Overdue Hello

Postby WriterGirl1969 » Sat Jul 28, 2018 8:36 am

Just wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone, and to let you know I'm still here, still thinking of and praying for everyone. I think of you all very often.

Those of you who know me also know I am an author. I have a new book being published soon, and decided to dedicate it to the people in my life who are no longer still with me - my stepfather Hector, and Beansmama. I haven't told anyone else I'm doing this, but thought that all of you here would understand, so I'm sharing it with all of you.

And for those of you who don't know me, I'm a fellow warrior, sister-in-arms and also believe that hope is one of the most important things we can share. Many, many others shared that with me when I first joined this site, and I'm determined to pay it forward.

Smiles, hugs and prayers to you all from me.
