| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 03/28/07 at 04:26 PM Ah great advice, and the first line is wonderful, pointing to the particular as well as highlighting the fact that this is it, the "event" front and center "your life". Do it wholeheartedly, as this is your chance. Right to the end. the "be bold, be read" can mean suggests both psychological reading, a wonderful way of saying it--make yourself understood--, and... Psychologically this is a good thing...as sometimes we think we are saying something (in relationship) and expect it to "be read" when really it's subtle enough to be only in our own minds. Given to poets... it can also mean... get your work out, (a subtler implication) mmm maybe a bold font? |

| Posted by Laura Doom on 03/30/07 at 11:24 PM Yes, courage is a wonderful thing, so I understand...a positive stroke that gleams as it smears - I'll leave my appreciation and go before I send your font dripping down the page :) |
| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 03/31/07 at 04:48 PM "In the event of your life consider the billboard approach no sidebar note paper clipped to the bottom of the last page ..." ... so true, Kristina. We should all live life big and bold. |
