Time for the Monthly Post

Oh my dears, forgive me!  It has been far too long since I have written here, and the time has come for me to pull myself together and take this a lot more seriously.

It is true confessions time, and there are so very very many of them to make.  I know it will take more than one post, as I have some stories for you.

First of all, I love writing -- it's nothing I ever really feel blocked about, and I haven't been writing long enough to be burned out.  So what happens?  Am I just a lazy, bad thing?  No, alas -- I used to think I was, but that was before I understood I had Bipolar disorder -- the one thing Herbalife cannot fix.  I'll tell you, if they could they would, because this stuff could fix just about anything.  But I digress.

I felt I needed to talk about what it is that makes me periodically disappear, because I am so stoked about what we've experienced with Herbalife that I want to write about it, and the benefits that I can see for all sorts of health issues with all sorts of people.  It isn't just about the weight.  It's the whole body, the whole system, that transforms itself.  If I could upload it into my poor disordered brain I would.  But I fear I cannot.

And sometimes I get depressed, and it is hard to write or do much of anything.  But -- I have opened some floodgates for myself re advertising -- a bundled package with AT&T Yellow Pages -- or yellowpages.com -- which includes a hosted website, SEO, traffic driving and the like for the Megalopolis that is the Greater San Francisco Bay Area: Santa Rosa to Santa Cruz!  Sooo I'd better get on my game, and make this a more regular thing.  

It's kind of a bipolar thing to blitz out into the mainstream, all sparkly and ready to roll -- and then the energy goes away and you crawl back into bed for a year or two.  Oh I wish I were kidding.  But the time has come to try to change some MORE patterns.  And I truly want to make a more disciplined approach to this blog.  Plus I want Patrick, my dearly beloved, to contribute as well.  I am saying this to you so that I will have to come up to it.

Plus I have just signed on over at a really fun place called "Sponsored Tweets" -- a lot of my traffic comes from my two twitter accounts and the 3500 followers I have there.  Sponsored Tweets connects people up with advertisers.  The Twitter Nation is now filled with scads of mini-copywriters, everyone trying their hand at finding just the perfect phrase to describe a product in that 140 character parameter.  It's a really fun way to pick up some extra cash, and I really want to recommend this to you! 

So let's just say I am really just beginning.  Soon this blog will be hosted on something a wee bit more professional than blogspot, as I am ready to focus more of my energy on Internet marketing in all of its glory.   I have never been so interested in anything in my life --  not professionally, not ever.  So I have a few great things shaping up for me -- products I truly believe in, a place to write for (o jason at politicus I'm not ready yet forgive me!), and I'm almost ready to put up a product website!  The last one truthfully sucked, and I could not bear to be associated with it. 

We're still going to get out those emergency nutrition packsWe are getting cloth bags -- made of a light  muslin.  We were going to call them Emergency Nutrition Packs but I'd rather call them "Adventure Packs" and focus on the hikers and campers and festival goers -- our great land is full of people who know how to have fun!  We can put together a little something nutritionally to make your experience much easier, and I'll be showing you soon!


I promised myself I would only write a few things and a few paragraphs tonight, so that I would have to come back and tell you the really big discoveries I have made in the last two months WITHOUT MY NORMAL SUPPLY OF HERBALIFE GOODIES.  ICK!  Seriously, just ick -- that's all you have to know until later!


Love, Julie
