Blog of the Week: Dating Dementia

June 7, 2012 by admin

Thank you, Zencherry and Tina Fariss Barbour of Bringing Along OCD, for nominating me for blog awards. I will acknowledge you more appropriately next week when I am back from my Peoria/NYC trip — but I wanted to offer a hearty Namaste! and thanks for your continued support.

This morning I head off to a day of Book Expo America, where I will hang out with my editor, Jill Bailin, and browse the exhibits. The Foreign Language of Friends is being exhibited in two different places: the New Title Showcase and the Next Generation Indie Book Awards. I am feeling a bit starstruck, being in the Big Apple and having my little book on display. At heart, I’m still that working-class girl from a small Midwestern town, and I never cease to be surprised at life’s twists and turns. You just never know, eh? Pinch me!

Anyway, enough about that. Today’s the day I recommend a blog! I’m dusting off one of my personal favorites, Dating Dementia by Nancy Wurtzel. Nancy writes about a variety of topics, from the very funny to the heartbreaking. I never know exactly what I’m going to get from her, but it’s always interesting. Divorced with a college-age daughter, Nancy relocated from Los Angeles to rural Minnesota, where she grew up, to care for her mother, who has dementia. Take a look!

Sunshine Blogger Award

May 10, 2012 by admin

Thanks, Tina Fariss Barbour of Bringing Along OCD, for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Tina writes with tender honesty about her efforts to manage a life overshadowed by OCD, anxiety, and depression. Her posts educate, and her determination and resilience inspire. Tina, you go, girl! You’re awesome!

Here are the rules for this blog award if you are nominated:
  • Include the award logo in a post or on your blog (see the flower photo above).
  • Answer 10 questions about yourself.
  • Nominate 10-12 other fabulous bloggers.
  • Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs, letting them know that they have been nominated.
  • Share the love and link the person who nominated you.
So here are 10 things about me:
What are your favorite things to do? Exploring in nature, gardening, writing, travel, cooking, crafts…I have an endless list!
Where would you most like to travel? I’ve been fortunate to travel to many different countries. With my recent move to the Pacific Northwest, I have many travel opportunities right in my own backyard. I am excited about hiking the Olympic Peninsula, Vancouver Island, and other nearby areas.
Who would you most like to meet who is still living? Jon Stewart
Who would you most like to meet who has passed away? Louisa May Alcott
What do you think is the hardest thing to do? Bury a child. I’ve done it and don’t ever want to do it again.
What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink? Herbal tea, especially if it’s served in a really pretty teapot. With little sandwiches and chocolates and scones…maybe a little pre-tea champagne…oh, wait, I’m getting off topic. Sounds good, though, doesn’t it?
What is your favorite charity? Donorschoose.org. I love supporting teachers and schools.
What are you proud of? I know how to persevere, and I do not give up easily. Good quality for a book author with a *sigh* small audience. (The Foreign Language of Friends is only $1.99, by the way!) 🙂
What ambition do you still have? To learn how to treasure every moment. Life is too short to waste time with dramas, whether mine or others’.
What is your favorite flower? Purple irises and yellow snapdragons.
My nominations (in no particular order): I always enjoy these blogs!
