I love the easy reading of your articles and the fact that it is uplifting and not so depressing like the regular newspapers. It is funny how one simple, little brown, one-page publication with a little tiny guy always hiding from me can motivate my day and let me forget about the daily routine and struggles. ~Dr. Lynn Sayne
