Who else wakes up feeling like they are still in dream mode? Am I waking up in 8th grade to get to my  beloved Kellogg School a mile down the road in one of the tiniest towns in CT and the only "Falls Village" in the United States of A-Miracle (May that be more so than not, Dear Loving Source of the Universe as we all pitch in and do out bit best we can with balance and elbow grease, kind words and deeds indeed!)

When I had to write my 8th grade essay for graduation in June of 1977 (yes 40 years ago but again, can feel like just a few years back) I woke up in the middle of the night, I think

After listening to an inspiring talk about how Jeff Goins got to the top of his game with blogging and writing, I wanted to share the enthusiasm of 'it's not a matter of if but when' one will succeed if you follow his program. The other nice perk from his program is there's a money back guarantee if you do the work and don't get 1000 email subscribers. That's starting a blog and getting up and runnin' fast..and feeling in sync with the process.

I had someone set this up for me (and thanks to all who've helped along the way in various ways.) My hope is to 'monetize' the blog in some respects

Here is my response to our friend and public personality in our small towns of CT who posted that as one commenter shared, #CancerSucks.That is shared in the spirit of digging deep into the miserable reality of anyone hearing the news, getting treatments that have their own side effects and impact, and then sadly for those succumbing to the illness which can seem merciless.

We could share in memory of those who died from it, and likely we could all come up with a list of our top ten people, and another ten and even more if we were in support groups or at events such as Relay For Life to

I would love to share more but hopefully one can look up video coverage online. The entire program was riveting and heartwarming even though the prospects of dire situations becoming the new normal were covered candidly by Representative Jeffries.( Thanks to Patrice Halloway who handily captured a nice photo op for me with Rep.

When Public High Schools Raise the Bar for Athletes to Have Good Grades, Some Teams May Be Dismantled...

The trend to set standards for athletes to maintain good grades to play sports is on the move in some areas..such as in a small town in CT which is regional school, serving six towns. I will wait to name the school..but this FB post was in response to the news that many players will be ineligible to continue playing their sports since new standards were put in place. There does not seem to have been enough input from teachers and parents (and coaches) to help people prepare for the outcome of such a policy taking effect under a new administration.
