The physical pain I experienced during the writing of my first newsletter, or when I first designed and wrote copy for my website, and anything else that was and is a first time event for me, is very real and very uncomfortable. The upside of this is once the new is mastered, the physical pain miraculously disappeared. For me it s a comfort zone thing. I really know I m alive when I m outside my comfort zone.

Stepping out this zone can be scary and lonely, and involves stretching and growing; this is the bit where physical pain comes into it. When I was little I remember my mother telling me I was suffering from growing pains because my legs ached, or my knees ached, as a matter of fact anything that ached was due to growing pains. Expanding the comfort zone for me is much the same. The...

These days the finest restaurants take pride in their lobster recipes and Surf and Turf presentations. Besides being a versatile and delicious meal, shellfish such as lobster, shrimp and oysters, have a good taste for health.
