Wednesday’s Child: Jahyyah is a True Survivor

May 18, 2022

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family.

LAST WEEK IN IPHONE PHOTOS | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2011.

May 12, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2011.   I think it’s been more than a week since I purged the iphone photos.  I’m a wee bit behind on blogging.

THE WEEZER SHOW | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2011.

May 5, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2011. I got back from Mighty Summit yesterday and I’m in the midst of unpacking (literally and figuratively).  It was an incredible weekend that I hope to write about more in detail, once I’ve had the chance to reconnect with the kids, upload my photos, and dig myself out of a serious email black hole.  For now, I’m posting pictures of our big night out with the boys at the Weezer show last week. I was thrilled to see Weezer . . .
