Our Mission:
"Free Spirit Promotions (publisher of Big Blend Magazine) is
a company based on the belief that education is the most
formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance
and prejudice. It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community."

One Last Dance – It’s
Never Too Late to Fall in Love: A story about
finding love at any age, One Last Dance is the
delightful tale of Morgan, aged 89, and Dixie, 79, two
"mature" individuals on seemingly divergent paths.
Despite their disastrous first meeting, it was obvious
to bystanders, that the two were fated for each other.
