Dragon's Den Audition on CBC

It's true - I've taken the plunge. Some people have called me brave - other's crazy - you be the judge. Click on the link Dragon's Den Audition to visit my audition tape for Dragon's Den. So why am I trying to get on Dragon's Den? Well... as my audition says - it all comes down to distribution. It's a great product but it needs to get across Canada and into the U.S. for people to really benefit from it. So... take a few minutes, sign up for a CBC account and please vote for me!

Thanks for your support.

BOOK EXPO CANADA

Book Travels without Author

It's true the Personal Healthcare Journal will be attending BookExpo Canada in the New Titles Showcase in downtown Toronto without me. It's kind of like sending your kid half-way around the world to do humanitarian work and hope that he'll come back in one piece.

Book Expo Canada for the unaware is where you go to be seen. Publishers, retailers, wholesalers and distributors converge in one place in Toronto for two glorious days to check out each other's stuff. Having never been there myself - my guess is that it's somewhat like a car or bike show - a lot of posturing and tire kicking along with admiration for new products and perhaps a little buying and selling.

Here's what I'm hoping for... some awareness and attention. My little company that can with one title is hoping someone will pick me out of the crowd and want to check out this guppy in a big sea of marlins.

I'll keep you posted. The show dates are June 15 & 16.

COMING SOON!

Watching the Book in Action

Monday morning I got a call from my mother-in-law. I could tell instantly by her voice that she wasn't doing well. We got to the heart of the problem quickly. Her knee was swollen and she was in a great deal of pain. Unable to walk except with the help of my father-in-law she was having trouble getting around. Could I take her to the dr.'s?

Being self-employed and working from home gave me the opportunity and flexibility to take her to a walk-in clinic that specializes in muscles and bones. After waiting quite a while, we saw the doctor. He was worth the wait! He examined her knee, and quickly ordered an x-ray. After reviewing the results - he ordered an MRI. He suspects a torn miniscus - ouch!

His recommendations? Ice the knee 3x a day and see me in 7-10 days. The MRI will be ordered and should be done in the next 4-6 weeks.

We recorded the symptoms, recommendations, tests and follow-up appointment in her healthcare journal. It works! It was so great to see all her appointments and info listed in her book. All she has to do is check back in the book to remind her of all the details.
