Touchdown, Your Story

You are here: Home » Touchdown, Your Story   James always wanted to score a touchdown in a big game. He used the Design Your Story Submission Form section and told me he wanted an adrenaline rush and some excitement. He let me run with it (literally).  I h ope you enjoy James and thanks for your submission. It keeps me busy and I love connecting with my readers and subscribers!  September 13th, 2012 Make that push right through the line. Feel the energy as you move powerfully through the large lineman standing in- between you and your field of vision.
