Please stop by my Associated Content profile to see my articles. I’m up to 25, and am in the process of writing more. I love to write and I tend to focus on disability issues because that is my passion.

Here is my profile.

The Devastating Earthquake in Haiti, and How I’m Helping

Monday, January 18th, 2010

As many of you know, there was a massive 7.0 earthquake in Haiti last Tuesday. The devastation that this has wrought is unimaginable! Some sources say that at least 200,000 are dead.

Wile I have no family in Haiti, I have friends who do. While watching heart-wrenching footage of the catastrophe, I begin to wonder what I could do to help. I can’t afford to send any money, but I have found a way to help.

As some of you know, I’m a Contributor at Associated Content. Some of you may have even read some of my articles. I’m up to 25 of them now. Anyway, AC has teamed up with International Rescue Committee (IRC), and will donate $5 to IRC for every article that its Contributors write about Haiti and the aftermath of this terrible earthquake. Of course, I jumped at the offer, and wrote this article:

Since today is Martin Luther King Day, I thought I’d link to my article at Associated Content that I wrote just for this day.

Things to Do on Martin Luther King Day

Just in case you have no idea of what you want to do today. I hope you like it!

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Happy Martin Luther King Day to all of my Gentle Readers! Today is the federal holiday commemorating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ( January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968).

I plan to watch all of the MLK specials and reflect on the life of Dr. King. I’m also going to respond to this Action Alert:

Make Freedom a Reality for ALL Americans Tell the Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights that they need to enforce the Olmstead Decision! Click here for the link.

Governor Paterson to Give State of the State Address Today

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Today Governor Paterson will give his State of the State address at 1:00 pm. From all that’s been said, the state of this state is terrible, indeed. We’re about to run clean out of money, if we haven’t done so already. I smell more budget cuts in the air, and predict an awful time for people with disabilities, in particular. Heck, the only ones coming out of this unscathed will be wealthy folks. Oh well…

I’m going to listen in on the Address and try to give my perspective. The webcast will be here.

Happy New Year!

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Happy New Year everyone! May you all have a wonderful, prosperous, joyful, and blessed 2010!

It’s snowing here in Rochester today. I’m resting in bed mostly because I’ve still got that sick thing going on. Sometimes I feel better, while other times, my body is clearly trying to stave off something. I still get out of breath if I talk too long or move around too much.

My main goal for 2010 is to keep writing and get better at it. I’m writing at Associated Content, but hope that I can branch out to some other sites, too. I really want to make some money off of my writing!

I’ve written a few more articles, so go check them out.
