Thank you to everyone who voted for my book and for the show – I could not have done it without your support. To express my appreciation, I will be providing free telephone coaching on Feb. 10th from 10 am to 4 pm (EST). You can call in with your burning question and I will answer it personally. In order to accommodate as many people as possible, I ask that you limit your call to 15 minutes. Call me at 905-829-2219 during the times listed above. (If your call is forwarded to voicemail, it means I am on the other line. Please do not leave a message as I cannot guarantee that calls will be returned; just try calling again later).

Hellen, You are very good at what you do! Congrats on winning the book award and the ‘Neat’ award! And you enjoy doing this. Reminds me of an old saying, “Those who enjoy what they do will never have to ‘work’ a day in their lives!” Thanks, Ron.
Congratulations Hellen!! You deserve it 🙂
Big huge congrats to you!! You are sooo deserving of the awards!!! Sure am hoping to be able to get my call through to you 🙂
P.S. Even my son (now 12 yrs) was a fan of your show neat…we used to watch and he loved to clean through his own stuff in both his bedroom and play/hangout room the next day.
Thank you all for being my cheerleaders – your support is amazing. Looking forward to chatting with you on the call.
