New post up on Blue Violet, my substack about contradictions, identity, and finding yourself.

“She helped turn around a bad travel day and reminded me of something I’d forgotten since caregiving for my mom…”

About half my sense of humor comes from my grandpa Arnold, a wry Brit who knew the perfect moment to poke you in the tummy… and the other half from MST3K, watched late at night on network TV as a teen. It brought me so much joy when it was miraculously revived for season 13. I’m going to throw as much $ at it as I can. Will you help too?

There’s often talk about screenplays and optioning for the screen. I enjoyed hearing from the filmmakers who successfully adapted these books… maybe needed a bit more about those that have not done as well?

Caregiving for my mom has changed my life. It has for so many others, as you've read in One Wild Ride, a lit journal for stories about caring for our aging parents.

Caring Across is supporting caregivers and trying to fix the broken system of care in the US.

Will you consider giving? 🙏

Which platform are you predominantly using these days?
