Pathways to Hope– a conference for anyone affected by mental illness

September 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

  Two weeks ago I attended the Pathways to Hope Conference, a community-wide conference sponsored by over 10 faith based organizations and communitywide mental health organizations and representatives from law enforcement agencies in San Antonio.

The air that angels breathe

August 19, 2016 Leave a Comment

The air that angels breathe   Today is National Aviation Day - a day to salute the magic of flight and, for me, a day to honor my late husband's lifelong dream to be an air force pilot. My first date with Larry was a visit to Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, where we both were students at Texas Tech. "I never get tired of watching the same landing patterns over and over," he told me. "I'm going to officer training school after I graduate and to pilot training after that." Just before we … [Read more...]
