I’m trying to catch up after returning home from Florida, so rather than writing my own PTT post today, I’d like to thank those of you that kept us going in my absence. It was a joy for me to read the PTT posts throughout the blogosphere. The links for the past two Tuesdays are here and here, if you haven’t read them already.

I’d like to spotlight two posts today:

They Love Each Other, They Really Do! from Adventures in the 100-Acre Wood.

and

Glimmer of Hope from Dirty Uncle Mark. “Glimmer of Hope” is an excellent example of the stories I’d like to include in my book. Please go read it, be inspired, and tell me your story.

Congratulations Stephanie and Mark! I’ve linked to you in my sidebar and I’ll be happy to send you the assets magnet if you just email me your snail address. Thanks for participating!

Please link to current or classic PTT posts using Mr. Linky. Thanks!

Pass the Torch Tuesday Guidelines: Every week, we share simple and stupendous times kids MAKE US PROUD. Just write about CATCHING A KID BEING GOOD, or if you’d prefer to share your story in comments, that’s fine as well! Complete guidelines and former PTT links are >HERE< .

C: “No, you are!”

D: “Fine then. You’re infinity and two worse.”

C: “Then, you’re two infinity and two worse.”

D: “Then you’re three infinity and four worse.”

C: “Can I have a calculator?”

When I announced the great news about my book deal, many asked about the subject, but I’m just now getting around to giving you the details!

And I need your help.
