I’m constantly searching the net, joining lists, groups, entering contests etc. to put food on the table (figuratively, I’ve got an 8-5). In the search, surprise, surprise, guess which group was under represented? You guessed it. Minorities.

Although being a woman seems not to be a minority issue (on the web), being an African-American Christian female has posed a challenge. Not an insurmountable one, mind you, or this Ezine would be a waste of time.

Being the hoarder that I am, every time I came across a relevant website, I would put it into a file.

During a long overdue cleaning binge last Saturday, I came across my file of printouts. Upon noticing the magnitude of material I’d amassed, I realized that I had a product that others would want.

I’d already spent the time sifting through a slew of markets to find those geared towards me, it’s just a step further to organize that material into an ongoing Ezine.

Why would I give away all that hard earned, time-consuming information for free? Simple, because along the way, someone else took the time to stop and show me the way. I’ve learned that wisdom is the correct application and sharing of knowledge.

I've said all that to say, come on in, use what you can, nix what you can't, or share the whole thing.  And when that acceptance letter, email or phone call comes, walk on over to the water cooler to give us a shout out!
