Anita, my favorite birds are the great blue herons, which have a wing span of about six feet. I'll also be watching for bats, as I heard many of them have been sickened and died from some kind of disease. Watching them come out at dusk, I understand the saying "like a bat out of hell."
We don't put out bird feeders, but most of my friends do and this is the time of year that they have to take them indoors because the bears start wandering around looking for food.
To someone who lives in the city, my bear stories sound unbelievable, but I really have had a yearling bear show up at my open office door and we were separated only by a screen. Another time I came back from running and heard, then saw a bear just 20 feet away from me in the yard.

How cool!!! I'm so excited to watch this video (even more so after reading your stories above) - alas, YouTube is blocked at my day job. I'll have to check it out after hours at home. I enjoy your work Marcia so I'm sure this will be terrific.

Marcia, I think the video that you presented though simply, was very heart felt and to the point. You've 'hit the nerve' of so many people who are struggling to find a little peace and tranquility in the pursuit of their careers.
People who have no interest in owning jets or yachts or ever want to sit on expensive beaches all day drinking Rum & Cokes. People who love to work but want to perform their jobs in an environment that is conducive the their well being.
No, you won't appeal to the 'get rich quick' crowd but I dare so you will entice that broad spectrum of quiet, hard working people who are looking for a different way... a different life.
To my way of thinking the videos simplicity and honesty is it's beauty. You established trust and rapport by letting people know that 'you do it' and so can they, without all the crap 'hype' we are all so used to seeing.
I also believe that 'lifestyle' marketing, which your video promotes, will replace and be just as powerful as the 'get rich' promotions of the recent past.
I'll even go one step further, by saying that 'lifestyle' marketing will be even more powerful, as people continue to find themselves in more and more compromising work and family situations and look for real, concrete ways of changing their lives.
Good luck with the video and I hope it works well for you.

Just so you know - Marcia does an amazing book - you'll see it on her site.
"76 Ways To Describe A Widget"
It's immensely useful when you're writing copy.
I'm not an affiliate for this - it's just that I bought it a while ago - and when you can get something this good - I thought you should know about it.
Refer to it when you're writing an Ad or a Promo and you'll be stunned just how helpful it is.
