Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I have so much and am truly blessed with so many of those non-material things we take for granted. I embrace the notion of giving back as a way to connect with God, myself and others.
What I'd most like to receive:
a more constant state of peace and happiness

Cami, the founder of this site, is a dear, dear friend from way back when...
About me:
Born and raised in small-town Nebraska, currently living in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After 7 years in the legal profession and 6 years thereafter in corporate administration, I decided to stay home with my three lovely children. My task - raising them all into respectible citizens without having them returned defective:)

We've become THAT family

You know, the one on the street where the kids congregate. Along with preparing to host a couple of friends for an early dinner of his famous smoked ribs, Mike and I spent the day watching our kids along with a gaggle of the neighborhood kids run in and out of the house. It was a beautiful day and it was actually quite pleasant to peek at them out the window now and then, playing and running in the yard. I also spent some time helping Macy and her friend Emily make cupcakes which they then share… Continue

RIP Little Bird

In the spirit of "getting out of the house" today and with nothing much to do, I took a little trip to a local outdoor mall in our area that I haven't yet had a chance to peruse. I didn't really need anything, just to get away... alone. After getting a proper bra fitting at Vicoria's Secret (have been needing one of these forever!) and subjecting myself to the torture that is "eyebrow threading," I continued to stroll along, window shopping and day-dreaming.

As I turned a corner I had to stop s… Continue

The Tale of Charlie - an Unlikely Friendship Behind Bars

I was a part of a really awesome prison program called Bridges to Life for a year while I lived in Texas. During my time with that program, I grew in so many ways, but most of all, in my humanity. I still keep in contact with several men from the Beto Prison and have shared this challenge with them and many have taken me up on it. I'm sharing below an exerpt from a letter I have received from one such man, Ralph. In it, he shares quite b… Continue

Zumba 101

Yesterday I gave each one of my students a Zumba bracelet with a copy of the songs we've been using for the past 8 weeks. Really didn't feel like much to me but they were all SO EXCITED which made me feel really, really good:)

okay, I'll admit it...

It seems my posting here is quite random to say the least. Pretty much in line with my personality... I really have committed to this challenge, just have a random way of documenting them. So today my committment continues with the conscious knowledge that my posting is not perfect. So I'm off to teach a Zumba class this morning.

Dear Mollie, Nice to meet you! Thank you so very much for taking time to post to me. It means a lot to me to know you will pray for me. This journey has not been an easy one, but with the Lord's help and kind people as you and others who care, I will work hard to finish my last two projects. Thank you for your cheer. Sorry for some reason can't add you as a friend. Do you mind adding me? God Bless you Mollie.

I liked what you said about your students' reactions. Yes, sometimes we think what we do isn't that much but it is exactly what someone needs.

Thanks!

That was such an unselfish thing to do, to call your sister back. It is very disappointing when your hopes of all family being together on a holiday do not materialize. I wish you the most wonderful Thanksgiving with your husband and children. Ver...

Becky commented on Wendy Jo's blog post 'Day 21 - Kitty cat'
That is one lucky cat to have found someone who is as caring as you are. I bet he'll be back to his new "safe haven". Even if he will not be your forever friend, at least now, when he needs it the most, he has you for protection and caring thoughts.

Made space in my day to make two longish phone calls to people I care about. We can always make space for things we really care about.
