Blackfoot Morning-News - The Time the World Stood Still by Donna McDine


On March 25, 2020 Blackfoot Morning-News announced a call for personal letters pertaining to one's experiences during quarantine.


Living my life with a yes to opportunities thrown my way, I eagerly wrote my first draft of my article and revised and revised again before submitting.

On my birthday, April 14, 2020 @ 8:34 pm I received an acceptance from Elisa Magagna, BSBM ~ General Manager & Managing Editor of the Morning News based in Blackfoot, Idaho. 

Not only will article with byline appear in their online edition today in the Opinion Section, it will appear in print as well. Looking forward to holding the print newspaper in my hands when it arrives on my doorstep!

I am over the moon excited! 

I'd enjoy hearing what opportunities you are saying yes to in your life.

Please continue to be safe and well!
