Like everyone else I’ve been home for months but life has been very weird for me and our family. Before the coronavirus hit I was already in a funk or rather depressed and confused about my direction in life. I basically gave up my twig decor business to write Loving Tiara and once it was…

By ALIESE MUHONEN MAY 6, 20205 PM Twenty years ago, the Daily Pilot ran a story for Mother’s Day about Costa Mesa resident Tiffani Goff and her then 18-month-old daughter, Tiara.

As many of you know, Trinity my youngest daughter who will be eighteen in a few weeks has ADHD. She has been on medication since the fourth grade…
Are you scared of the coronavirus?
If this outbreak happened 6 years ago when Tiara was still alive, I would be absolutely terrified of the coronavirus. Truth be told I was terrified of every cold, flu, and virus that was “going around” throughout her life, especially influenza A and B. During the last years of Tiara’s life, she always struck with…
