TIRED, SAD, MEMORIAL MOVES SLOW, BUT I MOVE ON

Thank you Phoenix for all your kind words when I stopped somewhere. I have been here 3 days. No media responded to me so I must move on but I do thank those who acknowledged me. That made my day. On to San Diego. I am trying not to be sad but only 3 stories in 3 weeks is disheartening and makes me feel forgotten. We used to get 3-5 each week. If I could travel for as long as I wanted, this would not matter. But a week out cost me almost $1000 so 4 weeks out costs $4000. I never mind spending my own money but funds are limited. So $1000 per story is pretty high... I AM SORRY BRITTY. I KEEP TRYING.

HOUSTON WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART

What a great gift was blown in by winds that followed me to Houston. Angela Chen and her photographer spent more than an hour with me getting material to craft their story about Brittany and the CARAVAN at the FOX26 Station. The end result was a passionate, powerful poignant story. Their artistry created a story that had focus on the important aspects of CARAVAN tours. How impressive and what a great way to start the 15th CARAVAN tour. Angela, her photographer and FOX26 will always have a place in my heart. And today I have already had about 1000 hits on this website and multiple honks, waves and people coming up to me.
