How Are You COPING?
Coping:
The Many Faces of Love and Care
I saw the need for this book. People around me are caregivers. Their lives are rarely easy, but they COPE. Personality plays a role, and reality reigns.
Read twelve different short stories about caregivers and a quick novella about a long-distance caregiver. Think about the man who runs away on his motorized vehicle. See how the neglected daughter cared for her mother with care and compassion.
The book cover shows that there is a rainbow, and you are not alone. How did they do it? Learn from their experiences. Look for the rainbows.
This book is not a medical book, but twelve true stories about men and women who cared about their relatives and friends with love and understanding.

Have You Discovered Palacios, Texas Yet?
Today’s article focuses on Palacios. Recently, I cleaned some file folders and found I never published a story about Palacios. I wondered how the town might have changed since we were there. I recalled how much I loved sitting on the porch of the Peaceful Pelican, a gorgeous old Bed and Breakfast with antiques, wonderful food, and friendly atmosphere with a view of the water from the porch.
It was a good reason to contact the owner again. I had interviewed her on our previous trip, as she’d only owned it for about two years. I was curious what she would say now. When I called Paula Whitney, the owner, she said two topics are festering: the oyster beds and the Luther Hotel renovation.
We chatted briefly, as she is a busy entrepreneur. She shared that I am missing all the brouhaha in the town. Her hospitality business keeps growing.
I found the research fascinating and thought provoking.
