Judging on the response, I think I'll keep the title of the Blog for now. This blog isn't about selling stuff or acquiring new clients or traffic. Obviously, some people might find this site and not like the banner because of whatever personal issues they have to deal with, but I think if I'm going to be myself on this site, I'm going to keep my sense of humor, and my edginess.
More Power To Ya!

Fred, in a way we do shower with you ... in being cleansed by the practice of all the teachings you offer us. I had not picked up on your sense of humor until checking out this site, and I'm glad to know you've got one!

I like the Title, and the sub-titles. It reminds me of the French humour that I so enjoyed when I lived in Quebec.
The title, “Shower with Fred” seems to extend a warm invitation to get to know you, and the site delivers what I expected, but with even more warmth than I had anticipated. It helps one who has never met you to feel as though they have.
Of course I don't think of the title literally. (In real life I would never hop into a shower with a man I don't know). But in the context that the invitation is extended it conveys a whole spectrum of warmth and welcome:
For many of us, the shower is a place where we gather our thoughts before starting our day. It may be the place where we make life decisions, or at least decisions for that day. The shower is also a place of peace, relaxation and rejuvenation. We always feel cleaner, refreshed and more invigorated after having a shower. Therefore, your title "Shower with Fred" feels like an invitation to share with you in some of those wonderful benefits that come with the simple pleasure of having a shower. And you invite us to share with you as you try to make life decisions. I think it is a great title.

You are looking too far.
Have you ever been out west?
I live in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. It is warmer and warmer here, and there are many very cool people and a strongly budding raw movement. I have also lived on many of the islands here, as well as having grown up in Vancouver and lived 3 years in Montreal. This is a very good place to be! It is clean and gorgeous nature wise, and you can still find french speaking community, and global warming has definitely been changing the climate here to a warmer drier one (this is sad and unfortunate but we do enjoy the increased sun and dry season).
You could move here and do your work, have access to a very large center as well as some nice smaller cities, and enjoy gorgeous wilderness just hours away, and live in small community if you wished, AND eat great local organically grown foods (the soil is very good in the valley where I live!)
Perhaps you could stay in Canada and find your island paradise after all?
Bonne chance mon ami, et j'ai confiance que tu vas realiser tes reves.
All the best, Navaro
