Thoughts & Criticisms: When I was just starting to get into podcasting I was very impressed with this software (plus, the unbelievable FREE price).

Give Away of the Day is a wonderful home on the internet where everyday licensed software, I did come across this site (not sure where) but I never took much time to look at it.

But today’s freebie caught my eye

It’s a project management software which will work great working with my online business. I’m so excited I just had to share and I’m off now to download my free copy.

Oh and if you’re a parent it records all online conversations. That’s worth it to me in itself.

My friend and mentor Alice Seba is on CNN today. I’ve always known she’s a great online business person, it’s so wonderful to see the worldwide attention that she can get. It also inspires me and others to follow her lead. Also my fellow online friend and wahm is also featured at the beginning of the story, this is just SO inspirational! If you remember recently I sold my site www.AuctionStrategists.com to Jenni. Awesome stuff girls!

Fun fun fun today.

Well it’s here, I’m just putting the finishing touches on a 7 week coaching system for you. I recently did a survey about where you were in your business and an overwhelming 95% were just starting with a website.

That is a huge response, and my recent email gave an even more overwhelming response, I had tons of emails asking me how to get started with a business online.

I am really looking forward to helping you out, and will be announcing a launch date very soon for my new 7 week coaching. In the meantime, I’ve put together a report for you to help you get started, you can read it here.

Inside this report, I talk about the basics of getting started plus as an added bonus I’ve included my “Website Check Up” Report which currently sells for $12.97 at www.scrapventure.com.

It’s not really that easy to get started online, you know you hear how all you have to do is set up a domain, buy some hosting, and you’re set. But how? Really think about it, do you know how to set your nameservers, buy hosting, which hosting do you need?

A time and a place where Bravehearts gather for the purpose of eternity.

This is the theme of this years Women’s Conference in Vancouver BC. You can view the video for this year here.

The night started out with fireworks, song and dance. Wow what a spectacular display that was put together for us women. You can get a view of what it’s all about here.

We also heard from a girl who had graduated from Mercy USA a year ago. Just to hear her testimony was amazing. The doctors told her she had 6 months to live. Not alot of time, for a young 20 year old girl. She was anorexic, and her life changed when someone brought her the book from Nancy Alcorn, I believe it was “Mercy for Eating Disorders.”

She stood on the stage and shared her excitement for the life that she has today. An amazing story and so Brave!

My daughter is on camera today, it amazes me that at 14 years old she has the confidence to take on that challenge. I’ll try and get a picture of her today.

It’s Mothers Day! How do you plan on celebrating this wonderful person? Get some great scrapbooking ideas for Mothers Day.
