Your inbox gets the “please find this child” email for the umpteenth billion time. It’s a scam. You know it is. But, facts are that children go missing. And there has to be a better way than sorting though spam.

I don’t usually read email forwards, but this one from my friend Megan Dyson was short enough to skim. It caught my attention and I read it two, three, then four times. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, what a blessing!

So, the idea was that I would lay low for the holidays. It was the holidays, after all. Add to that some sick kids and a cold myself, seemed like the perfect time for some time off. Then, when the New Year rang in, so would I. Back to work and back to the web.
