I sat down to clear the CLUTTER from my desk but Sammie jumped up and is now laying across the CLUTTER. He's too cute too move so the CLUTTER will have to wait.
Ammon is 17 today. Karamea's post is a perfect description of the elation he brings to me soul. Ammon was born in the evening of a very hot August day. It had been a long hot summer, no a/c. I was so ready to give birth. When the doctor saw his head appear he said, "I see hair on this baby." Same doctor and 3 previous bald babies. I don't know who was more excited to see hair...me or the doc. Happy birthday babe! I love you!
Yesterday I finished Three Cups of Tea. Right now I want to start back at page one and read it all over again. Greg Mortensen is my hero. I want to meet him! I want to mentor him! I want to provide schools for children of poverty. "More than 145 million of the world's children are deprived of education due to poverty, exploitation, slavery, gender discrimination, religious extremism, and corrupt governments." Reading Three Cups of Tea has been an unforgetable adventure. One day I will find a way to bring education to children who are without.
This week I started on a new escapade...Leadership Dixie. This begins the process of learning about the place where I live. Ten years in St. George and now I will gain new insight. The mission of Leadership Dixie is to "Engage, Inform and Empower" future leaders. Maybe I will learn the skills to build the schools I want to build.
I am one month into my "partime" job at CMI. I have learned that we are starting from no where. There is so much to do. Marketing, Public Relations, Promotions, Sales and only two of us in the department. Partime? Maybe they should rethink the scenario.
And so...it's Saturday. Soccer season starts in a couple of weeks. I am enjoying this quiet morning while I can.
