Hey Everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. Tracey and I decided to concentrate more on our Blog here, so we will be trying to post a couple times a week.

I want to invite everyone to check out my YouTube Channel. I have archived a lot of Guiding Light on my channel and have them all organized in playlists by year. I am currently posting full episodes from 1995 and I am at the end of May of 1995 as of right now. I try to post a few episodes each week. I post in order and I have pretty much every episode from each year. Here is the link to my channel, I invite everyone to subscribe and enjoy complete episodes  from the classic years of Guiding Light!

Tina Sloan's Happy New Year to Begin Regular Engagement In NYC

HAPPY NEW YEAR is a bold, new feature film about a group of brave veterans who find friendship while fighting to redefine their lives as they struggle to overcome PTS/PTSD.

The film, which amazed audiences and critics at the South by Southwest and Hamptons Int'l Film Festivals, tells the story of a war-torn Marine, Staff Sgt. Cole Lewis, who returns home scarred with mental and physical wounds from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lewis begins to find humanity, compassion and friendship among a group of similarly injured soldiers in the psychiatric ward at a remote veterans hospital-- survivors of World War II, Vietnam, and recent conflicts in the Middle East. As the men become Lewis' new family, Lewis becomes a ray of hope in the ward and together the men begin to heal. But just as their luck starts to change, Lewis faces his fiercest battle yet.

A searing portrait of the human costs of war by breakout writer-director K. Lorrel Manning and starring Michael Cuomo as Lewis, Happy New Year began as a sold-out Off-Broadway play and short film, inspired by more than 80 hours of personal interviews and countless hours of research the filmmakers completed with veterans, their families, and V.A. caregivers.

The film begins its regular engagement in New York at the Quad Cinemas on Friday, December 7, 2012.
