I arrived at my parents farm last night to a huge branch broken from one of my apple trees. My Dad walked up as I was surveying the damage, “I don’t know if it was the wind, or just plain the weight of the apples. It’s just overloaded. I wish we could spread them out more from year to year
The Joy of YOU
I’ve been working with lots of people, ok women, lately, who are gifted as amazing, fantastic givers. They give to their spouses, their kids, their neighbors, their co-workers, their husband’s cousins, their community. Give, give, give, give, give. They’re wonderful…at giving!!

Do YOU have a Jack o lanterns Heart?
This is a newsletter from a few years ago. I still love the song, and all of its meaning. With all that we are surrounded by right now in the media, politics, world issues, etc. I think it’s a timely reminder to let our inner light shine!! Yes, it can be scary, but in the end, it certainly seems to

Rejection
Tuesday, 19 March 2013 Rejection Rejection So, we’re walking out of the Benedicta Arts Center and move past this sculpture in the entryway that is very appropriately named “Rejection”.
