I just returned from a fabulous seminar in Orlando at which I was a featured speaker.

While there, I twisted the arm of JV Alert's Kenneth McArthur (who hosted the event) till he gave me permission to SHARE the audio of my entire presentation with you…for FREE!

To fully understand the value of this gift, you have to realize this presentation took place at a sold-out event where each attendee paid $495 plus traveling expenses to get this same information.

I don't know how long I'll be able to make this recording available, so listen to it NOW:

"How to Build Multiple Streams of Income… That Churn Out Cash on Autopilot"

I just returned from the most grueling 3-day event I've ever attended…

Have you ever watched "American Idol?"

Well, imagine performing a 2-1/2 minute audition in front of 63 different judges over the course of 3 days:

• Each performance should seem "fresh"…even if it's the 50th time you've said the same thing.
• You need to charm each judge and dazzle them with your personality.
• You must have quick answers to any question they throw at you."

…Basically, you need to be "ON" all the time. Whew! It's completely exhausting!!

No, I wasn't auditioning for "American Idol." I was meeting with producers from various TV and radio shows, as well as magazine and newspaper editors.

Honestly, if I'd known what I was in for, I would never have done it. But, I'm glad I did it (the publicity I'll get is well worth spending 3 days in audition hell)…and, most of all, I'm glad it's over!

So, where does the makeover come in?

Well, the day before I started meeting with all these people, I had an appointment with an image consultant. According to her, I needed a complete overhaul (LOL…my words, not hers).

She kidnapped me for the day…

• Twisted my arm into buying an outfit from Saks.
• Tied me into a chair at Elizabeth Arden's Red Door for a color and a cut.
• Held me down while a make-up artists "brought out my eyes."

…And, basically gave me a "new look."

Was it worth it?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I'll let these 'before' and 'after' shots speak for themselves (needless to say, I'm happy with the makeover results):

Before

After

It's kind of ironic to be writing this just after I published my "Time for Thankfulness" post.

If you're wondering why you didn't hear from me Friday or Saturday this week, it's because Steve is again in the hospital.

He and I have been trading a cold back and forth for a few weeks. By Friday afternoon, he was looking pretty rough, and I was keeping a very close eye on him.

Finally, on Saturday morning, I had to rush Steve to the hospital…he was in severe congestive heart failure.

Once they had gotten him out of danger, the doctors informed us that Steve is also in the early stages of pneumonia (at least they caught it early!).

So, Steve is still in the hospital for now. The good news is he is NOT considered critical…but, they are treating the pneumonia and monitoring his heart to ensure he remains out of danger.

Our dog, Snowball, has been lying on the floor by the front door all night and morning wondering why Daddy hasn't come home. I'm going to take Snowball to the hospital to visit his Daddy later this afternoon…that should make both my guys very happy.

In the meantime, please keep Steve in your prayers.

UPDATE: December 6th…

I can't thank you all enough for your prayers and support.

Steve came home from the hospital yesterday evening! He is still being treated as an outpatient for pneumonia, but he's stable and home again.

I, Snowball, and all 8 cats are very happy to have him back.
