I’ve given several speeches in my journalism education and career, but none that have lasted 30 minutes or longer. But, if anyone wants to witness this first, while learning how to stay safe in the face of disaster, come out to Rowlett next month. I will be heading up a talk on weather preparedness in…… MORE
My older daughter is 17 years old today. How can that be? After all, I’m still trying to lose the baby weight I gained when I was pregnant with her. We already survived the driving thing, and now we about to dive head first into the whole college application process. I should be an expert…… MORE
I took an unexpected trip down memory lane this week. I was sorting through boxes in my garage and found pictures of old boyfriends and greeting cards from family, college friends and my ex-husband.

On March 15th I was assigned to cover the story of Fort Worth Police Officer Matt Pearce, who had been shot several times. I went to JPS hospital for a news conference with Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald to update everyone on Officer Pearce’s condition.

Well, that may very well may have resonated more than we know with voters. Looking back on the election in 2008, along with the use of social media, Barack Obama may only be…… MORE
Plenty of Fish? Are there really? I’m in my 30s, and about to enter the dating scene soon for the first time since I was a teenager. A friend of mine signed me up on a dating site and remind me to NOT thank her. After about 2 hours of having my profile active, there…… MORE
