As someone who speaks at conferences on writing, conducts workshops, and attends many professional development sessions to keep learning, my head is filled with what I should do. Once I gain all the insight and in some cases, even make lists of what is needed, I still have to contend with my biggest two problems, time and money. I usually already know many of the suggestions and still don’t act. After presenting at American Society of Journalists and Authors and attending many of the sessions, I walked away determined, that, this time, I was going to act. I did make a list of the website decisions I needed. That was six months ago and I’ve just started. Why tell you all of this? Because no one knows more excuses to remain with my website the way it is, rather than get another one, and have one more thing to keep up.

Gilbert pie contest a slice of state centennial fun

http://www.azcentral.com/community/gilbert/articles/20110819gilbert-pie-competition-arizona-centennial-fun.html Unfortunately, enough funding was not raised to hold this wonderful event.   AZ Central Gilbert will showcase a slice of Arizona history early next year.
