But I&#8217;m also presenting the program on how to keep a gardening journal. I have several journals from our own members that I&#8217;ll share, and I found <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/cdn.arbico-organics.com\/downloads\/ARBICO-garden-journal-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a fabulous free 25-page PDF garden journal template<\/a>, courtesy of Arbico Organics, that they&#8217;ll love. No time to putz in the kitchen. I&#8217;ll make a grand sweep of the Costco food department for all the snacks and sweets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">1.

Here are the major items I\u2019m offering as a package:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The WordPress website at PublicityHound.com which consists of more than 3,000 pages, solid content and great search ranking.<\/li>\n<li>Two email lists totaling about 7,000 subscribers.<\/li>\n<li>More than 70 digital products.<\/li>\n<li>The Publicity Hound trademark.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is a perfect opportunity for a sole proprietor, a boutique PR agency or a company that sells PR-related products or services. It offers the flexibility to work at home, and you don\u2019t have to relocate. Or travel if you don&#8217;t want to.<\/p>\n<p>You can dovetail my business with yours, or work exclusively as The Publicity Hound. Interested? I&#8217;m super-picky about who carries on my legacy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To do:<\/strong> Email me at <a href=\"mailto:JStewart@PublicityHound.com\">JStewart@PublicityHound.com<\/a> with the subject line &#8220;I&#8217;m Interested&#8221; and tell me why you&#8217;re a good candidate to be the next Publicity Hound. If I agree, we&#8217;ll chat. Feel free to pass this along to anyone who you think might be interested. No tire kickers or heel nippers. Serious inquiries only.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">2.
