Today is my BIRTHDAY!

Let’s all have fun taking another sail around the sun!  If you would like to give me the BEST gift ever, click through the video above to the YouTube website watch my 8-minute studio update, and give it a thumbs up!

This will directly impact my YouTube stats, and help me reach the “Partner” level with watch time.  Getting to this level means that I will have access to more features and tools behind the scenes.

Thank you for all the continued support of my zany little business. If you buy a book, take a class, or even just thumbs-up a YouTube video, you help me pay for this blog and my ongoing historical research.

I simply couldn’t do it without you!
Thank you so very much,
Dawn Devine ~ Davina
