This is Suse Lowenstein. Top Story - February 2025.
Four years ago, I wrote of a time/circumstance that told of a very dark place of which I was going through...a transition that I had not wanted to experience. But sometimes, neither dread nor prayers can prevent that part of life.

1 Article Could Change Your Whole Life . Top Story - February 2025.
Yesterday, I spent two hours watching YouTube videos on creativity, and I stumbled upon a video featuring singer/songwriter/producer/composer, Marshia Ambrosius. If you don’t know who Marshia is; she’s one of the most successful British songwriters. She’s also written songs for Michael Jackson and many others.

Retired Colors. Top Story - February 2025.
I just ran across this news article about how Crayola was officially bringing back some "retired" crayons? Some thoughts immediately crossed my mind, like, "Really? Can crayons actually become retired?" "Did kids not like these colors?" "How did Crayola know this? Had pre-K teachers across the globe been consulted?" "Did being retired mean that nobody liked them anymore and they were no longer useful?"

Picture This. Top Story - January 2025.
Sometimes I wonder if they’re ever going to leave. It doesn’t feel like it. There’s always at least five or six of them dillydallying in front of the bulletproof glass, cameras in hand, ignoring the announcement that the museum’s closing. 'Just one more photo' they whine, or 'I’m going to remember this moment forever', something annoying like that. I never return their smiles, just jangle my keys and herd them towards the exit.

History Captured. Top Story - January 2025.
With the temperature projecting to dip between a steady 31 and 29 degrees, along with an 86% chance of wintry precipitation coming up on Thursday, January 9, 2025 and staying much the same on Friday (34-32 with 50 %,) then finally levelling off on Saturday with a high of 39 degrees and only a 24% chance of any other wetness...you will find all of us in north Louisiana bracing for "it." We can readily put up with the heat and humidity and the bugs, but none of us like the cold, the ice, or the snow much at all.

Art, and the Talent Within. Top Story - January 2025.
When I was in seventh grade, my English teacher Mrs. Simmons had our Fridays very carefully planned. It was the day that we would have our spelling and vocabulary tests, which I was always horrible with. But that Monday, as we got our study guides with our words for the week, she would give us the chance to get bonus points on our test. Every week, she would pick an art piece for the week. If we learned the name and who the artist was, it was easy points. Once the test was over, she would play classical music and while we wrote in journals, she would pass around a huge can of candy, where I would always rummage through until I found my favorite, a sour lemonhead.

Deconstructing Eden. Top Story - November 2024.
Welcome to art class. A harmonious atmosphere has as much to do with reasoning as any hope a person can give and if there is anything lingering more in a room full of twenty-something-year-olds it is that - hope. Just learning the curves of life, trepidation not yet counted can lend to that persuasion. A collective consciousness could be called that, in a way, a mirrored persuasiveness.
