About
Biography:
Annette Bridges, born in Chamblee, Georgia, was the youngest in her family and the only girl with three brothers. All her years have been spent in the south except for college years in Illinois. With a B.A. degree in sociology and graduate studies in early childhood education, she worked as an educator in public schools until becoming a home schooling mom. She has also worked in various social service and community organizations. Writing aspirations began as a young child with journal keeping. But she would not be published until she became an empty nester when her daughter left for college.

Annette doesn't think her insights are any more special than yours. But she does believe we help each other by sharing what we've experienced, learned and discovered with one another.

Her columns are published weekly on United Press International’s ReligionAndSpirituality.com, Examiner.com and numerous other websites, newspapers and magazines.

Perhaps we’ve all thrown one of these at least once in our lives. Maybe we know some folks who throw one every day. My favorite occasion for a pity party is when I’m feeling unappreciated and misunderstood.
