He wasn't there. Simply heartbreaking to lose everything in the hurricane, including your dog. There are about 400 dogs, 100 cats here waiting to be reunited with owners. They need volunteers to help with the pets too. (Register at www.bestfriends.org.) They also need bedding donated for the kennels. On Oct. 14, the animals, including this beautiful female boxer, will be put up for adoption if they haven't been reunited.

Even connecting a sweet, stray dog in my neighborhood with Rescued Pets Movement warms my heart. He had a tight chain around his neck and was very shy. The group sent a volunteer trapper this morning who got him off the street and removed the awful chain. He'll be examined and neutered and if he's not claimed, he'll get a forever home in Austin.

So much of the city is flooded, homes are destroyed, lives lost, people homeless. Tonight, I found a little ounce of joy. I was assigned to cover a team ofhairstylists and barbers who generously donated their time and talent to do hair for those in shelter. So beautiful to see men, women and kids who have lost everything have a moment of joy with a hair cut or new style. Also great to know there are now only about 2,500 in the shelter, down from 10,000 earlier this week.

In 1945, Betty Mohr posed for an ad that ran in Seventeen magazine. Now at 88 and suffering from Alzheimer's and dying from breast cancer, she returns in front of the camera to recreate the moment in time. Click here to read the story. There are 5 million people in the nation with Alzheimer's and 2/3 are women. Awful disease. "Even if they've lost their memory, they can still experience joy. She might not remember the event, but she can remember the feeling and the sense of value."

That's sort of why I went into the newspaper industry, though many of my TV friends try to steer me their way. Don't know if it's maturity or simply living a more joyful life, I don't have much fear any more In fact, I actually enjoy being in front of the camera. It's a different way to tell a story, to share inspiration and maybe make someone's day, even if you're hot as hell in Galveston. It was fun.

One pulled Prince's front paw through the gate and was trying to rip it off. In my efforts to free Prince, I got bit deeply while Ava was running frantically in circles. It happened so fast. Dogs were screaming. Lots of blood. We're all at the ER. Traumatic. The pits belong to someone in the neighborhood. I'll be filing a police report.Not how I wanted to start my day. But it could have been worse. JOY LESSON: Just because you're living more joyfully doesn't mean there won't be bad days.

Few actually impress me because, frankly, celebrities have the means and the time to stay in shape and smell good. Actor Morris Chestnut was different. He talked about eating fast food, getting fat and not taking care of his body. I can relate. I was always the 'fit girl,' who tried all of the classes and got her friends hyped about a new fitness routine. In the last few years, I've lost my fitness mojo, or motivation. Blame it on being overworked, overstressed and somewhat lazy. In 2013, while filming the Showtime series "Nurse Jackie" in New York, Morris says he was "in the worst shape" ever, weighing some 220 pounds. He spent his off-time eating - pizza, Chinese food with fried won tons, chocolate chip cookies and his favorite breakfast meal, which included toast with butter and strawberry jam and waffles with whip cream, syrup and strawberries. Here's what Morris said getting in shape: "The hardest part was getting disciplined," he said. "It's always going to be challenging to make healthy choices. However, what I've discovered is that the more disciplined I am with my diet, the easier it is to stick with the lifestyle." JOY LESSON: Quit whining and do the work. It pays off. http://www.joysewing.com/yearofjoy/2017/9/20/who-run-the-world-girls monthly 0.5 2017-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56fbc4c2859fd09c8a950036/1505943640913-LFVIKJA7YRZBJ4WOL2HE/18194629_10210711616079368_8979026436853672917_n.jpg #YearOfJoy - Who run the world? Girls!! She was called the "World's Ugliest Woman," in a video that went viral (people can be so cruel). But Lizzie Velasquez, who has a rare disease, turned the hate into a platform to empower young girls with kindness.

I had planned on driving my 2002 Nissan Xterra until the wheels fell off, and they literally did. I had also convinced myself that because I hadn't had a raise in a decade and because I wasn't where I wanted to be in my life, that some how I didn't deserve to ride in style, or at least with AC. Yes, the AC in the Xterra went out last summer. But I finally did it. I bought a car - a 2010 Lexus RX350. It's exactly what I wanted and the price I wanted to pay. Simply buying a car changed my life. It got me out of poverty thinking (journalists are really good at that) and opened my eyes to opportunities to really grow and make more money. It gave me confidence. I can valet without worry. I can show up at an event, a speaking engagement, at church and feel like I belong. I'm worthy. Thank you to the sweet couple who drove it from San Antonio to my front door, complete with a bottle of champagne in the back seat. #yearofjoy http://www.joysewing.com/yearofjoy/2017/9/20/sharing-some-life-lessons-with-students monthly 0.5 2017-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56fbc4c2859fd09c8a950036/1505944122999-VFG6XFUJH4TFJO5TAH38/18010152_10210618200704042_3859683811545342028_n.jpg #YearOfJoy - Sharing some life lessons with students I spoke to some wonderful communications students at Texas Southern University, received a sweet "thank you" email from one of the students immediately after and then got a free meal at Chick-fil-A for being the 100th customer! #yearofjoy http://www.joysewing.com/yearofjoy/2017/4/17/misty-copeland-talk-about-her-joy monthly 0.5 2017-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56fbc4c2859fd09c8a950036/1505940018954-VMZ1GPCNTDY564ME5Y6E/920x920.jpg #YearOfJoy - Misty Copeland talks about her joy You can't talk about Misty Copeland without mentioning her body. Those chiseled legs, sculpted arms and abs. Of course, the superstar ballerina is more than her body - she's become an advocate for the art form and an inspiration for girls of color who want to become ballet dancers. This was my second time interviewing Misty. This time, I got to ask what brings her joy: "Too many things. Performing, being with family and so many small and amazing things." http://www.joysewing.com/yearofjoy/2017/9/20/the-little-things monthly 0.5 2017-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56fbc4c2859fd09c8a950036/1505939282667-2F6TYKINWQ7TW3MDTQQN/17553963_10210395929587403_2305837204449776191_n.jpg #YearOfJoy - The little things My day off.

He is the Houston Chronicle photographer who shot more than 800 images of my #YearOfJoy Holiday Ice Skating Party and gave them all to me. I think he enjoyed the party as much as the children. There are no words to describe the feeling of seeing someone near death, but in that moment, it becomes very clear that life is precious, and it's our duty to live every day with joy. #yearofjoy http://www.joysewing.com/yearofjoy/2017/9/20/walking-in-my-purpose monthly 0.5 2017-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56fbc4c2859fd09c8a950036/1505938632643-8OX59RPI6SE84RX3COC0/16681765_10210017400484412_4134754664757150132_n.jpg #YearOfJoy - Walking in my purpose Walking in my purpose.

Travel some place new. Visit a friend. Prior to this, I usually hid under the covers and hoped no one noticed I was a year older. I stopped counting my years on this Earth long ago so the thought of celebrating seemed a bit depressing. Oh what a difference a Year of Joy makes. I'm celebrating my birthday with no shame. It's a gift to see another day, live another life and celebrate joy. This year, I visited my girlfriend Stacy in the Bay Area. We hiked five miles at Muir Woods National Monument, laughed a lot and ate great food.

I know for some of you that’s not a big thing. But before this trip, there existed in the world only one photo of me in a bikini. It was taken when I was 24 years old.

But by the time I landed, the weather was crisp, and the skies were blue. Mother Nature had a change of heart. It was a nostalgic trip since I attended Colorado College, a small liberal arts school near downtown Colorado Springs. This time, my visit was recreational, not educational. I was headed to Garden of the Gods Resort and Club, a private club founded in 1951 at the foot of the Garden of the Gods Park, with its natural red-rock formations and spectacular views of Pikes Peak.

Alas. Traveling with large dogs is nothing like having a cute little pooch you pop into a tote bag. Everything is super-sized, from the bed to the poop. So when I scheduled a few book events in San Antonio recently, I challenged myself with the task of a road trip with my dogs. Well, actually just one — I figured two would be too much for a first road trip, so I took sociable Ava while more introverted Prince remained in Houston in the comfy confines of a local pet spa.

Like me, they were enjoying the view: a glimmering bay accented with towering skyscrapers reflecting the sunset. The sweet scent of flowers filled the air.

I had visited Oahu with my brother in 2013 on a bucket-list trip that included swimming with dolphins, hiking the infamous Diamond Head volcanic cone and a road trip to the North Shore, at the suggestion of fashion designer Tory Burch. It was wonderful. But I never imagined Hawaii would call me back to its calm, blue waters and relaxing beaches.

I arrived in San Diego to crisp blue skies, a subtle warm breeze and humidity so slight that taking a deep breath felt pure and invigorating. Two sun-tanned young men greeted me at the airport wearing big smiles and aviator sunglasses. "Is this your first time to Cal-A-Vie?" one of them asked, referring to the luxury health spa owned by Houstonians Terri and John Havens. "You'll love it. It's like heaven." I had heard that from other Houstonians who had visited and returned rested, recharged and even spiritually awakened. They described it as a French chateau in Southern California where everyone speaks English, eats farm-fresh food, explores every imaginable fitness option and gets pampered with spa treatments. Now, I was about to see what the fuss is all about. Would I find my own nirvana over the course of a brief visit?

Photo by Joy Sewing) The "N word" was not something I expected to hear while I lived in Mexico. A middle-aged man shouted the racial slur from a moving car as I and several other journalists — another African-American woman and a Puerto Rican man — left a restaurant in Cuernavaca. The verbal assault took my breath away. In a country where I had grown to identify with its rich, colorful culture and brown faces, I was slapped with a racial insult, and I was stunned. I spent more than five months in Mexico on a National Press Foundation fellowship to study Spanish. During that time, as I struggled to improve my language skills, I also tried to understand how racism could exist there. "There's no racism in here Mexico," I was told frequently by teachers and friends. Economics, they said, was the issue. The poorer you are, the worse life is.

So, ironically, the idea of girls' trip to New Orleans, where the good times always roll, seemed much more tame. A short flight (or five-hour drive) from Houston, followed by a few days of fabulous food, creative cocktails and fun? Perfect. Reconnaissance was needed.

Photo by Oahu Tourism). HONOLULU - The Hawaiian waters off Oahu's leeward coastline were the deepest blue I had seen. The rich, dense waves gently stroked the sides of the boat and carried us some miles away. We had set out for a day of snorkeling, but I grew uneasy as we continued traveling to what seemed to be the middle of the ocean. Looking out into the blue abyss, I tried to muster up my courage to jump in. I lost the nerve. But Armin Cullins, the boat's captain and owner of the Wild Side Specialty Tours (sailhawaii.com), didn't judge me. Instead, he offered assurance that I would still get amazing views of the Hawaiian spinner dolphins, which we came to see. My brother, Jon, looked at the water with consternation as well. Nevertheless, he suited up with a life preserver and goggles. "I guess I have to take one for the team," he said, before reluctantly sliding into the water with the rest of the group.

Photo by Joy Sewing) JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA — The auditorium of the Soweto YMCA, where Faithways Community Church holds its weekly services, was cold and drafty but filled with a congregation bundled for warmth. As if a spirit moved across the massive room, voices of the parishioners, mostly women, swelled into a high-pitch shrill — an African call of excitement. On this winter day, more than 40 members of Houston’s Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, including the Rev. Marcus D. Cosby and his wife, Audrey, were in attendance for a Sunday morning service. (The seasons are opposite in South Africa, so while it was cold there the summer sun was baking in Houston.) The delegation made its way down the main aisle. Some received gentle handshakes; others were greeted with soft, comforting words from the Soweto congregation: “Welcome home,” they said.

Its presence seems peculiar given the historically strained relations the United States has with Cuba. It was one of things I noticed when I arrived. I was one of six black journalists visiting Cuba to examine racism in the country on a fellowship sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Journalism Studies. The Institute, which is housed at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, N.C., was founded by USA Today columnist and veteran journalist DeWayne Wickham, who has traveled to Cuba for more than a decade and has developed a network of Cuban journalists he now calls friends. Our goal was to interview key players in the areas of art, culture, journalism and politics to discuss the issue of racism, something that is rarely talked about in this country.

It was a gradual process that, in a way, had been formulating since she was a little girl. The second-grade teacher at North Belt Elementary in Humble had always struggled with her hair, which was naturally "kinky" and deemed "bad," in certain societal constructs. She had her first hair relaxer at age 5 and had been wearing hair extensions and weaves since the first grade. "All I wanted was to go to school with straight hair, so as an adult investing in hair weaves and spending an absurd amount of money on hair was my validation," she said.

It was his first time on ice skates. He wobbled back and forth before finding a moment of steadiness. "I'm 5. I never done this before," he blurted, then smiled widely at me, as if he had mastered a kindergarten life skill, like tying shoes. "Thanks, lady. This is the best day of my life." Then he wobbled off in a hurry to take to the ice. The boy was one of 60 area children who attended the #YearOfJoy Holiday Ice Skating Party at the ICE powered by Green Mountain Energy at Discovery Green last December. My idea was to share the experience of ice skating, a sport I grew up competing in, with children who might never have the opportunity to try it. It also was my first effort to give back in a big way.

Houston Chronicle Third Ward is my home. Some would call it a “bad” neighborhood — one of Houston’s tragedies, a place of crime, poverty and sad stories. The “Tre,” as we natives say, is a predominately Black neighborhood just south of downtown and east of the Museum District. Despite the stereotypes that often come with inner-city Black neighborhoods, Third Ward is also home to some of the city’s most noted and greatest African-American artists, activists, educators and leaders. Black communities rarely get much credit for being great, though.

That’s one of the more ridiculous things the world whispered to me as I set off on the journey to become an adoptive mother more than a decade ago. But I didn’t have time for negative comments; adoption was always in my life’s view. The truth is, though, I never wanted to birth a child. I learned not to talk about it because the judgment could be harsh. People can be mean.

When their teacher called their names, each stood in front of the microphone, poised for the afternoon spelling bee. This is Black Girl Magic School, a pandemic-spurred learning pod created by Nwamaka Unaka in her four-bedroom home off Almeda Road.

Lawson: Old friends share memories of 1960s Houston, civil rights fight The Rev. William Lawson held my father’s hand as they prayed and talked about marching together with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I’ve heard my father tell many stories of his youth, but somehow I missed that one. King visited Houston several times during the 1960s and, on his last visit in October 1967, he drew nearly 5,000 people to the Sam Houston Coliseum. Six months later, King was assassinated. My father isn’t really the protesting type. Richard Sewing is an architectural engineer and businessman who focused on working hard. His form of social justice meant getting his education, making money on his own terms and taking care of his family.
