Getting Ahead Of Seasonal Affective Disorder (Depression)
My Happy Light is one of the ways I get ahead of seasonal depression. It’s that time of year…darkness comes earlier, the days are shorter, and if you’re like me, you feel like you sometimes just want to hibernate like a bear and sleep the entire winter away. But, since I’ve been around the […]

The Making of Dreams
Just a quick post today–as I commit to posting more regularly about life and faith: This week, I ran into one of the first people who paid me to edit a book “on the side.” It was great seeing him and reflecting on the fact that it had been more than 10 years since I […]

So…in an effort to make up for a pretty quiet blogging summer…I’m going to do 31 quick blogs leading up to my birthday! I used to celebrate my birthday the entire 31 days before the actual day. It started one year when my dad looked at the calendar on August 10 and said “It’s […]

Honoring Mama (a part of my Mother’s Day series)
That’s me…with my mom sometime in the early 70s! I had planned to post this during my series of blogs on Mother’s Day week (how to celebrate Mother’s Day when mom is no longer on Earth); well, as grief would have it, I just couldn’t. I couldn’t bring […]

Celebrating Mother’s Day When Mama Is Not Here
I was mom’s 3rd child and 3rd child to graduate from college (Fair Dillard, N.O., LA!). She was a firm believer in education…thank you, Mama!
