Love as a Way of Life
Fun Fact: I met Dr. Gary Chapman at ICRS! It’s amazing how much confidence I have when I’m wearing a badge that says MEDIA. I saw Dr. Gary Chapman walking down the hall and went up to him, stuck out my hand, and introduced myself. I told him I was giving away his book on…
You must remember this…or maybe not
I found a link that may help when we’re writing to be more aware of the audience we’re targeting.
