Just in case you missed this. In a hurry? Jump to the story and video now.

Hi ,

Whenever a message from the honorable Dr. Neal Barnard pops up in my email, it always brings a measure of anticipation and happiness.

Such was the case when this came in this week – and of course I had to ask him right away if I could share the news and his note with you. To which he responded, “feel free!” Here is his note:

Hi, Lani,

Here’s a fun thing: CarbonWorks’ song, “Louder than Words” is now on the U.S. radio Top 40 list (actually #17 now). I’m hoping it will lead people to the video, which is all about kindness and compassion.

You were the first to release this!

All the best, your “Uber driver,”

–Neal

The full story, PLUS the music video to go with Dr. Barnard's composition is up on the Blog now.

Beautifully filmed, full of positive imagery from the lives of animals, and with Dr. Barnard's composition as backdrop, I hope you'll come by and not only enjoy, but leave a note for the good doctor in comments. I haven't yet told him the video is up there as a feature, and think it would be so much fun to make it so that when he comes by (which he will as soon as I send him the link!) to see some comments from all of us who appreciate his work so much.

Hope to see you there.

Love and all best wishes for your health and happiness!

Lani

P.S. Thanks to you, The Mindful Vegan jumped into "#1 new release" for her category on Amazon this week! Still 4 months from publication, these numbers can jump around a lot in the weeks going in. But popping to the helm like this early on is so good for a title and I thank you! Preorders help so much. To recap from last week, here's how:

1) Pre-orders help the book - When it comes to the publishing world, one pre-order of the book is not the same thing as one regular purchase of the book. In fact, pre-order sales determine how many bookstores will stock the book, and how many copies of the book they purchase. So your pre-order of The Mindful Vegan is a huge help to expand the reach of the book.

2) You just might get the book early - Often when you pre-order a book online, you will actually receive it a few days (sometimes weeks) before the official publication date!

4) Free goodies - I know that October 10 feels very far away, so all pre-orders are eligible for the exclusive gifts you will read about on the pre-order page.
