Name of Publication: I have two of them... first one is Dragonfly Newsletters... and second one , most defiantly my favorite is Embracing Love.
Theme of Publication: Dragonfly Newsletter is really I think for friendship & Family... 3 different issues, once a week, first is Dragonfly Recipes... full of recipes I have saved for years... second is Dragonfly Sharing Issue, this has the Card club in it, requests, filled requests, and I feature my blurbs of other newsletters in there...and last but not least is Dragonfly Potpourri...this is where I get a little personal... poems, links and a personal thought called A Moment with Dragonfly... this section is a favorite among my readers... I seem to touch upon thoughts on day to day things that someone has always wanted to know about but never felt they could ask.
My second newsletter is called Embracing Love... this is my soul, my hear, and my everything goes into this newsletter.... It is a weekly newsletter, erotic in nature, graphics,links, poems, and again a Moment with Embracing Love....this newsletter is all about Love... the ups and downs, the thrills, the downsides and so on.....
Why did you start Publishing: I started publishing because I absolutely loved what Ladyisreal was doing, she was the very first newsletter I have ever gotten in my mail box... I really got online to get more information on my mothers illness, and to frankly loose myself in the world that could make me forget about the pain of my Mom whom was at the time very ill.... Linda has a way about her that just sparked me...and that is why I started....
Do you have co-editors:
How many and who:No I do not... I used to have two, lol but I pushed them to do there own because I knew they could and that is why I pushed them to help me first, then onto their owns.....
What are their functions: Lol functions now are doing their own....
How long have you been on line: almost 3 years......
How long have you been publishing: little over 2 years.......
What are you most accomplished at: Making my dedication web page in memory of my dear Mom.... this is why I had gotten online, so when she became a angel I made a web page, full of info on the illness COPD that she had, and my personal thoughts on dealing with loosing a parent so young...........I have had great contacts because of my web page and I feel that I have made a difference in their lives because of it.... I have made my goal online.........everything else is extra and I am truly blessed for that.....
What is your greatest accomplishment: the above statement holds true to this.......
What is the most important thing in your life: The most important thing in my life is my family.... my husband, children, friends, and well being......
What are your 'special interests': well I dont know if there is room, but I will shorten it lol, ok ummm children, (certified day care Mom by day), teach ceramics by night, love to sew, cooking I love to do when I am in the mood to do so, lol, but most of all my special interest that i love to do is enjoy life, smell that flower, even if i have smelled it 12 times yesterday.....see if the leaves have changed on my trees outside from yesterday....just really enjoy what life has offered me......never to take it for granted
What single word would best describe how you want to be perceived by others: truthfull
What one piece of advise would you give a new editor: Be yourself... do not mold your newsletter to fit the readers, because you will never ever please everyone... and I feel I would rather have 200 readers that omg love what i do, then 5000 that I have pacified along the way to do the newsletter to fit there needs..my readers have grown with me... I can not spell at all lol and you know how well this spell ck works... and they all have watched me get so much better lol...... there are many of us out here and we all are different so if my newsletter is not for them then I can send them to 50 others that might be just what they want and love..........
In 50 words or less, what would you like to tell us about yourself: well I must say I think I have said like umm 300 words.... lol... really my friends, I am as some know a great lover of life.... I embrace love like no other I know.... I am a breed that some have had or want to become... it is very hard to maintain this good attitude I have on life, loves, children, home, 2 businesses and so on , when life just doesn't seem fair.... my friends, there is a reason for everything....................learn as you go.........stop and smell them flowers again and again................
