It also reserves the right to deny publication. SLN reserves the right to use stories in future publications. In 12 years since the original SLN Web site launch, much has changed on the information highway and new media platforms have emerged. But one thing hasn't changed; stories about economic despair, corruption, disasters and tragedies dominate the headlines. Government, education and health care are three hot topics in which any good news is seldom seen in media headlines. In addition to your silver lining stories, SLN is dedicated to cover the "silver lining spin" in these topics and others. Look for our new Web site this fall. Watch for a new staff, new format and fresh content that makes SLN **FIRST** with the GOOD NEWS! --Aug. 6, 2012 Rebecca K. McConnell founded The Silver Lining News in 1972 but then shelved the project to raise her growing children. Consequently, she didn't develop the publication to its full potential then, but kept the dream alive and the business registered. Now 38 years later, she is moving SLN's long-standing commitment forward with new ideas and plans to be FIRST with the GOOD NEWS for all who want to find it. We hope this will start people thinking of how to find Silver Linings. Every day lots of us have ordinary Silver Linings, it's time to start looking for them and we ill all be healthier and happier. The staff isn't comprised of sexy girls or even tall girls. However..they can write great, enterprising features that can have a dominant presence on the Internet. We look forward to producing content and welcoming leads on everything from astrology to the Internet, and social media, shopping, business, cruise vacations (or any vacation), weddings, holidays, health and fitness, hobbies, finance, dating, nutrition, flowers, entertainment, recipes, jokes, games, birthdays, parties, April fools stories, dogs, cats, kids, famous quotes, poems, news, and anything that has a positive story line with a silver lining moment, ending or element. Please send in your stories. The silver linings you have found in your experiences may be just the story that will make a huge difference in someone's life. Instead of looking at life's storms, find the rainbows and silver linings on the clouds. A positive attitude is one of nature's best healers. As the "Silver Lining Network" is using all forms of media as it becomes possible from print, internet, radio, T.V. and any other media related outlet. We are also a network of people helping each other and ourselves find our Silver Linings. "The Silver Line" is copyrighted by The Silver Lining News 2012, as well as "THOUGHTS ARE THINGS".
