Well, my week has been so busy, this is the first time I have had a chance to sit down and type! Last weekend, my fellow classmates and I reunited for our 10-year high school reunion. It was so great to see everyone again. I graduated with a class of 28, so we were a pretty close-knit group. Thanks to everyone on the committee who helped plan the event!

As I was helping plan my reunion, I had the opportunity to look back through some of my old writings, including some essays I submitted for contests in high school. I was amazed at the ways my style has changed and at the ways it has stayed the same. In fact, I gleaned some new ideas from stories and poems I had written in my formative years.

What about you? Do you ever take the time to look back over what you have written in the past? How is it different from what you are writing today? Send me some of your work, and I will be happy to give you my unbiased opinion! Perhaps you can build on past work to get your writing juices flowing again!

While we’re talking about looking back, 2007 is halfway over already! How is your business doing? This is a good time of year to look at what you have accomplished since January and to re-evaluate your strategies for the rest of the year. July is a great time to offer a Christmas in July sale! Now is also a great time to be gathering ideas for Christmas. It’ll be here before you know it! Send me your ideas if you want some feedback.

To the Hampton Park Class of 1997 – Happy 10 Years!

To your success,
Katie
