ANNOUNCEMENT

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

I am thrilled to announce that my dream is coming true!

I will be a Judge for the Stella Shouting Contest at the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival in New Orleans in March 2022.

This is a dream for me as I have taken my children to the contest since they were toddlers where they would scream Stella at the top of their lungs. (I was so proud.) I am a huge Tennessee Williams fan, so imagine my delight when I learned about the Stella Shouting contest in the French Quarter! One of the many reasons I love New Orleans.

If you happen to be in NOLA in March, come scream at me!

I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.

Welcome to my World.

    Stella is arguably the best restaurant in New Orleans (and that’s saying something!). Stella is fancy and super fabulous with that attention to detail that takes it a step ahead of all others.

    What a day! I went to the French Quarter this morning for a Master Class on writing at the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival and as I was walking down Bourbon Street at 9am, I was so overwhelmed. There is something about the Quarter–it’s iconic for me. And it’s not just that I’m looking around and seeing the same buildings people saw 300 years ago; it teems with culture, and there’s an authenticity and beauty there that is incomparable. Walking into…

    Today when I was driving home, I saw our next door neighbor getting out of the car. A nurse was pulling up his pants and helping him with his walker. He’s a very old sick man, and he lives alone in a big mansion. I’m told he was a famous New Orleans judge for years. I feel sad when I see him–he’s bent and shaky and both his feet are wrapped in casts. One night his nurse came knocking at…

    A Whole Lotta Shaking Going On… in Samba

    Humor me if you will, and picture this: 1) a chicken trying to fly; 2) a dog doing a full body shake after a bath; 3) and an oompa loompa doing jumping jacks. Now, meld those three images together. Got it? If so, you have a pretty good idea of what I looked like at a samba class the other night.
