Carol Perkins: Writer finds new mission in life Carol delivers her first formal speech - and survives and says now, "Maybe I can become a motivational speaker and assure women my age they still have Miles to Go Before They Sleep. (Robert Frost)" Next earlier column: Carol Perkins: Walmart Episode - A Day in the Life of Carol By Carol Perkins Why was I so nervous? I spent my career talking, so why was I nervous about talking to a group of adults? I didn't know any of them, so if I didn't do well, I would likely never see them again. I agreed to speak at a monthly luncheon at the Medical Center in Bowling Green called Women in Charge. When I was approached back in August, the idea seemed a good one, although I had never given a speech. I had never talked to a group for forty-five minutes while they were eating. What was I going to say? Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2018-01-31 17:24:54 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins

I Witnessed a Story of Love Writer’s Note: At the request of Bobby Moore and his family, I am sharing this narrative and photograph. This story was never meant to be seen by anyone. It was written solely for my own healing and to digest the very poignant moment I had just experienced. As I watched Bobby with his wife, I knew I was privileged to share a moment that conveyed volumes of time. As a photojournalist, I know photographs such as this (below the story) capture verbs. It is a window into the event; a bearing witness, if you will. The Moore family have hope that publishing this piece will grant healing to others. - April Shepperd By April Yurcevic Shepperd Today, I witnessed a story of love. Not the type of love shared by young people who are half full of passion, topped off with hormones. It was not the type of dewy love experienced by newlyweds who are enthralled with the idea of exclusive devotion and the happily ever after. In such a world as ours, where vows are broken as quickly as the downing of a gavel, what I saw today was a rarity, a diamond exquisite in design. Today I saw a man, a broken man, standing vigil over his most prized possession. Here was love personified. When he walked into the room his steps were faulty, but his determination was undaunted. His eyes were fixed upon his destination at the front of the room. A steel grey casket sat under the colored lights. Half of its lid was propped open; the closed half held a spray of vivid, mix-matched flowers adorned with ribbons which read the words "wife" and "mother." Upon approaching and without pause, he leaned down and kissed her painted lips, his frail body trembling to keep upright.
