Happy Mothers Day

My beautiful daughters greeted me this morning with hand-made cards and pressies as well as strawberry jam on toast made by Isabella, yummy!

Happy Mothers Day they said with a smile and lots of cuddles too.

Isabella, 8yo, made this card and certificate which is awarded to:

My Special Mum for understanding my feelings and caring for me.

Isabella also made this with Skitch and asked if I would post it on my blog for all mum’s out there:

This one is from Nelly, 5yo, who wrote on her certificate:

On Mother’s Day I will give you a Big Hug and Breakfast, Love Nelly.

Nelly tried her hand on Skitch too and this is what she came up with

So as you can gather, I have two talented little girls who I cherish with all my heart. Not only do they make wonderful hand-made cards, but they are following in my footsteps playing around on my Mac and the tools I use. Some more geek girls in the making

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon out at a local cafe with grandmas, aunts, uncles and cousins. It doesn’t happen often and I am glad we made the effort to be together on this special day.

Blessings to all mothers out there who are reading this and my wish for you is that you had an awesome day and were treated like a Queen ( like my friend Paula says).

Just before I go, I wanted to leave you with this quote from one of my dear twitter friends…

This has been a most Happy Mothers Day in Melbourne. How did you spend your day? All stories are welcome here.

My role as a Full Time Internet Marketer was realised last Sunday as my story was published in Australian National Newspapers. It all happened rather quickly really - the story that is.  I guess that’s how news happens.

This article appeared on Easter Sunday 2009 in the News Ltd Group National papers.

The last almost 3 years online and what I have learned in that time is one obvious reason. My mentor the Aussie Internet Marketer, Sean Rasmussen (who is basking in the Vanuatu sun as I write this) had a big role to play.

Since announcing a New Product Launch here a few months back, I have been following the Smart Systems Geeky course. Geeky because it’s online and I am, after-all, a Geek Girl Blogger LOL… and note the geeky smile … gasp!

Following a press release, journalist Lorna Knowles from News Ltd called to ask me some questions about my online ventures. Who would give up a chance to be in the National papers I ask you. We had to organise a time for the photographer to come around and take some photos of me. Next came the questions.

Norm from the Herald Sun Newspaper

Lorna asked me about what I do online and so I told her about my various sites and blogs I author, my JV opportunites and Affiliate Marketing. I also do some Social Media and SEO coaching for private clients.  All these efforts combined are my source of income. If you’d like to hire me for your business, use the contact form here with Coaching in the subject line.

Smart Systems and Geekversity

Shaun Stenning and Sean Rasmussen now travel around Australia almost every weekend (aside from Tasmania and the Northern Territory) and due to hit the UK in June, with a two day condensed version of the Geekversity course. What you will learn in this two day event:

FIND a subject you are passionate about as there is more of a chance you will stick with it.

RESEARCH whether it’s a viable business option.

BUILD the website and learn the best ways to generate income.

LEARN how to generate traffic to your site, and

START making money.

Their gags are something else. You have to be there to know what I mean. So how do I get there, Ange…

If you go to Smart Systems and/or Geekversity choose the dates which suit and enter the code AngeToldMe - I have been able to organise some scholarship tickets for the first 100 64 43 27 people to register.

At this stage, I will be at the Melbourne event on the 9th and 10th of May and the following weekend in Sydney on the 16th and 17th of May if you would like to meet me in person.

Remember to also bring your friends along as it’s fun to work on this with someone you know.

I look forward to seeing more geeks out there

My site is being revamped and while the new Buzzing with Ange is under construction, I thought it may be a great idea to list some of the best and most visited posts that I have written to give you something to think about while waiting for the new look!

I will list them in categories for you so feel free to poke around and refresh yourselves with some favourites, some of my personal successes and some of my personal failures. They are all here.  Have fun and I will keep you updated with how the site is coming along. BTW, if you right click the links to open in a new tab, you can keep this list open

Of course if there is something I haven’t listed here that you really liked, please add the post url in your comment so that I can add it to this list.

Enjoy your reading and I’d like to hear your thoughts. I’m really looking forward to a new look Buzzing with Ange and will keep you posted on the progress.

Whilst it has been school holiday time here, I have been taking time out with the kids so updating has been slim. I hope you all enjoyed your break if you had one and that Santa gave you some nice pressies for Christmas.

Today I want to tell you about a New Product Launch called Smart Online Profit Systems which is a major first joint venture by two successful Internet Marketers, Sean Rasmussen and Shaun Stenning. The launch is happening at Midday AEST which is just under an hour away.

This is a chance for you to learn about some Millionaire Secrets. I kid you not. I have written about Sean Rasmussen often here and it’s because I admire his ethics and passion to help others achieve their dreams just like he has. I have known him personally for almost three years and 12 months ago our families spent a day together enjoying great food and wine while the kids played on the beach in his home town of Bunbury WA. There is a 4 hour flight between us physically but we all know that keeping in touch on the Net is easy.

The product includes learning SEO (and I mean REAL good stuff), JV opportunities, affiliate marketing, how to use Social Media the most effective way for your business and ranking on Google’s front page. These are just some of the goodies which they will be disclosing.

Sean says from his own testimonial:

One piece of advice I can give from all this: Write down your dreams, Take Action and do it! It’s all in your mind.

Consider this as a present to yourself if you are a budding Internet Marketer. Seriously, it will change your life. Sean has had a most positive affect on my life. I keep manifesting more of what I want and I attribute it to the fact that his influence and guidance has made me more aware of the things I can do.

All feedback is welcome here in the comments. What can I say, I’M EXCITED!!

I would like to wish all my readers

a very Blessed and Joyous Holiday Season

This time of year is when families and friends gather together to celebrate the holidays and the spirit of giving is alive and well. I know my two little angels are really looking forward to Christmas morning when they can unwrap and discover new toys and gadgets, clothes and chocolates, books and movies that they have been looking forward to for months.

I received a message today that reminded me of what Christmas means to me most of all. It went something like this…

Christmas is for Love

It is for joy, for giving and sharing, for laughter,
for reuniting with family and friends, for tinsel
and brightly covered packages.

But, mostly, Christmas is for love.

What is Christmas for you?

While you think about it, here’s the Aussie version of Jingle Bells on video and lyrics are below.

Aussie Jingle Bells Lyrics

Dashing through the bush
In a rusty Holden Ute
Kicking up the dust
Esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side
Singing Christmas songs
It’s summer time and I am in
My singlet, shorts & thongs

CHORUS:
OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
ON A SCORCHING SUMMER’S DAY
JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE

Engine’s getting hot
Dodge the kangaroos
Swaggy climbs aboard
He is welcome too
All the family is there
Sitting by the pool
Christmas day, the Aussie way
By the barbecue!

CHORUS

Come the afternoon
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go
We take a family snap
Then pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up

CHORUS

Wishing you all the Happiness in the World and a Prosperous New Year in 2009. Make it an awesome one!
