Heartfelt Thanks

For the past few weeks, I have been following my passion by submitting more articles to Associated Content. I’ve had several more published! (See link below.) It has been quite an experience. I will definitely not get rich by writing for them, but each time I get an email saying they are making me an offer, I can’t help feeling thrilled and excited.

I’ve told so many of my friends and family members about my latest endeavor via phone and email. I even joined Facebook as a way to promote my writing. I’m thrilled by how supportive people are of my efforts. I have received many positive comments about my articles. It makes me feel very lucky and very grateful to have such wonderful people in my life.

Happy Birthday USA!

It's the 4th of July and time to celebrate! The USA is 233 years old today.

Our country has been through a lot over the years. Things have been more than a little rough for the past couple of years, but we're a strong, hopeful and resilient nation filled with amazing people. We have to believe that things will improve and the country will bounce back stronger than ever.

Be sure to fly your flag today and take some time to think about the fact that we live in such a great country. Be thankful today, be careful today, and enjoy today!
