5 Steps to Making your Dream Come True
1. Look into your heart
Think about what you need to be happy -- what you want to change, accomplish, or find. Once you've decided on a dream, promise yourself to start making it come true.
2. Set your goals
Make a list of small steps that will lead you toward your dream. Congratulate yourself each time you achieve one of your goals, no matter how small it may be. Know that every step is leading the way to success.
3. Let others help you
The encouragement, support, and inspiration others give you is invaluable.
4. Believe in yourself
There may be times when you want to give up, but don't listen to the voice of doubt. Stay strong and remind yourself that you can do anything.
5. Keep your dream close to your heart
Never forget what you are striving toward. Imagine how wonderful it will be when your dream comes true. That vision will keep you moving in the right direction. Keep your head up, keep your dream in sight, and let your heart lead the way to success.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 2007-8
As 2007 comes to a close, we celebrate a sensational year. Despite all the buzz in the news about toys made in China and safety issues, sales were up for our team. We reassured our customers of the independent testing that is done to insure that our toys are non-toxic.
Lisa S earned the incentive trip, and she, Simone W and I will all be receiving lots of free toys and $500 in cash at the Spring DT Kickoff in Pennsylvania March 7/8, 2008. Contact me if you'd like to join us there.
Starting January 1, we kick off our big sale event. Many of our favorites will be blowing out at 60% off to celebrate our 30th year! Board games like Timing it Right and Totally Tut will be selling for $9, Doubles Wild for $12, and a "nostalgia" version of the 1956 Chutes and Ladders game will be $12.
Orders at my site for over $50 can receive a refund on shipping cost if you email me your order confirmation.

Autism Donation Program
YOU CAN HELP!
DISCOVERY TOYS AUTISM DONATION PROGRAM
For every dollar donated through Discovery Toys Autism Support Program, we will donate a matching value in retail toys to Princeton Childhood Development Institute, (PCDI) a prominent school for autism research and intervention programs.
Here’s how it works:
Customers can add their cash donations to their toy purchase.
Please use the following item numbers to add donations to your order:
#8895 $10.00
#7762 $ 5.00
#7760 $ 1.00
Important Details:
Discovery Toys will ship up to $10,000 retail value of products to PCDI.
Donations will be accepted through December 31, 2007.
Because these donations are being made through Discovery Toys as a third party, they are not tax deductible. The advantage to the customer is knowing that in addition to her donation, PCDI will be receiving a donation of product from Discovery Toys equal to the amount collected.
Not available through our shopping cart. Email me for further instructions.

Billie Jean King:
"It’s all about what you want to look back and say. You can look back and say, ‘I could have been…..’, polishing your unused endowments like trophies, or you can look back and say, ‘I gave my all for the things I valued.’ Think about what you want to look back and say. Then choose your mindset."

The Pearl Team
The Pearl Team (the Discovery Toys downline of Billie Elias) occasionally receives The Pearls of Wisdom newsletter. Each issue contains a quote from some wise seer, offered to motivate or inspire the Pearl Team. A recently published "pearl" was from Aristotle:
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.”
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.”
