Jillian Coleman Wheeler just sent me the below. I hope nothing like this ever happens to you. Meanwhile, her daughter needs our help. Thank you. – Joe
Something has happened in our family recently – it’s the biggest thing on our minds now, and I wanted to share it with you.
My daughter is a single mom with four children.They came home a few days ago to find their home engulfed in flames.
Although their two little dogs were killed in the fire, and they are heartbroken about that, they themselves are all safe.
There are no words to express how grateful we are they’re all right. And they really are.
They’ve lost everything, and every few days the children remember another favorite toy that’s gone, or – today – part of a Halloween costume they must replace.
But they are surrounded by friends and family, and they are okay.
Allison’s friends have set up a webpage with more information:

Please send them your prayers.

On Saturday I received a beautiful signed photo from the gorgeous Jessica Biel, star of the TV show Seventh Heaven and the movie The Illusionist.
She wrote –
“Thanks, Joe! The Attractor Factor helped change my life!”
As the author of the book that changed her life, you know that touched me deeply.
My favorite signed photograph before Jessica’s was from actor James Caan, the star of The Godfather and the TV show Las Vegas. I was in his Las Vegas TV show lot trailer when he wrote —
“To Joe, you’re a big pain in the ass.”
James Caan is as likeable in person as he seems to be on the screen, so I didn’t mind at all that he jokingly (?) called me a big pain in the rear. He laughed, and so did I.
In both cases, the stars made their signatures stand out by personalizing them in an authentic way. It revealed their personality. And it was memorable.
If we all did that, we’d all be remembered.
I have autographs from everyone from boxer Mulhammid Ali to daredevil Evel Knievel to bodybuilder Frank Zane to magician Lance Burton to a very sexy Playboy bunnie.
But the ones I remember most are the ones who personalized their signatures.
I also have rare books signed by their authors, including ones by Neville and even P.T. Barnum.
My favorites are the ones where the authors added something personal right before their signature. Even though I never met the authors and don’t know the people they were writing to, their special effort makes the books more valueable to me.
I think we can learn from this.
For example, when you hand out your business card, always write something personal on the back or front of it.
Just don’t write, “You’re a big pain the ass.”

PS – Michelle Malone – the singer who played in my home a week ago – hasn’t sent me an autographed picture of herself yet. But I also haven’t asked for it. A secret of life is to ask for what you want. When I was talking to James Caan, I asked for a signed picture. When I heard Jessica Biel liked my book, I asked for a signed picture. Asking is good.

Yes, I was on the Larry King show.
Yes, I held up my book, The Attractor Factor, on camera.
Yes, I told Larry right on camera about my 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM exotic sports car named Francine.
Yes, I openly disagreed with the other panelists about one answer.
But did Larry King slap me for any of that?
This picture, found on James Ray’s blog, seems to suggest he did.

Nerissa just posted a short video from last Friday’s private house concert here where Michelle Malone sang a brand new, unreleased and unrecorded song for my assistant, Suzanne, as a birthday present.
The song is beautiful.
The setting is intimate.
Most of Michelle’s songs are more hard-driving. This one is laid-back, poetic and heart-felt.
Take a look and get a sense of why Michelle is my favorite singer and songwriter.
You can find it on my video blog at http://drjoevitale.blogspot.com/
(What? You didn’t know I have a video blog?)
It’s also on YouTube at http://youtube.com/watch?v=–6P7UeljcM
Ao Akua,
PS – In case you are wondering, Michelle gave me permission to record her house concert here, and she gave Nerissa permission to post the video excerpt. Enjoy.
