Sometimes you deserve a second chance, not because you weren't fabulous the first time but because the timing and circumstances weren't quite right. You just got overlooked."
-Carol Williams

Does getting Featured here in The Rain sometimes feel like a roll of the dice? Not anymore. I'm always open to member suggestions on posts that should be Featured but somehow got missed.

Giving deserving posts more exposure is what Second Chance Saturday is all about. As you read blog posts during the week, be sure to TAG ME in the comment section of any post you wish to nominate as Feature-worthy. Then watch for it in the next edition of Second Chance Saturday.

Second Chance Saturday is back as long as the site keeps functioning as it currently is. Fingers crossed.

Hi Carol:

Thanks for the reading list - looks like a good one, and I clearly have some catching-up to do.

I hope all is well in your area...the stories about the Pacific Northwest are horrible.

Hi Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD
I think our air is a little better than yours. I checked this morning and yours is off the charts. Stay safe... or escape somewhere beyond this mess. I would if I didn't have my sis in law to look after. Stay safe!

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS
Yes, the air quality in all of the Pacific Northwest is horrible. We aren't quite as bad here as down in Oregon. We're praying for rain!
