Dedication to a friend and fellow author, Sandra McLeod Humphrey.

/ Lori / 2 Comments
To a friend of mine that recently died in a house fire along with her husband, may they RIP, and God Bless them both.
             Sandra McLeod Humphrey– who was the author of several childrens books.   Sandra,   you will be truly missed by so many. Sometimes in life we meet people that we never get to experience what that person was all about, but theres something inside you that says this person is special and worth knowing. I believe you were that person for me. I feel like I’m cheated but it was that age old adage I always said to myself I will get to know this person better when I get time, or I will peruse her books when I get time, of course we never let ourselves have that time. We always seem so caught up in things that truly are meaningless and not worthy of our time like a possible good friend could have been.
I will miss you and the woman I didn’t get to know will be missed more because she truly was  a great person, and your reputation spoke to the type of individual you were.
and it wasn’t just my loss it was a loss for the literary world.  She had sent me an autographed copy of her book “They stood ALONE 25 mena and women who made a difference”  I suggest anyone who loves to hear about heroes and pioneers  read this book.  Sandra was prolific with childrens books, but this was a winner no matter what age group.  http://www.amazon.com/They-Stood-Alone-Women-Difference/dp/1616144858/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354223184&sr=1-1&keywords=they+stood+alone+25+men+and+women+who+made+a+difference
Thank you Sandra you left behind so many “GREAT” books to teach and entertain children, and after all educating our youth makes you a Perennial being!

I Love you DAD!

One year ago on 11-11-11 at 11:??AM  my Dad,  (Raymond Woodring Sr.) passed away from Lung/brain cancer.  I wish I had known him better and looking back I realize just how much of a dedicated Dad he had been.  He tolerated a lot, but still loved us unconditionally.  He LOVED BILL COSBY so I will end this with one of his quotes:

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.  ~Bill Cosby
I LOVE YOU DAD!!!

Ironically, after I escaped that camp in Iran, I returned back to the USA (in Detroit) on Nov. 14, 2001 My Dad’s birthday.

My Synopsis on this PTSD

/ Lori / 2 Comments

Trenton you are hearing advice from a very knowledgable lady that is CYNTHIA PUDRITH, we know each other well.  We were both in the same PTSD group and I’ve come to love her like a sister, well in my case MORE THAN MY SISTER..(Long story).

Forget and ignore that other entity that thinks she knows everything.  She is only in here to stir up shit and make people feel bad.  It’s obvious she doesn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground.  And the only reason I approved her post is because I believe in freedom of speech.  We can learn from everyone even the dull and ignorant, even if it’s learning how to NOT BE LIKE THEM.

I get where your coming from.  My PTSD wasn’t caused by what yours was, but I was in an Iranian torture camp, and Cynthia has went through a HELLISH, HORRIFIC experience but I will let her share if she feels comfortable.

There will always be people like this KNOW NOTHING, and I’m not saying that to just condemn her, I TRULY BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE.

If you ever want to be excluded from any further posts of hers, let me know, but it sounds like you are more than holding your own, and you have the UTMOST RESPECT from me.

I’m so happy to have met you, and to know there are other human beings out there that genuinely care for others.  God Bless, Lori

 

Discovery Channel Documentary

I’m finally doing it, the Discovery Channel is coming to my house to make a DOCUMENTARY about what happened to me in Iran.  I’m so scared and am urging everyone to pray for me.  The people I’ve known since blogging have been the most supportive in the world.  I can’t thank you enough for all your nice, encouraging comments as well as reviewing my book.  I will keep you up to date on when it airs and how it is going day by day.  Again thank you everyone!
