Oh how I wish I could have one of these,

but for now I'm buried in books!

How you doing (in my Wendy Williams voice)? 

Giving Thanks.

"Thankful Crown," E.K.F - November 21, 2011

As Thanksgiving day approaches there are a number of things that I am thankful for among them are a great network of friends and a supportive family. Apparently, my son is thankful for the light on his train - as pictured in the crown about made at school (which we just realized had a light on it a week ago after owning the train for over a year). Although my son is three, I did make him aware that there are other things to be thankful for.  Afterwards he told me he was thankful for his family...his train light, and Elmo.

I pray that everyone has a meaningful and great Thanksgiving no matter how they celebrate the holiday.
Let's remember to be thankful for the blessings that are bestowed upon us 356 days a year (even the ones we think aren't good) and not just on the day that's set aside for celebrating.

+++What are you thankful for this year? How have you shown your gratitude in the past year?+++

When I started counting my blessings,

my whole life turned around.

I'm loving this print I designed! Why do I love it? It's inspiration - Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman" Poem. Here's a sample of the 4th verse (my favorite):

Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.  
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.  
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,  
The bend of my hair,  
the palm of my hand,  
The need for my care.  
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
