Happy Thanksgiving

Every Thanksgiving, I ask myself  “What am I thankful for?” And I come up with some lame corny things. But the truth is, I really am thankful: for my family, for my friends, for our health, that my family wants to eat what I cook, that they want to get together every year, that this year has gone by without any disasters in our lives, that despite the doom and [...]

How my son’s desire to run the NYC Marathon determined my worth – Part III

This is the final part of the story and it’s a significant ending of the series because if it weren’t for his epiphany, I wouldn’t have trekked up to a small farming community in Geneseo, NY, and I wouldn’t have discovered this small but important organization called the Genesee Valley Conservancy (GVC).

Ten things about myself…as promised.

I know. I slacked off. I was given two blogger awards by Life as we know it by Paula and LillyShayStyle about a month ago but I haven’t done anything with them yet. Why?
