Thank You. Can You Please Help?


Life took a wicked turn the past few months…message in a bottle in the ocean, seeking help

Thank you for all your loving concern, comments, prayers, kind wishes, and MANY personal and professional phone calls. The vast number of calls alone prohibits me from returning any Many of them…

I’m sorry that I can not be more personal in my explanations, or personal replies to phone calls, emails AND comments!

I started going down hill at this post, so any commentators since that date please KNOW that I did NOT intentionally ignore any of you!

Just to show how crazy bad things have been the past couple of months:

I haven’t even had time, energy or strength to talk to my year-long, Virtual Assistant, and Dear, Dear Friend Jennifer over the phone to take care of biz. Life with a disability and moving to a new state (new MDs, life, etc.) took an obvious priority.

Oh, and I did NOT even know about this post by Amanda until just last week after talking to Jennifer…and it took that long just to get this post up. I talked to Amanda since, but we never even discussed that post…[talk about being away from the PC!]

With the dear blessings of our beloved All-Mighty God, my husband is doing everything in his power to take all pressure away from me to “feel” the need to work (even for fun, leisure, or my “mental”-get-away).

I’m chugging through my days “accepting” that nearly once a week now my hands freeze–actually paralyzes…as opposed to my partial paralysis of periodically losing sensation and feeling.

Unfortunately my ability to handle this physical disability has been everything BUT empowering :-(

After all, I’ve been writing in a journal since I was 9, I became a work-at-home professional writer who secured a syndicated column, and best-selling book…

So, take my Great blessings of life + Harsh physical/mental/neurological limitations means I’m Simply Just-Okay.

At my worse, I was at least able to talk on the phone and type from my bed…but sadly I wasn’t able to do either the past few months. So, here’s my plea for help:

Can YOU Please help me, Jennifer and EmpowerWomenNow.com?

a. Jennifer will be overseeing nearly everything:

- Guest Bloggers: We have at least 4 unused guest posts that will be future post. Thanks for your patience!

- Book Reviewers: We have only 1 of nearly 8 book reviewers who all received their complimentary books. We have ~ dozen more books to give away! We want to future post at least 1 per week–so get your reviews in & please anyone else want to share an entrepreneurial book review on this site…be Our Guest!

- WordPressReWorked.com blogger/designers: Please consider guest blogging here! Links and All :-)

- You: Please offer a guest post, interview, book or product review. Want to offer something new? Give it a shot!

Very basic criteria: 500+ words. In return you’ll get a bylines of 2-5 lines with up to 2 link backs!

Help Jennifer by offering 1-2 image files (such as, your personal picture, a book cover, your avatar, an image that captures the essence of what you’re writing about), link-outs, etc.

If our pay-back is not enough for our “huge” demands, please just write us and let your voice be heard.

Topics: Based on our Categories–of course!

For example: Internet Branding, Business Empowerment, Work at Home Entrepreneurialism.

- YOU: PLEASE tell US what you liked best about this site? What areas/categories helped you the most? How we can improve?

Jennifer will be working diligently to see how we can make this site more free-standing, non-dependent on my presence and personal health limitations…we’ve come such a LONG way to let my our time, efforts and love be wasted!

To our shocking glee–while some stats went down, our readership, RSS feeds, ezinelists, etc. have ALL increased and we’re ranking #1 in MANY of our top keywords & phrases. Google LOVES us–Thank you! {Not with PageRank…but we’ll take traffic & subscribers ANY day over a mere “score”}.

Jennifer will be monitoring all business emailboxes, and will be replying to as many emails as she can find; please be patient my dear.

As for me?

This is NOT a Good-Bye by any means!

While my hands may not be writing or typing much…One can NOT keep my mouth shut!

My mind and mouth hasn’t stopped yet! Believe me, I still always have TONS to say ;-)

God willing, I will return to some capacity, some time…but not regularly any time soon.

The sun always rises. God Bless :-D

  1. Ponn, I am so delighted to read this post. I am not happy at the thought that you’ve had such a rough time lately, but I am just so glad to see a post from you again. I’ve been checking back periodically, waiting to see if you returned. Good to have you back, even if not in full capacity.

  2. […] Ponn suffers from a disabiling brain disorder and had been MIA from her blog for months until yesterday’s post. You can read the full post here. […]

  3. I’m offering to write guest posts if you need it. Being a work at home entrepreneur is my specialty.

    Good luck getting everything situated and please contact me if you need help with anything else.

    I’ll be waiting to hear back about guest posting as I do have a question.

  4. Hey girl. We were missing you at BMM. Glad you resurfaced. I could help you with some content–Jennifer just let me know a few topics you want to see. Time is tight but I can fit you in.

  5. PS Perhaps now is the time to podcast? *grin*

  6. Thank you Ponn for hanging on and for this update…my thoughts and prayers have been constant for you and your family. I’d be honored to guest post here a few times in 2008. Have Jennifer contact me.

    Make a Wish, We’ll help you Make it Happen!

  7. Ponn it was so wonderful to come to the site and see you posted. I’ve been praying hard for you and my heart just aches at the pain you’ve been going through. Anything at all that you may need please e-mail me. If you also need for me to resend the completed book reviews please let me know!

  8. Hello, Ponn!

    I’m with GG, Podcast sounds like a great option. You did so well with the first interview. We’d love to hear your voice. Definitely take care of yourself.

    Jennifer, I love reading Entrepreneur books, so I’d be happy to complete another book review. I’ll contact by email.

  9. Hope you feel better. And glad your ok. We were all worried. I’d guestpost, but I don’t know much about this topic so I’ll just stick to WPReworked. :D

  10. Ponn:

    I am SO glad to see you are here again. I have missed you and been thinking of you. I would be happy to do some book reviews.

    Also, have you heard of utterz.com. It is such an easy way to do an audio and have it post automatically on your blog. Like a podcast, only easier. Just a thought.

    Take care,

    Kim

  11. Would be happy to help in any way, Ponn. So glad to hear you’re still there. I hope and pray that you’ll continue to grow in strength and health.

  12. Hi- I have been a lurker for a while now. I appreciate how you are giving a voice to women and wahm who are trying to make money while maintain a home for their families. I hope things have levelled out for you.
