April One, Twenty Twenty-Three
Every now and then an opportunity arises that you probably never would expect. That happened to me last week and perhaps is why I have not written a Common Sense Health and Wellness substack post in a while.
I am not sure what I will do with the opportunity yet as I am still in the thinking mode, so I thought I would put it out to the universe. I mean, there is no better day than today.
My thinking is that my writing this substack, Common Sense Health and Wellness, I have attracted some attention. FYI- I am definitely not an attention seeker. But when I am offered an opportunity I still will go through the thought processes to decide if the opportunity is something I want to get involved in. I try my best not to reflexly just say yes or no to anything, other than politely declining when offered a kale salad for lunch. This is the same thought process I use when researching new treatment options outside of mainstream traditional medicine.
Is it safe?
Is it effective?
Are there any downsides not previously thought about?
How will it work with what we are presently doing?
Is this temporary or longer term?
Is this just a band aid or something that actually helps to fix a problem closer to its trigger or root cause?
Yes, these questions and more are always going through my head before I ever consider anything, whether it be a medical treatment or a new Carnivore recipe. In some ways, every day life decisions and preventive health decisions are not that different in how I go about decision making.
So here is the opportunity.
I will be asking your opinion soon as to whether you think I should move forward.
I have been offered the “Chief Editor” position with a new research journal that kind of meshes with my thought process. They have just started but are ready to expand and the original Editor does not want the position moving forward.
Here is one of their abstracts.
I assume they have read some of Common Sense Health and Wellness and think I would be a good fit.
So not to belabor this discussion let me get right to the question I have for all of you.
I will be posting the results of the poll in a future substack.
Thank you in advance for reading Common Sense Health and Wellness as well as helping me to decide whether it is a good opportunity for me.
If you have any other comments, words of wisdom or anything else to say to me about this opportunity, please do so in the comments section.
It’s hard to keep track of everything we have lost in the New Normal, but let us add the fun of the first of April to the ever growing list. Hard to believe that this is the fourth 1 April and counting in the longest and saddest April Fool’s joke to befall us in the history of mankind…..
I have to admit you are clever.
It must be hard to upstage yourself each year. Do you start planning for 4/1/2024 on 4/1/2023?
Good luck with your new position!
