How to:

This morning I watched a brilliant sunrise with my children in the car. I had to pull over to take a snap. In my heart of hearts I know that they too will pause to appreciate the grandeur in everyday beauty.

After goodbyes, kisses and “Have a great day”s, I drove home as the glorious fog rolled in, gently blanketing all in her path. I had to pull over again at one of my favorite, most unsuspecting, fabulous image spots.

As I drove through, thoughts of this life and all the blessing bestowed upon me filled my head.

At home I laughed with my husband in this big empty house. I thought, “What a sweet life this is!”

Sheer pride and joy filled my heart as I learned my little sister passed her real estate final. At the same time a tug at that same heart…Another teacher broken by our failing education system,  what a shame.

Moments later I receive a text from, who our foundation donated some funds to help with his toddler son’s battle with cancer.  He’d just lost his brother unexpectedly and the wake is to be held at St. Rafael’s. My brother’s name was Rafael and they were college buddies annnnnnnnnnnd I just burst into tears. After losing my brother and understanding that deep pain that comes from losing a subling. I sympathize to my core for all those who’ve lost loved ones. His son still battles his cancer and I sit here wondering HOW? How do people survive such suffering. We all stronger than we’ll ever know!
My Bestie received a proclamation today stating the 2nd of Dec from this day until the end of days will  be her day. Yeah!
