Holiday Plus Ice Storm Equals no Leads today!

I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season. For the Midwest, it is cold, icy, and snowy. Where ever you are, enjoy the ones you love and if you are lucky enough to find a spare moment, put the words to the paper and write.

Not many good leads out there today. Looking forward to the first of the year for new leads to break free. Until then, blessings for a grand holiday.

Warmly,

Terri
