Lynn has come up with a fascinating concept -- advertising to yourself. Its kind of like a life-coaching thing where you are the coach and the client.

Road trip!

October 14th, 2007

I’m celebrating the achievement of a huge goal with a 3 week road trip in my new RV. Seeing America, baby! Normally I stay pretty close to topic on this blog, but since I believe it was personal advertising that got me into the position to be able to do this, I’m considering that anything that happens during the trip IS on topic. Plus, it’s my vacation. So regular readers may notice that I’m going to change up the pace and format a little. Consider yourself warned…
