Rocky Mountain High
When I first started working from home, my biggest dream, besides not leaving Emily in daycare, was that I thought it would be so cool to be able to have a 100% portable business.
Back in 2001, laptops and mini’s weren’t quite the rage. On the contrary, about the only portable computer at the time was IBM’s Thinkpad and it was big bucks. Back then, many of us were still on dial-up and AOL while waiting for DSL lines to come into the neighborhood.
Emily’s Bikeathon
School fundraisers can be a big issue for many schools, especially private schools that count on and can account for, every single penny they take in during the school year.
Rather than the typical wrapping paper and popcorn, which most parents wind up taking to work to sell, Emily’s school has a really cool fundraiser, which is a bikeathon.
The bikeathon really gets the kids and parents involved and it is a lot of fun. The kids can bike, roller-blade, walk or run and parents, family members and anyone can pledge either a flat donation or a donation per lap.
Pink Ribbon Memories and Cards for a Cure
Pink Ribbon Memories
There isn’t a person I know that hasn’t been touched by breast cancer in some way.
My dear friend, Toni, who had been one of my closest friends from junior high, was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of 1997 at the young age of 37.
The letter she sent me is still tucked away in a special place in my Bible. She just couldn’t bring herself to call me on the phone to tell me.
My grandmother was on in years when she found out. My mother’s cousin AND her daughter both fought and won!
