 It is good to have friends! and to have their support for your work!

When writing my chapter, "The 5 As to Authenticty" for the anthology, "The Missing Piece: A Transformational Journey, I had no idea of who I might ask to write recommendations. When I received word that my colleagues of Unite Women.org had placed the book on their recommendation list, I was very happy. It was totally unexpected and veru much appreciated!


"The amazing souls within this book have come together to share their amazing stories with the world. They are all living proof that there is life after traumatic events and that you can find those missing pieces you need to move forward again in life."                                      --Jan, Unite Women Florida

Recognition is not the outcome that motivates me to write, it is my hope that when I write about my experiences, it may be lessen the isolation one feels when going through a traumatic situation! When I realize I am NOT alone, somehow it makes it easier to understand and move forward.

Having friends who offer assistance, such as this recommendation, is a beautiful thing! it gives me motivation to keep moving forward, too!  We all need a little support, now and then, including #1 International Best Selling Authors!!

DebraSeS: Loss of a loved one

Dear Mrs. Gertrude Plooster Adams; You were the Best Auntie ever... Some of the things I am remembering about you on your last day on Earth:  summer visits with you (and my Uncle & Cousins): you got me, because you needed some girl time after living with Uncle Babe & 3 sons! I remember you telling me, "... you sure like to read! always got your nose in a book..." homemade ice cream : one of your favorites was peach, you really loved peach walnut!  sewing: Auntie, you were not much of a seamstress...I recall witnessing your  finger  running right under the needle in the machine! You & my my mom were always cutting up Uncle Babe's & my dad, Leo's old clothes to make more for the 4 boys!  food: Oh my gosh, we had so many picnics & family dinners (about 15 of us) together - holidays especially but they were not required! All of us women were cooking and talking while snacking, and the dads were watching sports on T...

Welcome to My World!! a world filled with "Missing Pieces"

Hello, and welcome to the world according to Debra!  You will find me to be an amusing  & witty antidote to whatever you think about people like me - ummmm, what is that exactly???? I am an outgoing, outspoken, direct, honest (even if its hurts) kind of person.  I think that is why I have lots of nicknames... here are a few of my favorites:  "Shameless Agitator"    "The Question Girl"   "Purply"   "Feminist" "Ada Patada" "Boss Little" "Shorty" "Adams Apple" I love to talk. I love my family (ALL of them!).  I love my friends. I love to travel. I love to meet new people. I love to learn about cultures, including my own. I love to read. I love to take naps.  I LOVE chocolate. I am motivated by my grandchildren - eight, so far! I am inspired by my beautiful children - four, plus their significant others! I am passionate about my work - intervening, eliminatin...

My Wild and Whacky Week

Yes, it has been that kind of week! for me, at least..... As an activist / advocate / radio show host / speaker / author, it has been jam packed with events and causes and issues! Last Monday, I put on my Program Director and Co-founder hat for the National Women's Coalition Against Violence and Exploitation to attend a meeting with a group of volunteers who may possibly select our nonprofit as the beneficiary of their fundraising event!  That was exciting because we have not found a 'niche' event to become our annual event. I found it invigorating to answer their questions and absorb their enthusiasm, too. What a great way to start off the week. Tuesday is my radio show... named " Debra SeS " on Bold Radio Station on Tuesdays at 5:30 pm PST . I always look forward to meeting the guest and the sharing of information we exchange. Guess what? My guest was a "no show." Goodness, what is a girl to do?  Well, the show must go on, you know, so...
