Although I still miss Junior terribly, I am starting to get myself busy again with working out, traveling, and just trying to be a nicer person to Squeaky.
It has been so emotional for me this year. Bad news with so many friends with health issues, deaths…just brutal.
I know that there are just some years that are like that, but it still makes me sad.
On a positive note, I have been doing a lot of work and working with some great people. I am excited about the stories I have been doing for my clip stores.
I don’t think I give enough credit to Chuck, but he truly comes up with some really great stories for my stores. He is super creative with the storylines as well as the characters. It is really fun shooting with him as well as just shooting people with his storylines. Anyone that has ever done one of his stories, really has fun.
I also have some great fans that have sent me stories that have been great as well. I feel very fortunate that I have such nice people as fans that only want to help me. They also give me some good advice I take to heart on improvements. Thanks to all of you for that! 
I have some really busy months coming up and I am happy to tell you that I have one of my best friends, Savannah, coming out to Las Vegas in late June. If you want to do any customs with her, let me know. She doesn’t come out to Vegas a lot…once a year if I am lucky. I will also be working with another close friend that lives in Vegas…Dragonlily. I am going to work with both of them at the same time so if you want them both for a custom, that would work.
Anyway, I think seeing my friends will definitely help boost my spirits. I think friendship is good for the soul.
Take care and hope to blog again soon.
