The Books are here!!

I wanted to let everyone who donated to the school via Hands Across the Sea that the new books and arts supplies have arrived at the school!

It was quite an exciting day for all of us. I will be posting pictures and videos soon.

We are still in the process of working out a few minor details within our library center (i.e. library cards, a few more shelves). Once this is complete we intend to hold a special ceremony to present the new material to the students and parents. The goal is for the teachers, students and parents  to recommit to care and upkeep of the library and new material.

Again, thank you for all of your support. Pictures and thank you notes coming soon :)

...with that said, cooking is more fun when there is someone else to enjoy the meal with.

...we create our reality which is largely defined by our perception of our experiences

...I plucked another gray hair today *sigh*

... in life the RESTART button works wonders (try it!)

...I will be home to visit  in less than a month (big big smile)

...Silence is as essential as sound, listening and speaking with your heart takes practice
