The Stories that Bind Us–A Must Read

In my internet wanderings this morning, I ran across this article about the importance of knowing our family history. Today, more than ever, family stories are being lost. Many times, we find that the younger generation is too busy carving out an income for their own family to sit and ask Grandma or Grandpa about […]

What does Family Mean to You?

Mom is officially 92 years young today, actually 92 years and one day. I had great plans for her birthday. The menu had been set several weeks prior to the grandoccasion by the birthday girl herself—sloppy joes, hot dogs, potato salad and applesauce. The entertainment afterward promised to rock Mom’s socks off. The African Children’s […]

Best Day Yet!

Another busy day in Warancha and the surrounding area of Awassa. The children greeted us with a song and game as we walked onto the field. They were so excited to see us again. We taught them songs and in return, they sang for us. We played “Minute to Win It,” passed life savers on […]

From Addis Ababa to Warancha!

Selam New. Greetings. How are you? So let me back track to Thursday morning when we landed in Addis Ababa. I had not slept on the 16-hour flight, much to my dismay. Our guide and translator, Alex, and his driver, picked up our 7-member team and 14 suitcases along with all our carryon and went […]

Ethiopia: Here I am!

What an experience today! We didn’t have internet access yesterday, so eventually I will go back and recap what we did, but today takes the cake (we’re having fun with our guides and American expressions)! We left the Providence Guest House in Addis Ababa at 7 AM after coffee and warm banana bread made by […]

Lessons Learned from a Great Lady

There are those few people who really touch us in life, who make an impact on our outlook. I wrote a while back about the three nonagenarians who have taught me so much in life—my mom, my Aunt Ruth and my Aunt Ilene. And now, my Aunt Ilene is gone. In her 90 years, she […]

Oh, That Special Moment

Can you pinpoint that one moment in your life—that one you can immediately jump back to and say, “That was my happiest moment”? Mine was at the birth of Aaron, our first-born son. I had come to believe that I would never have children—two miscarriages from my failed marriage twelve years earlier was proof of […]

The Perfect Career for Me

Throughout life, my question has been the same: “What do I want to do when I grow up?” And now that I am all grown up, I am still asking the same question. I started out as a teacher, became a door-to-door encyclopedia saleslady, then decided head-hunter was for me. I stopped questioning for a […]

A Tribute to Mom

Mother’s Day 2012. A time to reflect on what Mom means to me. Just the word Mom means love. But it’s an active word and comes in many forms. Winters back home in Pennsylvania were so bad that at times we had to walk on top of 4-foot drifts to get to the bus—and I […]

My Sister Loves Me

My dear sister, Virginia, loves me. She has—ever since my mom brought me home from the hospital. Throughout our younger years, Virginia led me in the right way—according to her  plans for me. Maybe it’s because she could boss me and I just thought she was so pretty and smart that I would do anything […]
