July 4th Reflection
Nothing like being American and celebrating July 4th with friends and family! I appreciate all we have here in the USA and on days like the 4th, I am reminded of how proud I am to be who I am. There is so much turmoil in this world, and even in this country, but when […]
The Heat
I cannot believe the heat wave was so bad through June. Our first heat wave came in May, I think, and it was difficult to get through. You want to stay in the house and keep the air running. Going out just to water the flowers is an effort and keeping up with the heat is a […]
Ronald McDonald House-A Success!
On Friday night, we did a dinner at the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey and had a wonderful time. The food was wonderful and the guests of the RMH were so nice and very appreciative. We had some of our areas favorite restaurants donate food to help make this dinner a success. A special THANK YOU […]
Very Exciting
A few days ago when I opened our newspaper, it was exciting to see that a local girl won Miss New Jersey. I have been friends, both personally and through business, with her older brother for years and I am certain that he and the entire family are bubbling over with pride and excitement over […]
Clean Bill of Health
Due to my experience in the hospital, the surgeon decided to do another MRI to check things out. This particular one covered my pelvis and abdomen and took about 1-1/2 hours (not fun). This was to take an extensive look at exactly what is going on inside, making certain nothing was missed. Well, the good news is…I can […]

For some reason, it may go hand in hand with being sick or just months of being exposed to hospital beds, surgeries, tests, and such, along with the ongoing forever “waiting”. Yes, I said waiting. Waiting for results, waiting for appointments, waiting […]
How Do YOU Give Back?
On June 29th, the volunteers from The Alesia Shute Foundation will be getting together to bring dinner up to the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey. This is one of our favorite outings and we look forward to dining and meeting all the families who will be staying there that week. Although it is a Friday, and some families […]
I Need Your Help
Most of you know I was recently hospitalized with a bowel obstruction and I need your help! I am almost 100% and am just about able to do everything I did before I became ill, but something is missing. I still tire halfway through the day and am lucky enough that most of the time […]
Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey
It is that time of year that we love with my foundation!
Shamong Rotary
I spoke at a Rotary dinner last evening and although the group was small, they were very interested in what I had to share with them. When I speak to small groups at dinners I like to share who I am and all that I do. It is a bit different than my regular speaking engagements, […]
