Thank you so much, Lola!
You are truly an inspiration! Keep up the great work!
Felicia, This Time Now
@Julie & Hal
Thanks guys! Sometimes I feel weird posting these updates because I don’t want to come off as conceited, but this blog serves as my online resume after all so it’s important I share published and upcoming work.
Lola, you’re an inspiration!
Lola-
I always enjoy these round-ups. Even when I work with someone closely, I know there’s so much more going on in their lives and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with it all. I really love your updates about your published word. I clicked through to read the Hemispheres article and really enjoyed it! The piece about where to draw the line with social media was also important and well-written. I look forward to checking out some of the photo sets as well. And thanks for mentioning my piece in DISCOVER!
