(FYI- Part One "Got my mojo workin'" of this post can be found at the Sol site).

I realized that I've been blogging primarily my success stories. Don't fear - I've had my fair share of failures, too. They're just brief, and don't warrant much conversation. But here SOME of them are, in all their glory.

1) The time I took advice from my readers and tried to find people in places that hold common interest.

I also had 2 out-of-town visitors last week… Continue
