Okay, get ready, Happenstance will be full of great articles. There is a beautiful tribute poem to Fran Charlton, written by her daughter Claudia, and a wonderful article about her from regular contributor, Cindy Charlton. These are wholly different perspectives on mothering and how we—and others—are affected by it.
There is also an interesting article about acupuncture by Niki Sebastian. I have to say the idea of acupuncture puts me off, and yet I hear wonderful reports from people who have benefited from the procedure. Maybe I'll give it try. Maybe. Niki has a second article you will find compelling. It is about the other side of mothering, or perhaps better stated, the lack thereof.
I'm also expecting an article about community clean up and pride. This one hasn't been confirmed yet, but maybe if not this month, next. With the wind blowing like a son-of-a-gun it's hard to keep up with trash, but if we want a clean community we have to work at it. It's not just the job of the city workers to keep everything spruced up.
How would you like to know where your next batch of greens and garden goodies is coming from? I'm working on a story about that.
And Connie Mack returns with an inside look at a detox center, a place full of surprising occurrences. It's a humorous insider's look at the tragic reality of drug and alcohol addiction and what it can do to a person.
Robert Gallegos continues his historical perspective on Yesterday, in Las Vegas.
So, that's a quickie overview of what to look for.
Remember, I'm always looking for contributing writers. June's theme is Fab Fathers. Be sure and send something for consideration.
I would also be interested in getting "travel" reviews. In these days of high gas prices and a puny economy, where are you going and what do you plan to do when you get there? Or, where have you been and why did you go? Details and pictures, please. Well, some detail, I don't really want to know what toothpaste you use.
Have a happy...
