“ And how! First of all, an invitation to appear on the Argent channel’s morning show (LCN). Maybe also a new freelance writing contract (stay tuned). Most of all, congratulations from all over, even from people I don’t know. These words of encouragement are even more appreciated by a self-employed worker who is often on her own and who rarely gets that pad on the back ”
