My “Small Town” Orlando: When Terror Hits Home
People think of theme parks, waterslides and miniature golf when they think about Orlando. And it does have its fair share of those things, but it has another side, the small town—know your neighbors, worship together, and just generally be kind-type of town.
Orlando has so embraced the LBGT community that our town is hurting, all of us are hurting. I’ve never been inside Pulse nightclub, but either my husband or I pass it twice a day, every day when we make the rounds for his job. It is uni...

You don’t necessa...

Beyonce’s Lemonade Makes Me Thirsty
If you’re a Beyoncé fan, it’s easy to have sipped her latest musical effort Lemonade and enjoyed the sweetness and bitterness of it. The music, haunting and honest, those video images, vibrant, colorful and striking. Most listeners may have initially focused on the seemingly autobiographical lyrics that hint at marital disharmony, but there is much more there to absorb. Especially for bibliophiles and writers.
Starting with the album cover, the braided bowed head of the Formation singer is p...
