I paid an outrageous sum...

...for this brick to be cast and placed on a beloved walkway.

It was my mantra and message of hope after 9-11.

I still try to think like this.

Gift from my husband...

We were leaving the cabin to go to town. He suddenly disappeared and then reappeared on the passenger side of the car. He was holding something behind his back and asked if I wanted it now or later, but added that it was two of my favorite things together. Then he thrust it towards me and announced "...a  nest AND moss!!! "

Photos just do not do this jewel justice!

Words to My Colleagues....

May our love for each other resemble her love for us.

May our paths be likened to her path.

May our actions encourage, challenge and empower.

May we mirror her grace.

May the memory of who she was inspire us.

May everything we do,

especially in this place,

honor her.
