I never wonder why I do my job.

This picture says it all…

Take an hour and listen.

Tell a few stories!

Relate – don’t judge!

I spent time with this young lady yesterday and she was so enlightening. She made fascinating connections in the LDS church theology.

She left me this gift..

Priceless

Again I am blessed with Nadine here at camp…

I have so much respect for all our veterans – our great country maintains world peace and prosperity – we need to do so much more for our Vets!

Sisters! It is a long story but the wonderful note left for me today was worth everything.

I must say – life is better thought through as a story. I learned storytelling from the Navajo elders. But thinking back to 7th grade, I was telling stories. I absolutely love telling a good story. People here at camp always ask “do you have a book or blog?” I always say – it is better in person.

I have been blessed with an extraordinary life – especially when I embellish. A story is just that…reading your audience and steering the emotion. I love humorous stories so I think that is why I enjoyed Native Americans. They know humor!

“Something big is about to happen to you”

“This message has no content.”- the irony!

These past days have been unseasonably cold. We built a fire the other night – Jake said dad I can see the fire reflected in your glasses give me your camera – and this is the result.

Jake headed back to school from 8am till 3pm. I miss the banter and company of my son. But that is another story.

Legs burn, knees with needles, keep pausing to catch my breath…I can’t keep up with a six year old.

Everyone said – oh it is so nice that you take your grandson riding. I smile and lovingly thank my neighbors. Everyone said “oh, he will keep you young!” Truer words…

It was so fun today – his chain kept falling off and he blamed China! At least it is from REI.
