Celebrating International Book Giving Day

February 15, 2016 By Claire Annette Noland 4 Comments

Celebrating International Book Giving Day

Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday and it has gotten even better because it is also International Book Giving Day. I can’t think of a better way for a book lover to celebrate than by giving books. There are many children who don’t have books or access to them. The purpose of International Book Giving Day […]

Yes! a little word with big possibilities

Yes! a little word with big possibilities

  For the past few years, I have chosen a word that seems to define the life I am living at a particular time. Or, perhaps I should say, a word finds me. My one little word in 2014 was celebrate. It was a year of celebration with our first born’s wedding, our 30th anniversary, […]

A list-less day

A list-less day

I am a list maker. I developed this habit at an early age. My mother wrote out a “to do” list every day and kept it by the calendar. I do the same. I have lists for groceries to buy, books to read, articles and stories to write, things to repair, and places to go. […]

It’s a Marvelous Night for a (Super) Moon Dance…

Field trips that can be taken near home often are the best ones. They are usually inexpensive and don’t require a lot of planning. Tomorrow night you can take the perfect field trip just by walking out your door and looking up. There will be a super moon lunar eclipse and that is reason to […]

The right word at the right time – encouragement

  Did you know that there is a National Day of Encouragement? Well, why not? There seems to be a holiday for everything. Words have power. The right word at the right time can help a person to continue a task, overcome an obstacle, or find the courage to try something new. On the other […]

There’s always room at the family table… a celebration

As I join fellow bloggers to Celebrate this Week, I want to celebrate the table where our family has shared not only meals but our hopes and dreams for the past forty years. When the time came to empty our childhood home, my brothers, sister, and I each chose something special to keep. The only thing […]
