I'm very pleased, and excited, to make an announcement today.
Twenty Four At Heart is now "officially" a company, not just a haphazard combined blog and photography business.
This news doesn't change anything for you, my readers.
It does, however, help me on several fronts from a business standpoint.
It's just amazing to me, nearly five years post car accident, to see where I am now.
Needless to say,
I wish with all my heart the car accident and my resulting disability/chronic pain could be erased from the equation, but they can't be.
There's no question, I began writing here as a result of the accident.
Twenty Four At Heart, L.L.C. (the actual name of the business) has been an enormous positive born out of many, horrific, negatives.
When I first began blogging, I couldn't have imagined being where I am now just three years later.
Life is many things, but it's so rarely what we expect.
There are not enough words to express my gratitude.
Thank you so much for your support.
And now ...
I think I'm going to go celebrate!

Congratulations and thank you. I too have chronic pain but mine is NOT in the same category as yours. Your bravery supports me through the worst of mine. When I'm in a ten mode and want to die, I think of all the terrors you've put up with for so long and I can put one foot in front of another for one more day.
Thank you again. Your gorgeous pictures are icing on the cake. As you know, the beauty of a butterfly can calm the senses and bring color to a day otherwise completely grayed out by pain.
It's a wonderful feeling to have your own business. I hope you had fun celebrating your accomplishment. You certainly earned it.

-->That's awesome! So what does that mean exactly? Is it for the photography aspect or copyright issues for the writing too?
