In 2005 a coworker and I were selected for a year-long fellowship sponsored by the Lilly Endowment called The Journey. It was a year of continuing education, networking, and renewal with other movers and shakers in youth work from around the state; and it was one of the best things I've done professionally. I learned a great deal there, and it was there I first met the amazing Marra.
Among the many things we learned at these retreats, Journey fellows learned that when we work hard to serve others, we also need to take time to renew ourselves. If we don't take time to do this, our work suffers, and so do we. So, dear readers, I invite you to enjoy all the comforts that winter can provide. In addition, however, I also wish to provide a moment for quiet contemplation and relaxation so that you can continue your day feeling more refreshed.
This moment of tranquility brought to you by Y-O-U!

Not that this has anything to do with this post, but I thought you might laugh to know that I FINALLY got what SAHM stands for. Yep, I'm not the sharpest sharpie.
I think I prefer a moment of tranquility brought to me by club med. *wink*
hmm, sahm. . . wth? school of architecture and hotel management? sour and hardworking mom? soft and happy men? shameful and hated monsters? surely around here matters? something about him matters?
Oh gosh, Lettie, those are MUCH better than 'stay at home mom'. I LOVE 'surely around here matters'!
