There really is some good left in the world ...

My mom sent me an amazing article and I thought that I would share it.  I love when I am reminded of just how much good there is.  So seldom do we get to read about happy things happening in our world.  Enjoy.

HELP!

I've been a follower of a lot of my friends' blogs for quite a while now.  I love hearing about their lives, seeing what's new with their kids, and just catching up via this amazing stuff we call technology.  To be quite honest, I'm a bit of a blog stalker ... but that's not what I need help with ...

I cannot figure out how to make my blog look more interesting!!!  And it's rather frustrating!  I pride myself in being somewhat technologically intelligent.  I know my way around a computer - whether it be a Mac or a PC.  I know my Excel formulas.  I can navigate the World Wide Web like no one else.  For some reason, this has me stumped!!!

So, you blogging friends out there ... HELP!  How do I put in pictures?  How do I set up links within a post (Liz)?  I'm so lost on this one!

New Adventures

It's a sad day.  I'm leaving my post with the kids.  I've spent the past two and (almost) a half years working with Karate Kids, and it's been a blast.  Frustrating at times.  Painful at times.  But always fun.  And I have built some amazing relationships - with the people I work with, as well as the 100+ families I get to see on almost a daily basis.  It's going to be really hard to walk away from all of those familiar faces.

But, so begins the next chapter of my life.  Just as unfamiliar and frightening as Karate Kids was in January of 2008, but I have just as much hope and confidence in this as I did in Karate Kids back then.  I am so excited to begin this new part of our adventure in LaLaLand - it's only going to get better from here.

I believe that these new adventures are going to breathe new life into us.  So, here goes this giant, awesome leap.  WHEEEEEEEE!!!!
