I was just reading one of the blogs my friend Becky writes – and she has one post called “30 Random Things About Me.” Becky lives in New York and we “met” virtually several years back through a crafting site.

Read More...In the process of writing articles for private clients this past week, I have added several sites to my bookmarks! Researching for writing projects always proves to be an educational experience, as I’ve discovered along the way.
