Shades of Blue                          Vol 3, Iss 2 May 16, 2014 

 
For many of you this is the first time you are receiving my newsletter. I call it Shades of Blue and the purpose is to keep you updated on my company, My Blue is Blue, LLC. (Blue for short)
 
Blue is the vehicle for my activities as artist, author and speaker. 
 
Welcome! Thanks for your interest and support of my passion.
 
Short and Sweet
Couple announcements and then I will return you to your regularly scheduled...
 
I'm excited about the response to and results of my writing workshop - Telling Your Story. A new small group will start June 1st. If you or someone you know are curious about this 6 month writing commitment, contact me at [email protected]. I'll send you the syllabus and introductory questionnaire.
 
A new year for this newsletter means a new promoted non-profit. I am thrilled to introduce to you FOCUS Ministries. Paula Silva and her team offer Christian based help for those dealing with domestic abuse and violence. They offer training for workers in the field and several other resources at there website. I have supported this ministry for over 10 years. Please check them out and consider making a contribution.
