   Hello all! How was everyone’s Christmas? I had one of the best Christmases I’ve ever had. I got all that I wanted and I’m not talking about just the gifts. I also ate A LOT! I don’t think I’ve ever eaten that much food…EVER! My family is Trinidadian and there was a lot of them that came from out of town so the house was well stocked. Not to mention my mother and aunt love to bake! I will be in serious gym mode this week.

   Today is the last set of opportunities for 2011! I’m excited for 2012, are you? It would be a good idea to get some submissions in before the new year is here but I know how busy the holidays can be. Maybe you could find some time and plan your submissions for January? It’s a new year and a wonderful opportunity to start getting your work out there. Submit, submit, submit!
