• I am a 2017 NaNoWriMo Winner

• Women’s March and “The Iron Butterfly”

  When I heard about the hullabaloo about the Women’s March, I could not help thinking about my grandmother portrayed in my book called “The Iron Butterfly” Unlike the boisterous women some of the marchers were, my grandmother tackled the equality rights silently some 90 years ago when equality rights were still unheard of. She had…

• Motivational Monday – October 24, 2016

    Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your complaints. Sir William Osler     Until…

You do no one any good if, like Hamlet,…
