Your Brand New Website--Not

I'm in the throes of relaunching my website, and can't help but think of some advice Dave Barry had about real-life moving: Just light a match, toss it in your front door, and run. You may think it would be a horror to watch your house go up in flames, but the other way just drags out the pain. Where is the equivalent of that moving service that even unpacks your dishes on the other end, carefully placing each dish on its new shelf? I can't even get the commas in the right places. And I hate… Continue

Thanks for everything, Marlena. You and Krissy rock as well! With so much rocking between the 3 of us, it's a wonder there's no tsunami yet. LOL!

Hi Dr. Marlena,

I recently joined Global Success network and see that you are also part of this group . I have been in business as a dentist for over 30 years. Recently, I decided to expand my network through social networks and groups like Ning.

I would like to invite you to be my personal friend on Ning

In that I am new to Ning, if you have any recommendations of how to optimize this opportunity to network, I would appreciate it.

I am very excited to be releasing a business and success book in mid December. I recently had my newest website developed and am getting into the world of blogging.

If you get a chance, please visit my website at www.JoeCapista.com

Have a great day.

Dr. Joe Capista

Hi Marlena!

I'll ask my bank on the best way to do it. There's only 2 other kids left I haven't found a sponsor for yet. Then, I'll tell you the most reasonable way to transfer funds directly to them. Thank you, thank you so very much. You don't know what this means to the kids. I want to cry because I never expected anyone to help them. I was just taking a chance. I figured I had nothing to lose anyway by asking. The worst that could happen was no one would reply. Thank you so very much again. :)
