It a queen's birthday! My mama is a healthy, independent, in her right mind, still driving (cars and me crazy), God loving, Sunday dinner cooking, straight shooting, and fast driving 86 years old today. Join me in wishing her the best day ever. Las Vegas here we come!❤️❤️

Good morning beautiful people. For those who don't know, I have a housing program for older foster youth which I recently celebrated 22 years. I am always looking for furniture donations, especially dressers, couches/loveseats, and small kitchen tables. If you would like to donate any furniture or household items, inbox me. My youth also appreciate knock knacks and pictures for their walls. Thanks in advance. St. Louis area only.

As many recover from the storms, let's be mindful of how we can contribute to recovery efforts. Donating counseling services can help many displaced individuals and family as they sort out their lives right now. Check with the ACA, APA or other affiliate associations for organized efforts.

Hey everyone! This Saturday from 10am-1pm at the University City Library, I'm giving a training for Foster/Adoptive parents called "Healthy Relationships". If you would like to sign up, be sure to contact me at 314-997-0368. Thank you!
