Have you ever run across someone who must be an angel because of all the good things they do for others? If you know Ionia Marin then you can answer yes to this question. She is dedicated to filling her days with more activities than is reasonable to expect from one person. Her energy appears to be endless as she takes on project after project which have as an objective to make whatever world Ionia has chosen to support, better off as a result of her presence. Want details?

How about the blogging world? Ionia not only has a very successful blog Readfulthings, but she has also established the critically acclaimed and Freshly Pressed Community Storyboard. Not content to start a literary juggernaut she turned to a fun project called The Year Long Story – line by line. This is a place where loads like me can take a swing at contributing to a story which is developing one line at a time. Talk about laugh out loud. The comments section is like grabbing the Sunday funnies and forgetting troubles for a while.

How about the caring for other author’s world? Ionia is one of the most well read and learned reviewers on the planet. She is very serious about this aspect of her life , but not to the point of wanting to hurt an author or cause them to become discouraged. Her reviews point out the good and bad without false optimism or degrading scorn. She is the consummate (I have always wanted to use the word) professional and demonstrates with every review her care for the author community.

How about the step up and take care of those who need help world? Ionia is a safe haven for an orphan, lost puppy, or emotional human needing support. She continues to open her heart and in many cases, her home to those who simply need a friend and one who cares. She has an immense store house of love available to all who can benefit from a kind word, gesture, hug or even a roof. Her offer of taking care of others has no strings and is freely offered.

How about the love for her family and friends world? Her children, her pets, her fiancé all benefit from the overwhelming love that Ionia showers on each of them. There seems to be no limitation to where she will go or what she will do to make certain they feel and are comforted by her love. Her friends have the same benefit and all of them know if there was one person to call in times of trouble it would be Ionia.

Thank you Ionia so much for helping Launch My GRL and I will always be grateful for the support you have given not only on this one, but all the others writings as well.
