Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi everyone ... I've was away over the Labor Day Holiday and have since been busy with helping Katrina evacuees, so I am slow to catch up on everything. Whew -- that was a lot of emails to read through! :-) Anyhow, as you may know, I write a lot of articles and I ran across a couple of opportunities that some of you may be interested in. Here they are: 1. Wanted: both " success stories " and " horror stories " with regard to BEING APPROVED FOR (OR DENIED) SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS. Will use name or keep confidential as requested. Participants will receive a f.ree copy of book when published. Prefer to do brief phone interview. Contact thedisabilitydoc@.... 2. Looking for very brief stories of OVERCOMING for my bi-weekly newsletter. Example: The worst day of my life was when I was laid off from the company where I'd worked for 30 years. I was 58, still full of enthusiasm and terrified that I'd never find another job. After sitting around for a month feeling sorry for myself and getting on my wife's nerves, I decided, since I was in sales, to get on the phone and start selling myself. I called everyone I knew even slightly, letting them know exactly what I was looking for. One of the 500 calls panned out and I found a great job. Yes, that's right, it took 500 calls. Fear of losing everything (my wife is disabled and can't work) was a great motivator.†This may be simplistic, but it's the kind of problem>negative r eaction>solution> take away--story I'm looking for. Lynn Colwell, Lynn@..., www.bloomngrow.net GOOD LUCK! Love and Prayers, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
