February 2009 ArchivesMy dancing shoes hit the floor Saturday night to raise money for the Independence Center. The Independence Center offers programs and services to adults in the St. Louis metropolitan area with "serious and persistent mental illnesses to live and work in the community, independently and with dignity". For several months, I practiced my salsa routine with instructor and dance partner, Alex. Alex is one of the instructors at Just... For those of you who followed my blogs about the disappearance of 16 year-old Cassandra Jones, I am relieved to report that she came home.

When teenagers disappear, authorities often discover them with a boyfriend or gir... Family, friends, and police are searching for 16 year-old Cassandra Jones. Cassandra disappeared Monday. She was reportedly last seen around 6:25 a.m., getting on the school bus. That is how the story unfolded on our 10:00 p.m. newscast February 12. The headlines are often filled with troubling stories about children. Earlier this week, we reported the tragedy of Joseph Schoolfield, a three year-old Jefferson County boy who died last month. Joseph's mother and her boyfriend are accused of abusing him. Late last year, Joseph was taken from his mother and placed in state custody, but a judge decided to send him back home. Not long after, the child died. Ther... Thank you so much for the abundance of goodwill you have shown Dwayne and me. Your generosity will be remembered for years to come. May God bless you and your loved ones. ... Some of my best decisions have been made quickly. Recently, I made one I will honor until my last breath. I married Dwayne Butler. A friend introduced us.
