"But Skip, there's still not enough to write about!" by Skip Cohen
I realize there are plenty of people who believe the days of blogging are long gone, and to a point they're right. But I still believe the most important issue is being relevant to your readership, however you're reaching them, and blogging does help contribute to SEO. So, I'm sharing content topics - they don't have to be used as formal blogs, but could easily morph into posts, reels or sound bites on Facebook for example. My point is trying to give you ideas to keep strengthening your brand as an imaging artist in your community. When somebody tells me there's nothing to write about where they live, they just haven't looked hard enough. There's ALWAYS something going on worth talking about! Here's the last round of content ideas. It's not meant to be all inclusive. Put together with my building blocks from the previous two posts, you've got plenty of content for social media...regardless of how it's delivered.
There are twenty+ content ideas for you to share. Your goal is consistency in sharing great information and building brand awareness as the photography expert in the community. Remember, these give you content to share during those quiet weeks. You still have images to share with things like "365 Projects," client shoots and challenges, and events happening more in real time throughout the week.

​The fun of Throwback Thursday is in the memories that old photographs and videos bring back. I was a year and a half into my new career at the time of this short interview. I left WPPI in April of 2009 to start my own company. At the time I was writing for Resource Magazine, Scott Bourne and I had a podcast, our book Going Pro had been published, and we were about to launch our second Skip's Summer School. The links on the video are no longer active. Marketing Essentials (MEI500.com), while it's still the legal business entity for everything I do, SkipCohenUniversity.com became the website destination. PMA, mentioned in the video, went through some serious management changes and eventually closed. And Skip's Summer School continued for four more years, finishing in Chicago. Even PPE changed and became Create NYC, which is not being staged currently, but instead, WPPI, owned by the same parent company, has ramped up and is in Las Vegas, March 3-7 this year. While a lot of things have changed over the last 13+ years, so much has stayed the same. Diversity in your skill set is still a key to success. There's still a feeding frenzy over education and new technology. Attending every convention/conference you can is still vital to your growth. And while my hair got a lot grayer - my love for the industry has never slowed down. The video interview is only four minutes long, but some of the fun comes with the cuts RETV put in showing speakers and exhibitors. If you were at PPE in 2010, you'll spot some familiar faces, maybe even your own.
​PhotoPlus Expo was the largest photography-based convention in the US back then. And while many conventions have gotten smaller over the years, the benefits of attending don't change. WithIUSA kicking off this weekend, WPPI in early March, ClickCon in late July, and so many state and regional conferences, artists have so many opportunities to grow their skills...and network. A great conference is about networking, education, and recharging your battery.
You should be attending every conference you possibly can throughout the year. And when it comes to classes/programs to attend, remember - Growth only happens outside your comfort zone! Happy Throwback Thursday! "But Skip, there's nothing to write about!" by Skip Cohen
I started with your website, and blog basics earlier in the week. Now it's time to move to content ideas. Most of you are sitting on a goldmine of topics, not just for your blog, but other places you're sharing in social media. Sadly, you're often too close to your own business to recognize how much value there is in so many different aspects of your knowledge about imaging. Remember, the key to building readership and followers is all about being helpful. Become the Imaging Expert: As a photographer, you do things you take for granted every day. Let's help Mom, Dad, and the kids become better artists. They're not going open up down the street and compete with you. So, whether they use a conventional camera or a phone, let's help them raise the bar on their images.
There's a very practical advantage to the ideas above - each one allows you to share some of your images as examples of the right and wrong way to capture their memories. You're establishing yourself as the expert in imaging in your community. And to take it a step further, some of you have the skills and ability to hold physical classes and photo walks to help your audience capture better memories. As their skills grow, you become more established as the expert in your community, and you're opening the door for more advanced techniques. At the same time, you're developing top-of-mind awareness of when they need a professional photographer. Coming up tomorrow - another set of ideas for blog topics. There's always something to write about and share! by Skip Cohen It's funny how January rolls around and so many of you put the brakes on, thinking you can just kick back and chill for a few weeks. I'm not questioning business owners needing a break, just the timing if you stop working altogether. It might be the slow season, but "slow" is only about revenue and clients coming through the front door! Right now, things can be as busy as you want them to be when it comes to building a stronger business in the new year. I'm continuing my quest to give you ideas to build a more substantial business and, at the very least, give a few of you a jump start. Next topic up: I want to focus on your blog in the next two building block posts. "Your website is about what you sell. Your blog is about what's in your heart." Here are some great tips on building a blog. While I'd love to take credit for all of them, many of them are thanks to my good buddy Scott Bourne. They apply not only to maintaining a blog but also to any place you're trying to build readership and followers.
And there they are, ten tips to help you build a blog that draws in readers. But a blog alone isn't enough. You need to weave a web around your readers so they're finding you in multiple locations. It's all about building a more recognized brand, starting with being helpful to your followers. Check in tomorrow for thirty content ideas to write about! by Skip Cohen For close to fifteen years on three different blogs, I've been sharing ideas to help you build a stronger business. While technology has never slowed down, there's not a lot left that I haven't written about when it comes to marketing. Yet there are so many of you who act like procrastination is a strategy! Too many of you are flying by the seat of your pants, being reactionary, with no planning or strategy for the new year. You wouldn't get in your car for a trip across the country without a bit of planning, including the route, cities you wanted to visit, accommodations, etc., Yet you're attacking the new year without a roadmap. I'm bringing back an updated building block series because NOW is the time to lay the foundation to make 2024 your best year yet. Let's start with your website:
We're in a "you snooze - you lose" scenario. We might be in the slow season, but it shouldn't be slow for you as a business owner. Valentine's Day, Easter, prom season, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and graduation are all around the corner. This is the first Marketing Monday for this series - coming up we'll hit at least seven more topics to help you build a powerhouse business in the new year...but remember, even with great marketing, you still need an outstanding skill set when a camera is in your hands! by Skip Cohen Sunday Morning Reflections is rarely about business, but there's always a connection to what's going on in my life and maybe yours. I started the series because I wanted to get a little more personal than topics about marketing. As I've written about in the past, Sheila and I each have a different book we read each morning. We've chosen two different authors who have written daily inspirations. We'll finish breakfast together and then take a few minutes to share whatever is down for that day from each of our books. While Sheila's book is more about spirituality, mine is focused on positive thinking by Cyndie Spiegel. I snuck ahead on my reading, and tomorrow's hit me as a thought so many of us, from time to time, miss: Happiness isn't found out on a beach somewhere basking in the hot sun. It isn't found in a cocktail glass or in approval from others. It is not something you need to chase or find. Instead, you can create it right here, where you are now, with the choices you make each day. Choose to take good care of yourself. Do what brings you joy. Live a life you believe in. Spend time in the company of those who uplift you. Be kind. Happiness is the side effect of all of these experiences; it is not a thing you find out there. When I look back over the years, I spent so much time chasing happiness when all the time it was "inside." It was all about the choices I was making. So often, we're too close to our own lives to recognize what we're doing that's blocking the way to happiness. We're focused on the wrong things and putting energy into a journey that might be down the wrong path. And there's my point - just like the airlines telling you to put your oxygen mask on first before helping others, that smile you need in your soul is the same. You've got to find your happiness first - and it's all under your control if you just look hard enough and listen to your heart. Wishing all of you a day ahead that's filled with happiness. It's not about being overjoyed; it's just about being content and comfortable with your decisions and recognizing the people who love you. Go for those eleven-second therapeutic hugs I've been writing about for years, and make it a weekend to look back on with a smile. Happy Sunday...or Monday on the other side of the world. by Skip Cohen
At the last minute yesterday, I decided to head to IUSA next weekend. I keep in touch with dozens of photographers weekly, and I felt free of the need to be in Louisville for the convention. But the closer it got to the show, the more I questioned my decision. So often, I forget to practice what I preach. In this case, I need to recharge my battery when it comes to imaging. With a home office and most interaction online, there is no replacement for being together with other photographers, vendors, and friends. My anticipation is almost overwhelming! Just the decision to be at IUSA has created some great energy. So, if you're like me and had decided not to attend, I was surprised that I could lock in decent flights and the hotel this late. Why IUSA? Well, it's the first big show of the new year for most of you. Next, you need to spend time building your network, and there's no better place than a great convention. With nearly 150 exhibitors, it's an opportunity to check out new products, services, and technology. Plus, PPA's educational platform this year is one of their best yet - it's a chance for you to fine-tune your skill set. Here are just a few reminders if you're heading to the show.
I'd love to catch up with any of you headed to the show - look for me at the Platypod booth 1226, Marathon booth 727 or just out and about on the trade show floor. by Skip Cohen We closed the door on 2023, and most of you would like to kick back for a few weeks and chill. I get it, and that's fine if it fits your goals for the new year. But there's an opportunity coming up that, with a little planning, can be your first step into building stronger revenue for 2024. Valentine's Day is a perfect time for boudoir and family portrait artists to ramp up a little business, and NOW is the time to spread the word. But it's also important to have something going on that gets your target audience excited...
Here's my point - it's great to kick back and chill, but if you've got the skillset, a Valentine's Day promotion is low-hanging fruit. It's perfect to get back in the swing of things and remind your audience what you do for a living...you help people create and capture memories! by Skip Cohen It's Marketing Monday, and for at least the last ten years, I've shared ideas on things you should be doing to build a stronger business. I've covered just about everything, but there's one more idea I want to hit this morning: the diversity of Marathon Press. My history working with Marathon goes back 30+ years. Yes, they sponsor SCU, but they didn't ask me to write about them today. As everyone looks for ideas to make 2024 a record-breaker, Marathon has so many ways to help you achieve your goals. Let's start with their diversity as an industry-supporting vendor, and this is only a part of the support they offer.
Here's my point this Marketing Monday - stop thinking you have to fly solo all the time. Most of you are small business owners and you don't have the staff, the time or the budget to create, build and launch exciting marketing programs - but Marathon has an amazing staff and products/services.
And they're just a click or phone call away...(800) 228.0629 or click on their logo below. by Skip Cohen Throwback Thursday doesn't always have to involve old photographs. I thought it would be fun to tie in old concepts and products from the past. Check out the four products below and tell me what happened to them...
Then, there were expressions and definitions that changed...for example, a troll was just a character in a children's book or an ugly doll. The "mailman" walked your street. You had a paperboy who delivered your paper on his bike. And speaking of bikes, I won a "three-speed English Racer" in a Cleveland Plain Dealer contest that was the greatest bike ever! Now go back to just the last 10-15 years...I found my old Palm Pilot the other day. And I can only laugh over how cool it was. Then came my Blackberry; again, it was slick. I was crushed when I lost my Blackberry while at IUSA in Nashville. I immediately hit the Verizon store in Nashville and paid top dollar for a replacement. Feel free to add your memories from your own walk down "Nostalgia Lane"; if there are enough of you, I'll publish another post with your additions. Happy Throwback Thursday! by Skip Cohen The real fun of social media is about how small it makes the world. Meet UK photographer and good buddy Wes Simpson. We first "met" almost eight years ago when he posted the image to the right on Facebook. I loved it and contacted him for permission to share it in a blog post. That started a friendship based entirely on Facebook and IMs. Since then, Wes has received numerous awards, including Wedding Photographer of the Year in 2022 and 2023 at the English Wedding Awards. Although Wes has shared hundreds of beautiful images, there's still something about this one that makes me smile. It's whimsical, fun and captures the essence of two newlyweds. I'm so appreciative of social media technology and the process of how Wes and I connected. I was sitting in my office on a Friday morning in Sarasota, Florida, and Wes was in the UK getting his gear set up for a wedding. He was over 4000 miles away, in another country, and five or six hours ahead of me. We've never physically met, yet the common denominator, our mutual love for the craft, had us talking like two old friends in a pub! The graffiti wall Wes chose for the photograph is one of Banksy's art pieces. I didn't know who Bansky was until Wes gave me the name. A quick Google search and I had the background on this old car park in Liverpool. Wes gave me the following backstory. The Groom is an art collector. When I arrived at the wedding breakfast I parked at a car park close to the venue and noticed the "Banksy" on the wall, I assumed it was a fake. I'm more of a documentary photographer but during the wedding breakfast (in between courses) I asked the bride and groom to step outside and follow me 'I have a great idea for a shot and I think you'll love it" and they did! The Groom too had no idea there was a real Banksy so close by. We did the shot and they where back inside for dessert without any of the guests even noticing they'd gone. It was the last shot of the day with the groom saying "We won't top that!" There's one other aspect I so appreciate about the image above. It was the start of a great friendship. I'm still hoping to catch up with Wes for a beer someday, but in the meantime, I truly value his support and his passion for the craft. A big thanks to Wes for sharing not only the image that started it all but also a wonderful friendship. Just for the fun of it, I grabbed a few of my favorites from his website portfolio. Feel free to join me in making the world a smaller place - click on any image in this post to visit Wes Simpson's website and galleries. by Skip Cohen In the "old days," there was always time to kick back and chill after the December holidays. January, especially, was considered the start of the slow season and convention time. And while winter is slow in most areas, that's only from a consumer perspective. As a small business owner in photography, it might be quiet, but you've got some planning you should be doing for the next wave of seasonality.
I get it - 2023 wasn't the easiest of years, and you'd like to hibernate for the winter. But here's my point: a little planning now sets things up for the whole year. And there are few things better than being a business owner with momentum going all year long! Whether you've put any formal time into planning the year ahead or you're still in vision mode trying to think through what you want to be when you grow up - everyone has goals. And while some are tougher to achieve and more long-range than others, nothing changes the importance of planning and turning wishes into reality. "If it weren't for change there'd be no butterflies!" Unknown Author by Skip Cohen It's January 8, and time is flying by faster than I'd like! While I know time never slows down, procrastination is a luxury. This time of year, we all go through the same process - We think about the previous year, set goals for the new year, and then work on what we need to do differently to make this year even better. Maybe everything in our skill set was right for last year, but now we need to expand to focus more on marketing to a broader audience and offer more diverse products/services. Or, perhaps the product line is fine, but we need to find more ways to reach more people. We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential. Ellen Goodman This is a short post on this first Marketing Monday of 2024. Its purpose is to plant a few seeds to think things through before you jump back into expanding and building in a new direction too rapidly. What if you change virtually NOTHING to start the year?
Here's my point - every year is a struggle to grow your business. Some years growth is faster than others, but overall it's the same process. Maybe you need to pat yourself on the back and take some time, without interruptions, to analyze how you really want to achieve your goals. If last week was the time to recharge, then this week is a prep week. Where are the best possibilities to find areas for growth through diversity and increased brand awareness? There's a great buzz in the industry this year, and there is lots of optimism for 2024. Two great conventions, IUSA and WPPI, are coming up with opportunities to spend time with your peers and so many of the key vendors and educators. At the same time, social media is exploding with opportunities, and even direct mail has the potential for targeting campaigns as you launch a new year in business. Don't rush to change things in your business just for the sake of mixing things up a little. Every business has a formula, and no two artists are the same. The key is to implement things that work best for you and, at the same time, help you expand your reach. What a year this is going to be! PS If you're stuck on ideas in the new year and need some help, you know where to find me. Just IM me on Facebook, and I'll get back to you. by Skip Cohen It's a new year; my first Reflections post for 2024. I'm staying with my usual theme - rarely, talking about business and marketing. Sunday mornings are about the personal side of life, and this morning's topic has been on my mind a lot lately..."Why?" It does jump into a business related topic, but when I headed out on my own in 2009, everybody thought I was nuts, which I am, but that's not the point. As I wrote recently, I still have days when I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. A friend recently asked me why I do what I do every day. Well, it starts with simply loving this industry. I stumbled into it completely by accident so many years ago. As I pondered my "Why," I really couldn't come up with a profound answer, except to say I love what I'm doing for several reasons: First, I'm the biggest groupie on the planet when it comes to artists in imaging. It starts with your creative spirit and then respect for your entrepreneurial endeavors. For years, I lived vicariously through all of you as small business owners until 2009, when I decided to see if I could walk the talk. Second, while my heart is that of an artist, my passion became the business and marketing side of life. I don't have the photographic creativity I respect that so many of you possess, but I wanted to play a part in an industry I love. My quest to help you focus on more than the capture of an image became insatiable. Most of you are off-the-chart right-brainers. Your creativity drives everything you do, leaving you little time to develop the operational side of your business as it deserves. So, I started sharing ideas about how to build a stronger business model. Third is the product itself - helping the world capture memories. You're the magicians who turn the intangible into something tangible, photographs and videos people can physically hold forever. Think about everything you feel when you look at old photos. That old line about a picture being worth a thousand words puts all of you as authors at a level with Shakespeare! I became an industry cheerleader, occasionally criticized for seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. Through the challenges of the pandemic, up and down economies, changing technology, and even a recession or two - the world has never slowed down in the need to capture memories. That makes the fight to help you thrive even more important. Well, here I am, still working while most people my age have retired. Why? Because I love it, and there's a never-ending need for help in post-production - not the manipulation and printing of an image, but in the final stage of creating a successful and sustainable business. My mantra has never changed: I do it because I can. I can because I want to. I want to because you said I couldn't. Anon It's a new year, and if you're questioning your "Why," take some time to consider why you chose this career path. It's a path that requires complete focus, not just on the technology of capture but on the importance of fulfillment to a client base that will never let you down as long as you stay focused on their needs. You can't create images that tug at people's hearts if your own heart isn't in it.
Wishing everybody a day ahead that's filled with love, peace and confirmation to support your "Why." Go for those eleven-second therapeutic hugs with the people you care most about. Friends and family are a big part of your "Why," but don't forget that face in the mirror. Happy Sunday...or Monday if you're on the other side of the world. by Skip Cohen
The fun of Throwback Thursday is often in the hunt. I never know what I'm going to find. Since it's the start of the new year, it seemed appropriate to look back on a moment of celebration from my past. And even though I shared this story in a post almost ten years ago, it deserves to be shared again. The year is 1993, and Hasselblad won a Mobius Award for print advertising. Even though it's usually an ad agency event, off I went to Chicago for the dinner and evening presentations. Just to say we were proud of the recognition would be a huge understatement. However, God forbid I should have to go to a rubber chicken dinner solo, so I talked my good buddy and Chicago resident, Tom Danielson, into joining me along with Jim Ritter, the Hasselblad sales manager for Chicago. Here's what I didn't know...the appropriate attire. I called and spoke with one of the more senior people at the Mobius Awards, and I was told it was usually a mix of black tie and business attire. All three of us owned a tux, so why not represent Hasselblad as upscale as possible? Here's the second thing I didn't know...that we'd be the only three in black tie out of a couple hundred people that evening! Three times I was given a drink order by somebody who thought I was a waiter! Had we been smarter, Tom, Jim, and I should have taken their money and split the evening's profit. There really is no moral of the story here, just a fun thirty-one-year-old flashback and a lesson learned: Always check with at least two sources regarding attire at any industry function. And one more lesson: print your images. Had this been digital at the time, it would have been on a floppy disc and long since lost. I'd be missing all the fun of Throwback Thursday! If you have yet to go off searching for an old memory-maker, you're missing an excellent opportunity to create a reminder of the wonder of our industry. As professional photographers, you're magicians, helping people turn the intangible into tangible memories they can hold for a lifetime. by Skip Cohen
This is that strange time of year when it's quiet from the consumer side of life and in limbo for many small business owners. It's the perfect time to hit the reset button and clear your head. But before you kick back it's also time to tie up loose ends from 2023 and do a little prep work for the new year. From loose ends to preparing for the year ahead, here are some quick ideas:
Here's my point - yes, we're at the start of the "slow season," but that doesn't mean it's slow for you as a business owner. This time of year is always a balance between things you need to do ASAP to wrap up last year and the need to kick back for a few days and clear your head. As I wrote recently, now is the time to do a little dreaming...with your eyes open. by Skip Cohen Before the holidays, I shared a post about stepping away for a few days, and I did just that. It was the perfect way to recharge and step back into the new year. It's a new year with a fresh canvas, and like so many photographers I've spoken with, we're all pretty pumped up for the year ahead. It's time to mix up the routine, take new risks, and step out of your comfort zone. However, there's one daily routine Sheila and I refuse to change - reading something motivational each morning after breakfast. With the start of the new year, I can't think of a better thought to share than Melody Beattie's this morning. It's from one of her earliest books, but there is no expiration code on wisdom. It's a little too long for a blog post, so I'm paraphrasing what she wrote for January 2... Go on your own journey. Don't let others hold you back; don't hold them back. Don't judge their journey, and don't let them judge yours. Many of us started our journey by having the experiences others thought we should. Some of us tried to dictate the lessons and adventures of others, too. This caused pain and confusion for all. Learning those lessons, the lessons of setting each other free, became an important part of our journey...Go where your heart leads...Don't limit your own experiences. Don't limit the experiences of those you love, or those you meet along the way. It's a new year the perfect time to think about the journey ahead. What do you hope to accomplish in 2024? And like the quote below - it's a great time to dream with your eyes open! All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

“Celebrate endings—for they precede new beginnings.” Jonathan Lockwood Huie by Skip Cohen
When I started this series, Sunday was simply a way for me to recharge for the week ahead. Reflections became a labor of love, allowing me to step away from writing about business and marketing. A few days ago, I posted what I thought at the time would be the last post for 2023. Well, it's Sunday, and I'm a creature of habit. So, this is a short post wishing you a HAPPY and HEALTHY New Year. May the new year bring you success and one step closer to your dreams. And as far as this past year - savor the view in your rearview mirror because everything that happened, good or bad, in the past brought you to today. Thank you for your support, feedback, and especially friendship. Happy New Year! Sometimes you gotta take a break from all the noise to appreciate the beauty of silence. Robert Tew by Skip Cohen The other day, I shared a post about gathering your "tribe" and taking the time this week to catch up with those special people who make your life richer. I'm taking it one step further today, and attempting to practice what I preach. You'd think at my age, I'd know what I wanted to be when I grew up. *sigh* Well, it just hasn't happened, and as 2023 winds down, my head is filled with project ideas for the new year, things I want to accomplish, and new goals. It's all positive, but even strategizing on what I'd like to be doing in the new year makes indecision an adversary, and it's time to simply take a break. I'm stepping away from the noise and, like the quote above, appreciating the silence. Silence is one of those unique business tools we all forget to use much too often. I need a few days to simply chill, appreciate everything in my rearview mirror, and figure out the route for the 2024 "trip." Being able to step away from business this week is a luxury not everyone has, but if you can, I highly recommend it. It's a critical step to avoid burnout and recharge your battery. If you can slow things down, start celebrating New Year's today, and meet me back in the "office" on Tuesday, January 2. Thank you for all your support, feedback, and great ideas on how I can help you thrive in the new year. I wish you the best close to 2023 and, even more importantly, a great kickoff to the new year. New technology, products, great conferences, and new friends are all setting the stage for 2024 to be amazing. See you on January 2 - Happy New Year! I simply want to take a break and catch my breath.
But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you. Ruth Wilson by Skip Cohen No matter what holidays you celebrate or where your spirituality takes you, this time between Christmas and New Years is always strange. From the business side, it's about wrapping up loose ends, dealing with a few things on the Customer Service side of life, and winding down. But there's still a sense of urgency as we all wonder, "Okay, what do I still need to knock off for 2023?" On the personal side, many of us are catching up with people we've not been in touch with as often as we'd like. From holiday cards to emails, phone calls, and social media, people we care about become more accessible. Just as the rush to get things done before the holidays, now is the time we tend to be more reflective. I've written a lot about the routine Sheila and I have to read something inspirational each morning after breakfast. This morning's reading seemed particularly relevant to this time of year, when we are connecting with so many people in our lives. To create a richer life, gather your tribe and let them know how important they are to you. Spending time with your tribe fosters connection and understanding. Life is designed to be shared, and when we identify the people who make our lives better just be being in it, we foster a sense of belonging. A tribe can be a little or as large as you desire. Choose those who uplift, inspire, and interact with a spirit of love. Emily Silva And here's my point - take advantage of the change in pace this week. Stay away from the "negators" in your life, but make an effort to reach out to the people who make your life better. There's an old line I've always loved, "Angels do exist, but sometimes they don't have wings and are called friends."
Go find your "angels." Take a minute and think about everybody in your life. Is there anybody you've missed you want to catch up with before the year ends? Everything we do, from close friends to supportive vendors, takes a village or a "tribe," as Emily Silva wrote above. And to my village/tribe...I'd be lost without you, including my readers. Thanks to your feedback and input, life just keeps getting better. It's not always easier, but it's ALWAYS better! Happy Last Tuesday of 2023! |
