How to Create a Sacred Bond with Editors
Wouldn’t it be great if you had a cadre of editors who accept your articles for every one of their issues? Realistically, though, freelance writing isn’t always that stable.

FEATURED PUBLICATION: Microsoft’s Easy Website Builder
Overall, I really like this new tool from Microsoft (http://smallbusiness.officelive.com). It’s easy. It’s free. And, it’s great for people with no web experience.

Looking at the plate, I knew this restaurant in Todos Santos was doing something right. The beef was sliced across the grain, drizzled with olive oil, topped with freshly grated parmesan and finished with baby watercress. My wife always humors me, trying to steal a bite or two, but this time I had to fight…

Just Laid Mama in La Paz, Mexico
After your first beer, you begin to explore this peaceful oasis in the midst of dusty, noisy La Paz. The city is about two hours north of Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Suddenly you see flames leaping from under the hood of a truck. Then you smell grilled meat, wander over to…
