I’ve been remiss in using my News category at this blog.
The adage, no news is good news, isn’t the problem as much as there’s a hint of laziness.
Shocking, I know.
Let’s remedy the situation and catch you up on some Miller news −for those who are interested. You can stop reading if you’re not.
What’s New?
New Blog
I created a new blog, Why 60 Miles?
Another blog is like my mom who despite having 7 children, 16 grandchildren and 21 (or more?) great-grandchildren continues to “adopt” more children she sees at church.
The new blog developed from a passion. Those of you who follow me know I have participated in the 3-Day, 60-mile Walk for the Cure for over a decade.
I’ve written about the event many times. Now, when you click on the 3-Day Walk for the Cure posts at this blog, you are redirected to Why 60 Miles?
Hey, pink doesn’t go really well with the orange theme at this blog.
New Store
I also created a new Zazzle store to go with the new blog.
I named the store, Old Lady Walking (fits, doesn’t it?), and my fantastic designer created the cool logo.
The store combines the boomer theme of this blog with the fight against cancer theme of Why 60 Miles. The sidebar has a link to the store and rotates various products.
Zazzle offers endless merchandise on which you can add logos. I have three categories.
- Boomer Humor – with the Old Lady Walking logo and products that poke fun at boomers
- Crush Cancer – with the same logo, except there are separate colors of pink, yellow and blue ribbons added to her hat
- Fight Like A Girl – as my team retired our Fight Like A Girl name, I am using two custom logos on products
Check out the store and please share the links. If you see a product you’d like adorned with one of the logos, let me know. I can customize it.
I receive a SMALL commission on each sale, which I will use to keep this old lady walking in yet another 3-Day Walk.
New Contest
During the month of June, I am running a contest at the new blog.
- Sign up to receive blog updates (no more than once/month)
- The winner receives a gift from the Old Lady Walking store (up to $25 value)
Old Lady Still Walking
Yes, the old lady is walking in another 3-Day Walk. This will be my 11th Walk.
I have just begun the fund-raising. Each walker must raise a minimum of $2,300 to participate.
This year, a cool thing is happening. Two of my teammates and I have participated in all of the events since Susan G. Komen took over the 3-Day. My teammates also raised HUGE amounts of money.
Susan G. Komen is going to comp our airfare! As soon as I reach the $2,300 mark, they will make the reservations.
If you would like to donate, you can go to my personal page. Thank you.
All Caught Up
That catches us up on blog news. I thank you for your support. Now, you have one more place to hang out and share stories. I hope to see you at Why 60 Miles.
