The Writing Biz Meets Pop Culture
I posted this on my other blog this morning so here it is again because I’m short of time, and I know some of you are wondering where I am. I’m here. I’m just overwhelmed with real life issues at the moment.
I know I’m going to catch flak for this one! However, I’ve been dealing [...]
William James said: “Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.”
I guess my family and I are taking the first step to overcome the misfortune of our mom’s death. We’ve started cleaning out her house. I guess that’s acceptance. It’s been three weeks since her passing, and [...]

My mother passed away January 29, 2010. Since she hated to tell her age, I won’t tell it either. Let’s just say that she lived longer than the average person, but not as long as her father who made it to 100.
Born during the Roaring Twenties, Momma was a child of the Great [...]
Hello. I’m still alive. So is my Mom I’m happy to report. I’ve spent the last few days living at the ICU in a Shreveport, Louisiana, hospital, along with my brothers and their families and assorted cousins.
My Mom knocked on Heaven’s door, but they said: “Go away and come back later.”
The doctors officially said she [...]
The Great Car War of 2010 is over, and we won. I guess. Maybe the dealership won. Who knows?
My car nut of a husband and I have been test driving vehicles of various persuasions for several weeks. We’d made the difficult decision to replace our very old 4-wheel drive Tahoe. It’s been a great vehicle [...]
Yesterday, during the morning drive time, I was listening to Dean and Rog on the radio and was dismayed when they said the voice over announcement for CBS Evening News was being changed. They’d used a recording of Walter Cronkite’s voice for years, but they were changing to a voice over by Morgan Freeman for [...]
A few weeks ago I was reading the financial advice column in the business section of my local newspaper. The subject was Annuities. I realized I didn’t know very much about this. Like most people, I think of annuities as some kind of retirement investment.
Unlike most people, I immediately started researching the subject and found [...]
Happy New Year, one and all!
I wish you all blessings of the New Year. As I said on my other blog, I have only two goals this year.
I want to be healthier, and I want to be happier. With everything I do, I’m going to ask: Will this make me healthy? Will this make me [...]
Now that the holidays are over, we can all take a deep breath and relax. Or not. Let’s face it. Some people just don’t know how to relax. They live in a constant state of anxiety and negative energy. Do you know someone like that? Oh, dear. Maybe that person is you.
There’s someone in my [...]
This year has been an interesting study in the way time passes. At times, the weeks seemed to speed along like a jackrabbit in west Texas. At other times though the days passed slower than an armadillo crossing a blacktop road. When one bad thing after another happened, I just wanted to scream, “Will this [...]
