Hi Lyn,
Your question made me look back and made me realize this month is my 10 year anniversary!  WhooHoo!   I had to take a hiatus for a few years but am back.  Yay.

December of 2006 but really didn't get 'fired up until 08.  Once I started it was full speed ahead. One of the best business decisions I've made.
