A New Friend
I received an email for a new author. I was private messaged on FB by someone on my author page asking if I could help answer a few questions by this new author, Shadel. Of course I said yes, any help we can give each other out there to all new authors is a blessing […]
Muhamad Ali
What an amazing life this man had! I remember as a child listening to him rant and rave about how wonderful he was! Then there were his rhymes- amazing! It all seemed so unbelievable to me that someone could be so confident in themselves and truly believed in all that he did. Ali was a […]
Spring Has Arrived
The approach of the spring season is upon us with blooming flowers, the grass becoming a rich green, and the hum of the hummingbirds. At my house, when I say the “hum”, I mean it. If you stand outside and just listen, there are so many hummingbirds you can hear them swooshing back and forth […]
A Recent Show
We decided to do something different and go to a show in a non-casino on Mothers Day weekend. Not knowing the details and not wanting to insult anyone at all, it somehow was not what we expected. Although it was a non-casino, the building at one time operated as a casino, yet the sound was not […]
My Uncle’s Passing
My favorite Uncle, and really the only uncle that we have stayed in contact with over the years, recently passed. Uncle Harry has been dealing with dementia for about 7 years and also had an aortic aneurysm, among other health issues. Considering all his problems, he managed to always have a great and positive outlook […]
Facing Fears
My granddaughter, who is only 8 years old, told her mother and also me a few times that she wants to “face her fears.” At first, I could only laugh since my thoughts were, “What kind of fears can an 8 year old have,” right? Well, I do understand that there are so many firsts […]
A Recent Interview
Recently I was interviewed, along with a number of people in Vineland, for the Grapevine Newspaper. What we all have in common, is that in the past few years we all were honored as Hometown Heros. In 2010, after my book came out, I was honored as a hero to area communities for what I went […]
A Friends Daughter
I have a friend who’s daughter is mentally challenged. Her mom has explained what is wrong with this young lady, who is 22-23 years old, but to make it simple to understand- she is mentally about 3- 4 years old. She has graduated from whatever schools she could go to and had a job where […]
Best Recipe for a Cold Night
Finally, winter has hit, temperatures are under 20 and in the single digits around the country. What does one do when the sun goes down and it’s so very chilly your bones are cold?. For me, it’s a simple mix of breaking out the crock-pot for soup or stew and changing into my warm cozy […]
My Book
Wanting to help people in many ways is such a wonderful thing. Personally, I like to meet the families I help whenever I can, but that is not always possible. Writing my book and sharing it is another way for me to reach out and help others. By reading and sharing my words, I am […]
