Red-Hot Temperatures and Red-Hot Copy!

It's summertime in Colorado, where the weather and my schedule have been heating up!

Was an usher in a friend of mine's wedding last week... had a great time, the itinerary was hectic: Bachelor party Thursday nite, rehearsal and dinner Friday, ceremony on Saturday, then a potluck and gift-opening Sunday. Really happy for Mike and Christine, best wishes to them for many years of health and happiness.

Weather has been hotter than normal, too. Highs have been in the mid-90s to low-100s; that, plus my schedule has taken a lot out of me. Came down with a sinus infection that sapped my energy and hasn't let me sleep very much (or well). I decided to take an extended vacation to see family and friends in Kansas. Went with my dad to see a local MD today, confirmed it was a sinus infection, and got some Amoxicillin to take care of the problem. That, plus home-cooking and some extended rest have gotten my batteries partially re-charged.

The other part of the 'Red-Hot' theme of this post has been Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero. I met her at a marketing seminar in 2005 in Denver. Really enjoyed talking with her, and she definitely knows her stuff when it comes to copywriting. I subscribed to her list and traded periodic emails with 'Lo.' When I got an opportunity to be in a mentorship program she opened up in June, I jumped at it... and fortunately, got accepted!

It's been a great experience after only a month or so, and I HIGHLY recommend Lorrie's coaching and info products to anyone who's serious about improving their copywriting and/or marketing. I don't recommend anyone unless they can 'deliver the goods' and know their business well. And Lorrie most definitely does.

She has talked about opening up more spots in her Gold Mentorship program later this year or in early 2008. If you're serious about copywriting, and want a great opportunity to be coached by a true professional in every sense of the word, go to Red Hot Copy and sign up for her e-zine if you're not already a subscriber.

It's a summer Friday nite, and I'm ready to spend time with friends and enjoy a cool beverage or two. Have a great weekend, remember to take time to relax and enjoy your summer!
