Debbie Ducic, aka GutZy Woman has been involved with the internet since 1998, when she saw the potential for herself and other women to create income by working from home using a computer and internet technology. She also worked 30 plus years as an advocate for gender equality, entrepreneurism  and economic development for women. Those passions merged together when in 2008, GutZy Women LLC was born.

With a desire to create a truly global movement, Debbie took one step closer to her goal when she and her family picked up and moved to Australia in 2009. She is convinced the once male dominated internet marketing industry is now giving way to a much more balanced and woman friendly place thanks to social media and simplified software applications. As a result, Debbie’s on a mission to inspire, motivate and mentor women all over the world to use the internet and other communication technology to their benefit as long as it also benefits our people and our planet.

Celebration of Song at Dawn in Bondi

Our first morning at Bondi started out very early with unexpected live music and song taking place on the deck of our hotel performed by excited young Irish visitors celebrating the miracle of the gorgeous Australian morning in paradise.

I’ll never forget the excitement (no doubt inspired by the beers in their hands and the beauty of the beach at sunrise) by these young ones when the blue eyed, freckled one asked, “What can we be more grateful for than this”?

Listen as they sing and play with all of their might, welcoming strangers and connecting from the heart. Too bad our neighbors in the next room couldn’t “go with the flow” at 7 am, effectively stopping the performance and the camaraderie happening between hearts just because of the early hour. They respectfully left the scene, much to our dismay, as it was a unique celebration of life!

The miracle of social networking is revealed…

From now on, I would love you to meet some of the GutZy Women I’ve met on the Internet, through social networking sites, several whom I have now met up with personally right here in Australia. I bet you’ll want to get to know them, once I introduce you.

I was looking forward to sharing the video footage we took as we met them here in Australia on our way up the coast. However, if you have ever gotten totally frustrated with the digital world, then you can relate to how crushed I was when the video I took with my Flip camera simply disappeared as I was uploading it to my external hard drive (Now broken as well, which is a whole other story).

AAAHHHRRRGGG!

Thank goodness I at least have photo’s to show you who they are. I hope you look them up as they have so much to offer and they really care about people, especially women and their families, creatures and Mother Earth, totally PASSIONATE about how they can be of service to you and the world.

In this video, I meet face to face with…

Randa Magdi…A woman passionate about about animals and their welfare

Randa is one of those women who’s smile is contagious. Her passion for life and the animals of the world is undeniable. She has created such a valuable website for you, ESPECIALLY if you have dogs or cats, you really shouldn’t miss out!

She’s giving away two ESSENTIAL reports about the health, safety and happiness of your pets. I’ve read them and learned a lot, considering I have enjoyed lots of pets my entire life! (Just ask my family…I was the one always bringing home the dogs and cats to adopt.)

Here’s Randa’s Valuable & Interesting website

I encourage you to befriend her and pick her brain as a member of our free GutZy Women Virtual Clubhouse

Diane Corriette…a GutZy & Inspirational Guide

At the end of Video Part 6, Randa and I have a little fun with Diane Corriette of Women Internet Marketer’s fame who lives in the London, England area, a member of our GutZy Women International Alliance and one of Randa’s most beloved mentors.

Diane first connected Randa and me a couple of years ago through “Women Internet Marketers”. Diane is an AMAZING resource for not only Internet marketing but for spiritual guidance and abundant life coaching.

I’m sure you’ll LOVE Diane, so please join the Ning and befriend her as well…might as well befriend them both while you’re there.\

Thank you for following our Grand Australian Adventure…there is much more to come!

PS: In my previous emails I offered you a gift…an Special book authored by 50 AMAZING women offering their expertise for attracting that which you most desire in your life!

Here We Are, Sydney! Lets find Bondi Beach…
The “Sixth Sexiest Beach in the World”

Sydney, Australia is one of the most INCREDIBLE cities in the world!

The first time I visited Sydney 28 years ago I knew I had to come back
some day and spend more time exploring the beaches, the parks, the
architecture, the restaurants, the sights and the people.

I have NOT been disappointed! You won’t either…there is so much
to see and do you’d have to live here for years to take it all in.

You’ll be seeing much more of Sydney and the surrounding area in
future videos as well as phenomenal photo’s, but this particular video
takes you through a quick trip through Sydney on our way to Bondi
Beach, one of the oldest and most famous beaches on the outskirts
of Sydney.

SHARKS!!!

Bondi has just recently been in the headlines along with Bay Harbor
in Sydney for shark attacks. Scary and sad for the victims for sure,
but surely we have to realize that the ocean is their domain and with
any activity we do, we take a risk. Percentage wise, I’m sure they
suffer more than the humans who invade their territory.

In fact, the shark hunters were all up in arms because the Australian
government put a limit on the amount of sharks they can catch in an
attempt to keep the from extinction. The fisherman quoted in the paper
said he and his crew catch up to one hundred a day, stating that the
the authorities were making a mistake by cutting down on the limit.
His reasoning was if they are catching that many of them a day and
the fact that more people were being attacked, was it such a smart thing
to do?

One has to question, however, when there is profit motive involved, which
side is right. If YOU have some information to bring light on the subject
we would LOVE you to contribute!

After all, I’m big into Mother Nature and creating balance. That’s why I
and a whole team of concerned people have joined Social Traffic Inc. in
a celebration of the earth promoting MASS AWARENESS of Earth Day
on April 22nd by contributing to an online campaign we’ve named

EarthDay Birthday

And YOU can join us if saving our planet is a passion of yours as well.
Just CLICK HERE to contribute what you can and get some top notch
social media training in return. It’s a WIN/WIN/WIN!

Back to Bondi Beach…

Apparently it’s a popular place for the “beautiful people” and I first saw
it on a TV special called “The 10 Sexiest Beaches in the World”.
Yep, you guessed it…Bondi was in there, although I did observe that
there weren’t nearly as many “beach bunnies” laying in the sun for hours
because so many Australians have been turning up with skin cancer.
Skin cancer clinics are turning up all over the place.

The “beautiful people” are now doing much more healthy things like
jogging, sea kayaking, yoga on the grass. The food I found (other
than the very favorite dish, “fish & chips”) was nutritious as well as
pleasing to the eye.

Healthy, beautiful food…

Tons of fresh fish and seafood either grilled or lightly fried, tons of
remarkable and interesting salads, every kind of wrap you can imagine
with lots of greens. I was told by my friend, Sam Adkins, to watch out
because most people actually gain weight in Sydney, just because the
food is SO GOOD! Even the Czech food restaurant was GREAT. (Of
course we had to Czech (pun) that out…since my hubby and his
dentist friend, Honza,  who lives in Sydney, HAD to make a stop there.)

The hotel we stayed at was over 100 years old. The actual hotel part
was quite boutique-ee since most of the original building was turned
into a restaurant/nightclub/gambling establishment which as it turns
out was quite a popular place during the Christmas holidays.

Did you know gambling and prostitution is legal here in the
Land of Oz?

But it’s not like in States at all…it’s very regulated and kept low
key. Must be the English influence I figure. Very well done, I must
say because an interesting side to that is that where ever the vices
are allowed they are combined with warnings of addiction and offers
of help to deal with them if they get out of control.

There are HORRIBLE pictures on the packaging of cigarettes
showing all kinds of side effects of smoking. Every liquor store
or “bottle shop” as they call them has warnings. The drinking and
driving laws are VERY STRICT! They have random roadside
checks regularly with breathalizer testing ready.

As a result, everyone seems to know how many drinks are
considered appropriate depending on man or woman and
liquor strength. I’m  impressed by the effectiveness of the
Australian governments educational efforts!

Quite an interesting approach! One Americans could emulate.

Christmas holidays last for a month and it’s summertime…a perfect
time for families to enjoy the great outdoors. And enjoy they do!

As I did…not only in Sydney, but all around the Sydney beaches,
bays and famous sites. All revealed to you in future postings…

SO STAY TUNED!

Obviously it’s something that has to do with thin air, but what?

Take your best shot with this multiple choice quiz:

A. Spiritual gurus on a mountain summit manifesting cool things out of thin air?

B. Altitude sickness sufferers collectively test a new inhaler that works in the thin air of the mountains?

C. Experienced climbers gather to brainstorm ways to lessen the affects of thin air in order to reach the summit?

D. None of the above.

Trick question, actually, because it’s a bit of all three …

But before you continue reading the article, I would LOVE to hear YOUR first guess as to what is a Thin Air Summit? Come on, be creative! Could be fun.

In truth, The Thin Air Summit is the evolutionary outcome of an eclectic group of new media enthusiasts originally coming together to plan a “Podcamp.” But just as new technology and media morphs at the speed of light, so has the nature of this event , scheduled to happen in November 2008 in (drum roll please…) DENVER, COLORADO (Thin Air…get it?)

So what is a Podcamp? How is it different than a “New Media Conference”?A PodCamp is a usually a free “BarCamp-style” community UnConference (which just means an “unorganized conference,” shortened to the word UnConference.) for new media enthusiasts and professionals including bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, social networkers, and ANYONE curious about new media.

A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering of people born from the desire of each to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.

The first PodCamp was held September 8-10, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts. They’re now being held regularly all over the world, so they’ve proven to be quite popular events.

PodCamps aren’t just about podcasting.(I know…this gets confusing, with alll these new terms, so bare with me).If you’re interested in blogging, social media, social networking, podcasting, video on the net, audio, or you’re just curious about new media and how you can use it in YOUR endeavors, you definately want get involved.

If you’re eyes glazed over when you read those terms, it’s OK, you aren’t alone. 

You just haven’t read up on some of my other articles or watched my videos yet. It’s all there in short and simple, easy to understand articles. Hey, It’s important to your future success, especially if you run a  business or compete for donation dollars.

Then when you feel a bit more confident and don’t want to sit on the sidelines any more, please join in.

When Patti Serrano invited me to join her in crashing the Denver party and after a couple of “meetups” I’ve met some very “media savvy” men and women who will become incredible resources for me, as well as those I serve.

OK, so what makes the Thin Air Summit different than a Podcamp is that it has morphed into a “real conference” as opposed to an “Unconference” (an “unplanned” conference is now been shortened to the word: Unconference).

In other words , it IS an organized event  which will include experts in their fields to give primarily EDUCATIONAL presentations divided up into 3 different tracks: text, audio and video . The individual sessions will provide practical information relevant to creating better content in that particular medium.

They’re also planning some panel discussions. The panels will bring all three tracks together and be focused on new media topics that are relevant to all - both the practical, such as monetization, and the philosophical, such as “What is New Media and Why is it Important”.

So what’s in it for GutZy Women (or Brave Men ) like you?

Many of you might experience a fear or frustration when it comes to technology and multimedia marketing. The first step to getting over it is education. The next step is taking what you have learned and implementing it.

Sometimes, we need a little handholding, mentoring, inspiration and support in actually taking the action necessary to move forward.

The Thin Air Summit will be an UNBELIEVABLY VALUABLE place to be to learn, be inspired, connect, ask for help and the price is definitely right…LIKE FREE?

If the organizers hear from you powerful women and Enlightened Men out there who believe it’s important to include a greatly diverse bunch of qualified presenters, If you DO feel that way, there just might be a good showing of well qualified women speakers on stage at the event.

So forget all those expensive, overdone conferences that make your cash vanish into Thin Air! Rise to the Summit challenge. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone even if you feel it’s going to be too “techie” for you.

Events like this are a great opportunity to network with people who can teach you, mentor you and learn from you as well. As a matter of fact, the organizers are now in the process of looking for great presenters. Maybe you’re one?

^{In the mean time, what’s  your version of what the Thin Air Summit could be? Let’s hear your ideas in the comments down below… (Let’s keep it clean, OK?)}

Relativity Syndication CO-OP Economic Relief Package

Last October I became a Beta tester for Relativity’s syndication co-op which leverages the capabilities of Web 2.0 and social media to exponentially increase visitors  to my websites as well as blast out my content to the online world.I have been amazed by the results and have personally offered this system to those I felt had the kind of content that was top quality. And even though It was well worth the initial investment, most of the people I approached just couldn’t afford it right now.

Check out the article on my GutZy Women Website to discover what I’m talking about in detail.If you decide you want to hop aboard this fast moving train, and you qualify, please notify me once you submit your paid application.

Feel free to ask me or David questions (but please ONLY after you have read the offer and watched the video).

This syndication program so fits with GutZy Women’s mission to educate and support women (and Enlightened Men) in getting their messages out into the world and increasing their presence online! But I’m afraid the spots will fill up quicklybecause the money barrier has been removed for a short time.

This is NOT for everybody, but if your online content is GREAT, you owe it to yourself to get in!

Here’s Relativity’s RELIEF MESSAGE:
