On March 3, 2021, I took this photo of Tres meeting for the first time, my client of over a year who had, from our interview meeting in late 2019, included O'Rio Grande in things.

Holiday Grief

I've been spending a bit of time talking and communicating with people who I know in my own community or who are part of the Lumigrate team getting things done which you'll see or hear on the website in the near future.  It seems that many people are having overall a cheerful holiday season but they are also feeling a sense of loss.   read more »

Food Allergies - Our Experiences

I'm establishing two areas about food allergies for now, this one and "Food Allergy Cooking - Recipes" (so please deposit recipes in THAT area).  This is intended as a place for those of us who have found our way to learning about food allergies to talk about it.  How did we figure it out?  How do we deal with it?  And then if we have a recipe, say 'I'll put that recipe for air cake over there in the "Food Allergy Cooking - Recipes" section here at Lumigrate.com.  (Grins).     read more »
