Thanks Dianne,

I'll do that. Wow, a writer too...I'm keeping good company...how many writers are there in here? My late husband was on the board of the National Writer's Union. He tried to get me to join. That's how I met him.

Chuckle...I'm a writer, too. I was President of the local National Writer's Union chapter for a bit.

I've written a tech book, two books on local wine regions (www.mountainvinespub.com) and many articles. I am struggling with writing my coaching book, but because I am trying to get a better handle on my practice, it's going to have to wait a bit.

Yes, getting outside and laughing and giggling and being silly is Wonderful! My husband and I have stuffed bears that we "play" with and make imitation voices! Sometimes we laugh and laugh at night sooo loud!

Off to the outside!

You women offer such warm, loving, and uplifting advice! I'm so proud to be among you. Number5, I think you should call yourself Winning Woman or WomanRoaring or something along those lines.
Have fun with it!

Pursue YOUR Possibilities.

JawJaw, I like those suggestions. I'm sure my girls could come up with a few too....When they were all at home I had a plaque on the wall that read, "So it ain't home sweet home...adjust". And they did.

My late husband's name was John Boyd. Anyone know or have heard of him?

Is he the same Boyd that is known for his military accomplishments? A fighter-pilot? And did the speech "To be or to do?" It's very famous. If one has ever worked in or with the military gov't, you'd be hard pressed not to have heard of him. He was a genius.

No, John was on the board of the National Writer's Union and travelled about twice a year to the meetings. He was in Boston once and in NY, in NM once. He had a T-shirt that read Good Writing Must Be Organized. He was a great believer in unions.

He also had his own newspaper in Omaha, NE for a while.

Wow! His own paper? Wouldn't that be a dream come true? He was so right about being organized, and I'm not talking about unions, but about myself. It's something I strive for ALL the time.

I never met John, but that feeling of having unions is/was very strong in my area. I was involved when Jonathan Tasini was president of the union. He fought the New York Times to get writer's paid when corporations re-used their work in electronic databases. He won, but it was a puric victory -- now all contracts are written so that you are signing away all your rights to any conceivable medium, whether its invented or not.

People do expect writers to write for free when they would never expect a plumber to do so. It's pretty wierd.
