The future is here. Are you onboard?

I came across this blog through a repost from another author. Yeah, if you are a consistant follower and reader here, you've met her. I feel it is worth reading for anyone looking to use the internet for business purposes and am sharing it here. Blogs and facebook are the future of advertising. Amazon knows it, Barnes and Noble knows it and I dare say Fortune 500 does too. No, I am not quoting them, so don't quote me. Just visit the link I've provided.

Valentines Day

 
With Valentines Day just around the corner you can't help but get bombarded with hearts full of chocolates and cute furry snugglies if you step into a store these days. Even the grocer has his share of suggested items to show that special someone that you love them. I caught a glimpse of a lady buying not a dozen but three dozen or more small red hearts full of chocolates and wondered if she bought for every one of her grandchildren (lucky woman) or a classroom of wonderful children (which of course would include at least one less favorite child --the trouble making cutie!) Whatever her list or whomever the receivers she got me thinking. Wondering really, How do I intend to show those I love, my affection for them? How do you?

-- Visual Arts --

One of the sweetest gifts an author possesses is to take the mundane of daily life and craft it into an entire scene, binding the reader to the experience through different eyes allowing him/her to live it vicariously. To do so takes practice and patience and a really good eraser!

Oh My!

Oh my, it's been a long, long time since I posted anything here. Really, I do this now because I recently got a note, if you can call it...
