Happy New Year Erik, and All.
Thank you for all you do through out the year! I check Amish America daily.
I noticed in the picture of the bookstore, your book Success Made Simple. It was a great read that I highly recommend to anyone who has not read it yet.
Thanks again!

Thank you Tim! I get a kick out of that photo, was happy to see the book still on the shelves of this shop 🙂 I appreciate the endorsement! Happy 2019.
Happy New Year 2019!
Having worked “for” Amish in Counties throughout upstate New York, it is a pleasure to read your Amish America, and look forward to the replies to your posts from us readers.
My aim is to respond more to these posts, as presently I have a bit more time.
Thank you for continuing to educate us all on the Amish culture. Through my experiences along with Amish America, and your readers – understanding and acceptance, toleration and genuine friendship happens!
Godspeed and many blessings throughout this New Year,
Maureen
Maureen, many thanks, and will be happy to hear from you here if and when you have the time and inkling to post. You’ve also got me curious how you worked with the Amish in NY 🙂
