Featured in BizWeb eGazette  

Hello Everyone – Just got word from Jim at JDD Publishing www.bizweb2000.com that this website was being featured in his newsletter about his coaching clients who are completely new to doing business online.  Yes we are newbies when it comes to this website and blogging but we have been receiving great coaching support from him. 

As Jim mentioned in his eGazette, this site was built over the course of about a month using the WordPress Blog Template “Patagonia” and then it was rebuilt in about 5 days for a niche change (we decided to broaden our scope to both Healthy Living and Travel Tips).  Thank goodness for WP because I don’t think we could have pulled off the 2nd rebuild without this template and the techies at Hostgator.  

Has anyone out there gone through this, especially in your first few weeks online?

We have an Opt-in form that is still under construction – Aweber went live yesterday with their new Web Form Generator, so some of that re-build we did this past week, had to be completely re-done again.  So bear with us if things don’t appear quite like you would expect them to be. 

In fact, please leave us a comment below so we can fix anything that looks amiss.  And if you like what you see, tell us that too, so we can include more posts on those subjects.  Our posts here are somewhat long we know but that’s because there’s so much to talk about when it comes to healthy living and you already know that I am a Road Warrior traveling full-time both domestically and internationally.

So with all the stress of this site’s construction, we are taking the weekend off.  We need to return to a Healthy Body and a Healthy Mind(set).  I have been challenged to write about the Top 10 Tips for Road Warriors so we will be doing some thinking while we relax.

Drop us a comment or two on how you are de-stressing this weekend and what’s your best travel tip.

Thanks,

Mel

Welcome to the Healthy Living and Travel Tips blog! Why blog about being a healthy traveler you might ask? And who am I to talk about this subject?

This is my 14th year of full-time travel.  I can hardly believe it has been that long!  I am a business consultant who works everywhere but where I live.  So that makes me one of those road-warriors you see so many of in airports across the country. You know, those people shuffling a big heavy computer bag plus a carry-on, looking haggard and run-down, a cell-phone or two permanently plastered to their head, overweight and wandering around the concourse looking for anything close to fresh fruit.

I didn’t plan on this career, it kind of found me. And it was supposed to be exciting and glamorous!  But folks, traveling full-time is anything but that. It can be hard on your health if you allow it (and I did). If you can make it through security in one piece without losing any of your precious liquids, you thank your lucky stars that this leg of the trip is another one down. You often ask yourself “When am I going to NOT have to do this? How do I regain the health and vitality I had before I started on the road full-time while I am still traveling?”

That’s me. I am someone who has been traveling a long time, someone who will still have to travel for awhile due to the financial crisis and someone who needed to regain their health and vitality. I let some of mine slip away over the years.  But am regaining that health and vitality back!  And that’s what part of this blog is about–helping me and others regain their health and vitality back.

So the healthy travel tips I have learned through trial and error over the years I hope will be helpful for you no matter whether you travel only on occasion or are like me and travel way too much.  And I hope that you will comment and pass along some of your travel tips to the rest of us as we road-warriors (and occasional travelers) both need all the help we can get!
