Michael's Friend Comments

Thank you so much for the invitation to friendship. I do know the difficulty in striking that balance you mentioned. And that's the point where I am. Well, I want to master having peace in this world of... everything but!

Peace,
Shalonda

Hi Jennifer:

Thanks for the insight into your life story. No doubt you had to be very dedicated and very determined to accomplish what you did. I can identify with you to some degree. I was born in a small town and couldn't have gone to university without the government grants and loans that were available at the time. I immersed myself in the academic world and managed to get a couple of small, in-course scholarships that helped pay a few bills along the way.

I'm sure you'll enjoy David Adams Richards. He's a great storyteller who really draws you in to his creations.

Hi, again, Michael,
Please read my comments on Alan Bennett's "Untold Stories".
You'll get an idea of my background.
And why I think David Adams Richards would appeal to me.

Ben:

Thanks, Ben. Hopefully this message gets to you. I'm still a little vague on the ins and outs of goodreads. I'm not quite a technophobe but it does take me a bit of time to figure out how things work.

I plan to post a review of your "Living on the Market" which I finished about a week ago. It was an interesting read. It occurred to me that Doug's addiction to playing the market comes from the same place as the current craze of buying lottery tickets. The lure of easy money when lightening strikes.

Glad to see your photo, Michael.

Good to be able to be able to put a face to a name, Michael. Glad you put your picture up on Goodreads.
Hope you have a pleasant experience on this site. regards!
