Storytellers and Snacks

3/3/2012

It’s been a whirlwind of activity since the new year began. I feel like Prince Dee in “The Tenth Floor”. I guess I feel like passing out. I must admit I’ve been having fun though. Watching kids attack the new set of books like rabid creatures is awesome. It reminds me of my purpose.

I’ve also been fortunate to connect with a plethora of wonderful children’s authors. I encounter whimsical tales on a a daily basis and my “to read” list grows by the day.

Healthy minds and healthy bodies. I’ve spoken often about the Papa Didos million mile relay. I’ve received lots of feedback and of course there are always the naysayers. There are plenty of people that see obstacles. Once again I see possibility. I do believe in planning but I also believe there is a time to act. It’s often said that we stand in the way of our own success. That, of course, is if we are afraid to take the steps. Plenty is unknown. I control nothing but my own thoughts and actions. This year I will continue stepping and heading towards my goal...
