Celebrating*
The aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, Canon Rebel Xti
Some things I am celebrating today:
Ben finally back to his old hilarious self.
This community for all of your support, empathy and kindness. Thank you!
Seeing the fabulous Karen Walrond (friend and superhero) on Oprah on Monday with her superhero necklace on!
Picture Hope settling at Number One! in the Name Your Dream assignment. This is SO exciting you guys! Thank you to everyone who voted.
These things make me so happy.
....and this photo....beeeeeeeeeeeutiful
Posted by: Leslie at April 9, 2009 06:44 PMThat *IS* an awesome celebration list.
By the way, when I saw Karen last in Houston, we talked about her necklace and the love in her eyes when she talked about you was very special.

Posted by: cynthia gunsinger at April 8, 2009 06:22 PMOh I'm so glad Ben is feeling better... and I just happened to randomly turn on the TV while running at the gym--right when Karen was talking on Oprah and I immediately saw she was wearing your gorgeous SUPERHERO necklace. Lovely!
Posted by: christina at April 8, 2009 06:07 PMWow, you deserve to celebrate ~yay~
What a horrific day you and your Ben had. Thank God you were there! And thank God for your superhero mom strength.
P.S. I voted for HOPE.
I constantly admire my sister Tracey's necklace, it is wonderful! I am going to buy one for myself for my birthday.(Do I have to wait till July? sigh~)

Posted by: HappyHourMom at April 8, 2009 05:54 PMI THOUGHT that was a superhero necklace! It looked so great with her outfit too! Yay! Congrats!
Posted by: Megan at April 8, 2009 05:16 PMWhat a beautiful photo of the kids at the aquarium! It puts me in a state of hopes and dreams. It would make an absolutely *amazing* desktop wallpaper, too. Would you consider placing a large download file of this on your site for personal use? It would totally inspire me each and every day!
Posted by: Jules at April 8, 2009 04:38 PMThat video made me cry!! It was so fun... thank you! And I'm glad to hear Ben (and you?) are feeling better. I've heard it said that coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous - sounds like She was offering His guiding hand that day! xox
Posted by: jag at April 8, 2009 04:07 PMJust checking in, caught up after a few days away from reading. Oh my my.
I am simply sending big fat love.
you know, I innocently clicked on that video and watched for a minute before I just started sobbing. i'm so grateful for that you linked us!
Posted by: Brené at April 8, 2009 01:28 PMMy grandma-in-law just told me about that train station video yesterday. I had happy-tears in my eyes the whole time! I love stuff like that too.
Posted by: rachel at April 8, 2009 01:18 PMA friend just forwarded the "Sound of Music" video. I smiled the whole time. The children especially warmed my heart and gave me hope for a bright future! Yippee on the Superhero Necklace sighting!!!!!
Posted by: Puanani at April 8, 2009 12:57 PMTWO superhero necklaces. One in the pre-recorded bit, and another one live. I did a lot of squeeling for you. Congratulations :)
Posted by: Meg at April 8, 2009 12:09 PMI did see her wearing her necklace...actually, did she have two different ones ? It seemed like one of the shots of her, if I remember right, was from an earlier time and both times I saw the necklace, but it looked different in color....
soooo cool !
i watched this show and was stoked to see karen wearing her superhero necklace!
hooray!
