Winter Wheat

As I think back on the events of this week, I'm reminded of a quote by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who was part of the women's movement and one of my all-time favorite people in history.  In my mind, it applies to the circumstances we find ourselves in this week.  I found comfort in these words and they definitely resonated with my feelings as I tried to find the silver lining in my true sadness about the election.  She said, "“We are sowing winter wheat, which the coming spring will see sprout and which other hands than ours will reap and enjoy.”

Have a good weekend, everyone.

A Quick Post

Just a quick post to tell my readers that I'm going out of town next weekend, so I will not be blogging next Friday.  Thanks to all who read my posts and my latest article for The Capabilities magazine.  As you know, your support means a lot!

Have a good two weeks!

Celebrate With Me

I just realized I haven't posted here for over a month.  My bad!  With the fabulous advent of a new computer and busy days, time seems to have gotten away from me.  Needless to say, this week has especially been uplifting because the first article that I wrote for the Capabilities magazine (Central Penn Parent) was published!  As a writer,nothing compares to seeing your name in print.  I must say the outpouring of support and plaudits are overwhelming!  I re-posting it in my blog in case those who haven't read my article can.  Feel free to comment. 

Have a fabulous weekend, everyone!

Back to Reality

Hi All,

Please excuse my lack of blogging over these past few weeks.  These “lazy, crazy days of summer” have gotten away from me, I think.  The month of July was a busy one!   I’m still working out kinks of my new computer, but it is wonderful all the same.  Of course, I made my yearly pilgrimage to the beach a few weeks ago and then made a quick trip to New York last week.  Both were really great times.  Whew, I think I’m still trying to catch my breath! 

All in all, this has been a great summer for me so far, filled with laughter and good times.  I can only hope that yours is as bright as mine.  I think I’m done being a world traveler for now.  I’m back, folks!

See you next week.

Motivation at its Finest

Here’s a news clip that will warm your heart and motivate your soul.  Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Let's Dream

This is an awesome blog.  Although I’m not a parent myself, I recognize the ability to a change due to a child’s introduction into their parent’s lives.  Let’s dream “past (our) own walls!”  Food for thought on this holiday weekend!

An Inspiring Tale

Here’s an inspiring story about a father-son team who are amazing.  I especially like the line, “You have the ability to do something special and its up to you to make that become a reality," Now, that’s something to think about!

Have a good weekend, everyone.
