Hey there, friends! I have some incredibly exciting news to share with you all today. If you’ve been following my journey here at Power Selling Mom, you know that I am always looking for new ways to grow, evolve, and tap into my creative side. Whether it’s finding that one-of-a-kind vintage piece or mastering the latest AI tools to scale a business, I’m all about staying busy and staying inspired.

Lately, I’ve been diving deep into the world of publishing. It started as a passion project, especially around the time I hit the big 65! I wanted to create things that bring joy and utility to people’s lives. After the success of my “Turning 65” activity books and the “Chill Like a Capybara” series, I realized how much I love creating tangible products that people can hold in their hands.

That’s why I am so thrilled to officially announce my latest release: “The Ultimate Guestbook: A Fun Airbnb Guest Book with Games, Prompts & Memory Pages for Vacation Rentals, Cabins & Short-Term Stays.”

If you are an Airbnb host, a VRBO owner, or you manage a cozy cabin in the woods, this book was designed specifically with you (and your guests) in mind.

Why the World Needs a Better Guestbook

We’ve all seen them, those dusty, generic guestbooks sitting on a coffee table in a vacation rental. Usually, they have a few lines for a name, a date, and a “Thanks for having us!” comment. While those are fine, they don’t exactly scream “unforgettable experience.”

When people go on vacation, they want to make memories. They want to laugh, share stories, and feel a connection to the place they’re staying. As a host, you want to provide an experience that earns you those five-star reviews and keeps people coming back year after year.

That is exactly where The Ultimate Guestbook comes in. I wanted to move away from the “sign-in” mentality and move toward an “interactive” experience. I wanted to give guests a reason to actually pick up the book, flip through the pages, and leave something meaningful behind.

Not Your Typical Sign-In Book

So, what makes this book different? Honestly, it’s all about the fun factor!

The Ultimate Guestbook is packed with more than just blank lines. It’s an interactive journey for your guests. Here’s a peek at what’s inside:

• Engaging Prompts: Instead of the usual “Comments” section, I’ve included prompts that encourage guests to share their favorite local spots, the best meal they had during their stay, or a funny story from their trip.
• Interactive Games: Ever had a rainy day at a vacation rental where the Wi-Fi was spotty? This book has games built right in! It keeps guests entertained and adds a layer of hospitality that goes above and beyond.
• Memory Pages: There is dedicated space for guests to truly express themselves. Whether they want to draw a quick sketch of the view from the porch or write a heartfelt note about their family reunion, there’s room for it all.
• Advice for Future Guests: This is my favorite part. Guests can leave “pro-tips” for the people coming in after them, like which coffee shop has the best lattes or which hiking trail is the best for sunset views.

High-Quality Design for Your High-Quality Rental

I know that as a property owner, aesthetics matter. You spend a lot of time making sure your space looks perfect, so you don’t want a flimsy notebook cluttering up your decor.

That’s why I chose premium specs for this release. The Ultimate Guestbook is a beautiful 8.5 x 11 hardcover book. It’s sturdy, it feels significant in your hands, and it looks fantastic on a coffee table or an entryway console. With 120 pages, it has plenty of room to hold years’ worth of memories from hundreds of guests.

The hardcover design ensures that it won’t get dog-eared or damaged easily, even with heavy use. It’s a keepsake for you as a host, too! Imagine looking back five years from now and reading through all the wonderful things people said about your home.

From Reselling to Publishing: The Connection

You might be wondering, “Danna, how does this fit in with Power Selling Mom and reselling?”

It’s a great question! For me, e-commerce has always been about identifying a need and filling it. In the reselling world, we look for items that have value and story. In the publishing world, I’m doing the same thing, creating “new” items that carry value and help people tell their stories.

The mindset is exactly the same. Whether I’m teaching you how to spot valuable vintage clothing or showing you how to use AI to optimize your listings, it’s all about providing value.

Actually, if you’re a reseller who also manages a short-term rental (and I know many of you are!), this book is a perfect example of “niching down.” Just like we find a niche in the Punta Gorda consignment market, I found a niche in the hospitality industry for a guestbook that actually does its job.

How to Use “The Ultimate Guestbook” to Boost Your Reviews

If you want to get noticed in the competitive world of short-term rentals, you need to focus on the “little things.”

When a guest walks into your rental and sees a beautiful, professional guestbook waiting for them, it sets a tone. It says, “I care about your experience, and I want you to have fun here.”

Here are a few tips on how to “bump it up” and get the most out of your new guestbook:

1. Leave a “Starter” Note: Be the first one to write in it! Leave a welcoming message on the first page.
2. Pair it with a Treat: Place the guestbook next to a small bowl of local chocolates or a map of the area.
3. Mention it in Your Welcome Guide: In your digital or printed house manual, mention that you have a fun, interactive guestbook and you’d love for them to play a game or leave a memory.

Guests love feeling like they are part of a community. When they read the entries from previous guests, they feel connected to the history of your home. It creates a warm, “homey” vibe that corporate hotels just can’t replicate.

Join the Creative Journey

I’m having so much fun with these published books! It’s been a wonderful way to expand the Power Selling Mom brand and connect with a whole new audience.

If you’re a fellow creator or an entrepreneur looking to scale your business using modern tech, don’t forget to check out my community, AI for Resellers. It’s where I share all my secrets on using AI to handle the “boring stuff” so you can focus on the creative projects you love, like writing books or decorating your Airbnb!

Spread the Love!

I am so grateful for all of your support over the years. Whether you’ve listened to The Power Selling Podcast or used my tools for resellers, you are the reason I keep doing what I do.

If you know someone who owns a vacation rental or is just starting their journey as a host, please share this post with them! And if you pick up a copy of the book, I would be so honored if you left a review on Amazon. It really helps independent authors like me get noticed.

• Danna’s Favorite Reseller Resources

The post Make Every Stay Unforgettable: Introducing “The Ultimate Guestbook” by Danna Crawford appeared first on Power Selling Mom aka Danna Crawford eBay Expert.

Reading Time: 8 minutes

You probably know me best for my years in the trenches of eBay, helping folks navigate the world of e-commerce, and teaching the “how-to” of reselling. However, as I reached a major milestone recently: turning 65!: I decided it was time to branch out and share another side of my creativity.

Over the years, I’ve learned that being a successful reseller isn’t just about knowing your margins or mastering keywords; instead, it’s about keeping your mind sharp and finding ways to de-stress after a long day of sourcing and shipping. That’s exactly how my journey into the world of self-publishing

Overall, I’ve put together a collection of books on Amazon that reflect my love for fun, education, and mindful living. Whether you’re looking for a laugh about getting older, a way to keep the kids busy, or a place to record your biggest business dreams, there is something here for you.

Why I Started Creating Books

When I hit the big 6-5, I realized that I wanted to create things that would bring a smile to people’s faces. In the reselling world, we are always looking for “the next big thing” to sell; however, sometimes the best thing you can do is create something of your own.

Each of these books was designed with a specific purpose in mind. For instance, some are for pure relaxation: because let’s be honest, after wrestling with a difficult customer or a pile of unlisted inventory, you need a break. Additionally, others are educational, aimed at the next generation of explorers.

Below, you’ll find my current catalog. Overall, I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

1. Turning 65 Activity Book: A Fun Celebration

Turning 65 is a big deal! It’s the age where you start thinking about retirement (or in our case, maybe just refining the side hustle). Consequently, I wanted to create something that celebrated this milestone with humor and engagement.

The Turning 65 Activity Book is packed with puzzles, brain games, and coloring pages designed specifically for those of us entering our “golden” (and busy!) years. Specifically, it’s a great way to keep your brain active while having a little laugh at the quirks of aging. Whether you’re buying it for yourself or as a gift for a friend who is hitting that magic number, it’s guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment.

Key Features:

• Challenging puzzles that keep the mind sharp.
• Funny prompts that relate to life at 65.
• Relaxing coloring designs to help you unwind.

2. Winter Sports Coloring Book for Kids (Ages 8-12)

If you have kids or grandkids, you know how important it is to keep them off the screens and engaged with something productive. So, I created the Winter Sports Coloring Book to combine creativity with a love for the outdoors.

This isn’t just a simple coloring book. In addition, you’ll find a fun, educational mix of winter sports—everything from skiing to ice hockey. Since it’s designed for ages 8-12, the pages are a bit more detailed to keep older kids interested. Overall, it’s a great companion for a cozy snow day or a long car ride.

Why kids love it:

• Action-packed illustrations of their favorite sports.
• High-quality paper that works with markers or colored pencils.
• Encourages an interest in physical activity and sportsmanship.

3. Chill Like a Capybara: The Ultimate Stress Reliever

Have you seen the capybara trend? These animals are the masters of “chill,” and I think we could all learn a thing or two from them. Unfortunately, in the fast-paced world of e-commerce, stress can pile up quickly.

The Chill Like a Capybara coloring book is part of my relaxation series. Specifically, you’ll see these adorable animals in various peaceful settings. According to Wikipedia, coloring can act as a form of meditation, reducing anxiety and improving focus. Consequently, this book is my gift to you to help you find your “zen” after a long week of sourcing.

Why you need this:

• Adorable, high-quality illustrations of the world’s most relaxed animal.
• A great way to practice mindfulness.
• Perfect for both adults and teens.

4. Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids

“Kawaii” is the Japanese culture of cuteness, and it has taken the world by storm. Plus, I’ve always loved the simple, happy aesthetic of Kawaii art, so I put together a book that celebrates all things cute.

The Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids is filled with happy snacks, cute animals, and smiling everyday objects. Additionally, it’s designed to be upbeat and positive, making it a perfect rainy-day activity. If you’re looking to stock up on birthday gifts or just want to treat the little ones in your life, this is a crowd-pleaser every time.

What’s inside:

• Simple, bold lines that are easy to color.
• Dozens of “super-cute” characters.
• A positive, uplifting vibe on every page.

5. Dream Journal: For Self-Discovery and Business Planning

As a business mentor, I always tell my students that if they don’t write down their goals, they’re just wishes. However, even beyond business, understanding your dreams and your subconscious can lead to amazing breakthroughs in your personal life.

The Dream Journal is a dedicated space for you to record your thoughts, feelings, and the dreams you have each night. In other words, it’s a tool for self-discovery. By tracking your patterns, you can gain clarity on what you really want out of life and your business. For instance, I use mine to jot down those middle-of-the-night “aha!” moments that often turn into my best business ideas. It’s amazing what dreams can reveal.

This is also available in Hardback or Paperback.

How to use it:

• Keep it by your bedside to catch dreams before they fade.
• Use the prompts to reflect on your daily wins and challenges.
• Track your progress toward your big, “scary” goals.

The post Books by Danna Crawford (Power Selling Mom) appeared first on Power Selling Mom aka Danna Crawford eBay Expert.

Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes

You only turn 65 once. It is a milestone year that brings a mix of emotions: excitement for the future, a bit of confusion over Medicare paperwork, and hopefully, a lot of laughter. If you know Danna, you know she doesn’t do anything halfway. Whether she is teaching you how to make your eBay listings stand out or navigating the latest e-commerce trends, she brings a unique energy to everything she touches.

Today, we are popping the virtual champagne because Danna has officially launched her brand-new book: “Turning 65 Activity Book: Funny Medicare-Themed Puzzles, Coloring Pages & Games.”

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes note, just for you: Danna is turning 65 herself in just two months. Yep—this isn’t some random side project. She created this book as a personal celebration of that milestone, and as a way to share the humor (and hard-earned wisdom) she’s picked up along the way—especially the stuff nobody warns you about until you’re staring down Medicare paperwork and thinking, “Wait… is this real life?”

Published by Power Selling Mom Publishing, this book is the perfect companion for anyone entering their mid-sixties who wants to keep their brain sharp and their sense of humor intact.

Why an Activity Book? Why Now?

You might be wondering why a reselling expert and e-commerce coach is jumping into the world of activity books. The answer is simple: staying active isn’t just about listing items on a Friday night. It’s about keeping your mind engaged and finding joy in the little things.

As we navigate side hustles for women over 50, it is easy to get bogged down in the technicalities of shipping rates, SEO, and inventory management. Sometimes, you just need to put the phone down, pick up a colored pencil, and laugh at the absurdity of aging.

Danna created this book to bridge that gap. It’s a way to celebrate the “Big 6-5” with a smile rather than a sigh.

A Sneak Peek Inside: What’s Waiting for You?

This isn’t your average, boring puzzle book found in a hospital gift shop. This is a curated experience designed specifically for the vibrant, modern 65-year-old. Here is a look at what you’ll find inside the pages of the Turning 65 Activity Book:

1. Funny Medicare-Themed Coloring Pages

Let’s be honest: the Medicare enrollment process can feel like a full-time job. Danna has turned some of those “gray hair moments” into hilarious coloring pages. It’s therapeutic, it’s funny, and it’s a great way to de-stress after a long day of sourcing inventory.

2. Brain-Boosting Puzzles and Sudoku

Keeping your mind sharp is vital, especially when you are managing a business. The book includes challenging Sudoku puzzles and brain teasers that will give your cognitive skills a workout. Think of it as “gym time” for your brain.

3. Word Searches and Mazes

Who doesn’t love a good word search? These are themed to reflect the life and times of someone turning 65 in 2026. From nostalgic throwbacks to modern-day quirks, these puzzles are designed to keep you entertained for hours.

The Perfect Gift for the 65-Year-Old in Your Life

Do you have a friend, family member, or fellow reseller who is about to hit the 65-year mark? We all know how hard it can be to find a gift that isn’t a “over the hill” cliché. This book is the perfect solution. It’s practical, entertaining, and shows that you truly understand the journey they are on.

You can grab your copy right now on Amazon: Get the Turning 65 Activity Book Here!

Beyond the Book: Building Your Empire at 65

While this book is all about fun and games, we know that many of you are also looking to grow your income and influence during your retirement years. Danna’s mission at Power Selling Mom has always been to empower you to take control of your financial future.

Whether you are looking for 5 great reasons to sell items online or you want to dive deep into strategies for tailoring your online sales approach, Danna is here to guide you.

For those of you who have followed Danna’s journey from eBay expert to e-commerce mastermind, you know that she is always looking for the next way to serve her audience.

Whether you are sitting on the porch at your coastal retreat in Punta Gorda or taking a break between packing up eBay orders, this book is designed to bring a little extra joy to your day.

Why Humor Matters in Business

You might think that puzzles and coloring have nothing to do with running a successful e-commerce store, but you’d be surprised. Burnout is a real threat in the reselling world. When you are constantly chasing the next “flip” or worrying about what every e-commerce store needs to be successful, your stress levels can skyrocket.

Taking twenty minutes to solve a puzzle or color a funny Medicare-themed illustration helps reset your brain. It lowers cortisol and allows you to return to your work with fresh eyes and a better attitude. A happy reseller is a productive reseller!

Wrapping Up the Big Launch

We are so proud of Danna for this launch. It’s a fun, lighthearted, and truly useful tool for anyone hitting that 65-year milestone. Don’t wait until the birthday passes: get ahead of the game and grab a copy today.

Key Features Recap:

• Funny coloring pages that make light of the Medicare transition.
• Challenging Sudoku and brain teasers to keep you sharp.
• Word searches and mazes for relaxing entertainment.
• Reflection pages to document your journey.
• The perfect gift for friends, family, or yourself!

Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes

Have you ever sat down to watch the Winter Olympics and found yourself scratching your head? You see someone hurtling down a frozen track at 90 miles per hour on what looks like a fancy cafeteria tray and think, “Wait, is that the Luge or the Skeleton?”

If you’ve been there, you aren’t alone. I was right there with you! Watching the games recently, I realized that while I love the excitement, I didn’t actually know the “how” or “why” behind half the events. And if I was confused as an adult, I knew kids were probably having the same experience.

That spark of curiosity is exactly why I created my newest project: Winter Sports Coloring Book for Kids Ages 8–12. It’s finally live on Amazon, and I am so excited to share the backstory and the “cool” details with you.

The Long Road to Amazon Approval

I’ll be honest with you, getting this book out into the world was a bit of a marathon. If you’ve ever dabbled in KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), you know that Amazon can be a stickler for the rules.

I spent ages tweaking the cover to make sure it met their strict guidelines. There were moments when I thought the winter season might end before the book actually began! But persistence pays off. The cover is finally perfect, the interior is crisp, and the book is officially ready for your little champions to dive into.

More Than Just a Coloring Book

When I set out to design this, I didn’t want it to be just another stack of drawings. I wanted it to be an experience. I wanted kids to feel like they were learning something new on every page while they let their creativity run wild.

Here is a peek at what you’ll find inside:

1. 11 Exciting Winter Sports

We cover the classics like Ice Hockey and Figure Skating, but we also dive into the high-octane world of the Bobsled, Ski Jumping, and my personal favorite “wait, what is that?” sport, the Luge.

2. Full-Color Sample Pages

One of the most frustrating things for a kid (or an adult!) is staring at a blank page and not knowing where to start. To help spark that initial flame of inspiration, I included full-color sample pages. They show what the sport looks like in action, giving kids a jumping-off point for their own masterpieces.

3. Fun Facts and “Did You Know?” Tidbits

Each graphic comes with a matching fun fact. Did you know the word “Luge” is actually the French word for “sled”? Or that hockey pucks are frozen before a game so they don’t bounce too much? These little nuggets of info turn coloring time into a mini-lesson without the “boring” school feel.

4. Reflection Questions

I wanted to spark some imagination beyond just staying inside the lines. Each section includes reflection questions to get kids thinking. Questions like, “How do you think it feels to slide down the ice so fast?” or “What colors would your Olympic uniform be?” help them connect with the athletes and the action.

Why Winter Sports?

Winter sports are a testament to human grit and skill. They are about speed, balance, and bravery. By introducing kids to these sports through art, we’re opening up a world of possibilities. Maybe the next great figure skater or downhill skier is sitting at your kitchen table right now with a box of crayons!

This book is perfectly sized at 8.5 x 11 inches, making it easy for those ages 8-12 to handle. The illustrations are bold and clear, designed to be engaging without being overly complicated.

A Great Resource for Homeschoolers and Teachers

If you are a homeschool parent or a teacher looking for a screen-free winter activity, this is a total win. You can easily integrate these pages into a physical education unit or a “World Cultures” lesson during the Olympic season.

It’s an easy way to get kids off their tablets and engaged in something tactile. Plus, they’ll have a finished product they can be proud of when they’re done.

Let’s Talk About Creating Your Own Products

Seeing this book go live reminded me of why I love the e-commerce world so much. Whether you are selling physical vintage goods or creating digital-to-print products like coloring books, the thrill of the “sold” notification never gets old.

If you’ve ever thought about creating your own books or expanding your reselling business into new territory, you need the right tools and the right community.

I’m currently running a special membership called AI for Resellers. For just $6 a month (though that price might jump up soon as we add more value!), you get access to a community of like-minded entrepreneurs. We talk about using AI to streamline your business, creating listings that pop, and staying ahead of the curve in the reselling world.

Estimated Reading Time: 7 minutes

Let’s be real for a second. If you’re a regular here at Power Selling Mom, you know the “hustle” isn’t always sunshine and high-profit margins. Most days, it looks like a mountain of unlisted inventory staring you down, three “Item Not Received” claims in your inbox, and the constant, nagging feeling that you should be doing more.

I’ve been in the reselling game for a long time. I love it, I live it, and I teach it. But even the most seasoned experts need a way to hit the “off” switch. Recently, I found myself looking for a creative outlet that didn’t involve a shipping scale or a camera. I wanted something that was purely about relaxation, no deadlines, no algorithms, just peace.

That’s how Danna Crawford became an author in a whole new niche.

Today, I am so excited to introduce you to the first book in my brand-new series: “Chill Like a Capybara: A Bold and Easy Coloring Book for Adults and Kids.” It’s the first release in my CHILL Series, and it’s specifically designed for people like us who just need a minute to breathe.

Why Capybaras? The Ultimate Reseller Inspirational Animal

You might be wondering, “Danna, why capybaras?”

If you haven’t spent time falling down a YouTube rabbit hole of capybara videos, let me catch you up. These oversized rodents are the undisputed kings of “chill.”

Found on Amazon

In the world of e-commerce, we are often the opposite of a capybara. We’re reactive. We’re sprinting. We’re worrying about the next platform update. I realized that if I could channel just 10% of a capybara’s energy, my stress levels would plummet. So, I decided to create a capybara coloring book that captures that exact essence.

The Magic of a Bold and Easy Coloring Book for Adults

There are thousands of coloring books out there. You’ve seen them, the ones with the teeny-tiny geometric patterns that require a magnifying glass and a set of 120 expensive gel pens just to finish one leaf.

Don’t get me wrong, those are beautiful. But when I’m stressed, those intricate designs actually make me more anxious. I don’t want to worry about staying inside a line that is thinner than a strand of hair.

That’s why I focused on the “Big and Bold” style. This is a bold and easy coloring book for adults (and kids, too!) that features:

• Thick, Heavy Outlines: No more squinting! The lines are bold, making it easy to stay inside them and providing a very satisfying visual “pop.”
• Simple, Large Designs: You can actually finish a page in one sitting. There is a huge sense of accomplishment in finishing something beautiful without needing three days to do it.
• Single-Sided Pages: We’ve all been there, you use a marker and it ruins the drawing on the back. Not here. Every capybara gets its own dedicated page.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned colorist, these simple coloring books for relaxation are about the experience, not the technical skill.

How Resellers Can Reclaim Their Time (to Color!)

I know what you’re thinking: “Danna, I’d love to color, but I have 40 pairs of shoes to list.”

I hear you. That is exactly why I’m such a massive advocate for automation. If you are still doing everything manually, from writing descriptions to cross-listing, you are leaving no room for your mental health.

Have you ever had a “lightbulb moment” that was immediately followed by a “palm-to-forehead” moment? That’s exactly what happened to me recently. As many of you know, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). It’s an exciting extension of my reselling business, allowing me to create digital assets that turn into physical products.

But even after years of being in the e-commerce game, I still manage to learn new lessons the hard way. Today, I want to pull back the curtain on my very first book project, the Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids Ages 4–8, and share a major lesson I learned about branding that might just help you in your own business journey.

The Secret Identity Crisis

When I first sat down to create this book, I was over the moon. I’ve always loved the “kawaii” aesthetic, those super cute, wide-eyed characters that originated in Japan. I knew I wanted to create a cute animal coloring book that was perfect for little hands. I spent hours Curating the best designs and making sure the lines were thick and the drawings were engaging.

But then, I hit the “Publisher Name” field on Amazon.

For some reason, I got a little shy. I thought, “Well, I’m the Power Selling Mom. People come to me for eBay tips and reselling strategies. Will they really want to buy a coloring book from a ‘Power Selling Mom’?”

In a moment of overthinking, I decided to create a brand-new pen name/publishing house: Quiet Mind Publishing. It sounded peaceful. It sounded professional. It also sounded like… nobody.

And if you’re curious what I actually published during that whole “what am I doing?” phase, here’s the book: Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids Ages 4–8 on Amazon.

Why Branding Matters (And Why I Kicked Myself)

A few weeks after the book launched on February 16, 2026, it hit me. I have spent decades building the Power Selling Mom brand. You know me, you trust me, and we’ve built a community together. By hiding behind “Quiet Mind Publishing,” I was essentially starting from zero. I was throwing away the most valuable asset I have: my reputation.

If you are a reseller or an entrepreneur, you know that your brand is your promise to your customer. Whether you’re selling a vintage McCoy cookie jar on eBay or a kawaii coloring book on Amazon, people buy from people they know.

I realized that “Power Selling Mom” isn’t just about selling on eBay; it’s about the power of being an independent seller and creator. My mission is to help you find ways to grow your income, and that includes showing you the ropes of new ventures like KDP.

Needless to say, my future books are all going under Power Selling Mom Publishing. Lesson learned: Stick with your brand. Own your work. Don’t let “imposter syndrome” make you hide your light under a generic bushel!

A Closer Look at the Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids

Despite my branding blunder, I am incredibly proud of this book. It was my first “baby” in the publishing world, and I put a lot of heart into making it the best coloring book for kids ages 4-8 on the market. If you want to peek at it (or grab a copy), you can check it out right here: Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids Ages 4–8 on Amazon.

If you have little ones: or if you’re looking for the perfect gift: here is what makes this book special:

1. 60 Simple and Fun Designs

I didn’t want a book that was so complex it would frustrate a four-year-old. This book is packed with 60 different animals. We’re talking playful puppies, cuddly kittens, jungle friends, and even sweet ocean creatures.

2. Big, Bold Lines

One of the biggest complaints parents have about coloring books is that the lines are too thin, making it hard for kids who are still developing their motor skills. I made sure these designs have thick, bold outlines to help children stay inside the lines and build their confidence.

3. Single-Sided Pages

Is there anything worse than a child using a marker and having it bleed through to the masterpiece on the next page? I designed this book with single-sided pages to reduce bleed-through. Plus, it makes it easier to tear out a page and hang it on the fridge!

4. The Perfect Format

The book is a large 8.5 x 11-inch format. It’s big, it’s easy to handle, and it provides plenty of space for creative expression. (And yep—if you want the exact one I’m talking about, it’s right here on Amazon.)

Balancing the Hustle: How I Do It All

You might be wondering, “Danna, how are you running a reselling business, managing a Florida rental property, doing notary work, AND publishing books?”

The answer is simple: AI and Community.

I don’t do this alone. I use AI tools to help me brainstorm, organize my thoughts, and even help with the heavy lifting of content creation. It’s the only way to scale in 2026 without losing your mind.

In fact, I’m so passionate about these tools that I started the AI for Resellers membership. For just $6 a month, I share the exact prompts, tools, and strategies I use to manage my multiple business ventures. It’s a small investment that saves me dozens of hours every single week.

The post My First Lesson in Branding: The Story of My Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids appeared first on Power Selling Mom aka Danna Crawford eBay Expert.

I would wake up in the early morning with vivid scenes still fresh in my mind. Some dreams felt peaceful, others deeply emotional, and a few left me confused. Yet each one carried a sense of importance.

I didn’t believe dreams were random. I believed they had hidden meaning.

Back then, I didn’t have a structured way to capture them. I would try to remember details throughout the day — and most of the time, they disappeared.

That experience stayed with me for years.

And it’s exactly why I created my Dream Journal: Capture, Reflect & Decode Your Dreams for Clarity and Self-Discovery, now available in both hardcover and softcover editions on Amazon — and also listed in my Etsy and eBay shops for those who prefer to purchase there.

This journal isn’t just about writing down dreams.

It’s about understanding who we are.

What Happens During REM Sleep?

Dreaming most commonly occurs during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, a stage where brain activity becomes highly active — sometimes almost as active as when we’re awake.

During REM sleep:

• The brain processes emotional experiences
• Memory consolidation takes place
• Creative thinking increases
• The subconscious becomes expressive

Sleep researchers have found that REM cycles occur roughly every 90 minutes throughout the night. The longest and most vivid REM periods typically happen in the early morning hours — which explains why many people remember dreams right before waking.

That matches my experience perfectly. Most of my dreams happen just before I wake up. And that window is short. Very short.

Why We Forget Our Dreams So Quickly

Studies suggest:

• The average person has 3–6 dreams per night.
• Nearly everyone dreams — even if they don’t remember them.
• About 50% of a dream is forgotten within five minutes of waking.
• Up to 90% can disappear within ten minutes.

That means your mind creates detailed emotional stories — and most of them vanish before breakfast.

Unless you capture them.

That’s where a dream journal becomes powerful.

Why I Created This Dream Journal

When I was in college, I used to wake up trying to decode my dreams.

I often found myself analyzing the details.
The appearance of certain people.
The significance of specific locations.
And the intensity of the emotions involved.

I began noticing patterns.

Sometimes my dreams reflected stress I hadn’t consciously acknowledged.

Sometimes they highlighted fears I was ignoring.

Other times, they revealed excitement, creativity, or ideas that hadn’t surfaced while I was awake.

But I also realized something frustrating:

If I didn’t write them down immediately, they disappeared.

So I created a journal designed specifically for:

• Capturing dreams immediately upon waking
• Recording emotions connected to the dream
• Identifying recurring symbols
• Reflecting later in the day
• Decoding patterns over time

This isn’t about superstition. It’s about awareness.

Why Dream Journaling Supports Self-Discovery

We spend nearly one-third of our lives sleeping.

Dream journaling invites you to explore that third of your life instead of ignoring it.

Dreams can:

• Process emotional stress
• Reflect daily experiences
• Surface unresolved situations
• Spark creativity
• Reveal subconscious concerns
• Inspire new ideas

Even difficult dreams can provide insight.

Dreams frequently mirror daily thoughts and emotional experiences. They may expose issues we have not consciously addressed or simply help the brain process information. Whether symbolic or practical, each dream contains clues about your internal world.

How to Start Dream Journaling Tonight

Starting is simple.

1. Keep Your Journal Within Reach

Place it beside your bed — not across the room.

2. Write Immediately Upon Waking

Even fragments matter.

Capture:

• People
• Places
• Emotions
• Symbols
• Colors
• Dialogue
• Physical sensations

3. Focus on Feelings

Your emotional reaction is often more important than the storyline.

4. Revisit Later in the Day

This is where insight develops.

Ask yourself:

• Does this connect to something in my current life?
• Is there stress I’m not addressing?
• Is there something I’m excited about?
• Is this a recurring theme?

Reflection turns recording into growth.

Common Questions About Dream Interpretation

Do dreams really have meaning?

Some psychologists believe dreams are emotional processing. Others believe they assist with memory consolidation. Many experts agree that dreams reflect internal states, even if not symbolic in a mystical way.

Why do I only remember dreams in the morning?

REM sleep periods lengthen toward morning, making dreams more vivid and easier to recall briefly.

Can journaling improve dream recall?

Yes. Studies show that simply intending to remember dreams increases recall frequency.

What if I have recurring dreams?

Recurring dreams often point to ongoing emotional themes. Writing them down helps identify patterns.

Are nightmares important?

Nightmares can signal stress or anxiety. Recording them may reduce emotional intensity and improve awareness.

Dream Journaling as a Healthy Mental Habit

Dream journaling can become:

• A mindfulness practice
• A stress-awareness tool
• A creativity enhancer
• A self-reflection habit
• A path toward emotional clarity

It requires no special belief system. Only curiosity. Only willingness to observe. And that’s powerful.

Available in Hardcover and Softcover

The Dream Journal is available in:

• Hardcover for durability and long-term use
• Softcover for lightweight convenience

You can find it on Amazon, and it is also available through my Etsy and eBay shops.

A Podcast Episode Is Coming

This topic is meaningful to me — so much so that I’ll be dedicating a full episode of the Power Selling Podcast to:

• My personal dream experiences
• How journaling changed my perspective
• The science behind REM sleep
• How dream reflection ties into personal growth
• Why awareness matters at every stage of life

Dreams are conversations with ourselves. And I believe it’s time we listen.

The Bigger Picture

We focus so much on productivity.

• On business.
  – On responsibility.
  – On daily obligations.

But growth also happens in quiet reflection.

In those early morning moments before the world wakes up. Dream journaling is not about predicting the future. It’s about understanding the present. Each dream — good or bad — is part of your story.

When you capture it, reflect on it, and decode it, you gain clarity about who you are and how you move through the world. And that awareness is one of the most powerful tools we can develop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dream Journaling

What is a dream journal?
A dream journal is a notebook used to record dreams immediately upon waking to improve recall and encourage self-reflection.

Why do we forget dreams so quickly?
Most dreams fade within minutes because short-term memory quickly replaces dream imagery once we wake.

Does dream journaling improve self-awareness?
Yes. Recording and reflecting on dreams helps identify emotional patterns and recurring themes.

Is REM sleep when most dreaming occurs?
Yes. REM sleep is the stage when the brain is highly active, and vivid dreams are most common.

“the final, highly active stage of the sleep cycle, occurring about 90 minutes after falling asleep. Known for vivid dreaming, it features fast-moving eyes behind closed lids, increased brain activity (similar to being awake), increased heart rate, and temporary paralysis of voluntary muscles to prevent acting out dreams.
