New micro internet business opportunities arise all the time… Your own small internet business is a great way to make money… but there is something more.

Morning on Cotacachi Ecuador’s plaza may be foggy but the economy is sunny and bright… and

I was sitting on our balcony at our hotel Inn Land of the Sun (formerly Meson de las Flores) in Cotacachi Ecuador… looking at the sunrise view.

Mt. Cotacachi was on my left.

Mt. Imbabura on my right.

The time was 5:36 am and I began my first round of answering my email.

The first note opened had the subject Om Bir and the email said:  Hello sir,  Nameste. T his is lalit from Nepal. i m working from two yrs. in roses. as a farm supervisor. we are exporting roses to japan.i’ll write you more about company.looking forward your reply.  lalit  kathmandu

What a wonderful way to start the day… I am in a small mountain village getting blessings from someone in mountains half way around the world.  Namaste means “may that which is in God be within you.”

We offer a course to help our readers start their own web business. This freedom not only makes life more enjoyable but also reduces the cost of living.

Technology brings us so many blessings… the things we take for granted… air travel… electricity… computers… cars… the internet… would be considered miracles for 99% of mankind that has existed.

Yet we can with the push of a button gain blessings… and business from around the world.

This is why we are sharing a free course on how to create your own website without a webmaster written by Michelle Toole. Here is the 38th lesson in this course.

What’s HARO?  By Michelle Toole

So you’re interested in starting your own self publishing business on the internet? Or maybe you have a book that you wrote and want to make a name for yourself?    Well, I have a great tip for you…..actually, it’s a great tip for anybody wanting to establish themselves as an expert and this will help you build your own ‘brand of one.’

Editors, as Merri always reminds us, are “always looking for content” and the same goes for reporters, bloggers, radio hosts and pod cast hosts.   So, how do you connect with editors, reporters, bloggers, radio hosts and pod cast hosts that need you?  Good Question….

And I have a great answer…. HARO.  What’s HARO?

HARO stands for ‘Help a Reporter Out’, a web site (helpareporter.com) started by Peter Shankman and it is an excellent resource for those of us trying to build our own ‘brand of one.’

According to Peter, “I built this list because a lot of my friends are reporters, and they call me all the time for sources. Rather than go through my contact lists each time, I figured I could push the requests out to people who actually have something to say.  These requests only come from reporters directly to me.”

Once you sign up to Peter’s web site you will get 3 emails each day.  Each email will include a list of reporters, bloggers, radio hosts and pod cast hosts looking for sources for their stories.  Of course it’s not likely that you will find someone looking for your expertise on a daily basis, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you find something every other month.  It’s certainly worth your time and the best way to build your ‘brand of one’ is to put yourself out there.

Good Luck and happy Branding!…

The sun always shines somewhere. Because many Americans are headed south… business is suffering in the north… but getting better n the sun!

Ecuador’s Easter weekends are special..a family time of deep reverence and remembrance. No Easter bunnies, eggs or chocolate here!

More about Easter in Ecuador in a moment… first welcome to spring, this…

beautiful time of nature’s resurrection.

We have been out harvesting nature’s early gifts.

We are back at our North Carolina farm and I took this morning to walk and enjoy  this wonderful, rich season…when new life springs from apparent death.

Our most recent snow just melted and the creek is full.

The falls roaring.

I am not sure who loves the walks the most, me… or Ma.

watching life emerge.

During this economic downturn… the message of Easter and spring is even more important to take to heart.   There is no death… just change.  Each ending holds the seeds of a new… and better beginning.

We are also enjoying our Easter lilies from Ecuador.  Here are the first blooms I have set out at the farm entrance.

There were so many blooms that I had to put them into two vases. Here are the rest of  the blooms coming on our dining room table.

Yet just like all endings… we gain from the past as well… so our Christmas roses, which we dried, are still providing beauty in the farmhouse as well.

Merri, I and the staff at Meson de las Flores, send our best wishes for a happy holiday and great joy and prosperity this spring.

Easter in Ecuador is a wonderful family time when everyone gathers to eat Fanesca, an Ecuador Easter tradition. This is a very rich soup, made from squash and twelve different grains, (representing the disciples of Jesus) and salt cod since red meat is not eaten this day. Fanesca is a delicious Lenten chowder prepared to celebrate the unity of Ecuador (each grain represents a different part of the country) and to end the Lenten Fast. There are sliced boiled eggs on top and slices of rich ripe avocado also. Here is our chef, Santiago, with his Ecuadorian Easter fanesca.

His Easter fanesca is outstanding!

The view from Meson at Easter is of Jesus commanding the sunrise and…

an empty plaza.

Later the parades begin.

Everyone participates,  boys…

and girls.   Young…

and old.

Spring is here.  On this special season…

Cotacachi’s plaza will fill.

Meson will be ready…

for one of the busiest restaurant days.

Recognizing that for centuries the community has gathered on this day to celebrate the victory of this season in dance.

Merri and I send our earnest wish that you enjoy a happy holiday.
