I’ve said it a few times in different blog posts that my intention for this blog was sidelined due to enormous headlines at the time it was set-up. My NY Editor gave me a suggestion to start a fan page at Facebook where I could share my writings. I DID IT!! [...]

John Travolta’s Insensitivity

As a mother who also lost a son too young in his life, I’m simply appalled at the insensitivity of the media in reporting the Travolta family tragedy. I understand when someone is in the public spotlight they have no privacy BUT some matters should be off limits to all of us.
