How Busy is TOO Busy?
How busy is too busy? When do we admit to ourselves that we are doing too much and we have far too much on our plates. When we have a sick child we have no choice as to how much we can handle. We reach out or try to reach out for help, but being […]
Delivering Hope
I have almost completed the delivering of all the books that were donated to charitable organizations from my event in the beginning of March. It is a job to get all the books mailed or hand deliver them to everyone but is well worth the effort! When they arrive, each organization will then plan either […]
A Welcomed Volunteer
I recently went to a conference at CHOP, the Volunteer Leadership Summit, and brought along one of my volunteers for a wonderful experience.

Another Survivor

Depending on Someone
Everyone needs someone, it’s true. And whether you are a caretaker, living alone, an ill person, or just feeling a bit down and truly all by yourself, take a moment or two to think: There has to be someone, somewhere, who for whatever reason would stand by your side to help you make decisions, get […]

The weather was perfect, having rained all morning and clearing by mid afternoon, the temperatures were mild and their was no wind. Guests began arriving just before 6:30 for the cocktail hour dressed very nice […]
A New Experience
I had an appointment with a dog whisperer the other day because we are trying to conquer some fears that our little dog has been experiencing for a while.
