Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Wordless Wednesday (not really)...

I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. -- Maya Angelou

During this holiest of all weeks I am incredibly grateful for my sister, Jeryn. She is my best friend in the world. Those who know us well know that we call ourselves Tbecause we are more powerful together!

She goes out of her way to be there for me and for my family. She is kind, generous and thoughtful. I would not be the person that I am without her love and support. She thinks so highly of me that she makes me a better person.

She is traveling to Pittsburgh tomorrow to spend her Easter holiday with us even though she was just here for the baby's birthday two weeks ago. That's just one example of her selflessness. Below is my favorite photo of us. Enjoy!
