I will post (soon) some of our ideas. I warn you, though, we are very creative. We may be looking for another partner. I'll keep you posted. <BR/><BR/>By the way I managed to get a post published before Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554795764385592179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-86794172184972980982008-06-18T06:40:00.000+01:002008-06-18T06:40:00.000+01:00It's all part of the process which will leave you ...It's all part of the process which will leave you enlightened and enriched and more understanding of what many others go through daily.

Taking the plunge to step away and then studying God's word, looking for my purpose and realizing that money is not everything have helped me to enjoy this year and to look at life differently.
