Tea: Mandarin Green
Music: The Beatles, "A Day in the Life"
Time: Evening.
This, I hope, will be free of ramble.
Being a freelancer myself, I know that it can be a tenuous position. But at least I have my health and am in no immediate danger of losing the roof over my head and the heads of my family.
I've never met Lori Hall Steele. Until today, I hadn't heard her name -- although chances are, I've read something she wrote and am not making the connection.
Anyway: Short version of the longer story, which can be found here: Lori Hall Steele, a freelance writer and a single mom of a young son, is confined to a hospital bed because of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and Lyme disease.
Her medical bills are skyrocketing and she's about to lose her house to foreclosure. But the American Society of Journalists and Authors is trying to do something about it, with a blogathon to draw attention to her plight -- and to this site, where people can donate to her cause.
Read the links. Read her work and her story. Do what you can.
Pass it on.
