Short and sweet...

I went to get one of my new RR students yesterday.  This is only the 2nd time we have worked together.  When we left the classroom and headed down the hall I said, "Happy Valentine's Day!"  She got a shocked look on her face and replied, "Oh, no!  I forgot you were my teacher!  I got my other two teachers a Valentine, but I forgot you!"  :-)

"It's okay," I replied through my empathetic grin.  And I thought to myself, if only the adults in our lives thought of others first, what a different world this would be.  I LOVE working with kids!  I LOVE the perspective they bring to each new day.  And I LOVE that they LOVE me!

Have a great night!  And Happy (belated) Valentine's Day! (Tequila Reserva, 1800 Anejo)

These shoes were made for walkin'

These shoes were made for walkin'
Breast cancer sucks!  Fortunately, I don't know this first-hand.  UNFORTUNATELY, I do know this second-hand.  I know two beautiful ladies that have been stricken with this ruthless disease.  Breast Cancer does not discriminate.  It is not choosy.  It cares not whom it ravages.  But I care.  And I'm sure you care, too!

My husband and I decided to do our part.  We are walkers.  We (until about 6 weeks ago) usually walk 3-6 miles per day, 4 days per week.  Lately, though, we hit a snag.  A 'life' snag.  We got busy, and we got lazy.  Now, though, we have some motivation.  The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.  What a great cause, and what a great way to get back into the groove!

Tonight, after a 6 week hiatus, we laced up our sneakers and hit the road.  We only did two miles...but still, it felt great.  And now we have a purpose.  A passion.  Their names are Di and Kristen.

Consider joining our team.  Consider doing your part.  Let's beat this thing!

For more information please visit our site and consider a donation.  Or better yet, join our team and walk with us!
