DocSanae wrote an amazing post that I will use as an introduction to me:

My business is helping people, helping get their websites higher on the search engines. Yes I get $ for it, but my primary motive is to help people and do the best possible for them. Often, I give far more hours than I receive payment for and just prefer working that way.

It seems a strange way of doing business, but I am finding that it is really paying off Case in point, you will be finding me around these parts a little more often. Craig has invited me to look after the site/updates/getting higher on the search engines - I gave out heaps when I first helped with the site, and he repaid by being generious with more work. The repayment "in the strangest of ways" that DocSanae talks about.

Another person I gave lots of free advice to, and they have given me the opportunity to wander around New Zealand helping even more people with their websites - seminars to the business public, helping web designers do things better for their clients ...

I posted this in the God forum because as a Christian, I believe that we should do good first totally unselfishly, then God will and does reward. Note DocSanae's statement "Be always prepared to accept whatever, whenever, if it's something you wanted".

So all the best with your weight issues, if you work hard at it, and persevere through, you will be rewarded. If you think of others first, its just amazing how it can come back to bless you. Read a few stories here about emotional issues; if you give out, its amazing how you can get your own spirits lifted.

What a great bunch of supportive people there are around these parts.

what you have written and quoted is so true. sometimes i get frustrated with the waiting process but i know that it will all be in his time and the only thing i can do for now is be there for others if they need or want me.

and the people on this site are all so caring and supportive, i have come along way because of them and just wish i could give more back.

it's great to have you around, hope to talk to you in chat sometime

Oh, my......you bowl me over by quoting me so nicely. Thank you, and thank you for all the work you've done for this site. Craig is very grateful for your help, I know, and the rest of us are, too. I have come to know so many people and made friends here that I have not imagined I would, and they all have taught me so much. I am very grateful and honored to be a member of this board.

Thank you T2Dman for all of your hard work and effort. I know that it must be helping Craig a lot to have your help on this board. I also believe in the theory of give first, without expectation of receipt later and then being pleasantly surprised when rewards or thanks are given. Karma is a big thing in my life right now and I think that it is the only thing keeping my spirits up sometimes.
