There (technically) goes more into the design than you might expect, for example I also created the design in such a way that it's customizable, so you can choose your own background color. <br /><br />O.K. enough about that, drum roll....,<br />Here it is tatatataaaa; <br /><br /><a href="http://www.zazzle.com/bestseller_writer_mug_skyblue-168850385994518607" rel="nofollow">Specially Designed <br />Writers Coffee Mug</a><br /><br />It would be great (and encouraging) when you use the share button to send it to friends, (and/or buy it:)) <br /><br /><br />HP van Duurenhttp://hpshappywriting2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-65053025085717370132016-02-17T04:51:38.466-08:002016-02-17T04:51:38.466-08:00Jennifer, I keep yearly files with all the aforeme...Jennifer, I keep yearly files with all the aforementioned tucked inside. Believe it or not, my first folder (fifteen years ago) is fatter than my more recent ones especially on the financial side. Man, how the landscape has changed. But, but, having a feel good folder is essential. Looking back at the good stuff gives us courage to forge ahead. It's humbling and exalting at the same time. Excellent and much needed post, my friend!

All creative types need encouragement, and it warmed my heart for weeks. <br /><br />Everyone goes through periods where they need a boost. I'm glad you found a way to gain perspective.<br /><br />Susan J.
