For today, it’s an interview, initially suggested by EIF, a dedicated publisher of fiction,
poetry & memoir (thanks so dearly); publisher of many books and conducted by BoldJourney–a splendid online magazine that feels young to me.
Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Selma Martin. We
think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Selma, thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed
that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting
with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism
and where you think it comes from.
1- Where does your optimism come from?
It would please me so much if you’d head to Masticadores to read My humble thoughts
on being an optimist. I also hope you find value in reading.
Thanks for reading my friends.
