Woo-hoo! And I do mean WOO-HOO!

Two years ago, almost to the exact day, I submitted Fall-themed images to a womeńs magazine. And in the following couple of years, Íve submitted others which were not selected. I had honestly given up hope they would ever use anything I submitted to them, but I still kept submitting.

Last month I opened my email inbox to find a most exciting message from the Editor informing me they had selected this image for their November cover! (And they couldn’t get in touch with me and had been trying….OOPS.)

The lesson for today is: NEVER, EVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

(And make sure your inbox is cleaned out regularly so important messages don’t get buried in the daily pile.)

(And always make SURE you DOŃT download the French and Spanish keyboards to your iPad unless you can figure out how to undo them.)
