Interesting Mark Twain Facts
By Brent Colley
My interest in Mark Twain was kindled by the 2002 Ken Burns documentary, “Mark Twain“.
It was the volume of requests for information about his time in Redding, following the documentary’s release that initiated my interest in his life. People were shocked to find out he lived and died in Redding, Connecticut and wanted to know more. In answering questions about the twilight years of Twain‘s life, I discovered not only that his time in Redding was a significant period in his life, but, that he *lived* an amazing life, period!

Are You Doing What You Love Each and Every Day? by: Stacey Mayo, “The Dream Queen”
It is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day stress of everyday life: deadlines to meet, schedules to keep, unexpected expenses, conflicts to resolve, illness of loved ones, to name a few. Amidst all this, it is easy to for me to lose sight of why I do what I do – my purpose for being. I discovered my passion and my purpose over seven years ago.

August 20, 2011
