Caregiving Adventures: A Tale of Love and Laughter with Mom with Author Mark Steven Porro

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Mark Steven Porro, author of the book A Cup of Tea on the Commode. Mark Steven Porro, a New Jersey native (Exit 163), earned an Industrial Design degree from The Ohio State University. After years of agency work, his love of acting led him to Hollywood, where he appeared in dozens of television, film, and stage productions. Mark also spent his twenty-eight years in Tinseltown, entrepreneuring. He started five non-profit companies. But hold the applause, none were intended to be. He now lives in the South of France. But hold your pity. He of sound mind and body chose to suffer in the heart of wine country where the locals insist his French isn't so bad—at least that's what he thinks they're saying.   Mark is an award-winning designer, writer, director, and now a best-selling, award-winning author. He has written lots of jokes, several screenplays, and one award-winning short film. A Cup of Tea on the Commode—a sad, sweet, and funny debut memoir—chronicles his multitasking adventures of filling his mother's last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.   In my book review, I stated A Cup of Tea on the Commode is a memoir about his time as a caregiver for his ailing mother. Porro takes readers on a real-life journey complete with personal childhood memories, funny anecdotes, and poignant details about his time as a caregiver.   What I loved most is Porro's honesty. Being a caregiver is difficult. As a caregiver, he did his best but sometimes, his best and his family's best, led to not-so-great outcomes. Yet, overall, caring for his mom was something he wouldn't have wanted to miss because it gave him precious time with someone he loved dearly.   As a caregiver, I related completely. However, this book will touch more than caregivers. It will resonate with anyone who has a relationship with a parent - good or difficult - and provide the reader with new ways to look at aging.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Mark Steven Porro Website: https://acupofteaonthecommode.org FB: @teaonthe IG: @ a_cup_of_tea_on_the_commode X: @ teaonthe LinkedIn: @Mark Porro   Purchase A Cup of Tea on the Commode on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4e3TwJt Ebook: https://amzn.to/3A5kEdm   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   #markstevenporro #acupofteaonthecommode #memoir #terimbrownauthor #authorpodcast #onlineforauthors #characterdriven #researchjunkie #awardwinningauthor #podcasthost #podcast #readerpodcast #bookpodcast #writerpodcast #author #books #goodreads #bookclub #fiction #writer #bookreview *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Il aurait été contraint de faire assassiner son cadet qui, raconte-t-il, s'apprêtait à le trahir. Comment cette fratrie en est-elle arrivée là ? Pour le comprendre, il faut remonter le temps et s'intéresser à la prise de pouvoir de Septime Sévère, leur père, au crépuscule du Ier siècle. A la mort de l'empereur Commode, ce Libyen s'impose à la pourpre après un long épisode de guerre civile. Il prépare alors ses fils à prendre sa succession. Mais ces derniers se vouent une haine sans limites. Quelques mois à peine après la mort de Septime Sévère, ils vont mettre leur héritage en danger.

Commentaire de l'évangile SELON SAINT luc - 12, 54-59 En ce temps-là, Jésus disait aux foules : « Quand vous voyez un nuage monter au couchant, vous dites aussitôt qu'il va pleuvoir, et c'est ce qui arrive. Et quand vous voyez souffler le vent du sud, vous dites qu'il fera une chaleur torride, et cela arrive. Hypocrites ! Vous savez interpréter l'aspect de la terre et du ciel ; mais ce moment-ci, pourquoi ne savez-vous pas l'interpréter ? Et pourquoi aussi ne jugez-vous pas par vous-mêmes ce qui est juste ? Ainsi, quand tu vas avec ton adversaire devant le magistrat, pendant que tu es en chemin mets tout en œuvre pour t'arranger avec lui, afin d'éviter qu'il ne te traîne devant le juge, que le juge ne te livre à l'huissier, et que l'huissier ne te jette en prison. Je te le dis : tu n'en sortiras pas avant d'avoir payé jusqu'au dernier centime. » Fr. Paul Adrien d'Hardemare (op)  L'Amour Vaincra !Et l'aventure continue ! retrouvez : les vidéos sur

A Cup of Tea on the Commode: My Multi-Tasking Adventures of Caring for Mom. And How I Survived to Tell the Tale by Mark Steven Porro https://amzn.to/3RgU1rN Mark enjoyed his carefree bachelor's life in Los Angeles. He had no steady girlfriend, no children, few responsibilities outside of work. But that all changed when “The Call” came. Genevieve, his eighty-nine-year-old mother, was on her deathbed. He rushed back to New Jersey to be by her side. Hours became days, days became weeks, then she woke up. So, he moved back into his childhood home and took over her care. His first task was to remove all hazards, which included the current caregivers. After, Mark asked his mother, “Do you trust me?” She whispered, “Yes.” “Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?” She smiled and nodded. “That means I'm in charge, and that means now you must obey me.” Her mood shifted in an instant. She looked him dead in the eye, then puckered up her lips. He wasn't sure if this was a sign of surrender or one wishing him luck. He kissed her and hoped for the best. The parent/child role reversal may not have been unique to Mark, but how he dealt with it was. One day, hoping to make Genevieve's time on the commode a tad more pleasant, he offered her a cup of her favorite beverage. It was a hit, and a cup of tea on the commode became a staple on the morning menu, and the clear choice for the title of this intimate, funny, and heartwarming memoir of how eldercare can be done. A Cup of Tea on the Commode chronicles Mark's multitasking adventures of filling his mother's last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.About the Author “This author weaves his stories together, employing a wickedly humorous skill not unlike that of David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs” Mark Steven Porro, a New Jersey native (Exit 163), holds an Industrial Design degree from The Ohio State University.

[Rediffusion] Notre représentation de l'histoire est très souvent liée à des œuvres de fictions. Mais le cinéma, tout comme la littérature, prend des libertés avec notre passé. Tout en respectant un verni historique, le spectateur ou le lecteur est assez rapidement confronté à des raccourcis, des simplifications voire des erreurs historiques. Un des exemples les plus emblématiques de ces vingt dernières années est sans nul doute le personnage de Commode. Nous avons tous en tête l'image de cet empereur, qui dans le film de Ridley Scott Gladiator, défie le Général Maximus Decimus, en trichant dans le fameux cirque romain. Storiavoce vous propose de partir à la découverte de ce personnage énigmatique. Qui était le fils de Marc Aurèle et de Faustine la Jeune ? Mais aussi qui était sa sœur Lucilla admirablement interprétée dans le film par Connie Nielsen ? Est-ce que d'ailleurs Maximus a existé, tout comme les conjurations des sénateurs ? L'invité : Spécialiste de la Rome antique, Éric Teyssier est maître de conférences à l'université de Nîmes, où il dirige le département d'histoire. Il a publié le livre référence sur les gladiateurs, La Mort en face. Le dossier gladiateurs, ainsi que des biographies particulièrement remarquées : Spartacus et Pompée. Il a aussi publié aux Editions Perrin une biographie de Commode (380 pages, 23€).
