So…should I start with the sad first?

Yes??

Okay.

I am leaving The Write Web. I have been with the site since 2008/2009 and although I have hoped to developed a larger following. This may not have happened for two reasons- maybe three.

I have not marketed the site or myself very well.
I have not stuck by my Read more of this blog post »

Erica’s Quotes

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

178085 likes

“If achieving world peace and ending poverty were really genuine concerns to the majority, then they would have happened already by now. So, either people are not aware of their collective power, or their fears overpower their desires. The amount of money spent on the military-industrial complex in one year is more than enough to end hunger in Africa. Every problem on earth today has more than one solution. However, priorities are determined by values.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“If we have the courage and tenacity of our forebears, who stood firmly like a rock against the lash of slavery, we shall find a way to do for our day what they did for theirs.”
― Mary McLeod Bethune
