Every day I’m contacted by local or national news sources looking for potential candidates for phone interviews. Writers and reporters are always looking for people to answer questions or discuss their various situations, conditions, illnesses, parenting issues, health care expertise, use of products, etc. for magazine articles, newspapers and television.

Would you be willing to tell your story or share your experience to a member of the press? When these opportunities arise I’d love to be able to contact you.

Your privacy is our primary concern so rest assured that I would always get in touch with you first (and only you) to describe the opportunity and see if you want to talk to the media source. Even then it is your decision whether to share your name or remain anonymous in print. Plus, we only work with reputable news companies, magazines, journals and newspapers.

If you’d like to join my group of experts, please let me know.

Healthy Alternatives!

February 8, 2008

I am constantly looking for healthy alternatives to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings and found that fruit is a great alternative to candy and cookies. Eating a banana or apple helps satisfy my cravings and helps me manage my weight. Yogurt & smoothies are also a great substitute for ice cream. Check out this link for other healthy alternatives called Alternatives to Junk Food Snacks.

If you have found that your financial disposition is less then you desire then take control over your finances. Many people overcharge and live off of there credit cards, over leasing, or are buying luxury items that they have no business purchasing.

A few steps to help you manage your money & eliminate debt are to first find out how much debt you really have. Then track just how much money you are spending and on what. Create set budgeted amounts to pay off your credit cards. Remember to stop spending money! Even something as little as $10 on frivolous items a day could have been better spent if it was applied to your debt. Once you have this down take the time to create a spending plan for each month. And don’t forget to save money even if it is a small amount in the beginning it will eventually add up!

If you follow these simple steps you will be on your way to financial freedom! It will feel as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. For more information on money management check out Oprah’s debt diet.
