·        My writing will still appear regularly in The Plain Dealer even though I voluntarily took the layoff. i hope my decision helped save a job for someone else and will give me more time to write books & see my grandbabies. My heart hurts for my colleagues who lost their jobs today. I wish them all the best.

Regina Brett Thanks for all the well wishes. I will continue to write regularly for The Plain Dealer so I hope you will still follow me there, as well as here and on my blog at www.reginabrett.com
