We all know how good it feels when we achieve that longed for goal. That sweet shot of satisfaction that shoots from the center of our chest straight to the tip of our toes! I had it yesterday when I found out an essay I had submitted was accepted at a local magazine! It's to be published in the spring, but no matter. I'm totally thrilled right now! The first thing I did was share it with my writing buddies, the Thunder Rock Writers Group.

Now, I want to give a shout out to my friend, Julieanne Hale. She gave me the encouragement to send it in. Thanks, Julieanne. Success is even sweeter shared with a friend. You're a keeper.
