Have you had the experience of seeing new possibilities one day, when the day before they were nowhere in sight? That happened to me this week, through an entirely serendipitous circumstance. The thing that is amazing is that the pivotal point involved going out on a limb, taking a chance, risking.

Thursday mornings are Melanie and Grandma time this semester.
My favorite son-in-law (in case you’re not already in on the joke, he’s my only one, and always will be, since I have only one daughter) wears several hats and one of the current ones is student (final semester–yay!). So, in order to give him a nice [...]
