Wherein I shamelessly grovel for your favor

Claudia's Bridal shop in Huntington Park, CA

 I've got just a little more than 30 days before I have a major change in my life and routine. Oh, I won't go into some of the palace intrigue that's being rumored at work these days, but no matter which scenario plays out, I will have a major change in my life. I might be unemployed; I've enrolled in some summer classes; and there's even a remote possibility I might have a job offer to consider.

One thing I would like to do is use this change to explore more options. I'm going to try to get a wider audience for my writing. Whether I'm selling it or giving it away, I'm going to try to reach more audiences.

I need to put together a portfolio, and I'm asking for your help. If you've enjoyed the writing you've read in this blog, help me choose my best work. Several of you have liked my posts about travel. Can you tell me what blog posts are your favorites?

Tell me your top three favorite posts. You can write it in the comments. There's an archive on the right, organized by date, and there's also a list of topics, or labels, below that. Or if you don't have time to search, but you remember something you liked, tell me. Or email me directly, at my profile, if you'd prefer.

I want to put together a portfolio of maybe a dozen samples, and see if I can take it anywhere. Your help will be immensely valuable to me.

Thanks.
