Martha Gears up for the Holidays
The AP reports on Martha as we head into the holiday march.Martha Stewart, in prison for one of her favorite holidays, says she is "safe, fit and healthy" and grateful this Thanksgiving for the support of her fans.
In a new message on her personal Web site, the homemaking maven also says she is being treated fairly by staff and other inmates at the federal women's prison in Alderson, W.Va.
Stewart says she has received thousands of letters and 15,000 e-mails since reporting to prison Oct. 8. Her lawyers have said she spends much of her time at Alderson writing - perhaps for a book rumored to be in the works.
Martha has a ton to be thankful for in my opinion. Most interesting to note is that: "Shares of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, the media company Stewart founded, have more than doubled since she was sentenced in July and have traded recently near $21 - its highest level since the stock scandal broke in 2002."
A simple prediction: Martha will turn her lemons into a refreshing pitcher of sparkling lemondade. She will also keep working her well-established Web site, Martha Talks. She will have some projects to promote after all and what better way? It's serving as her primary communication device.
