Sometimes I wonder.  Case in point, I\u2019ve been trying to pull together a book for Angel Babies Forever Loved for a couple of years now.  I\u2019ve decided now is the time.  I want it to be a compilation of poetry and interviews with moms.  I\u2019ve been begging the members at abfl for almost 6 months now to submit interviews for the book.  I\u2019ve gotten 3.  No joke.  We run a newsletter with over 900 members.  I\u2019ve been begging please submit an interview!  3 responses.  And only one of those is one of my directors!  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">This isn\u2019t the first time I\u2019ve had trouble getting action out of the membership.  About a year ago, abfl was in deep debt.  If everyone on our newsletter group gave just five dollars, we could have paid it off.  I begged for months.  Our founder asked nicely for months.  We got about 10 people to donate a few dollars.  In the end, our founder wound up paying the debt herself before leaving the organization she created.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">I guess I\u2019m just going to have to write my own story, and throw in the poetry and the few interviews I get, and maybe some articles from my directors.  It\u2019s not the first book I\u2019ve put together.  Angel Babies Forever Loved has a short e-book available online called Surviving the Holiday Season.  But it is the first time I will have to get so personal, and write my own book.  I know I can do it. I just need to manage my time and work on it a little at a time.  It\u2019s just so, discouraging. Makes me wonder if anyone will even bother to read it after I put all this hard work into it.  <\/font><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does it really make a sound?
