Jerry:

Having two blogs sometimes requires a lot of time. However, “Write your Life! “is pretty much devoted to encouraging others to write; it’s newer and more focused that “Never too Late!” I do mention writing there as well, but I cover a lot of other things too. Since I seem to have a lot of time and am not trying to make money, it works, although “Write your Life!” hasn’t attracted a lot of attention. I might combine the two eventually. Who knows?

Thanks for the reminder, Marlys. Done! I’ve often wondered about the advantages or disadvantages of having more than one blog. If you have a moment, I’d be delighted to hear how it is working for you.

Great idea! Also, how about listing my general blog, “Never too Late!” (http:seniorwriter.blogspot.com) in your Wisdom/Elderly” sidebar list? It’s sort of a Chicago version of Ronni Bennett’s Time Goes By (much newer, less popular, and less sophisticated, of course). Thanks for listing “Write your Life!”

Keep up the good work.

This is a great post about following passions and dreams, and grounding ourselves in places with history. Symbols are powerful. And places carry the energy of the things that have happened there.

The fact that hundreds of people run those stairs, thinking about their dreams, imbues the place with power. It made me want to go run the stairs myself! I was glad to read that he finally got through to Stallone and he ended up endorsing the book. There *is* hope for the world.
