An hour of musical theatre, jazz and original work that has never been published, sung with alumni who were in those same productions.

Every dollar goes to the North Lenoir High School Drama Department, for live productions and for the students in them.

With Clifton Cuddington, Holly Holder, Allison Manning, Parker Ball, Anna Hull, Abigail Hull, Anna Marshburn, and current and former students in the closing number.

First books

The three Love Lives Within paperbacks side by side: mama in yellow, rage and fury in red, bigger than me in turquoise, each with its title set small and centred.

The first three Auntie LouLou books

mama, rage and fury, and bigger than me. A small book series, published under the pen name Auntie LouLou™.

mama is about the many directions we seek in life, and how — in the end — they all point to love. rage and fury takes life’s inevitable pains and turns them toward it. bigger than me asks how love feels in the face of the most painful moments there are.

Each one is a book to read in a half-hour and savor for a lifetime. The influences are Shel Silverstein, Maya Angelou, Don Miguel Ruiz, Thich Nhat Hanh and StoryPeople.

Resiliency The Podcast begins

A global conversation of changemakers, co-hosted with Dr. Kelly Culver.

A genocide survivor. A Navy captain. A chef who walked across America. The question is always the same one, and the answers never are.
