We've Remodeled' Check out our New Look!

With the changing seasons, we've decided to change our look.  Bitter winds blow early this year, and we hope they sweep away and cleanse bittter memories anyone out there may have.  Speaking of bitter thoughts, briefly let me comment on "Scandals," a Fall CBS show that is new.  I watched it with trepidation; I am the victim of a stalker myself.  Nothing has happened for some time, but I'm always looking over my shoulder, more than13 years after the stalking began.  The show was realistic in many ways, except that the police in the show are way too caring.


Usually, nothing happens.  Local police like to throw back to the civil arena, or they want the victim to play detective.  Not a good idea.


Also, the police officer, a woman, in charge of the "stalking unit" online is herself a victim with secrets.  Nice dramatic touch, but who knows?


Gavin De Backer's "The Gift  of Fear" is a good read for those of us who have this problem. The book builds awareness, yet instills courage and confidence.  There are also other good books that help by various psychology groups.


One day, I'll publish the log I kept of everything that happened to me, and my legal odyssey.  Only one Congressional Rep. helped; he could do nothing but sent a personal note commiserating with me about his stalker.  He died this week, very young, from a chronic illness.  I said a lot of prayers for him.


I hope you like our new look.  Please comment, but keep it family friendly.   More soon on farm to table dining and a new book on eating local. Blessed be!
