If you're on facebook, you might just have more experience than someone else AND you might have a question. So I set up this area for YOU (and me) to come and share. We all have something in common: we want to have people get health information they are seeking. Lumigrate's foundation is 'progressive, streamlined, valid, FUN', and that combined with effective marketing should translate into growth in numbers and efficacy. Remember, anyone can start a new "Topic" in the forum areas. Hitting the Print buttons available in all the areas yield a really spiffy looking copy that can be distributed, shared, posted... kept for your reference. (Others can learn from YOU).
Lumigrate's approaching it's 10th month and we've built a really nice, solid group of friends and fans on facebook. We utilize the facebook for daily interest and telling people what's going on with the website's increasing information .. it's fast, FUN, and very available for people to be able to help others find out about us. (But that information 'goes along' fast, and naturally the website's capacity to build Forums within 'Containers', with Topics in the Forums that YOU can start on your own is 'where the real action is'.
We're starting to be asked by people for advise, and some experts have been pretty complimentary of our facebook presence. We've had some missteps as well, and will continue to work to do our best every day to bring more quality people to our fan pages, Mardy's personal page, and phase out the Lumigrate Webucation page (which was an honest oversight in 2009 but people haven't transitioned to the fan pages we established in November real easily. Naturally, we value your Comments, so plesae them below if you want! And then take it away with Topics in this Forum or others! ~~ Thanks so much, Mardy
Live and Learn. Learn and Live Better! is my motto. I'm Mardy Ross, and I founded Lumigrate in 2008 after a career as an occupational therapist with a background in health education and environmental research program administration. Today I function as the desk clerk for short questions people have, as well as 'concierge' services offered for those who want a thorough exploration of their health history and direction to resources likely to progress their health according to their goals. Contact Us comes to me, so please do if you have questions or comments. Lumigrate is "Lighting the Path to Health and Well-Being" for increasing numbers of people. Follow us on social networking sites such as: Twitter: http://twitter.com/lumigrate [1] and Facebook. (There is my personal page and several Lumigrate pages. For those interested in "groovy" local education and networking for those uniquely talented LumiGRATE experts located in my own back yard, "LumiGRATE Groove of the Grand Valley" is a Facebook page to join. (Many who have joined are beyond our area but like to see the Groovy information! We not only have FUN, we are learning about other providers we can be referring patients to and 'wearing a groove' to each other's doors -- or websites/home offices!) By covering some of the things we do, including case examples, it reinforces the concepts at Lumigrate.com as well as making YOU feel that you're part of a community. Which you ARE at Lumigrate!
