Surgery, Christmas, And a Top-Shelf Newsletter

I want to give you a quick update on things. You may have noticed I haven’t blogged anything new in a while. But there’s a reason.

Before I explain, check out this free newsletter. It’s high quality, with top-shelf content, and it’s 100% free. I’m proud of it, because I was a part of its inception, and my wife and I are in the premiere issue.

I believe it’s going to be the gold standard in the Internet marketing newsletter industry. When so many newsletters out there are paid for and marketer-specific, this newsletter covers a wide range of marketing topics, strategies, and experts.

And the topics are not overly generalized, theoretical or philosophical stuff. There’s going to be tons of strategy-specific ways to maximize your marketing and your moneymaking efforts. A great way to start 2009!

Note that there will be an offer on the resulting thank-you page for a different product. But you’re not held hostage, and the newsletter will still arrive in your email inbox, even if you refuse. It’s not mandatory at all. Sign up and instantly get your first issue.

Now, speaking of my wife, here’s the reason why I’ve been out of the loop…

As some of you know — if you follow me on Twitter — my beautiful wife, Sylvie Fortin, had surgery yesterday. She had an ovariectomy to block the production of estrogen, which in turn prevents her breast cancer from making an unexpected comeback.

Following her chemo, she was on hormone therapy for a while, which does the same thing. But she has to constantly deal with hot flashes and discomfort — and pain! — associated with the medication and the hormonal roller-coaster ride.

This surgery will not only control her estrogen on a permanent level, but also it will, in large part, eliminate most of these side effects, too.

She’s back home recovering nicely. Thank goodness.

Since she will be out of it for a few more days (and we expected this), we decided on celebrating Christmas last weekend. We had the entire family over, and I had one of the best French-Canadian staples of the holiday season… We call it, “Tourtière!”

(That’s meat pie, by the way.)

She woke up this morning (in between prescribed morphine hits every four hours), and she was strong enough to cook herself a meal — she was hungry as couldn’t eat anything 24 hours prior to her surgery.

Not only that, but she was also strong enough to get on her computer and check her email!

(Our friends chuckled when they heard this. They said, “Now that’s a hardcore Internet marketer, when you can’t wait to check your email after a major surgery, LOL!”)

All this to say, I might be taking a bit more time off to take care of her over the holidays. So if you don’t hear from me until then, I want to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Christmas, and a joyous holiday season.

And please, don’t forget to check out this free newsletter. Go there now and signup. The first issue has several insightful articles, including an article from Sylvie and me about the power of multi-dimensional keyword research — you’re going to love it!
