Hello new Friend.My screen name is "Atika". I trust you are well today. I received your email today. Yes, I would like to be your ehow friend. I am grateful for your howto on asthma. My son and myself both suffer with this chronic illness. I have searched and have yet to see the solutions you stated. I also enjoyed your other articles. I am happy to be a writer for ehow as I really like to help people. I too love to write poetry, I have a poem on poetry.com that is to be published in 2 books and on a CD. I also am an artist , I love to draw and work with pastels. Thank you for being my new ehow friend. Have a lovely day. Sincerely,your new ehow buddy, Atika
