THINK THEO started as a name of a podcast. I wanted to share the stories of grieving people like me. It quickly grew into a place of understanding — A place to read, listen, and understand that you are not alone. We are all grieving in different ways, but it is important to remember that My Grief is Not Like Yours.
Mesquites & Mosquitos
Summer is here.
The temperatures rise, and our sweat starts to fall.
The the sting of a scalding Texas summer returns, and we must endure (or go on vacation somewhere else).
“I hope there aren’t any mesquite trees in Heaven,” Daddy would jokingly say after shredding a pasture filled with them.
And then at night, “Mosquitos like me! When one gets on me, he yells to his buddies “‘Hey, over here!”
Of course, Daddy always complained about summer because of the heat, bugs, mesquites and mosquitos.
BUT, he loved the fruit and food summer brought - watermelons, cateloupe, black-eyed peas, squash, tomatoes, and anything the garden would grow! YUM!
I wrote a column years ago about things I am thankful for, specifically summer things - air conditioning, swimming pools, ice cream!
BUT, this summer I am thankful for the memory of it all and…
mesquites and mosquitos.

“Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve.” - Earl Grollman

I am going to the library today.
I have been invited to speak at the Nicholas P. Sims Library in Waxahachie, TX.
As I was going through some photos, I found these. It wasn’t just Daddy that did all the reading when my sister and I were growing up. It was Momma, too.
Books were extremely important to Daddy, especially the Bible. But as I look in these photos, I am reminded that Momma played an equal role in my love for books.
Momma would take us to the library when we were little so we could check out books during the summer. I will never forget the smell inside the library, it was comforting and warm. The smell was so strong it was like you were actually walking through an old book and each step turned to a new page.
Decades later, I returned to the library she once took us to write my book. Its familiar smells would take me back to the days Momma would hold my hand to go inside.
I can`t help but wonder if Momma always knew I would write a book one day. I`m just glad it was a book about her and Daddy. She would have loved that.
I am going to the library today.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
Mental health is one of the main themes of my book, “My Grief Is Not Like Yours.” It affects how we think, feel, and act. Taking care of our mental health is essential for overall well-being.
When dealing with grief:
be kind to yourself
don’t expect too much from yourself
don’t put pressure on yourself or your situation
if you can, talk to a professional counselor
look for any positive affirmations in your life!

Theo’s love for life encompasses the podcasts and shines through in her writing. I enjoyed both my interview on Theo’s podcast as well as listening to several of her episodes. We all need hope and to smile more. and Theo’s easy and charismatic way of introducing the guest, chatting and bantering with me and her other guests was so refreshing. If you are looking for a meaningful podcast or book to read – THINK THEO!
Theo first had a podcast with me as her guest and then did one with both Dale and me. I admit I was nervous, but Theo made me feel like I was having a
conversation with a good friend. I had a blast! Dale and I both enjoyed the podcast we did together. Theo is such a kind and beautiful woman inside and out!
I will be a fan…. and friend forever!
Theo’s life experiences have shaped her to give others hope during the process of grieving. My time with her on her podcast ThinkTheo helped me to learn how our lives are similar, but yet different in such a way that there is a bond like no other. I am grateful for her gift in helping others understanding that everyone’s grief is not the same, but yet our grief connects us all.

In your moments of grief, have you found a person who can understand you better than others?
After my Momma’s tragic passing, my Daddy found solace with his friend Mr. Fine. The most important thing you can do for a grieving person is to simply be there. It’s your support and caring presence that will help your loved one cope with the pain, and gradually begin to heal.
