One of the most exciting things we've found now is the internet is not only about information -- for years it was and is a great resource to find facts -- but about shared experiences. The net affect, which I think you are aiming so well at in your world, are people answering the three most profound needs:

1) am I alone?
2) am I crazy?
3) I can do THAT and make impact?

The last one is the most exciting to me, because so many of us feel health is to be done by someone else. But we are, in fact, co-pilots and responsible for our own health and leadership. When we see other folks take actions and have impact, we are empowered to do the same. There lies the revolution -- true revolution -- in health and otherwise.

Visit our experiences at healthcentral.com -- I wonder if we can be helpful to you at all?

How many folks do you reach?
how engaged are they?
what are their greatest needs?
of what are you most proud?
what keeps you up latest at night?

This is a very exciting idea, and I was pleased to find it. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Best, Chris
