Better keep an eye on that husband of yours! I just might try to steal him! LOL Ditto to your son! We need more people like all of you in the world!

I've missed you for ages!

Sharing a brief story about the nevus disfigurement: My hubby, years before I married him, back in the late 1960's, asked the girl at our school who had such a birthmark, to the prom. She was called "wolfgirl" instead of monkey. My guy has always been a defender of the folks who were the object of taunting (it's part of why I love him)! He once jumped out of a second-story window to attack a group of boys who pulled down the pants of a boy who was mentally "slow" to embarrass him, earning the nickname "Superman" at our middle school. I'm proud to say my youngest son is always the first to befriend anyone "different" that he meets, in school or in the business world. I guess it's a family trait - I was the only one in our housing project growing up who would take time to try to understand the severely brain-damaged kid who had cerebral palsy. I cannot believe we are this "sophisticated" these days and STILL don't do a good job of teaching our children acceptance of differences. You go, girl! Wish you'd e-mail me some time!

Love,
Bonnie

Thank you so very much!!

I was so disappointed to see that those members rated Nh ... in essence killing the message as they shoot the messenger. Wow.. Things sure have changed on this site. I guess I've been away for too long.

I have learned to rise above the negativity, however, and to embrace what is good and positive.

I look forward to reading your review!

(hugs))

Hi, Susan!
Thank you!!

I am so happy to be back, as time permits.

One of my books is doing very well and I am delighted. Candalyse Publishing is an independent publishing company which I founded in 2007. I publish many of my books, as well as the books of many others, who have an inspirational story to tell.

I will email you, for sure!
Candace is doing well.
She just celebrated her 9th birthday yesterday!!

You can email me at candacemama@gmail.com
Looking forward in talking with you sometime.

A Game Plan In Place! (Reply to this comment)
by AinsleyJo
I've just ordered your book--so Step One is accomplished.

Step Two--Read it! I guess I could be wrong, but I have a feeling it will be a real winner and will be given high marks by me when I go to Step Three...

Step Three--Review it!

Step Four--Send my review to my friends and encourage them to buy the book!

Step Five--Blog about it and encourage the same response!

You go, girlfriend! Great to have you back! I've been out-of-the-loop here, myself, although I've done a few writings here lately!

Hugs!
AJ :-)

Susan :)

Write about (and please email me at its_me_susan2003@ yahoo.com (no space)... on How did you find a publisher? Would love for you to write about how you went about getting published!

It is SO good to see you "Believe! Achieve! Succeed!" I could not wish all that to a finer person. I applaud your attitude and your goals toward awareness and the health of Candace.

I do hope to see you around once in a while. I know I have missed you and so have many others.

Whatever your dreams, you now have the formula.

May God Bless you and yours always,

Phil

Dear Mimi,

How wonderful that you have published your creative vision! Hopefully, it will make a big different for Candace. Of course, the biggest difference you make for her is the unconditional love you shower her with, every day!

Love,
