A New Beginning

It all began with and idea, hundreds of them, constantly running through my head.

I have always been an “idea” person. I never had any trouble contributing ideas for projects over the period of my life. I have, however, had a problem with bringing the ideas to fruition.

So, what do I have in my head?? Books! Paintings! Lifestyles! Experiments! Dances! Sewing! Crocheting! Being a hermit, who lives deep in the woods in a special location (in my brain) and reading all of the books that I have wanted to read and writing the ones that I have stuck inside me. I know…it sounds a little crazy.

My ideas until this point have been just that. As a young mother, I was occupied by three little ones that kept me busy with all of the things: diapers, meals, illnesses, breaks, school, etc. And, YES, we also had more than our share of wonderful meals, parties, friends, wandering, playing, and creating. I eventually gained two more children through marriage and finally, a sixth that wrapped up my family perfectly! Now, the six have moved on and given me, so far, nine amazing grandchildren.

Now, my brain still wanders. It still desires to adventure and to dream. I am still entirely filled with ideas. The difference is that this time, I will find the time to apply to bringing my visions to fruition!

I have begun with this blog, this website and with all of the things that will follow. I hope that you will join me in celebrating my ideas and my efforts which benefit children in a way that brings light to their natural ability to be amazing.

Let’s begin with the most valued citizens in our population, children!
