Success is just around the corner

The story goes something like this:  Stevie Nicks was starting to listen to her father's advice about quitting the band when she was young and before the band had become successful. She wrote this song. Soon after, they signed with a label and she never had to quit or give up her dream.

Dinosaur Diner



When my son, Shannon, was in first grade, I used to conduct what we called Dinosaur Diner with all the neighbor children.  It was where I taught them how to cook in such a fun way by naming all the foods and beverages by the grossest dinosaur-related terms we could think of.  Then we served the food to the parents in the Diner with menus and everything!  We had tomato juice that we called dinosaur blood and burgers that we called dinosaur scabs. Truly gross. Truly fun!

This is now one of the ways in which I wish to spend my time. I want to hold cooking classes for children. 

Going Places



"If it weren't for the rocks, the stream would have no song."  --Nicole Shapiro


Today I start another journey.  The past is irrelevant except that it gives me a beautiful song.  I have completed my goal and bucket lists which include my personal dreams of how to spend my time, wealth, health and purpose.

As a young woman, my hopes and dreams were plentiful and strong, but the years and my choices have worn them down.  Re-kindling them was simple, but not easy.  I now have the catalyst and vehicle to make them all come true.  My future is very bright, indeed.
