It hit home on so many levels. You summed up every emotion I have felt since April 30, 2003 (Note - last day of the month and a payday). I've been laid off, re-hired, shifted to the right, left... you name it. This was just the inspiration I needed to get up and get a move on my "dream". Thank you so much. BTW... I'm currently still to the left at the same company. Bridge-burning was NOT an option. Best regards, Angela Williams St. Louis, MO Dawn,

I have "personal" experience in planning events; two weddings (Rainbow Room, NYC and the NY Public Library). Although, divorced now, I did work on corporate fundraising events, where my husband was employed. I was informed that you offer part-time employment. I would like to know what might be available for someone like me. Your reply would be appreciated. Thank you, Eileen M.

While I will not be sending you any money, I will send you my appreciation for lightening the mood. I recently had a yard sale and, in a marketing effort to set myself apart from all of the other yard sales while also lightening the mood of a way to serious atmosphere these days, I gave a 10% discount to anybody who told me a joke. People actually drove up and said, "Is this the joke yard sale?" All I can say to those who didn't appreciate your humor is, "Lighten up." Thanks for all you do, Dawn,

Oh that's just great! Now I have to fall back on PLAN #2 - I got a guy in Manhattan who wants to trade 1 million in gold jewelry for only $10,000. Not a bad deal, huh! Bernie something I think was the name. So you’re telling me I DON’T have a chance of winning $700K. Oh that’s just great!
