PTSD Awareness Day

Posted on June 27, 2017 by Lillie

June 27th is PTSD Awareness Day. Although I had heard of PTSD and had an idea of what it was, I didn’t really understand much about it until I started working with Dr. Harry Croft on the book I Always Sit with My Back to the Wall: Managing Traumatic Stress and Combat PTSD. I realized that PTSD affects every one…

Happy Birthday to My Blog

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Lillie

If my memory is correct, I started a website about 1999 when I published my first novel. The Wayback Machine first archived my site in early 2001. But for several years, updating the site anytime I wanted to announce anything new was a major endeavor.

May is Military Appreciation Month. I thank all those who are on active duty now and all those who have served in the past. America is the land of the free because of the brave.

Fibromyalgia Awareness Day 2017

Posted on May 12, 2017 by Lillie

May 12 is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. Fibromyalgia has a variety of symptoms, and not everyone with the disorder exhibits the same symptoms.

Now fibromyalgia is well-recognized, but when I…
