Welcome to The Cooling Board Blogs!

The time has come for my sophomore effort! Some of you may not be familiar with my debut Promises Made, Promises Kept (www.tamaragrant.com) which I self- published.

Things went well enough that I will be published this time around by Peace in the Storm Publishing! God is good all the time!

So I sat down and tried to figure out what I could write about next. Families and people are intriguing to me so I took a real life experience and decided to write about it.

My mom passed away (way too early I migh add) in 2006 from Leukemia. Everyone knows that when a family member passes away, that's one of the times when family gets back together, and it's not always pretty when they do.

I got to talking to people about my experience when my mom passed and was able to laugh at some of the things that went on, not because it was comical, but just the irony in the fact that other people had stories of family members who just acted a pure fool at the funeral or at the reading of the will, etc.

Thus, The Cooling Board was born. It's a story of family, love, life, and death. All of those things that happen to all of us in life, but we may not talk about what's really going on.

I want you to read the blogs, post comments, talk about your experiences. The Cooling Board Blogs are a place to share and hopefully a place of healing for my readers! Post as much as you want, Comment as much as you need to.

Peace!

Tamara
