Anu - He is beautiful. I love “dipping his bread in tea”…must remember to pass that on to my kid. I know I loved doing that as a kid growing up in India.

ChelleL - Happy Birthday! He’s such a handsome young man. I could have written that same list for my 7 year old boy — they love the same things.

Julie - What a gorgeous guy you have there! Love this portrait! Happy birthday to him!

Jane Eaton Hamilton - That is such a perfect image! Just beautiful. I love the likes, too.

alpana - aw, thanks for the comments and the wishes Anu, Michelle, Julie and Jane!

Anu, Nothing like toast with chai and dipping your bread in it!

I knew a man in college who grew up in the inner city of Chicago & what he was doing in Iowa I never did figure out. But whenever he would see a jet trailing across the sky, he would stop everything he was doing & he would watch. Once, after a jet was gone […]

Leah - I love this Alpana. IT’s beautiful. I’ll be sure to think of it often. My life would be so different without our group. It’s enriched because each person and child has touched me in different ways. Kathy once sent me a sign that says Praise The Lord and it’s hanging above my door. I think of her and remember to pray now and I won’t quit.

Shelly - Alpana, I too believe she will fight and if anyone can overcome such news it is Kathy. She IS a fighter and will fight as hard as she has to. Your words are very moving and I love the Story people message.

Lynda - That message is wonderful Alpana. Miracles do happen and I believe Kathy will be our miracle. Constant prayers for Kathy.

a green box to save the planet

Recently, while watching an episode of 20/20 I came across an amazing solution to reduce pizza box wastage. A pizza box that can double up as plates and also one that can function as storage for left-overs. Sheer genius it is! I hope the idea catches on and the major pizza chains start using it! […]
