While you are at the site, read all the good news viewers have shared so far.  It just might lift your mood and remind you that good things are happening all over the nation, even during these challenging times.  Bette says, “I read somewhere that you can change your life when you change your mind.  I know that from my personal experience, it is really true.” Treat yourself to her story by reading the link above.  You’ll be glad that you did.

DIY Publicity Tip: More major television news outlets are inviting viewers to share their perspectives on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media.  Many are sharing the verbatim answers directly from their computer screens with the viewers.  If you have value to add to stories as they unfold, chime in,  offer your perspective, and be heard.
