Well, between the flu going around my family and neighborhood (I didn't get it!) and the BellaOnline computer glitches, keeping up with readers and articles has been a challenge. Some weeks I could get an article up and not be able to send a newsletter out, or maybe forum posting wasn't working. I think most things are working, most of the time now, but just to catch you up, I've listed more than just this latest article from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com.
