As a young girl I was always determined to live my dreams and enjoy life. After high school I decided to further my education and go to college to pursue my degree in Business Administration with a concentrated effort in Operational Management: Management Information Systems.

After I received my degree, I then started seeking out a better, more "feel good life," for my daughter and myself. This led me to seeking out positive things like emerging myself into motivational speeches, seminars, self-growth books, and more positive people. That shift gave me the mental resources which helped me live a more positive life. After learning that being positive affects every aspect of your life including getting ahead in life, I began to ask myself a question, "How can I try and change the world in a way that benefits society?" The answer became clearer once the question shifted to, "What if I can help children at an early age learn how to have a richer life, through positive teachings and becoming better leaders?" That question ignited a pivotal change in my life. So, I decided to resign from my job at the time as a manager and start a home daycare and daycare center. I named them Positive Kids Positive Futures Learning Academy Inc. I & II, "Where How Your Child Starts Out Matters!" I Initialy started the academy in my home to test it and ultimately developed a love for it so added the center on as well. Over time, I saw children in my care truly grow from the positive teachings and great curriculum my staff and I instilled in them. This then motivated me to take it a step further and to move forward in becoming an Author by writing my first children's book, "Aniya & The Power of A Positive Kid!" I hope you all enjoy!...

Klappentext

The Hamilton brothers have horse racing in their blood, and their sprawling Kentucky farm is the family's pride and joy. But they've got plenty of passion to spare... Nick Hamilton has always known he'd take the reins of the family business when his father died, but that doesn't make it any easier when the time comes. Especially with his two siblings tempted by a shrewd offer from a huge corporation to buy Hamilton Industries. Needing advice, Nick turns to his sensible childhood friend, Becca Stark-and finds her suddenly grown-up beauty ignites brand-new confusion, and crystal clear desire... Becca has loved Nick for as far back as she can remember, but she decided long ago that telling him would be a mistake. Stubborn, strong Nick doesn't see her as anything but the tomboy she used to be-or does he? As she helps him untangle his feelings about the ranch's future, the familiar bond between them heats into an explosive attraction-and the kind of love that just might take the lead... Praise for Melissa West's Racing Hearts "An emotional story filled with heart, humor, and second chances, Racing Hearts is a love letter to small towns, southern pride, and the heartbeat of all tight communities-its strong families.
