The first time I wrote this page, I was firmly under the influence of the internet marketing experts. I was convinced that I needed powerful headlines in three different colours to capture my readers' attention: Stressed Beyond Endurance? Suffocated by unreasonable demands – personally and professionally? Drowning in debt? Permanently exhausted? Feel And Look Twice Your Age? Relationship burn-out? SERIOUS WARNING! You may unknowingly be suffering from a very dangerous condition: STRESS!  Stress destroys your happiness, your relationships, your work satisfaction, your financial potential, your appearance, your confidence, your peace of mind and your zest for life The next step is to introduce one self - according to the most successful internet marketers, readers want to know who is behind the website and what the website is about - This make a fair amount of sense so I wrote: Welcome to Relax-and-Rejuvenate.com. My name is Margaretha. On this page you will find an introduction to an exceptional and user-friendly e-book: The Survive and Thrive! e-book focuses on Health, Wealth, Success and Happiness. Now my readers knew my name and what this page promotes but not if they should can take me seriously. Very seriously, I added: I understand how stressful every day living can be. I am a retired medical doctor and after seventeen years in medical practice, treating weight- and stress-related diseases, I decided that I will be of more use if I focused on prevention rather than cure. Stress causes and contributes to a very large variety of diseases. It also affects your self-confidence, relationships, your earning potential and your emotional equilibrium. Stress accelerates the aging process and can make you feel permanently tired and depressed. I then thought that all this doom and gloom is a bit off-putting, especially since my best e-book yet is called Survive and Thrive! - whatever the internet marketing gurus advise. To reassure my readers that all is not lost, I added: The great news is that you're about to discover simple, easy strategies to solve almost any conflict and substanially reduce your stress levels! E-Book: Survive and Thrive e-book  I hoped that what I had writing so far would be clear and concise enough to get my message across, but those famous internet marketeers insist that one signs off with one last motivating statement: Remember: Prolonged stress can destroy your relationships and permanently damage your health and is related to diseases like cancer, depression, stomach ulcers and heart attacks - so click on the links above and do something about it TODAY. In all honesty, it is both amusing and rather boring once you realise that most home pages follow this prescribed pattern religiously. Feeling I had done my duty to those most helpful and expensive internet marketing experts, I decided to write the rest of the website completely differently. I hope you will find it useful and entertaining and I am looking forward to hearing from you - or even better - welcoming you to one of the workshops at Alegria!            Kind Regards Margaretha
