Slide Colleen Kelly Mellor Writes to Inspire

Storyteller and humorist, rocked by significant life crises, Colleen Kelly Mellor spins her message of hope and resilience.

Memories of a Milltown Girl

“Memories of a Milltown Girl” documents my growing up years in a town that produced successful folks, whether blue collar or those entering the professions. We products of that town saw the value of hard work; we were raised on that ethic.

“Memories” also delves into my adult years, the experiences which flow from the beginning years. Many are funny…others reflect historically important events…most are inspiring. I hope you’ll share your own memories, thus adding to the fabric of our collective experience.

In her own words, Colleen says: “If my millworking ancestors wove fabric, I weave words.”

Heroes

“Heroes,” by definition are people who inspire others. They can be young (Greta Thunberg with her climate change activism) or older, like Mother Theresa, tending to the poor, in the disease-plagued streets of Calcutta. But these are surely the extremes. Many others have no national or international following but do the quiet work of leading every day. I like to focus on these people. But heroes can be in the realm of teaching…medicine…volunteerism, activism, etc. They walk among us.

In an era of negativity, I believe it’s all the more important to shine a spotlight on the heroes among us and the work they do. With that, here are two military heroes.
