What an Honor!

A new article about “Surviving Sue” and Writing for Wellness is out – featured in Happiness Between Tails by da-AL – Writing/Tales + Tails + Culture + Compassion.

That’s the talented da-AL pictured above. If you’re not following her to absorb all the inspiration in her blog, what are you waiting for?

When an Emmy award-winner asks if you’d like to write an article (see link below) for her site, the answer can only be yes! Especially when the topic is healing, building resilience and recovery.

Hi — I’m Vicki and I’m a big believer in the power of connection – taking time to share what matters most. I love pondering…thinking about work, family and home life and I enjoy blogging about all of it. Cheers!

        I have some friends whose mom is going through dementia…the stories they tell remind me of some of the anecdotes about Sue you share in your book – though Sue’s antics were a bit more extreme.

          I hear you…the details may be different but the stories about dementia, the decline and what it’s like for families are often similar…and sad. I’m finding that swapping stories helps everyone feel less alone. Thanks much, David. And you’re right about Sue. She was a lot, ALOT. ❤️

    I’m always delighted when I see blogging friends cross paths. I’ve been a follower of da-AL’s blog for quite some time. I was unaware that she was an Emmy winner. She’s being far too modest about her accomplishments. Congratulations on another fine review, Vicki!.

    This is a wonderful opportunity, Vicki, congrats! I have seen da-AL’s name on various blogs and now I just followed her. 🙂 It’s not hard to see why she contacted you, your story is intense, very real, and honest. And your words are absolutely helping others out there navigate this type of dysfunction. ♥
