http://sites.google.com/site/thegreenlifeproject has started making an impression on the google search rankings! For me this is really exciting. I have been looking for a way to make money online for years and without success, until I really started doing my homework and putting hours on the computer. I was really successful for sometime with my primary source of income which is painting pinstripes on new cars at the dealerships until the economy started to slow down. It hit me and my family hard and bills were taking up all the money I had and there seemed to be a cloud of doom and gloom floating about me. I was motivated to make a change and that is what I have done. I have started to talk to people through the website about living healthy and the one thing I love more then anything else, HIKING! Hiking is the best thing one can do in order to get back to the roots of life and really have some time to get out and think about all the things that can be solved or changed about oneself and ones life. I went out by myself and hiked 450 miles in 23 days on the Appalachian Trail. I was going through alot of life changing things at that point in time like a 10 year breakup, business was falling, my health was seemingly deminishing from stress I suppose. I hit the trail with a brain that resembled a birds nest, and began to take it apart piece by piece to find out what my deal was. I was emeresed in the beauty of nature with no distractions and no concerns about the real life which gave me the time I needed to really concentrate on me. Not everyone will have the same experience I had, but I know would. I spent alot of time thinking about the perfect woman that I would want in my life and really focused on that for days and days. When I got back I swear to god, she came to me and we are now engaged to be married. I thought of different ways to make money and try to help people in the process, and thats when I thought of http://sites.google.com/site/thegreenlifeproject/ ! I knew people would come check it out, and I knew it was something that could make me a little money and hopefully teach people a few things. I also try to get sponsored links to donate money to charities. I want people to be as informed as possible before going on thier hikes and also to have the right gear so I included alot of links for people to get gear. All in all I am trying to promote health and active lifestyles. I am sorry this blog is so choppy, I havent thought anything through about it, I am essentially "shooting from the hip" because the weather in FL is horrible today and I am seriously bored.
