Selfie: Journey of a Woman Writer, by Cecilia Brainard at Miriam College QC, Philippines

Dear Readers,
I've been down with the flu and have not been able to blog. I've been able to post in Facebook and Instagram.

Here's a Selfie taken after the talk I gave at Miriam College, Quezon City, Philippines, last February 5, 2018. Titled "Journey of a Woman Writer," my PowerPoint Presentation, talk, and discussion was attended by some 400 students and teachers.

Now that I'm better I promise to get back to blogging. Please stay tuned!
