Good evening dear readers,

My computer connection is finally back up and running! It took some driving and shopping but finally we figured out the problem and were able to fix it.

I still need to work on my short story for the anthology contest for Accentuate Services since it is due in tomorrow! I will be working on it shortly, I promise!

Exciting things have been happening this week even with the computer troubles that have abounded. First, Examiner.com has been great to work with and I’m learning more every day about the great things celebrities are doing for charities all over the world. Because of Examiner, I was offered the opportunity to work with another team of writers at looktothestars.org so keep an eye out on their website to see when I get listed as a contributor.

Annie Duke hosted “Sucking Out on the Rivers” charity poker tournament on Wednesday in Vegas and raised $20,000 for Refugee’s International, which is an amazing charity that helps displaced peoples around the world. Many kudo’s go out to everyone involved in raising money for a worthy charity.

I hope you all have a wonderful night!
Eternally,

Hello dear readers,

There is some trouble in computer land for me. My laptop does not want to keep me connected to the internet. I thought I had it fixed but once I went home, it didn’t work. So I’m on my old man’s old box of a computer typing this post out to you quickly. Hopefully, tomorrow will be much better in computer land. Wish me well please!

Congrats to all the winners of the writersweekly.com 24 hour short story contest!
Many wonderful writers made the top of the list and some dear friends from the Accentuate Writers Forum recieved some very cool door prizes!

Hoping tomorrow is a better day.
Eternally,

Good morning dear readers,

The sun is not shining today and the clouds seem to have taken over the skyline. It is good to have a break in the sunshine since it gives us a chance to appreciate it more when it comes out again.

Lots of things are going on currently in my world. The office where I work is moving its location so we are in the process of packing, storing and causing general chaos. My son went on a field trip today to the Crayola Factory and I wish I could have gone.

I am currently working on a story for the contest at Accentuate Services, I am kicking myself to get it finished before the deadline.
I am waiting on the results from writersweekly.com for the contest I entered there.

Recently, I’ve been having a lot of fun writing about celebrities and charity for Examiner.com. A new piece was published last night about Twitter + Celebrity= Large charitable contributions, check it out to see if your favorite celebrities are twittering for charity.

Hope you have a wonderful day.
Eternally,

Good evening dear readers,

I hope your night is going as well as mine seems to be. I was welcomed by my Channel Manager, Justin, at Examiner.com in an email that was wonderful and encouraging. I hope I can live up to the expectations as the Celebrity Charity Examiner. With the impeccable communication it should be a breeze.

Since I am the Celebrity Charity Examiner for Examiner.com I have decided to do Celebrity charity profiles, events and much more. The first in the series of profiles is one on Ellen Degeneres. I am a big fan of her humor, wit and love for people, animals and peace so it was only fitting that my first profile be on this wonderful person with such a large charitable heart.
You can read about it here:
Celebrity charity profile: Ellen Degeneres

Upcoming celebrity charity profiles will include Ashton Kutcher, Donald Trump, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and many others.

A great charity event that is going on right now is one that is being hosted by one of the local radio stations in my area. 97.9x Rocks has autographed rock star items listed in an auction that will benefit the Easter, PA chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. You can read more about the auction here:
97.9x Rocks Auction for Charity

I hope you all have a great evening!

Good afternoon everyone! The sun is shining here at the beginning of this Memorial Day weekend and I am trying to enjoy it before the rains come.

As many of you know, Associated Content is one of my clients. I get paid per article with them and also a bonus for page views. My averages are steadily climbing but I have yet to hit the goal I set for myself for the month of May. The goal is to hit 100,000 page views yet I am 104 page views shy.

If you care to give me a little help please check out one or more of the articles found on my source page:

Thanks!

Good morning to everyone. I hope your day has started out on a fabulous note with the sun shining and the world looking peaceful. If it is raining in your neck of the woods, I still hope your day is fabulous and you might want to consider dancing in the rain!

Yesterday started off wonderfully with the launch of this website and I have to say that you, my friends, are wonderful for the support and encouragement you sent my way.

Examiner.com contacted me yesterday while the this website was being launched. I am now the Celebrity Charity Examiner and will be providing you with information about events, profiles and interesting information about celebrities and the charities they support. My first article went live last night and is about Hugh Jackman being a charity hunk. You can view the article HERE.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
Eternally,
Linda

Today life is very exciting for me. This website has been launched without a hitch due to the amazing services of ONTRACKhost and the personal communication of Miss Nina Rotz. A very big THANK YOU goes out to them.

Now onto the other good stuff…
As an avid reader and also a writer, I know how important it is to have an opportunity to communicate with the author. This website is designed to keep you informed of what I am doing, why I am doing it and when things are happening.

Eternally,
Linda
