     Making money with PLR, private label rights, online is not only possible; but, it is making some people large amounts of money every day of the week.  How in the world do those successful affiliate marketers do it?  Sometimes PLR products appear to be less than stellar quality; and yet, even those products are what these marketers call a diamond in the rough.   Private label rights products have the ability to become products of great value, with a little re-work or re-purposing of the materials.   Still, a free webinar…is that too good to be true?  Not in this case!  http://bit.ly/cbXxdO 

       Successful internet marketers, Jeff Wellman and Paul Counts, are on the cutting edge with the technique of teaching individuals live and in great detail internet marketing techniques on their live webinars.   Their webinars are not canned, nor are they presented without interaction with their students.   This free webinar, $100 a day affiliate marketing system, is full of  content.  It is a webinar that really, and truly, gets down to the nuts and bolts of how to take a PLR product, and add value by re-working it.   Then, taking that new product and rebranding it into a product that you can be proud of.   With this process that Jeff and Paul teach, you simply sell it as your very own polished product that your customers find to be worth spending their hard earned cash on.

        Many people just don’t believe how much they learn from these two personalable  marketers until they hear it for the first time.  In fact, over and over again they receive notes in their support telling them that what they are doing is changing lives because of the kind of teaching that they put out their for their online students.  You probably won’t believe it either until you listen in.  If you have tried and failed to sell PLR products online before, then you need to hear this for yourself.  http://bit.ly/cbXxdO 

         The webinar is on March 10, 2010 at 9:30 pm ET.  You won’t believe how far, or in-depth Jeff Wellman and Paul Counts go in teaching important techniques regarding their $100 dollars a day Affiliate Marketing System.  This webinar is all about PLR.  Remember, this webinar is FREE. http://bit.ly/cbXxdO

*For those of you who care to know…that link is an affiliate link and even though the webinar is free…should a reader of this blog click on it and purchase a program through the $100 dollars a day affiliate marketing system in the future…I would be financially compensated for it later.  Thanks for reading!

      This week, a woman received alot of attention because she chose to document her abortion in real time on Twitter.  I won’t mention the womans name because I feel like if I do that I am giving her more of the drug (called attention) and that is not something that i want to do.  However, I do think it is important enough of a subject that it does warrant a commentary on the whole idea of using social media as a vehicle to voice controversial subjects/actions; and, the impact that it has on American society.

       First off, I want to say that I did not join in or comment on her Twitter stream because I don’t think that she is looking so much for conversation about her choice to abort a pregnancy, as she is looking for agreement with her right to do so, as well as some notoriety.  She says that she was looking for support from her friends during the abortion. 

        See, the back story is that this woman has a 4 year old special needs son.  She lives with the child and her boyfriend (the father of this child she is trying to abort).  I wonder what he thinks…if he is as much in support of the public abortion as she is?  In her twitter stream she called this child she was carrying a “thing”, a thing that didn’t have sex organs yet; in relationship to another twitter persons tweet for life. 

         I am trying to imagine what a man would think about his child being called a thing?  What about grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins or the woman’s young son when he grows up…how do, or will, any of them feel about this abortion?  Should their opinions count?    How does abortion impact those who are in relationships with people who choose abortion as their path?  Does it create issues between them if they are in disagreement with the choice to have an abortion?

     My thoughts and prayers are with Marie Osmond and her family because it was reported today that she lost her son to suicide last evening.  Michael Blonsil has struggled allegedly with depression for quite time.  During the time that she spent on Dancing With The Stars her son was admitted to a rehab; the reason was never discussed publically however, Marie made a statement at the time that she loved him, he was a good son, and that she was proud of him for facing his issues.

       It was said that Michael left a note saying that he planned to kill himself because of his depression.  He said it made him feel like he had no friends and didn’t fit in.   This is so tragic; he was only 18.  Michael is one of Marie and her ex-husband Brian Blonsil’s eight children.  He was adopted as well as several of the other children.  It has not been revealed to the public what sort of issues that Michael had been dealing with over the years…and maybe it should never be information for the public to know.  Those issues were private…and even though some of the Osmonds are very public people…they have a right to privacy as they grieve.

       I do know that when you are an adoptive family, you often live under a microscope.  People feel free to judge or to freely give advice on raising those children to the parents who have chosen to add them to their family.   It adds a level of interferrence in the raising of adopted children who are being grafted or blended into an existing family.  This is sometimes no easy feat; especially if the children happen to be a bit older when the adoption takes place.  I can only imagine how much more difficult the situation is when there is fame involved with the adoptive family.

        Depression is a big challenge and unless you have some personal relationship with the issue…it can be hard to understand.   However, Marie herself struggled with post partum depression after giving birth to one of her children.  It can severely affect not only the individual who struggles with it…but anyone who loves them.   It is important to get help if you are dealing with depression.  Many people don’t realize how serious it can be.  Sometimes depression is a chemical imbalance and medication can help; other times, other therapies can be helpful.  Talk to a health professional right away if you or someone you care about is struggling with depression.

        I can only hope that the media will respect this family as they try to deal with the loss of Michael.  Suicide leaves a lot of damage for the survivors left behind.   There will need to be some major healing time for this family.   May God help them all.

       Please, if you are someone who struggles with depression or suicidal thoughts; or, you know someone who is…please seek immediate help by checking out this site:  http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  or by contacting a health care professional.

Just wondering if anyone reading this has stumbled around in the darkness looking for the light?  It seems lately that life events have evolved in a such a way that while living a regular life it seems that the darkness has intruded.  Family and friends have been going through trials and challenges that have seemed insurmountable.  It has touched us and made us sad and fearful of what will happen next in the journey.

Some of those trials and challenges have been self made and others are of the variety that that seem to be the result of stumbling around in the darkness looking for the light switch only to step in someone else’s mess…you know the kind of mess…the kind that you need to scrape off of the bottom of your shoe.  There are repercussions and consequences in each of those situations and at times, all seems lost and hopeless.  It is hard not to let it affect you if you are a caring person who can’t bear to see those you love suffering.

Bully For You!

For many of you as soon as you get past the next paragraph or so you will decide that this article isn’t for you…it doesn’t apply because maybe you dont have a teen or don’t work with teens or young children.  I ask you to keep reading anyway.   I titled this article Bully For You because there is a dangerous trend going on in American society today…it is a trend of bullying.   Bullying is becoming more aggressive than it used to be and it was never a good thing.   It is happening in grade school, high school, college, the work environment; and, believe it or not…even in nursing homes; in fact, it is happening everywhere in- between as well.   If you are old school in your thinking regarding bullying…let me educate you…ignoring a bully doesn’t work; beating them up doesn’t work.  So what does work?

Bullying is more complicated these days because of the way in which it is done; it is psychological, it is persistent, and it can include threats, violence, or even sexual threats.  Most people over the age of 40 remember the school bully…you know the one.  He/She was the person who everyone feared and gave a wide berth to just because he sought out and picked on those he/she knew for a fact that they could take on and win.  We all have had some relationship to that kind of person.   However, now it seems that there is a group mentality when bullying or persistent harassment starts up.

  Back when i was growing up you had one of two options…ignore that person and stay far away from them or “stand up to them” and work up your courage to go toe to toe.  Remember the childhood phrase that we were all taught…sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you?  That couldn’t be farther from the truth; we all know that words have the power to destroy a person’s self-worth and the value of that person in the eyes of others.

Everyday it seems that we hear about another child/teen/college student that has been bullied or cyber stalked and trash talked about.  Many of those cases either end in a suicide or a violent attack or even in some cases of extreme bullying…a retribution plan of attack on a school with a violent outburst.  Lives are ruined, hearts and minds are damaged; many individuals end up in prison because of bullying.

 A real danger is people who think that bullying is a normal part of growing up…it isn’t and it should not ever be allowed.  Making excuses and telling a victim of such behavior to just ignore it is equal to nullifying their experience with bullying…which in effect tells them that they are powerless to change their circumstance in a positive way.

     A friend of mine made me aware of her latest project to use her voice and her time to make the world a better place.  She is in the process of trying to secure a $250,000 grant to bring her program Definitive Voices to television to help non-profit, organizations and agencies bring positive changes to the world by educating people through it’s program about issues and solutions.  Why can’t television be used to build people up instead of tearing them down through sarcasm, pranks, or other destructive means?

       In any case, Jessica Angelique who is on Twitter as @DefinitveVoices and as @Jesicaangelique is a person who shines a light on organizations and non-profits that help people better the world through better living conditions, better self-esteem, and through building people up, one person at a time.  She is a strong voice for cancer-livestrong organization, for children, clean water, self-esteem & empowerment, and for foster care.  She is an author and a speaker; and, she is not afraid to connect to people who are in the position to effectively make changes that open the doorway to a better life for thousands of people everyday.   She puts her money where her mouth is and donates money to help children in foster care.

        She needs your help to win this grant.  Pepsi is running a voting contest and you can go here to register and vote to help her to implement her vision in a large way; should she win the vote.  http://www.refresheverything.com/definitivevoices  Once you arrive there, at the bottom of the screen there will be a sign in spot.  Sign in by entering an email and create a password.   She is entered to win the $250,000 category to educate.  Please help.  Lives will be changed and improved and children will especially be blessed. 

        Jessica has connections with people from all over the globe who are like minded; it will be a powerful television show.  Again I say, why can’t television be used to build people up instead of tearing them down?  Be a vessel of empowerment…please register and vote daily until the 28th of February, 2010.  It is very important to do this; you won’t be sorry that you took the time to do so!

Haiti And Stone Soup

      Can I just tell you that every day there is some new heartbreak in the news about the horrible things that are happening in Haiti.  Those are real situations and people are really suffering.  It is important to know of these things to make people aware so that people in the positions to help will do so.   That pretty much means most people reading this blog post; whether it be giving money, donating time, creating an awareness, organizing shiploads of emergency supplies or medical personel.    Contacting trusted organization like the Red Cross is another way to be charitable; you can find them here:  http://www.redcross.org/

        There is extreme hunger, thirst, a desperate need for shelter and personal safety…and again, a huge concern for predators intent on inflicting the horror of human trafficking/modern day slavery on the men,women and children caught in the natural disaster that is the earthquake that Haiti has suffered.  Good things are happening too, but we don’t hear as much about that…but, we need to so that those helping to make a difference see that goodness can come out of tragedy.

         But there are at least two positives that I want to point out, one is a miracle of another survivor who was found 15 days after the earthquake; a 17 year old girl, now that is a miracle!  The other positive is a pat on the back for those that I saw on a news report who have had next to nothing to eat & drink; and yet, some of those same people have been sharing with their neighbors the last of their valuable items of food and drink.  It reminded me of the old story, Stone Soup…Haiti is creating stone soup.

     For those of you who don’t remember the story of  Stone Soup; it is a story of a travelor who wanders into a village and teaches a lesson about working together and having compassion.  The travelor is hungry and has nothing to eat so he asks a woman for some food.  She denies him because she says she has nothing to give him.  The travelor has a large pot but nothing to put into it.  However, he asks the woman if he can use her fire for cooking and he goes to the well to get water for the pot he carries on his shoulder. 

        Curious, the woman asks him what he is going to cook.  He tells her stone soup.  He looks around the yard and finds a nice smooth rock.  He cleans it off and drops it into the pot of water that is heating up on the fire.  After some time, he tastes it and the woman asks him, how does it taste.  He says well, it is not done yet.  Then he mentions that normally he would add some carrots but, he doesn’t have any.  The woman’s young son says that they have a few carrots in the side garden.  The mother gives her ok to go get them and add them to the pot if he will share with her family some of his stone soup; he agrees and the child gathers the carrots to add to the pot.

This past week Haiti was devastated by an earthquake at Haiti’s capital city, Port au Prince.  There has been alot of damage, horrible amounts of loss of life; and financial devastation to the people of Haiti who can ill afford to take any more loss of income.  In Haiti, the people are among the poorest of the poor around the world; when compared to the land of plenty, in more properous nations.

Nations around the world are moved towards a sensitivity to the suffering of the Haitian people.  Money and donations of life saving supplies are poring in however, getting the supplies to the most devastated areas are difficult.  There is so much destruction and people are desparate.   Medical care is critical and people have been being treated in the street and in tents.  There is, and has been, a thin line between life and death.  

 Compassion is the fuel that moves people from merely hearing the news of the suffering and becoming involved and committed to doing what each person can to help.  Many people are giving money, some are donating their skills and talents or their time-volunteering to help the people of Haiti.  I read an article that made me question peoples awareness of their sensitivity towards others in need and their own need for a moment when life goes on in spite of what is happening around the world.  Continue Reading »

     I have been thinking alot about the word heros.  I know that probably sounds a bit odd but there is good reason for my thoughts.  Part of my reason for thinking on the concept of heros is because my husband and I work with the young children of our church and we are spending a month studying on “Super Heros”.  Most of us have grown up with cartoon super heros who showed us super hero powers such as flying, or leaping over buildings, climbing up walls with spider webs coming from their hands, super strength and a whole variety of other special skills.

         It got me to wondering what it is about heros that attracts us to them; what are they made of.   Why do heros do the things that they do?  Most of the time heros are fighting for justice, in other words fighting against the bad guys/gals, trying to protect other everyday non-heros from harm.  I think as we grow up, our understanding of what a hero is changes a bit.  I think we are attracted to the goodness in a hero or their ability to protect and to serve.  It is admirable and desirable to be capable of doing the right thing, for the right reason.

          In my mind, a hero is someone who does something unexpected in a challenging way that helps/protects/inspires/encourages another person who is not in a position to do it for themselves at the time.   A hero is someone who makes a split second decision to reach out and make a difference even if the cost is high-such as a stranger who rushes to protect another person from a crime, a threat, a bad decision, or a moment of danger.
