Time to Break Up—and Let the Addictions Go

The holidays barely have time to breathe before they’re replaced—nearly stomped out—as retailers race toward the next sale. One celebration blends into the next until you’re not quite sure what season you’re in anymore. You didn’t imagine it. But one thing is certain, they play on your addictions. Addictions occur also

Making Peace with AI: Pros & Cons of Using Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Your Life, Career and Business


George Orwell did not have to recruit me. Nor convince me. I was in. I had gotten his message loud and clear the first time I read 1984. I knew what he wrote was not only plausible, but probable because it concerned man, and man was fallible. The Bible had already warned us of such […]

    Testimonials

    “Even from the beginning, it was apparent that beyond her steady reporting, she had a great feel for what was important in a story, and was particularly strong at shining a light on personalities, and could always be counted on to get to the deeper levels of the stories that people carry within them. ”
    James Edmunds

    JAMES EDMUNDS

    Founding Editor/Writer

    “There are many writers and editors who can competently put one word in front of another, but Ruth Foote is one of the rare writers who has a sense of the ‘soul’ of the story or article. Her wordcrafting ability, creativity, empathy, and intelligent wit was evident early-on — and has only sharpened since.”

    “Her stories are engaging, offering a unique perspective into the thoughts and emotions of the people she profiles. Knowing that you’re getting information from a reliable source that does not infuse its own political views, but reports the news and stories as it should is rare, but Ruth Foote is an exception…”

          As an award-winning journalist, historian, writer, and online entrepreneur, I’ve dedicated my life to sharing stories that shape our world. I believe in the power of words to convey dreams, ideas, and experiences. My journey as a writer began in an extraordinary childhood as an Army brat, experiencing the harmonious world Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., envisioned—a foundation that still informs my work today.

          After my family settled in my father's hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana, I later discovered a vibrant culture that inspired my passion for writing and community advocacy. I’ve channeled this passion into my work, from co-publishing Creole Magazine in the 1990s to authoring For Shakespeare's Stepchildren: 10 Essential Writing Tips and Techniques: Secrets of Successful Writers, available on Amazon now. And recently, I uploaded my thesis in book format, Just As Brutal But Without All the Fanfare: African American Students, Racism, and Defiance during the Desegregation of Southwestern Louisiana Institute, 1954-1964, which tells the inspirational story of the brave young men and women who desegregated the school, today known as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. It became the first higher education institution to desegregate in the Deep South.
