Dorothy Flies Over Kansas

March 11th, 2014
Posted By:

If I live to be 92 years young, I hope I am as adventurous and free spirited as Dorothy Ellis!
She is fearless!
Dorothy was in hospice care when she told her family that she wanted to fly over her home in Kansas in a powered parachute that she had watched many times in the open sky as she gazed from her window.
Her family and her hospice nurse put their worries about her age and her health aside and to their credit they made Dorothy’s wish come true!  I love her reaction at the end of the flight!  Sadly, … Read More

Here is something to think about ~ You have to speak Your dream out loud.                ~ Kelly Corrigan To me the importance of this beautiful powerful thought is that when you speak your dream out loud, you start to make it real.  It’s the first step in owning your dream and part of owning it is making the dream and all of its possibilities yours so that it can become real. By talking about your dream out loud, you give your dream a place in your life and it becomes a real part of your life, instead of just a… Read More

Falling Can Make You Stronger

One of my sisters sent me the video posted below that’s about Moms and the endless, loving support they give their children.  In the case of this video, it shows Moms and their budding athletes in the beginning stages of learning their sports skills and then the years of repetition, the unending practice, practice, practice performed by the children until they reach the ultimate competition of the Olympics. It’s a wonderful video, tracing the path of infants and babies falling, getting back up, trying again and again, finally learning to ice skate, snowboard and ski so that they may perform … Read More

I am one of those old school people who still have a daily newspapers delivered to my house.  During the work week when I go outside to get the newspaper, it is dark and the moon and the stars are still shining in the sky. It’s a great time to collect my thoughts for the day. This morning I took a moment to stand still on the sidewalk, take a deep breath, and say a prayer of gratitude for a new day and whatever it might bring.  As I gazed at the quiet beauty of the moon hanging in the… Read More

Happy Friday Everyone!! It feels good to reach the end of a work week, especially when we have a three day week-end in front of us.  Most of us will not have to go to work on Monday since it is Inauguration Day, the day when President Obama is sworn into his second term in the White House. Whether you agree with President Obama’s politics or not, I think everyone would agree that it takes courage and perseverence to have a dream and then set goals necessary to try and make that dream happen. Big dreams or small dreams, I… Read More

Pauline Clark has got it goin’ on.Today’s post is about holding on to a dream that you know is good for your soul.  Pauline Clark is my inspiration today and she is featured in the story below that I read in the New York Daily News about how Pauline’s lifetime dream of dancing with the Rockettes finally came true. I think Pauline Clark, who is 87, has definitely heard about the idea of “use it or loose it” and has taken it to heart as a lifetime philosophy. The idea behind “use it or loose it” is essentially this:  if… Read More

Thought For The Day (With Thanks To The Silver Pen) www.silverpen.com Everyone should have a dream or two.  They can help motivate you and keep you moving forward. Sometimes you can have a dream for fun as in “If I ever hit the lottery, this is what I would do.”  I always say to myself that if I ever won the lottery or all of sudden inherited a lot of money, I would buy a house at the beach. Then, there are the everyday dreams you can have about your personal life or your work.  Try to be realistic and… Read More
