Re: Anyone else here can submit my story in their own words....

[Guest guest]

This is OUR CHANCE!!!! Just dumb luck that I already wrote the bookand went to check out Readers Digest on the advice given me on thisforum. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it.

Joe, I have obviously missed something here, what did you see in Readers Digest?

Joe,

Where is it we can post our review?

If it's here on this site I can not find it:

http://truenorthsnacks.com/story/

Or do you mean here?

http://www.lulu.com/content/5370145

I have been a member on this board for almost 4 years and have read

many posts from excited members on how they want to get the word out

about LDN. Let's see what they're made of now. This is an opportunity

to really do something positive. Time for the thousands of members to

act.

I have just submitted Joe's story to Reader's Digest's True North

competition. It literally took me just ten minutes. I have to say, I

have my doubts that Reader's Digest will choose Joe's story as the

winner when you look at the pages and pages of drug advertising that is

included in their magazine these days. In fact, I cancelled my

subscription with them a few years ago when I became sick and tired of

the pages of small print, mainly warning of the side effects of the so-

called lastest and greatest drug, and this was BEFORE I became sick

last year. But I digress. When I saw that Helen Hunt was the

director of the show, I felt a glimmer of hope. I have always admired

Helen as an actress and was surprised to see her in this role. Maybe

we have a chance after all. Best of luck Joe - if you win, we all win.

Cheers, Nettie

Go Nettie!!!

Thanks so much.

Don't let the drug company stuff stop you. You never know. The

editor at RD might have an auto immune problem and we might be a shoo

in, right?

It's certainly worth the effort. The payoff would be bigger than any

other one thing I can imagine.
