I need this job my house is quite literally falling apart and i need to go to the doctors.

If i had this job for at least 3 months I would be able to move my family out of this rotting home and into a better one.

I'm a very kind person who's been looking for a job for a very long time and i just cant find one i can't even find someone to teach me how to drive i need this job so i can get a new home, car, and to take my sick pet to the vet.

I'm so sorry for rambling on like this but you must know why im even doing this it pains me to see that i know im not even going to win this im not even doing it for myself either my mother is in constant pain and a constant unhappy mood along with myself having no where to go and no one to help us out. I REALLY need this, please consider me kindly.

I absolutely need this job.

I am being completely honest when I say, being alive makes me happy. I'm known to friends and to family as always turning things into the positive, and making people a bit festered with their complaints when I turn it into an opportunity to feel good about something. I always carry things with me to cheer up others as well. Silly things like a glockenspiel, or water color set, bubbles on my necklace or anything I enjoy to share with others. Not only do I know I would be great at this, but I want to put others in a good mood everyday. The enternet is such a fast paced device with the capability to truly motivate. I am currently also publishing a book, with a similar concept only through autobiographical pregression. I'm known to make silly poems to cheer others up as well. Good mood, I want to write about you everday! And I already do!

Hi! I think this was meant to be! I just heard of SAM-e for the first time today when I was perusing the internet! Only a few hours later I stumbled across the information about becoming a Good Mood Blogger for SAM-e! A coincidence? I think not! It just so happens that I am also a very happy blogger! I write daily posts about life, images, observation, inspiration and a little humor! My day job is working as an independent sales consultant for the past two years, so I'm extremely organized, energetic and a very motivated self starter! I would love, love, LOVE to be the Good Mood Blogger for SAM-e! 'Nuf said!

Interesting opportunity, I will spread the word, thanks!

What a wonderful opportunity to express the happiness that life brings. Everyday is filled with goodness. The opportunity to help people search through the muck and mire of the daily grind and lift their spirits with with happiness would be an effective use of my experienced writing skills. I have years of experience in communicating ideas and concepts to readers through writing. I look forward to this opportunity.

Geri C Wednesday, October 07, 2009

Amazing contest and opportunity. I'm excited to participate! By the way, I applied , but was not able to upload a photo. No matter what photo I tried, I kept getting an error message stating my photo was nt in the acceptable format. I upload photos to various sites all the time and never have this problem. I submitted my application anyway, but I feel like it loses some of it's personality without a face to go with the story. Can anyone help me upload a photo to my app or is it too late? Thanks!

I have applied for this terrific job, but reckon that those people who already have jobs will have a better chance of getting more votes - they have an inbuilt system of networking. Also, for some reason my photo isn't appearing on my profile page. Any suggestions? Oh well, good luck to whoever wins this and the product is awesome!

This job sounds like my dream job! I am a mother of twins who are 3 years old and I am constantly searching for a way to not only better the lives of my children but also the lives of my husband and myself. I am going to apply and hope to hear from someone soon!

I am definitely applying. I have a food blog and post interesting recipes...some good and not so good (grins) for you!
I have a fulltime job, a retired husband (my second fulltime job!), adult kids and grandkids and loads of great friends.
Just today I was asked to have a link to my blog put on a Healthy Heart Blog...and the writer said she loved reading my blog because it is so upbeat. This is meant to be my job!!

Roxanne Darling Tuesday, October 13, 2009

I left a comment here last week; maybe it is still in the moderation queue?

I think it is lovely to see so many positive thinkers coming forward. I like the idea of adding this energy to the mood of the internet too; it can be so spammy and critical at times. ;-)

I've entered myself as well:

I'm ever so grateful a dear male friend of mine that introduced me to SAM-e from Paris France that is a pharmacist name Ivan. He took notice my inability to balance out my daily routines living with a parent and also a job employment that offered no room for advancement. For a period of time I would write him daily e-mails about my feeling towards him. Then one day, my world seemed to fold over with sadness. Ivan e-mails me back to respond to a concern temperament and explained to me how SAM-e is well recommend in Paris and to trust his recommendation to me. I went to Wallgreens one late evening to purchase the product.
With amazement my mood started to change for the better. The little things that concerned me didn't worry me anymore. I was able to move on and look forward and break a smile. My mood has changed colors from gray to pink.I call it pinkatietics syndrome.

Anita Tuesday, October 13, 2009

This sounds like a wonderful job and I'm sure will be inspiring both to the journalist and the readers - I would love to apply for such an exciting position, but I regret to say that my generation isn't that savvy when it comes to electronic networking and voting!

Eleanor G Biddle Tuesday, October 13, 2009

We chose to come to earth and make the best decisions in life. Even though I didn't make perfect decisions throughout my life, I am in a perfect spot in my life. I am a "lunch lady" for a local high school and absolutely find the women I work with inspiring. We all take our job seriously but not a day goes by when we don't find something to laugh about. I love being around them and just don't get enough! I not only work there I also am in training for a medical transcriptionist, which I am totally passionate about. I respect the high standards I must reach on a daily basis (whether in the lunchroom or studying). This blog I am applying for would be wonderful to be a part of! Thank you for your time! Have an astounding day full of healthy choices!

P.S. I am also married to the love of my life and have three children, one girl and two boys.

"They" say that laughter is the best medicine. I cannot say that laughter cures everything but I do know -from experience- that it does make burdens a little lighter!

I am a single mother to four children (two boys, 21 and 18; two girls, 17 and 9) and a new, first-time Granny. Being a single mom can be hard even on the best days but we make it. Best of all, most of the time, we make it through laughter.

I find that when we encounter difficulties, even difficult people, a smile it the best defense. Think about it...when someone is angry or upset and you offer a smile, it is hard for them not to reciprocate. Even the most stubborn people, when face to face with a smiling person, has a hard time not smiling in return.

So, smile! You never know when your smile will be the one thing that makes a major difference in someone's day...or, maybe, their life.

If I was to get this extra job . I would use all of this money to stalk the food pantry at the Family Homeless Shelter that I work full time at... Plus I have a great outlook on life... and love to be on the computer ..BUT if I don't WIN then I think my friend Paula from vancouver would be the next best person in line.. She is always happy , kind, generous, curitious, outgoing, outdorsy.. (if that is a word) and She loves life... and all people..

Tori Vogt Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Health is wealth. Although I'm not a health professional, I speak first-hand about the benefits of taking care of one's self. At age 41, I'm in the best shape of my life, and more productive than ever! Good health starts from within -- whether we choose to focus on positive or negativity thinking, what we choose put into our bodies like SAM-E supplements and nutritious foods, and exercising regularly. Sure, life has its ups and downs and thanks to a balance of healthy living, including proper rest and appropriate supplements like SAM-E, anyone can maintain a steady mood and enjoy every day to the fullest.

Pamela Munro Tuesday, October 13, 2009

How interesting - a mood blogger! I am a performer/teacher/musician who has a pennypinching blog(see above)and who has also written for magazines (ESTYLO)and newspapers (Country Connection)in addition to having done book reviews and worked as a writing coach and teacher for others. I have always met my deadlines and have proved myself to be a responsible writer. My day is spent on the internet - using social media (Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, zannel.com, LinkedIn etc.) to support my artistic work & my pennypinching. All these connections are maintained regularly - and as you can see, I am disciplined and organized besides being creative. (I have also been a social media "intern" for www.wowowow.com.)My blog will definitely give you a sense of my style. I admire Theresa Borchard of Beyond Blue at Beliefnet (take a look at her) and would love to have my own forum to express my ideas and feelings about maintaining a positive mood (with the help of you Sam-E, of course.) Natural remedies are of great importance to me - in addition to the role nutrition plays in maintaining one's overall health and well being. I have been buying your products for years, and using your points to get money off! It's not always easy for me to maintain my moods, but over the years I have developed gambits both physical and mental (besides help like Sam-E) to help me keep on an even keel. I recommend Sam-E to any of my friends and acquaintances who are having trouble with mood swing - as it is a definite part of what I do for myself daily. Best luck on your new project!

Ruth (Cox) Norman Tuesday, October 13, 2009

I want, as well as need, this job! Good mood blogging goes well with spreadin' a bit o' sunshine, which is what I do daily! Of course, I've lots of extra time to do that now that I am unemployed, other than just recently starting my web hosting and design business (which is doing fairly well :-)

Laura Wednesday, October 14, 2009

I'm 100% positive, upbeat and optimistic (laying it on thick aren't I?) this Good Mood Writing Gig was created for me.

Arrogance? nah, arrogance is truly not my style. This job is just perfect. Why?

I'm a professional writer and former Marketing/Advertising Director. I write about natural health and mood balancing all day. I do thorough, uncompromising research, and can blog in a chatty, upbeat, and funny way. I have fun doing it. I love it.

I meet all my deadlines, am organized, creative and reliable(see my website testimonial from former editor).

I blog, I actively do social media via Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and....I know how to be viral in my marketing.

I walk the walk.

I've been on Sam-e for 12 years and although I can't and won't claim it cured my moody ails (lots of things did, natural hormone balancing, exercise, other supplements), there is NO question I take this stuff every day of my life because it sets the tone of my daily mood.

If I miss a dose, I feel "off" in the most subtle way.

If I was lucky enough to be sitting in front of you, (he or she who is deciding on this), I'd ask you: while I KNOW the public vote is what gets us to Phase 2, for those of us who just found this job but are PERFECT for the gig (hint, me), please consider reviewing the applicants and going off MORE than strictly public voting numbers in phase 1.

Here's to changing our mood, even just a little. It matters, it's contagious. Our moods radiate to others and inch by inch, we change the world. Call me Pollyanna, but I've seen it work :)

Thank you!!
Laura Owens

April Fool's Day and guess what, you're getting laid-off. After 10 years in PR and marketing, I never imagined losing my job. (Oh, did I mention that my husband had already lost his job last December.)

This time has renewed my relationships with family, friends and my husband. More importantly, it's given me clarity into what makes me happy, fulfilled and at peace in this world.

I want this job to share a little hope, a few laughs, and to pay my bills!

Love,
Deanna

I am married with 2 teenagers, 2 dogs, a house, a full time job and will be 50 in a few months. I started taking Sam-e good a while back to help with my mood swings. My PMS is off the wall, I usually can hold on to it except with my immediate family. I am so sorry for that.
I feel more like myself when I take the Sam-e and would love to share my stories and diaries.

What a great opportunity to share good feelings with other people. I have always been a positive person. Even when life gave me lemons; I made lemonade. I worked in the auto industry for 32 years. My job paid me well, so I could raise two children. I am now retired and enjoying the rest of my life. I wake up thankful and in a good mood. I go to bed at night ready for sleep, because I have stayed active all day. This would be another learning experience for me, and of course benefit others.

Christie Mack Sunday, October 18, 2009

I love to write. It is not only a hobby, and a gift but also a lifestyle of mine. I like to evoke the most intense of emotions and illustrate them into words the effect all that read them. I write about what was, what is, and what will be. It is through words that we discover more about ourselves. Within each letter dwells a multifaceted purpose that turns into a word, which then develops a phrase that best represents an idea, fueled by and emotional spark. I am perfect for this job because it is who I am and it is something that I would gladly do for free.

Hello,

I've been using Nature Made SAM-e for over a year and I really love it. I was excited to see this contest. When I started reading some of the comments, I thought that instead of having one winner, maybe there should be 3. The reason being if we don't like the "style" of the winner, then we won't read the blog. Having 3 (or more) gives the readers an option if we find one writer to be inept, boring, or annoying, then hopefully one of the other writers would be more to our liking. Just a thought.

Becca Tuesday, October 20, 2009

The Sun rises as I try to sleep in. It's the first we've seen of the sun in days and it warms me as well as the whole house up. It's finally a perfect day to go outside and my mom, sister and I have already made plans to go geocaching. [Geocaching is like mini treasure hunts in the outdoors using a GPS].

It's still a little frosty and we assure ourselves that it will be warmer as the day goes on. So they pack in preparation for their flight home and I ask them to help me finish hanging up the fan from Thailand that we decided looked best on my office wall. My house usually only gets decorated when my sister comes to visit because she's so good at it and she motivates me with her excitement and ideas.

I'm glad that we waited, because not only does my office look nicer, but my husband called to say he's on his way home from work. I am thrilled because he's been really busy this week and hasn't been able to spend time with us. Not only that, he'll get to come geocaching and then I won't have to just tell him about it.

It's a beautiful day. We drive over Eagle Creek reservoir, always one of my favorite places. We crunch our way through the red, orange, yellow and brown leaves half on the tree and half fallen on the ground. We find a couple of caches and don't find another. We've enjoyed the beautiful woods trying to find the right trails to get to the caches without fording every stream and bush wacking like crazy. Thanks to my husband who likes to run ahead and tell us the best way to go.
My mom and sister are tired and we have one more cache left. They decide to go back to the car as my husband and I go to the last one. We've never been on these trails before. They are stunning as the fall colors reflect in the reservoir. It's just the two of us. It's nice. Luckily we're able to find the cache, trade for different prizes and try to hurry back. I've already loaded my husband down with the camera and the camelbak so that I can run faster. He runs behind me as we jump over tree limbs, practicing our parkour moves (parkour-getting from one place to another in the most direct route) in the autumn afternoon. He laughs and says "you are so fun!" "Why?" "You just look fun, running down the trail". My mom and sister get to the airport in plenty of time and we get to relax and watch some movies together. It's a good day.

Don't forget to vote for me at http://www.sam-e.com/job/profile/564
P.S. Smile-it puts you in a good mood.

C'mon keep the votes comin! My outmost thanks goes to everyone that has voted for me. I please ask for everyone's support and for a chance at this.

Jerry & Kimberly Peterson Friday, October 23, 2009

We are full-time RVers, many years away from retirement but have chosen to live our dream lifestyle. We have to work our way around the country and there are times when that is tough. Our childhoods were not very positive but we refuse to allow that to create our futures. Instead we choose to live each day as if it may be our last, following our hearts and live in the moment with a positive attitude. Not always easy but we find a way to live this lifestyle with smiles and love in our hearts.

Our dream includes traveling, taking photos, and writing about things we love. Being in a good mood is something we strive for every moment and we would love to share our adventures with you all.

This opportunity would make such a huge difference in our lives. Not just financially but sharing our stories daily with so many readers would be a dream come true and one more item to take off of our bucket list.

Thank you for allowing us to be a participant in this wonderful adventure. this has to be a tough decision to make and we wish you all the best, remember always go with your gut feeling, it never steers you wrong.

Judy Schaap Saturday, October 24, 2009

Good day! What a bunch of great bloggers the voters have to choose from.

I'm quite excited at the opportunity to put my talents to use for this Good Mood Gig! Writing is one of the great loves of my life. Inspiring other people through action and conversation has become a happy part of my life.

Nature Made SAM-e has been a part of my daily regimen for many years and I'm glad to be able to now offer them something in return... my skills, passions and delight in life.

Kindly take a peek at my page and, if you are so moved, click the purple button to the right of my photograph. I'd be honored to have you vote for me.

The blogger opportunity is an exciting idea, but I'm a little surprised that voting and applications occurred at the same time during October. It allowed one heck of a head start for applicants at the beginning of registration versus the tail end.

Then again I've begun to realize that if someone wins due to an truly large fan base behind their vote that would certainly guarantee a grand launch to the blog itself. Crafty albeit biased stroke of genius!

Belinda OBrien Sunday, November 01, 2009

Oh my a Good Mood Blogger what a perfect job for me! I Love writing to my friends about everything and anything. I keep in touch with everyone via facebook, that way I can talk to several friends at once instead of the old fashioned way(the phone)!

Lets talk a little bit about my attitude! My motto is if you can't have fun at work don't go! I have a Love for Life and People, and it shows in everything that I do! I am absolutely a self-starter, in the home based business that I am in I have risen above and beyond expectations. Receiving top awards for recruiting, sales and time spent in the company.

One thing my friends always say about me is that they can rely on me for anything and I love that! Because I would not want to let anyone down.

WV_Hills Monday, November 02, 2009

I love Nature Made products -- when I have a choice I always choose Nature Made over another brand of supplement. How perfect to have a blog devoted to achieving and maintaining a 'good mood' every day. I only read one blog -- 'Chickens in the Road' (www.suzannemcminn.com) but if she is writing your blog, I might just have to make it two blogs a day.

Andrew Calder Tuesday, November 03, 2009

I just wanted to let you and anyone and everyone who may be a tad sad today... that it will pass. Chin up, get up, stand up, lift up and step outside and just get moving. Stick out your hand and offer help to another. I think a good definition for depression is yet manifested courage.

The other thing I would like to add is yesterday I stumbled upon a website with little blog videos by a wonderful spirited funny and delightful woman named Brigitte Dale. See for yourself http://brigittedale.com/blog/ She is simply AMAZING. I discovered that she has applied to be your Good Mood ambassador. I cannot think of a better qualified and more perfect human being on earth for the job. Sam-e would be lucky to have her.

Becca Tuesday, November 03, 2009

Surprises. I love surprises. Good suprises. Little surprises. Like when my husband comes home with his hands behind his back and says “I think you’re really neat” and then gives me flowers. I enjoy hearing from a friend I haven’t heard from for a long time or that Christmas gift you weren’t expecting. My family growing up would try to disguise our Christmas gifts under the tree. We would add extra weight, put gifts in weird shape boxes, or put a note in a fun filled box which didn’t have the real item in it. It was fun.
Not only do I like surprises, I like figuring things out and so it’s often hard to surprise me. I’ve ruined a few good surprises, for example the time when my husband was going to propose to me. I was not expecting him to propose to me after picking me up from my eight day work week at a wilderness camp. It would have been an awesome surprise. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a hold of him before I made arrangements for someone else to take me home ( a 2 hour drive). When I did get a hold of him, I couldn’t understand why he was so upset, because he usually wasn’t like that. Then I figured it out. I wasn’t too surprised a couple days later when he proposed.
I’ve enjoyed quite a few surprises parties . Some for me (one of which I almost ruined because I had to work late) and I’ve thrown lot’s of surprise parties. In fact we had one last night. We threw a surprise party for our bishop (like a pastor). His birthday was on Friday, but there were lots of Halloween events going on. So we invited their family over for dinner and Family Home Evening (family time on monday night that we sometimes invite other families to). After dinner other people just randomly (or not so randomly) started showing up at our house and joining in the fun until we had lots of treats and people in the house. People brought cards and treats. The bishop said “I knew you guys were social and I started thinking…wow do people just randomly start showing up at your house every monday night.” We made him pop some balloons with some get to know you questions. We got to guess what the answers would be and a treat if we guessed right. We sang happy birthday and enjoyed lots of treats. We had a good time and he was surprised. So Surprise someone today with a friendly note. Stopping by their work to say hello or bringing lunch. Or make them a special treat just for fun.

Live Life and Love it.
Life is wonderful. Life is a joy. There are so many things in life to enjoy. We are beings with infinite capacity. Sometimes I have a hard time containing myself.
There are people to get to know, people I wish I had more time to spend with, people I wish I understood better and I know it will take time.
Places I want to see, learn the culture, get to know the people, behold the beauty, understand the history. Although I’ve found there is beauty, happiness, and good people everywhere.
Books that help me understand people. Books that help me understand history. Books that uplift me. Books that make me think.
Music that uplifts me. Music that invigorates me. Music that pumps me up. Music yet to be made. Songs yet to be sung. Learning how to sing and learning how to play the music. Music that brings back memories. Music that will make new memories. Music that makes me happy and music that makes me reflect.
Make a movie, watch a movie, think about what that movie meant or read the book that went with the movie, wonder why they made the movie the way they did. Move you to action movies.
Watch the news, read the news, be the news.
Make a puzzle, figure out a puzzle, don’t make a problem, solve a problem.
Exercise with friends. Exercise to make you happy. Exercise to win. Try to be an Olympic athlete. Try to eat like an Olympic athlete.
Eat good food, try new food, try to make new good food.
Be a better wife. Be a money guru. Learn how to use the stock market.
Look at art, learn about art, live in the artistic beauty of our natural world. Be the art. Sit and think while you’re in the art.
Learn about plants, learn about animals, write about plants, write about animals.
Be smart, be scientific, be amazing.
Life is amazing.

The contest ends in a few minutes. I am not in the top 20 but I am very proud and happy of the number of votes I received! I went from 177 tonight to 400 votes! (Help from the famous Khloe Kardashian on Twitter! She retweeted me twice tonight!)

I started this contest late and it was worth trying to win! As I mentioned my passion is writing. I write articles that rank high in search engines, blogs that rank high, short stories, etc., for clients and myself.

You could lock me in a shed with my laptop with orders to write and I will be happy for the rest of my life.

I always see things with a positive light and I always listen to both sides of the story. I can usually see how each person is feeling and turn it around to be positive so they will see where the other person is coming from.

I work with beautiful autistic children and they make my life brighter as well. So does my loving family, friends in real life and the virtual life.

Thank you for this phenomenal opportunity!

You have gained a new reader out of this contest!
