1) A good book: Few things feed one’s inner fire like a book that inspires and challenges us. As a continent dear to my heart, I read much about Africa, especially where it concerns her children. Melissa Fay Greene has written a brilliant book about Haregewoin Teferra, an Ethiopian widow who runs an unofficial orphanage for children left alone by the AIDS pandemic. It is not a comfortable read, but it is an important one. One small woman is making a huge difference in the world. What might we do?

I offer a few links to explore..my other blog has travel pics of Africa and an essay on AIDS orphans: http://theimaginativetraveler.blogspot.com/
Sherry Blue Sky's poetry/memoir site is definitely worth a visit:

Pixie, of 'Pixie's Pages', has a fun blog: http://pixiepages.blogspot.com/
And she offered a link to Rachel who posts a Happy List that inspired me to try my own take on the idea: http://blackeiffel.blogspot.com/

This is a wonderful idea Lynette. I am grateful for Joe my sweet hubs and for a darling daughter who I have spent a lovely day with today. For another chance at life and happiness that I never thought I would get that Joe has brought to me, to us. For improved health in the last year despite continuing chronic pain I am mobile.

Beautiful! Thank you so much, for your kind words and the mention, and even more so for this post, which reminds us to be grateful for the rich smorgasbord of life we have before us, a feast. Today?: a breeze, a quiet peaceful home, my two beloved dogs, our long friendship,and this wonderful community of new friends, right at our fingertips! Thank you for encouraging me to enter blogspot. It has enriched my life:) As have you, dear friend!
Two eyes for gathering all the beauty around me. Two legs to carry me to magnificent places I read about. One daughter, my best friend my comediane and my sounding board. A warm cozy home where I feel safe and secure.
Love this, my friend! I will have to pick up the book, it sounds interesting. Today, I'm grateful for a nap in the warm sun, my sweet family and friends coming over for a bbq!!!
