On this 12 January 2014 in Decorah Iowa, it was freezing cold. The wind that blew into our faces left no escaping route. Even though the cold was so present in our minds, we were all determined to share in this day of remembrance and celebration of life. We wanted to shout out to those who departed in the Haiti earthquake. We needed them to know: Haiti 12 January 2010 - We remember. As we started singing in this cemetery filled of woods, I could not resist my tears. And very strangely, in the middle of my burst, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" of Robert Frost came floating upon my soul: "Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To ... read more

I am normally very private and respectful when using photographs. I struggle on ways to share respectfully the amazing time I was privilege to witness in Decorah last 11 January 2014. It was one of my best remembrance times ever. When you witness a moment like I just did; you want to share it with the world. Please see and discover for yourself. I felt so blessed and privileged to be there. My heartfelt thanks go to my sister and brother, Renee and Jon, for their leadership. Special kudos to both April and Judd for opening their heart and home and for letting us share in that moment. Precious … Haiti 12 January 2010 Earthquake, we remember. ... read more

Well as fate would have it, Wendy from Daisybeck Productions called today from the UK inviting David and I to be part of the filming during the week of July 11-17th. That would mean a 24 day wait instead of 3 more days. In yesterday's post I thought it would be best not to participate in order to stay focused. Today, when the call came in and I told my son he said, "Make sure you tell her we'll do it!" David was very disappointed when I told him we couldn't be involved with the show due to my summer school contract. But that's life. We'll still have the same incredible camp experience without the cameras. Earlier in the day I heard from a fellow teacher and friend, Ruth Nelson. I was so excited after I ... read more

Hello to all my wonderful Meta Balance supporters, family, and friends! I've decided to journal in this travel blog as a way to keep in touch with everyone and to document our memories on this exciting journey! In 4 short days I look forward to flying out to Wellspring Family Camp with our son, David. We are both hoping to transform our thoughts and actions by soaking up all we can. Recently, when Mr. Gordon (Wellspring's Chief Marketer) requested my permission via email to be interviewed as a potential candidate for a 1-hr. Style Network special program I figured "Why not?" My son, David, was excited about the possibility as well, so I agreed to speak to a lady named Wendy. On Tuesday, I received a phone call at 9:15 am from a gracious interviewer named ... read more
