ADRIA
HILBURN MANARY
Author – Speaker
– Singer/Songwriter – Entrepreneur
Adria Manary has a unique blend of talents, many of which she is now
devoting to helping individuals and companies reach their highest potential,
while giving back to the world. Her company, Magic of Life Enterprises,
produces books, products and seminars that assist people in finding and
enjoying the true magic in everyday life – thus becoming happier and more
productive individuals. She has made
television appearances on the Sally Jessy Raphael show, MSNBC, and many local talk shows nationwide, such as Good
Morning Oregon and Fox Morning News. She has also been interviewed on numerous radio
shows across the country and has been featured in many newspapers and magazines,
including a story in Women’s World magazine and the front page of the Family section
of the Cincinnati Enquirer. She now hosts her own show on World Talk Radio
entitled, The Mommy Magic Show.
After earning degrees in both Communications and Psychology from
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Ms. Manary started her
career as the first woman on the marketing communications team at Westinghouse
Headquarters. One of the projects that she helped to create and execute won the
Gold Award at the New York TV and Film Festival. After leaving Westinghouse,
she became the Vice President of Marketing for a small food company. From there
she started a sports production company that hosted events in ten cities,
raising corporate funds for the Special Olympics. The program was so successful
that she was offered the Director of Development position for New York Special
Olympics, where she raised over a million dollars for them. Adria moved back to
Washington to marry and decided to try real estate, where she became the
rookie of the year and sold an actual castle! Throughout all of her career
changes however, she never stopped writing, which is her true passion. Thus,
after having her first precious baby, she decided to live out her dream of
writing for a living - partly because of her passion and mostly because she
could not bear the thought of leaving her child! Since that decision, she has
had two more beautiful children and written four books: Kennedys – The
Next Generation; Touched By A Rainbow; Mommy Magic; and More
Mommy Magic. She is also a contributing author to the series of books
entitled: Hot Chocolate for the Mystical Soul; as well as: The
Ugly Truth about Small Business and The Heart of A Mother. In
addition, Adria created and published the Washington Fun
Times newspaper and has written numerous articles for other
publications. She speaks nationwide on the subject of parenting and has
recently added a new topic to her list of presentations entitled, More Heart…More
Money, which
provides meaningful ways to improve customer service and increase customer
loyalty. In addition to print media, she wrote most of the lyrics and music for
her CD, Precious Souls. Although Adria is a woman of many
talents who has held many impressive titles, her favorite and most important
title will always be, “MOM!”

Having interviewed over 100 moms and having three
children of her own, Ms. Manary speaks not only from book research, but also
from experience and heart. She has received many glowing testimonials about her
work from newspapers, magazines and most importantly - other moms. Here is
what a few of them had to say about her book:
"As a mother of a one-year-old little girl, I have
read many, many books and articles on parenting in the past year or so. Your
book, MOMMY MAGIC, is by far the most touching, inspirational and idea-filled
book that I have come across. Thank you for making a difference in my
life." |
"I was feeling completely overwhelmed by the 24-7
aspect of motherhood. Fortunately, my neighbor gave me your book and I stayed
up all night reading it. I can't thank you enough for giving me back the true
feeling of what being a mother means, along with the tools I needed to face
another day with my three young, adorable, but demanding children!" |
"I didn't know you could sing, too! When I heard you
sing “The Magic of Love” from your Precious Souls CD, my little girl and I
both cried." |
