Through their service and sacrifice, Maine’s veterans haven’t just made our state great. They’ve helped shape our country.
During the Civil War, Maine sent a higher % of its population to fight than any other Union state. Mainers have served with distinction in every major conflict since. (1/3)

Not always on the same side (I have an ancestor who fought for the British in the Revolution and my maternal grandmother's people fought her husband's people in the Civil War), but there's a long tradition of military service in my family, at least one per generation. I was the last one. 1/2

Behold Britta, the most ridiculous dog in the world. (Most of the time she's curled up in the bed rather than overflowing off it. Also we do have bigger beds)

I didn't get to eat Gouda cheese for the first time until I was in my 30s, and that's a significant part of my villain origin story.

Writing Tip:
History is one of the best sources for writing inspiration. There are some pretty unbelievable things that have happened throughout human history that most people would think only ever occur in fiction. A little historical research can go a long way!

We’re firmly entering “passing on stuff at the end of the year that’s been in inboxes for months” season and friends, don’t let it get you down.
It’s almost never a reflection of you, but of the exhaustive workload folks are juggling.
Keep going.
