Carmela, there are many components to pull together, especially for the first time doing visits. I am always learning, too! Much easier to share what we know to make the experience fun and worry-free.

This is one of the lovely tips I ever read. Practically all great writers start with horrendous first endeavors. You need to begin someplace. Thanks for sharing your article.
