Turning Lemons Into Pie

Sylvie is so upbeat and positive about her breast cancer — and her upcoming mastectomy on Monday, September 11 — that she decided to make the best of it in the only way she knew how… “Market and monetize it!”

She decided to start a blog about her journey, complete with AdSense, affiliate links and more. Creating and writing on a blog is part therapeutic (she feels liberated by writing about it), part education (she wants to use her “adventure” to increase awareness), and part profit (breast cancer keywords are very profitable!).

Nevertheless, it’s part of the healing process and great medicine for her soul. As she says so fervently: “Life gave me lemons, so I might as well make the best of it. Lemonade? Heck no… I’m going to turn lemons into lemon merangue pie!”

Hi Michael and Sylvie,
I just posted on Sylvie’s blog too - but I wanted to say that you’re in my prayers.
Hang in there.

I like Sylvie’s blog and hope she does really well with it!

Warmly,

Cheryl

Hi Michael and Sylvie,

I post a comment on Sylvie’s blog http://www.breastcancervictory.com/my-breast-cancer-story/ I also post in my blog about new Sylvie’s blog (http://www.distancelovinghelp.com/blog), and I also send a message to all of my subscribers to go and visit Sylvie’s blog and post their comments.

But I think something is “missing”!

It’s “missing” “What’s In It For Me” so that more people go there and post comments, or help you “Turning Lemons Into Pie”.

Why don’t you give away all the profits of Sylvie blog to a cancer institute? I could not find in http://www.breastcancervictory.com any direct place where I can make a donation, nor if your profits are for yourself ( and, for sure you don’t need them ), or if your profits are to help others (”What’s In It For Me”).

Thanks With All My Heart,

Michel, I hardly believe that with that coureage and braveness
Sylvie has won the battle. Nothing bad is going to happen. Be sure all my prayers and the rest ones from your followers will take you and Sylvie to the happiness you deserve. Again, nothing bad is going to happen. It’s the truth, It’s my prayer, it’s the fact. Be calm.

Truly yours from Argentina..-
