My Bulletin Board

Welcome to my new bulletin board.  

I’m going to post whatever strikes my fancy here. I didn’t want to clutter up the front page with this stuff, but I’ve been frustrated when I need to pin something up for you to see.  If I post it on Facebook or re-Tweet it, it is gone from that feed in a matter of hours. This will be here for you as long as I leave it here! Wink

coffee cup Have you heard of the Survivor’s Club yet? “TheSurvivorsClub is the place where people in crisis can come to find resources that have helped other people survive and thrive in the face of health, money, family and extreme crises.” Lot’s of amazing stories and comments on Survivor’s club.org. My son wanted us to take their quiz. My result was Steve Jobs -that’s encouraging! He’s a “thinker” survivor. I was surprised, but it probably makes sense. Their free quiz below.
