When I first joined the yahoo loops Celia's advice on marketing was top-notch. It helped me look at my own work in a different light.

I'll keep worrying at something until it suits me.I love hearing about your dreams to be a big city gal for a year and explore the metropolitan world. And your heart is so large for that Presbyterian charity.<br />I so admire that you started college and finished at a later age. That alone tells everyone a LOT about you. Celia Yeary finds a way to get things done.

I don't know how to tell you how much I appreciate your comments about my writing.
