Off The Chain

Horror Author Frank Bittinger and I spend another hour of horror filled fun togther-  Over the centuries, Frank Bittinger has experienced many existences. In this incarnation, Mr. Bittinger is a vegan who lives and writes in historic Western Maryland, sharing his home with a menagerie of pets, several alternate personalities, and the occasional ghost. One of his favorite pastimes is taking walks in old cemeteries in the evening.

I have wanted to be a fashioned designer since I was just 13 years old. My grandmother introduced me to the love of sewing at the young age of 9 and I was hooked.  Flash forward several years to when I became a mom to the cutest, sweetest little girl, Isabella. Her vivacious spirit and love for life inspired me to start designing again, and Bella Sunshine Designs was born. Since then, I’ve had another baby girl named Lilly.  Both my babies give me so much inspiration to pull from.  My designs focus on bringing light and joy to life.  Simple clean lines with a little flair. A tiny bit old-fashioned, but still young and fresh.  Classic with a modern twist! So many things are in the works behind the scenes at Bella Sunshine Designs.  We are constantly evolving.  We have plans to innovate the sewing world one pattern at a time.  Thank you to all of those that have been cheering us on from the very beginning.

This show is a special show that a fellow author and friend of mine decided to do because of the holidays and because it is something that is not discussed openingly enough. The topic of this show is GRIEF. No Wanda and I are not going to tell you how to deal with grief, no we are not going to tell you there is a timeline and no we are not going to tell you to get over it. Grief is a very personal emotion. And anyone who says they have never had to deal with grief they are not being truthful. Grief is not just about a death, it can be a loss of a job, a move to a new place, a loss of a home, Grief comes in many events in our lives. Children especially have a hard time with grief because this is an emotion they cannot explain nor can they express it. Adults tend to think that children do not grieve, but they do. So join Children's Author Wanda Luthaman and myself and learn things
