Pleased to meet you
Thank you Janet, pleased to meet you!
Thanks Janet, pleasure to make your acquaintance. Looking forward to getting involved with this community.
Hey, Janet. My blog/podcast: Are You Still Dreaming goes live on December 24. I'd love to interview you via Skype for the podcast. The interview would take about 40 minutes, and we would just talk about what motivated you to go back to school and launch a new career after 40. The purpose of my blog is to inspire people by telling stories of people who are still starting afresh and/or living their dreams after 40 or despite illnesses or setbacks. I can send you an advanced copy of my first blog post if you want a better idea of what I'm doing.
A very enjoyable piece "Sing Hosanna, sing!" Thank you for sharing. I would very much like to be able to share some of my choral music with you as well, but unfortunately no performances have been recorded.
