Each week we will honor a woman that has truly made a difference by her
contributions, courage, love, and selflessness. Women honored will be chosen from inside AdlandPro, outside AdlandPro, living in the present, and yes, we will not forget those heroines that paved the way for the freedoms we now enjoy.   We will honor women who have shown tremendous courage and fortitude against all odds.

Assisting us in coordinating these awards are four outstanding ladies who are Women of Courage in their own right.

 What is courage? How do we define it? Is it an acquired trait? Does it come with practice? How do we manifest courage in our own lives?

I ask these questions as I think of the life of the woman we honour today. Without a doubt, she did not expect to be singled out and celebrated as a woman of courage and vision. Yet, she has demonstrated the courage to pave new paths, to push past what was considered safe or appropriate. In so doing, she created an expanded vision of what is possible for all of us to achieve.

One day talking with Luella May I gave her a name to be honoured in her WOMAN OF COURAGE forum.  I mentioned Nancy Herring, Luella told me if I could write the article and I accepted.

I know Nan since December 2005.  At that time we were members in WOSAT. Since then, I have seen her in many forums and she is a regular member in my forums. We have seen great messages and some good articles sent by her.

Nancy is a Brave Woman. NANCY LOVES TO LIVE and she sacrifices anything and everything to make life good for herself and all the people she knows. She is very active in AdLandPro. I don’t think there are forums without her posts and replies. She is an extremely talented woman, always ready to be there for her friends.

Anyone who knows NAN HERRING can't help but love her.

Nancy Herring was born at 6:00 am on August 5, 1947.  She has a younger sister that was born on December 12, 1951.

Just before her 15th birthday, Nan lost her mother.  This made it extremely difficult for her and while yet a child, she had to assume the responsibilities of running a household.  Through these very hard years, Nan excelled in taking care of the house, taking responsibility for her younger sister, all the while going to school and completing her assignments.  She did her utmost to keep her family happy and united.  Nan did not let these challenges discourage her and she was the first one in her family to graduate from Troy High School.  Since then, Nan has gone on to take additional business and accounting classes.

At age of 27, God called her Father up to Heaven.   Nancy states that “Though a sad time, I still have some wonderful memories to hold onto and to cherish. I have two angels of my own in Heaven.”

Life is a gift and Nancy decided to be active, she looked to the future. She invested 15 years working as a clerk for the Albany County Board Of Elections. In March of 1983, she met her "soon to be best friend" that a girl could ever have.  The love of her life,  Steve, and she hit the road with our wonderful new candy company and travelled up and down the entire east coast, working the business and attending many auctions along the way.

Six years ago she won an old 3.1 computer in a $5.00 raffle at an auction in Aiken, Georgia. She hauled it home and began to take lessons to learn the basics. It was here that she began promoting a few MLM programs, while becoming interested in eBay.  She decided that now was the time to invest in their first REAL computer. This started a whole new phase in her life.

Soon, she was either Manager or Co-manager of no less then 11 MSN groups at a time; building sites, learning graphic programs, and advertising her MLM projects on the Internet.

Later on through these programs she met a known person in this community. Kenneth Sword the CEO of www.bizzyblogz.com . Kenneth is her mentor and a very good friend. They worked many projects together and when BizzyBlogz started, Nancy had to learn to blog. This is also the time where she contracted the ever contagious BBF. She says “Not to worry. I know it sounds awful, but it is just Bizzy Blogz Fever."  Kenneth invested the time to show her the ropes until she was able to move forward on her own. Today, she has four Blogs that are doing extremely well. “I am blessed with all of this knowledge, and today I can teach and answer questions for other members. That is so very cool!”

Six months ago, she was introduced to Rick Allen, the owner of www.rewardsrewards.com. Since then they have been working on a great new concept in shopping. 

“It has all the features that you could hope for to include local merchants, a fine donation program, and... a cash vault” she says.

This is a web site where you can win money just for using the site to shop through. You get cash back on all purchases including eBay. They officially launch on November 10th. They are expecting it to grow quickly and she would suggest that everyone goes and join now at... http://www.TGAMMFM.rewardsrewards.com . She hopes hope you noticed those wonderful letters in the web address (TGAMM FM).

Nancy is doing a superb promotion and a very good work in AdLandPro. Her TGAMM FM messages and post are read by all the members. About two months ago, she met the General Manager of TGAMM, Joe Buccheri. She enjoys the variety of music offered at TGAMM FM (The Great American Music Machine). Their free radio player can be downloaded at: http://www.tgamm.com.

Thank you Nan allowing me to write this article.  Thank you Luella May for this nice page you host honouring and featuring brave women. It was an honour to approach you both.

Cordial Regards

Georgios
