FEATURED CAUSES So many worthy causes exist today that one couldn't possibly mention them all. I've taken the opportunity here to mention just a few that have directly impacted my life in one way or the other. I do hope you'll check out each page and hope that the information and/or my experiences with each are valuable to you in some way. E-piracy    -- the theft of an author's intellectual property; all visitors need to read this! Breast Cancer    -- the latest in the news on breast cancer, along with my own past experience of having a biopsy; leave a comment or your own story to be posted. Beloved Pets    -- a page dedicated to the animals who enrich our lives; something to make you smile!
