Hi everyone: I apologize to all of those who wrote to me these last few days and said such nice things about some of the subjects I wrote about. I just haven't had the time to get back to all of you, but I will. I promise. I wasn't on the internet all day today.............getting the pain in the neck car FINALLY fixed today. Yes John Vaught, I did get someone to do it and for a VERY resonable price. Thanks for your advice. Then I was in Pennsylvania all day today. I found I was humming songs to myself everywhere I went listening to the Christmas music already in the stores. It put me in a cheerful mood remembering some of the things some of you wonderful people wrote to me. There truly are some nice people out there. You make me forget about the bad ones. I hear your stories and I'm encouraged to continue writing even more. I know my calling in life. I feel inspired and have been touched by a heart filled with joy. I plan to keep a cheerful spirit in spite of those who choose to be ugly. Life is good even when things are not going my way. There's something good waiting for me around the corner. I just know it. Perhaps I will finish writing that book, and I'm serious when I said I started a screen play for Sylvester Stallone. Just got to get an audience with him. Anyone on the List know him? If he accepts my writing, I'll see that you get a small part in the movie, okay?!?! LOL! When I was marketing and promoting my magazine all those years ago, I was very ambitious and believed in what I was doing. When I believe in something, I do whatever it is that has to be done to get it done. After many phone calls and talking to many different executives about my idea, I hired a advertising executive. She was told by a third party, "You stick with that woman". "She's going to get you on television." Sure enough, we ended up on two local tv shows and radio. It's all about believing, and I believe something good is coming my way. Am I feeling good today? Yes I am. Think it had anything to do with the fact that I only paid $187.22 for my car work compared to the $400 - $700 that I was quoted somewhere else?!?! Best wishes to all, and may you too feel inspired and follow your heart. I wish you all love and harmony in your life. Barbara Galasso p.s.
