Dorothy A DayDorothy Ainsworth Day believes if a bumblebee can fly when it is aerodynamically incapable of flight she can write when it is physically impossible to do nothing on her own. But even when she thinks she is doing the work, she has a tribe supporting hr efforts. She has degrees from Copiah-Lincoln Community College, Wesson, Mississippi, and Mississippi College, Clinton, Mississippi; formerly she was a licensed teacher of high school English and French and a licensed marriage and family therapist. She and her caregiver/husband Charles laugh at the cute antics of Dempsey, a miniature Aussie (1/8) Schnoodle (3/8 poodle, 1/2 Schnauzer), attend church, and roll through life together. They discuss their legacy writing, and plan together how to tell Lady's story. Lady was their Bitsa rescue from a shelter (bits of wolf, shepherd, collie, and more). Although Dot wrote poetry or rhyming verses in the first grade, there is no proof it existed. She worked to get her students to enjoy the process of writing and later her four grandchildren to relish the processes of drawing and painting ("Benches, swings, table prepare you for owning a home or get you ready for a career!"). Dot had a variety of jobs, but her life was working for her family as wife, mother, mother-in-law, daughter, daughter-in-law, and as grandmother. Although she might have embarrassed family members sometimes, her over-arching goal was and is to love and honor Jesus. Dot was sidelined from her careers and chaired from the independence of driving by IBM. Yes, IBM - Inclusion Body Myositis, a late-onset muscular dystrophy of unknown origin and no treatment. She looked to writing to live out her purposes. She accumulated the stories of others for her first published book, Memories of a Sharecropper's Family. Her second effort, aided by the formidable Barbara Gaddy, resulted in the retelling of ordinary events touched with the handprints of God - Ordinary Miracles. It was an anthology, as is Battles: Glimpses of Truth. Read More Read Less
