It really can be a challenge to show, not tell, but can be accomplished in small ways. I think a lot of us have to watch this :)<br /><br />Lorrie, your kind words really made my day. Thank you. And as far as blogging, you may find as I have, the terrific support that comes from other writers, and you'll grow and be inspired, in ways you didn't know possible.Carolyn Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14848484073538930315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655925037104310209.post-40290568494753668342011-04-19T14:47:32.954-04:002011-04-19T14:47:32.954-04:00Carolyn-I just put your blog in my RSS feed.
