Days before Halloween in 1979, my wife, Dallas Morning News reporter Judy Williamson, met famed author Stephen King at Dallas Love Field. It is one of the few interviews he has ever granted.

King met her on a layover while promoting his fifth book, The Dead Zone.

What Judy learned was more shocking than the plot twists in his scary novels.

King directly and indirectly suggested four charms for a successful career and, believe it or not, a cheery life.

Laugh at the everyday demands of six children? Jennifer Fulwiler does with comedy success.

She has six children born in eight years, drives a minivan, and lives in a three-bedroom house with her husband in Austin, TX.

Instead of feeling trapped by six complicated pregnancies, she overcame what most folks call limitations by finding and firing up her blue flame.

Your blue flame is your natural talent in action, making the world beautiful.

Nothing can hold you back if you follow Jennifer’s fundamental principles for success.
