An e-mail came from a lady who I immediately knew was a complete sweetheart…”I found you through a friend on Facebook and I have a birthday coming up. My kids are coming in town and I would love to have our photos taken by you.” Within the first two e-mails we exchanged I knew this was going to be a “special family.” In fact, Kathy mentioned that the thing they all 4 had most in common was a sarcastic sense of humor. I was pretty sure that I was going to love them…and I was right! I mean…after all, I usually am right…just ask my husband. ;-)

Birthday For A Month
March 18, 2010Blog Winners In Vegas
March 16, 2010When I decided to run the Pay It Forward contest I was so excited about who I might have the chance to meet in Vegas. It was so random and who knew who would actually win and what their story would be. As if it wasn’t great enough to meet so many new people at WPPI it was even more amazing to have one on one time with these beautiful ladies! We chatted and shared many laughs…it truly is amazing how far apart we can be but how close the internet makes us. Wendy (CA), Grace (Malaysia) and Loni (South Dakota)…it was awesome to meet each of you ladies and learn a little something about you. I do hope that we will stay in touch over time and that we will get another opportunity to catch up again at WPPI 2011.
Unexpected Treasure
March 12, 2010I got an unexpected treasure in the mail last week. A tiny brown box that housed a very special gift. I had no idea what to expect as I folded back each of the 4 sides. Inside was a coffee mug…not just any coffee mug…my Father’s coffee mug. It was a gift that I given him many, many years ago for his birthday. Dawn (my step Mom) says that he drank out of it almost everyday. I couldn’t wait until the next morning to brew my coffee. As I sat holding that mug filled with warmth in my hands, I felt like my Dad was touching me.
