 |   One writer's journey |
 She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.  My Dreams... to write of romance and endless love to love without boundaries to learn from past mistakes to laugh with all my heart to be the woman I am meant to be  TODAY... I will reach for the stars Will not give up Will give all that I have Dare to dream the impossible dream For anything in this life is possible    <---I am blown away by this    |
| Prompt: How are the newly imposed tariffs affecting you? Did you realize how many products we use everyday aren't grown or created in the states or in Canada or Mexico ? I'm a day late and $1 short. I meant to do this last night, but time escapes me during Ramadan. As a struggling small business owner, I'm terrified. It's honestly appalling how we are treating our neighboring countries who've always supported us. Mexico and Canada sent firefighters to California, and this is their thank you.  I had the news on, and I saw his little "if they impose tariffs on us, we will tariff them the same."  Hello! You started this. Now he's acting like it's tit for tat, but he's the victim. I realize that candy, pop, water, and cigarettes come from inside the US, but who's to say that the materials used in manufacturing these products aren't imported from elsewhere? Aluminum, glass, etc. The US has outsourced so many things that it's impossible to keep up with the items we import that go into manufacturing our essential goods. I live in Michigan, and with Canada fighting back [yes, that's how I see it], I keep waiting to hear that my electricity will be shut off. I do know that the avocados are coming in from Mexico, and the tariff on that will be felt. I already know the auto parts cost and markup for our customers. These tariffs will affect car parts imported from Germany, Canada, Mexico, and other regions. It's unavoidable unless someone comes to their senses. Brace yourselves. It's going to get bad unless the stock market crashes and he's held to account. |

I am not sure what the 50's or 20's are but here in South West England it has been sunny since the start of March but still getting down to minus temps at night! 
People think March is Spring in the UK but it is actually still Winter....
