Hello Everyone,

It has been a LOONNGG while since I reached out to my newsletter friends and associates….2010 has proven, thus far, to be a VERY busy year! I do want to say, many many thanks to all those who have regularly emailed me and inquired about the projects, etc. that I have underway. We are now back on track with the newsletter and you all will be getting a monthly newsletter update from yours truly going forward (only once a month…I do not believe in spamming!). And for those of you that may be a little “out of the loop”, here is a quick update on the goings on in “Traci’s world” and the C.H.A.M.P. projects/initiatives (and for those who are even more in the dark about C.H.A.M.P., please check out: www.traciscampbell.com and www.thechampinyou.com)

Sooo…without further ado…here is the skinny on what is new:

1) The eBook version of the book and workbook “The C.H.A.M.P Within” is available via both websites mentioned above. The response has been better than expected (check out the testimonial pages on the websites…very cool!), but we have received MANY more requests for the paperback version of the book and workbook.

2) And speaking of the paperback version of “The C.H.A.M.P Within” book and workbook…we had a minor delay in the month of May with the printer. All has been worked out (thank goodness) and we anticipate the paperback version to be available in July 2010. Of course, we will keep everyone posted!

3) After a 5 month hiatus, we just posted a new episode of ‘Heroes At Home Radio” (www.heroesathomeradio.com). This internet podcast has been doing great (despite my recent tardiness with posting shows). We have roughly 850 regular subscribers/followers currently and many more “tire kickers” as well. Not bad for a show we have not actively marketed and will only start to market sometime this year.

4) Later this month, we will start uploading video blogs [and thanks to those folks who regularly read my blog (www.blog.traciscampbell.com) and definitely let me know their thoughts/comments. Much appreciated]. Written commentary will still be there…but we will incorporate very candid and informal video as well. Stay tuned.

5) And….as a result of the feedback from the book/workbook and a host of other meetings and “powwows”, we are launching a documentary/reality “show” in Houston! Yes…I have been doing some traveling back and forth to Houston from Chicago;  they are really excited down there to support and be the first host city for (drum roll please….) “The C.H.A.M.P. Experiment”. The show will be based on the concepts in the book/workbook and will feature real life teens, parents, etc. who really want to change their lives for the better. And what’s even more cool….we get to work with sponsors who want to assist us in making the dreams of these hard-working folks come true! HOW AWESOME! (Can you tell I am kinda excited!?).  So, more updates on this project will surely be forthcoming, but in the meantime, check out the marketing/promo video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtofU4aZb_c

And would you do me a favor? Please be sure to leave comments and ratings…I really appreciate the help!   And feel free to subscribe to the channel as well.

That is it for now, folks!  I have a very busy summer ahead of me and I will make it a point to update you all monthly as we (my team here in Chicago and the team in Houston) embark on this new adventure. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Until next month….

Hugs and Blessings
