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.

Looking forward to Spring!

During the pandemic, when we were all sequestered, my only outlet was connecting with friends, family and followers via social media. I got in the habit of posting something every day as I managed the stress of it all with exercise and social media posts. 

Fortunately, life has relaxed somewhat. Indeed, the stress of homeschooling has been replaced with the stress of transporting children to school and various activities. And the ease of my morning workouts has been replaced by the pressures of appearing in the office. 

Still, I rise...

I also look forward to the day when these frigid temperatures subside and are replaced with the warm, balmy days of Spring. Until they are, this photo will help me remember!
