Down The Cereal Aisle

A friend just ordered six copies of my 2003
cookbook of memories, Down The Cereal Aisle.
As I went to get the books to send to her, I saw that I have
many copies left. So, please feel free to ask for a copy or
two of this cookbook that has recipes and memories of kids
who are no longer with us. This month, order a book for only
$13.00 total. Give it as a Christmas gift.

Writing to Heal

When my son Daniel died in 1997, writing wasn't any lofty pursuit. Writing was a means of survival. I poured pain onto the pages of my journal, hoping, somehow, that I could make sense of his senseless death, find the loophole, and bring him back to life.

There is something about writing that calms you, makes your agony bearable, and gives you solace. No one has to read or criticize what you write; you own the pages of your journal. Your days after the death of a loved one are filled with enough pain to burst your heart. If you let a little of the combustion out via your pen, you can save yourself from the explosion.

I offer online writing courses at my website and hope that you will click on the Writing the Heartache Workshop link and pursue five weeks of writing through the sorrow.

As Alice Walker stated, Writing saved me.

I couldn't agree more.
