Hello, WA Community!
I am a 49 years old empty nester, happily married, and mother to two grown daughters who are independent, and two doggie-girls who aren't.
Update: I'm now a grandmother (it's heartwarming, but hard on personal vanity when a little one calls you "Gramma"!).
I live in Vancouver, Canada, where I have owned a health food manufacturing business with my husband since the '90's. We focus on diabetic-friendly and keto bakery items, and sell to chains across Canada.
In my previous life before business, I modeled locally and worked as a sales consultant at a weight loss center. Then, I went in search of larger commissions and became a realtor (which I ended up hating).
I love to research (yup - nerdy that way), write, shop (especially online), exercise, play and EAT!
Thanks for stopping by - say hello and introduce yourself!

Hey Laurie, nice to meet you. Thanks for commenting on my first (incredibly brief) blog post and your offer to help, it's much appreciated. I have two daughters too (23 and 17) and I have repeatedly told both of them that, should they choose to have children in anything like the near future, those children are to call me "Mo," period (I'm 55, lol).
Looking forward to getting to know you better and picking your brains for help.

Hi just thought I'd introduce myself. As well an ex in lots of things I am an ex chef too and I'm diabetic for my sins.
I still cook and still get surprised looks when people eat my food with the little twists I create in them.
When I tell them they find it hard to believe me.
Anyway I just thought I would say "hi"

I just have to say you don't look 49.
maybe 30, not trying to flatter you. I have respect for people who are in marriages, I am 51 but I have never felt my age. Someday I hope to have a wife of your stature. Glad to make your acquaintance :) And I think it's amazing what you do for so many people! I am getting close to the Ambassador mark 960 rank. :)

Hi Laurie,
Just joined last week. You have helped me on the chat before thank you.
Needless to say being a newbie, I have a ton to learn. I have purchased a domain, but haven't built a website yet. I am really stuck trying to figure out what theme I want as well as what kind I need.
I know there are posts on the subject, but I haven't found one that really clears up the confusing process of sifting through all the choices. I don't know what it is I need to know! (If that makes any sense!). Thoughts?

Hi Elaine,
My experience has been that matching a theme to my website vision required experimenting ... lots of it.
I installed a number of themes I thought might work, and tried each one on for size (using the "live preview" and poking around).
It was a cumbersome process, but I feel it's really the only way to find the right fit. The themes vary quite a bit in their look, options and function.
Like shopping for jeans - It's really just a matter of trying them on.

Yes, I think I need some feedback on it.. I want my wesbite to have a few landing pages to get attention first then redirect to an appropriate post which I have to start writing.. I am in the content business so there is a problem of plenty - I want to zero in on WHY a user would want to read/listen to that particular book..!!

I've been with WA for over two years (including an almost two year hiatus) and am just now getting around to following the top 200 with the wholly selfish intent of learning from you. Talk about procrastination! I'll try not to make too much of a fool of myself.
Best wishes for your WA success!

Have a great day !

Laurie, I see you are making some good progress through the Affiliate Bootcamp. Just wanted to pop by and see if you need a hand with anything?
I also wanted to mention the success rates of Bootcamp. Absolutely everyone that has taken action on all of the phases of Bootcamp has a business that is generating consistent income online. MANY of these folks are going to be at our super affiliate conference next year.
I want this to be you and I want you to succeed with your promotions. So, please promise me that if you ever need a hand or feel stuck as you move forward, that you will get in touch with me!
Trust me, I know things can be a little overwhelming sometimes and I don't want you feeling like that.
Anyways, just checking in. Get back at me if you need anything Laurie.

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?". lol
I know, same thing happened to me when I started.
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.
Get back at me! :)
