Lifting Some of the Veil

Wanna see something cool?

I’ve been working on a lot of stuff with REV, which has kept this busy bee buzzing from honeycomb to garden and back with barely a breath. The work has been wonderful. High quality content that puts the reader first.

One of the projects in production has been a new site called the HealthCompareGuide. Dave did the awesome design work, I’m the editor in charge of all the content.

I’m excited that after a month of work, I finally have something to share.

The HealthCompareGuide has four categories:

• Time Tools
• Dollars and Sense
• Body Basics
• Simply Happy

Time Tools is about efficient time management and how to make the most of your minutes. The posts will be written by long time friend Bamboo Forest for the most part, but I will contribute the occasional post as well, seeing as how the passing of time is one of my most consistent themes. Bamboo has recently launched his online time app, Tick Tock Timer, where he also writes about the dropping sand in the hourglass of our lives.

Dollars and Sense is exactly as it sounds – tips and tricks to help readers turn their pennies into dollars. My good friend (and new ghostwriter) Tracy O’Connor of I Hate My Message Board will be heading the content. With five kids (all boys!), Tracy knows how to stretch a dollar far enough to make Plastic Man do a double take. In addition, Dollars and Sense will boast the occasional guest post by “The Tax Lady,” Roni Deutch.

Body Basics is about general health and wellness. This column will be filled by two more of my good friends, Jamie Simmerman and Chef Roberto Martin. Jamie is a terrific writer, but she’s also a registered nurse who knows more about what makes the human body tick than most of us ever will. Roberto is Ellen’s chef and gets way too happy when talking about how to prepare nutritious yet savory food. Remember, celebrities look as good as they do, at least in part to people like Roberto. This is our most packed category (at least so far) as it will also have the occasional creative input from Actress/Photographer Amanda de Cadanet and Jane Fonda as she promotes her upcoming World Fitness Day on May 1st.

Simply Happy is a smile on the page. Remember back when I wanted to land the “Good Mood Blogger” gig? This is basically that, except way more fun and with my own crew. You know how I fart sunshine, well I’ll be adding my stink whenever I’m not sharing the Simply Happy spotlight with David Zyla, the charming (and impossibly happy) head costume designer for General Hospital, Port Charles, and All My Children.

One of the coolest things about working on the HealthCompareGuide has been the OneACT charity the corporate site is kicking off. The brilliance behind One ACT is that even a small, single act of charity can spread from person to person and possibly change the world. The OneACT charity will find one family in need each week to help, thereby inspiring others to pass the baton. It is a wonderful, inspiring charity that I feel fortunate to be a part of.

I’ll be talking more about OneACT soon, as well showing a video we’ve made.

More cool stuff is coming, but I thought it was time to share at least a little of what I’ve been up to since I’ve been so scarce around these parts. :)

Check out the HealthCompareGuide and sign up for the feed. Make sure to look at the FaceBook Page as well. Dave, of course, did an awesome job designing that as well.

Talk to you soon.
