The work I do….
Sometimes for work we talk about great ideas…. like this one. I’m so happy to work at a place that fosters creativity and compassion, as we work to help kids! 12 Days of Miracles
Dance
Good morning, 2014!
I must say, 2013 was a good year. Honestly, there was some inevitability of that happening… the previous year was probably the worst year of my life. This time last year I was still pushing onward with faith but uncertainty, and probably not tons of happiness. This New Year, I am so Read more…

poetry
I feel like I suppose I will just do that
My good friend Meridith recently shared a blog post that is a poem of thoughts generated by this nifty app, What Would I Say? I read a tiny bit of her poem, checked out the app, and am happy to present the following. I’m sure I’ll find more to add….P.S. – the Read more…
