Today is the return of Myrtle Monday… and of our blog. We were on a short hiatus as our tech consultants helped us recover from a bit of hacking. Lesson learned: keep your plug-ins up-to-date!

Now, about Myrtle. If you’ve read some of our other posts about Myrtle’s postcards, you know that Myrtle was blessed with extremely loyal friends who understood the power of the written word. I too am fortunate to have such a friend in Abbie Fink.

Abbie and I met through PRSA‘s Counselors Academy, and last year she was kind enough to listen to the whole (long) Myrtle story. Through her encouragement, I shared what I’ve learned about promise, people and potential at the 2011 Counselors Academy conference last month.

When Abbie blogged about how we became friends and about Myrtle’s postcards, I told her that I like the way she tells it! Read it for yourself on the HMA Public Relations blog.
