Another month coming to a close - where or where does the time go? Another full moon and the celebration of the Chinese Moon Festival, which will actually be celebrated on October 4th this year. The weather in this part of the country has been gorgeous – make that Gorgeous…with a capital G! Nights in the 40s and days in the 70s and sunshine! All that clear sky means a good view of the moon and stars night after night after night.

“Someday”
Eleven years ago today, life as we knew it changed. Living in New York City on
that day, I felt as if I was watching a really bad movie and just wanted to
jump up and leave the theatre. But I couldn’t – it wasn’t just a horrible movie
– it was reality. In the days following September 11th I watched a
city rally and unite, each person doing whatever they could to help one
another. While sitting in the neighborhood fire station with Agatha, my Norwich
terrier, I watched as a young mom walked into the station with her small child.
I cried (because it’s what I do) as the mom explained that her child wanted to
help the kids of the firefighters who had lost their lives; and I watched the
youngster offer up his small piggy bank. It was in that moment that Kids Make
It Happen was born.
