PRESS RELEASE
Raleigh, NC- Two years ago on Valentine’s Day, Rosen Law Firm
launched an on-line resource for married couples, a website
called Stay Happily Married. Since its inception, Stay Happily
Married has helped thousands of people nationwide. The site is
dedicated to providing resources to help couples who want to
stay together. In celebration of the anniversary, Stay Happily
Married is offering a free Valentine’s Day Guide to a Happy
Marriage, written by Jennifer Coleman, a National Certified
Counselor and Life Transition Coach for Rosen Law Firm.
The free guide provides words of advice from someone who has
worked with couples ending their marriage and knows what it will
take to build a long-lasting and committed
relationship.”Valentine’s Day is a good time to reassess the
health of your relationship and this guide provides a good
start,” says Coleman. The advice in the guide includes having
realistic expectations for your marriage, keeping spontaneity
and playfulness in your relationship, facing conflict in healthy
ways and expecting that there will always be conflict, and
learning how to appreciate your spouse for what initially
attracted you to them.
“With the help of marriage counselors, a lot of couples can
adopt new behaviors that build a strong marriage instead of
destroying their relationship,” says Lee Rosen, founder of the
Stay Happily Married website. By providing information about
qualified marriage counselors in the area, couples are
encouraged to get the help they need. The site also features
related articles, links to other websites, books, upcoming

The word “blog” seems to be everywhere, and what an ugly word it is!
Short for “web log,” a blog is a Web page made up of typically short, frequently updated postings that are listed chronologically. It’s similar to an online journal. Different blog publishers have different types of content and objectives, just like e-zine publishers do. Content can vary greatly, but most blogs I see are used to share news about a certain business, project, person, or idea. I’ve also seen some with personal diaries, photos, mini-essays, and the like. Most blogs feature “here’s what’s on my mind” type entries written by only one person.
Are blogs the next big thing? Well, people seem to love talking about them. (”Do you have a blog? Have you blogged? Want to blog me?”) They’re popular, easy to update instantly, and you don’t have to worry about sp^m filters eating you up.
Do you NEED a blog? Absolutely not. Blogs don’t come close to the marketing power of an e-zine. They require your readers to come to YOU instead of your coming to them.
My friend John Reese has a great blog at MarketingSecrets.com, in which he reveals results to his online marketing tests and news about his programs. (I love his stuff.) He posts to his blog much more than he publishes his e-zine. He says it allows him to share thoughts, resources, ideas, and strategies more quickly and easily. (You can see what his blog looks like here.)
But honestly, I never think to go visit the blog, because I have to … go visit it. Instead I faithfully read his e-zine that arrives right in my inbox.
You May Want to Start a Blog If…
- You’d like your website to rank higher in the search engines.
- You already have a large following of people who would like to keep up with your advice or programs more frequently than your e-zine allows.
- Your business is in a field whose information changes very frequently, such as on a daily basis (e.g. stock trading).
- You have project or personal matter you’d like to update everyone on at once. (For example, my friends who just had a baby post a blog with frequent updates on their little one’s progress.)
- You have so much infomation to share about a certain topic so often that it just won’t work in your e-zine.
Free Tool Helps You Get Started
If you’d like to start a blog, check out www.Blogger.com. It offers a Web-based tool that helps you publish to the Web instantly, whenever the urge strikes you.
Just don’t expect me to come read your blog! : )

Are you confuse whether you already entering menopause or not?
You feel not all the sign appeared to you, except you suffering
stress all the time. It’s a fact that not knowing what to expect
from menopause can cause you more stress than if you are well
informed. However, if you arm yourself with the bodily facts
about menopause, you will be in a more knowledgeable position to
discuss with your physician any kind of medical treatment he or
she may prescribe.
Despite the new openness concerning menopause, it can still be a
shock when a woman realizes she has reached this time in her
life because even during the best times of our lives, change
bring on stress.
A woman in menopause faces physical changes and new emotional
realities. Although Eastern and Western disciplines disagree in
the interpretations of stress response and their prescriptions
for how to deal with it, recognition has grown in both
disciplines that body and mind are intertwined, working together
- or against each other.
When you enter menopause, stress is likely to be a factor,
simply because of the new layer of change that’s being added to
your life. It can be helpful to understand what we now know
about response to stress before you think about ways to deal
with it.
Here are 10 easy steps for distressing you when entering
menopause:
1. Write a list of goals you’d like to achieve. Focus on doing a
few really well, rather than a lot in a mediocre way. You can’t
add hours to the day, but you can cut down on activities.
2. Say no instead of yes. People agree to requests from others
because they like to please them. Instead, realize that you have
a right to say no. Creating plans or policies makes saying no
easier. (”I’m sorry, I already have a financial planner.” “I’m
sorry, we already have a plan for giving to charities.”)
3. Stop being a slave to communication tools. Do you really need
an office phone, a home phone, a cellular phone, pager, fax,
e-mail and internet ICQ technology?
4. Stop spending time to save money. Instead, spend money to
save time. Don’t drive across town to save a few cents on a
grocery item. It’s not worth your time. Do hire someone to do
chores you’re not fond of.
5. Cancel subscriptions to magazines you never get around to
reading. Only read one newspaper per day.
6. Cut back on television time. Only watch those shows you
decide on beforehand. Circle them in the television-listing
magazine. Then turn off the television when the program is over.
Cancel extra cable television packages for channels you rarely
watch. Go for broke. Give up watching television altogether.
7. Clean out your basement or your office. If you’re not using
something, get rid of it. Put an expiration date on items when
you can’t decide to keep them or not. Get rid of them when the
expiration date arrives.
8. Quit organizations that aren’t contributing to your
advancement, your network or your fun.
9. Automate repetitive, clerical, mechanical tasks. For
instance, set up automatic bill payments. Include your automatic
savings plan as part of your monthly spending.
10. Make a plan for the weekend that doesn’t involve work. Plan
to spend more time with your family or with people who make
positive contributions to your life. Stop spending time with
people who are a drain on your energy or vitality.
