Shawn thank you so much for being a daily inspiration in my life. Even on the darkest days, all I need to do is read your quotes, and I get the encouragement I need to keep pressing on. I only wish you had a share on facebook option so we could share some of your quotes with friends.
I love the Bill Cosby and Last one (author unknown).
Thanks for continually being such an inspiration.
Ok Nene, I did it. 🙂 I took your suggestion and added the Share button to all my posts. It’s at the bottom right, whereas the Like buttons are still at the bottom left. Thanks for the suggestion; I hope it helps helps raise my profile a bit. 🙂
Correction; I just placed it at the top right of every post; I couldn’t get it to look good at the bottom.
best one
