Can Anyone Out There Help Me Publish My Substance Abuse Recovery Greeting Cards?
Question by Tina Marie: Can anyone out there help me publish my substance abuse recovery greeting cards?
Janice Haskins, the creator of Stepping Stone – Substance Abuse Recovery cards,
Has been writing for over thirty years. She attended Indiana University Northwest and in the spring of 1989, she placed third in the George N. Thomas Essay writing Contest. She is the author of several poems that, for the past ten years, have been published by the National Library of Poetry. Her poetry has been published into the following Anthologies “Into the Unknown, Days Gone By, In Dappled Sunlight, and Recollections of Yesterday.” She was awarded the “Editor’s Choice” award for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry in 1996.
The Sparrowgrass Poetry Society published several of her poems in their 1997 summer edition of “Poetic Voices of America.” The Famous Poet’s Society honored her as a “Famous Poet” for 1998. In August of 1999, her poem “Self Love”, was chosen by the Executive Committee of the Famous Poets Society, Board of Directors, to be presented at
their Fifth Annual Poetry Convention. This same Poet’s Society honored her a “Famous Poet” in 2002. They honored her Famous Poet again for her poem “Undetected” and several of her poems have been published in their anthology, “Famous Poems of The Twentieth Century.” She received both the “Shakespeare Trophy of Excellence and the 2003 Poet of The Year medallion.” The International Society of Poets nominated her “Poet of the Year” in 2004. The International Library of Poetry named her one of the best Poet’s of the year for the years 2004, 2005, and 2006. She is currently a member of (Eugene B. Redmond’s) EBR’S Writer’s Group in East Saint Louis, Illinois.
Janice is also a recovering substance abuser, who has been substance free for the past twelve years. She abused drugs and alcohol for twenty-four years of her life. It is only by the Grace of GOD, that she has overcome her addictions. She knows that this is a day-by-day, step-by-step process. She also knows that it is by her faith and by the favor of the Lord that she is alive today. She was led to create these cards for any and every single person who has been affected in any way, by any kind of abusive substance. She knows first hand how great it feels to receive encouragement and hope in the form of a card given by someone who truly cares. As these cards have helped her, she knows that they will be of help to others. Today she spends her time writing, speaking and sharing with others, the dangers of substance abuse.

Downtown Bloomington, IL Bar Zone Substance Use, Round I & II – This video reinforces the lax attibute of law enforcement in the Downtown Bloomington, IL bar zone. That the City’s priority is to let the bar patrons party without any interference like law enforcement., as it generates more cigarette and alcohol taxes. Its really hard to enforce the law if you have not police in the downtown in which to enforce the law. But here’s the real insult to injury, some bright spot wants to create a special dowtown tax district to make ALL of the property owners and businesses and residents pay for and subsidize all of the bad behavior associated with the bar zone and the venues that help create all of this crap. Many of the downtown Bloomington’s property owners and residents want nothing to do with the bar zone. It has been forced upon us like so many other unpleasant burdens by our own Mayor and City Council. So, now they want us to subsidize their mistake again. NO WAY! Why don’t they just take a wooden stake and just finish off the downtown with this kind of forced taxation upon innocent victims of there poor vision and bad judgement.
