    I added another entry to my journal.
    November-01-2001
    I added a Journal to the site. I added one entry to the Journal. I added the Journal's link to the index page. That's basically all I've done lately. I've been working on a Webpage for my younger brother the rest of the time. He's away on a mission. I also added the link to my brother's page onto my links page.
    October-25-2001
    I added One essay to the story page, titled My Ideal Family. I also added spelling/vocabulary words to True Thanksgiving, and Willsburg Academy; I also fixed the coding a bit on these stories (I indented each paragraph).

    As a single adult living in these extremely busy times, I have found myself without much time for social functions. In other words, it is extremely difficult to meet people face to face when you are (or are supposed to be) working or studying 24/7. But have no fear; there are other ways of "meeting" people than face to face... especially in this day and age of advanced technology. Yep, you guessed it... I am referring to online dating services. I have searched through the net for some of the best services available; and I've listed my top eight choices in the Links Page. If I find any others that I like, I'll list them there at a later date.

    I also added a link to the L.D.S. Homepage, the religion I am a member of.

    I changed the front page image to that of a Autumn scene, in celebration of the new season. I also changed the background image to falling leaves. Both images were created by my mother. There is also a new link in the index, called Memorials... a page I created for anything I have which refers to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Right now there are two things on it; my WTC Memorial, and a WTC Memorial Quilt square pattern I've been working on. I have included a link to the Memorial Quilt Site for anyone who wishes to join in the project.

    Okay... as I said before, I wasn't satisfied with the memorial I did for the World Trade Center. I finally opted for just a plain background, instead of a background image. I also took the word "always" out of every line, except for the last line. It seemed to lose it's punch before because I had used it too often. Anyway, this is what I ended up with... Memorial #3.

    (Afternoon)
    I couldn't stand the memorial to be all black, white and gray... the day was already so tragic, it hurt to look at such a dismal thing. I changed it around a bit... tried to be a little patriotic this time. It doesn't look right either... but I'm going to leave it alone for now. I'm leaving the link up to the other one as well. Anyway, here's the second WTC Memorial

    (Morning)
    I changed the front page image, and I finished revising the WTC Memorial.

    September-12-2001
    I didn't like the memorial that I made for the WTC tragedy, so I'm taking it down until I can revise it.
    September-11-2001
    An unbelievable tragedy occurred today. Four commercial airliners were hijacked, and used in a horrific terrorist attack against our nation. Please go to my WTC Memorial. It's in the first stages... I'm too much in shock to spend very much time on it today. but I will be adding to in throughout the week.

    I removed my story "Twin Moon Rising" from this site, and put it up on my Fanfiction site. I felt it would be better to just keep original things on this particular site.

    My fanfiction archive is Whispers of the Wind. Go there for stories about Batman, the X-Men, Sailor Moon, and whatever else I put up there. :-)

    July-06-2001
    Added new essay to Storybook Nook, titled What I Admire.
    June-23-2001
    Added a new Poetry Card to the Poetry Card page, titled Birthday. I wrote it for my sister, Cynthia, about three and a half years ago. I had completely forgotten about it until a couple weeks ago, when I stumbled across it while flipping through my old journals. I figured that since today is my birthday, I might as well put the poem up on my site. So, Happy Birthday to me, and to everyone else out there who is celebrating theirs. Cheers! :-)

    Although I had to remove my Ray of Sunshine Greetings pages earlier this year, I've been working for the past several weeks to come up with some sort of replacement. I am now offering Poetry Cards, Poems written by myself and my family with original music midis and illustrations. There are six cards up so far, and more to follow soon. I also took off the Ready Reminders Coloring book until I have time to redesign it.

    The new look for my website is up now. This is version 3.1 for the site. I changed the name from "Celia's Ray of Hope Page" to "Reflections From Within". I revised the Index, Album, Links, Stories, Updates, and Poetry pages. The Poetry page now includes original Music Midis as well.

    There are also seven new poems in the Poetry page. Burglar, Heal the Past, Heartache, I'll Be There, Reach Out, The Customer, and Your Smile.

    I am currently working on a new look for the site. I hope to have it ready to unveil by June first, day after tomorrow. And even though I can't afford to have a card site anymore, I'm attempting to turn my poetry into cards themselves. It will be a while before they're done, but the work is coming along nicely.

    I added another poem to Ray of Sunshine's Poetry Page. It is titled Never Ending Love. I wrote it last year for someone special to me. Things ended up not working out for us, but I still like the poem, and thought it would make a nice addition for Valentine's day. So, here it is, and Happy Valentine's Day! :-)
    January-27-2001
    I've added three new poems to the Ray of Sunshine's Poetry Page, and three Haikus. The new poems are: Don't Put Me on a Pedestal, Take Control, and The Little Spider. The Haikus are combined on one page.

    Also, I'm discontinuing Ray of Sunshine Greetings indefinitely. The greeting cards weren't being used very much; sometimes as little as four cards sent in one month. It was a free service to the public, but it wasn't free for me. I was spending $100 a year to keep the site up... money which I do not have right now because I'm out of work.

    Discontinuing the site is really hard for me, because I spent so much time and effort during the last several months trying to make it a nice site. But I can't do it anymore, so it's gone. Sorry if it inconveniences anyone.

    January-04-2001
    I've taken off my Ray of Sunshine Greetings pages until further notice.
