Inspirational Heroes Assemble!





The Inspirational Heroes Blogathon has arrived.  Over the New Year's weekend Hamlette and I will be calling attention to the many heroes that inspire us and our fellow bloggers.  Check back periodically to this page or Hamlette's page to see all the fascinating characters that give us inspiration.  If you are participating you can let either one of us know when your post is ready and we will add it to the roster.  Thanks to all who are participating, and especially thanks to all of you are taking the time to read about all these great heroes.  Enjoy!

  6. I am here to apologize. Somehow I wrote the date for this event wrong on my calendar and therefore missed it. I despise missing deadlines and not following through with promises. Please accept my apologies for not submitting the promised post and missing your terrific event.

I'm pretty liberal about freedom of speech, but if you try to use this blog to sell something it will be deleted.
