An Update During Difficult Times

When we were making the Little House series, the primary themes were family and community loyalty, integrity, and responsibility for the sake of a good life for all. We did a number of shows on equality, too. It's not as easy as making television, but I'm holding the thought and wishing comfort and reconciliation in the midst of the real need for change. Mentally pouring peace over all the suffering.

During the shut down, the pandemic raging, and people losing loved ones, essential workers taking daily risks to their lives, my gratitude for the arrival of the mail, the pick up of the garbage, the clear air to breathe has been enormous.

Grateful too for the people who called to do radio or podcasts or interviews by email and Zoom to touch base with the comfort of Little House. Here are some of those:

In May, I was honored to be asked to participate in several interviews about Mother’s Day. One (above) was for a cover feature for Closer magazine, and another was for a feature for Channel Six - Central Kentucky Television (who posted the raw footage on YouTube that you can watch below).
