Clockwise from upper left: Miles, Pat, Bama & Moi. Pat, Camille, & Moi. Pat & Thomas. Camille, Taurus, Holly, Thomas, & Moi Dr. Deb, Lois Crabtree and Moi, with our sister, Millicent Garland shooting the image. Sometimes you just gotta laugh …These stories are mine, but I’m a reflection of you – well seasoned.

I’m not here to self-help or fix you; it’s to remind you that
…I’m right here with you.
