This morning, in the process of moving my office, I found a copy of the letter I wrote to the CEO of Sun Recycling on December 28, 2006. Sun Recycling is where Baby Grace’s body was found in the dumpster back in November. See on Dec 21st, Sun Recycling provided a funeral service to honor […]
Today I was able to define the statement for The Compassionate Friends newsletter. In this third workday of the SELP I was able to define my mission statement very clearly. It reads like this: What I am out to create is to transform the energy of grief, loss, anger and hopelessness into the energy of […]
Last night I attended a M.A.D.D. Victim’s Awareness Panel. This was a real eye opening experience – two fold. Fortunately Lynnsey Eakins (M.A.D.D. WPB Chapter) allowed me to enter as a volunteer. This meeting is usually reserved, and mandated by the court system, for first-time DUI offenders to listen to victims, lawyer (for both sides) […]

Live flowers indicate that this memorial is being maintained by loved ones. BOCA RATONSomebody takes care of this marker with live flowers. The day I took […]
This is the last workday for the SELP. My project is advancing and I feel like I have actually accomplished something. Even though I got many NOs & nobody seems to be able to do anything to change the status quo, I feel like I have progressed. If not ME then WHO will!!! I have […]
Another day of nos. No, no, no, no and guess what – no. You want what? – NO. What part of no did you not understand. Na na na na na. It’s becoming comical how predictable it can become. I contacted the local MADD chapter. They took my info & listened to what I had […]
I just got an email from Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. They were no help. All they did was point me back to FDOT. FHSMV emailed back with a ‘nothing we can do’ message. I also spoke with FDOT & they are also “nothing we can do” advocates. Don’t get me wrong! […]
I know what they always say about bureaucracy, but I had to try anyway. I’ve been wanting to create two things. First, I want to create a Memorial Garden at the greenspace of the rest stop plaza where the public will be able to see it & where the family can go & contemplate. Second […]
No more roadblocks! I realized what has been stopping me from completing my Descansos project. If it wasn’t for an exercise that we did on workday #2, I would have never realized that the sadness that possessed me originated from my days living in the South Bronx. I lived my whole life with the premise […]
Here I am! I have to make another Wednesday call to my SELP coach. I don’t know what to say to him. I am stuck in my descansos project & he is going to tell me “Not again!” The program started on Dec 3rd and here I am a month later & I am still […]
