Today's blog will be brief. As you can see from the lateness of the post, it's a busy day!
A few less bylined stories this week with the tight holiday deadlines.
However...
Each story has so much inspiration that one of them should uplift you, encourage you, or give you hope, if hope is what you need today.
Each story was a privilege for me to write. So, yes, I've been busy, but what an awesome busy to be. I don't take a single moment of it for granted. I'm blessed to hear these stories and grateful to pass the blessings onto you.
Non-bylined features:

Bringing good tidings of joy
Donating candy is also a great way for individuals who
aren't able to bake or volunteer on-site during the event participate, too,

Now, here's where to find information and after that, the stories.
Non-bylined features:
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works - brief posts and calendar listings - into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.
One can also find those event listings, the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."
Community news? Again, under the sections tab, under features, and by topic. Updates are posted on these days in print and web (and some only on web on other days as I have the time): Monday (pets), Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (arts and entertainment), and Sunday (people).
Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.

A weld and a prayer
Debra Horn turns a Romeoville welding school into a success
story
"I just care for people," Horn said. "I just
like people to be better. So when the opportunity came up, I was like, 'OK,
let's go for it.' I'm a firm believer that you only live once. I'd rather have
tried it and failed than not to have taken advantage of it and sat back and
wondered all these year what could have happened."
An Extraordinary Life: Joliet man was 'accepting of everyone'
“He never had a [Christmas] list,” Sister Ann Stoiber said of her brother Ray Stoiber. “He didn’t ask. He
didn’t want. He got along with a little and was content with a little.”
