had to take 4 days off sick (3 of them to recover from a cracked rib).

    Grateful for every moment that I take a breath my heart still beats & that I get to be on this planet with free will to choose, create, experience while expanding our universe. Took me way to long to get to where I am happy in this present moment.

    All is as is should be. Happy Happy Happy
