Can I stand the pace?

Well, this is my second blog post this week! My coach Marc Milburn’s say’s to post two or three times a week. There is no way I can manage 3 times a week so twice it will have to be.

When I first started this blog I only ever posted once a week. I simply did not have enough time to keep my Detox blog and my Natural Remedies Blog going and post on this blog more than once a week.

It may be just that they just have not had the time yet and that they will add one soon.Alex has said just get your blog going and that is what many are doing.

But, I have come across other blogs that don’t have an About Page. I don’t know about you but I feel cheated. I’m nosey and if I like the blog and the blog posts I am curious about the person behind it.
