Howdy Folks and Good Day!
When you think about those you admire, whether real life or fictional heroes,
what is it you really like about them?
Is it their compassion, kindness and loving energy?
Is it their wisdom, knowledge and ability to problem solve?
What about their creativity, flare or thinking outside of the box?
Maybe it’s their perseverance, strength and determination…
Whatever it is you admire about them, do a quick check-in to see if you have these qualities within yourself. If so, please acknowledge them – and acknowledge you. You just found something really good to like about who you are.
If you don’t have the same qualities you admire in them, what can you do to develop them?
I love what motivational speaker and business guru Brian
Tracy says… You can learn anything you need to become anyone you want to be.
At least that’s how I remember it! The exact wording isn’t as important as the message. We tend to give up our dreams or the things we desire because we don’t already have the knowledge or skill to do them yet. The truth is, we don’t need to. We can simply learn them.
Just like we can learn to be compassionate, kind and loving. Or wise, knowledgeable, problem solvers. We can develop our creativity, flare and ability to think outside the box. And persevere, developing strength and determination. Or any other quality we deem worthy of our admiration so we not only admire others, but can feel good about ourselves as well.
Here’s to all the heroes in our world – and everything they’ve learned as well as taught us.
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

Share Your
Heroine
The TRUTH, I'm 10, I'm Smart and
I Know Everything!
Tell us about your heroine --- the female lead in your book.
The heroine in THE TRUTH, I'm Ten, I'm Smart and I Know Everything! is a ten-year old girl. She is funny, wise, honest and she really does know the truth about most things.
What's her name?
Her name is never mentioned in the book, which is her diary over a two year period.
Why did you pick that
name?
Not giving her a name makes it easy to identify with her. She is really all of us, once, when we were young.
Give us a brief
description of how she looks.
She has light brown hair and hazel eyes. She is certain that she would be very pretty if she could wear make-up. Her mother won't let her. She has a space between her two front teeth.
Is there anything
unusual about her appearance?
No-except that she is growing fast and keeps getting taller while the boy she is in love with keeps getting shorter.
Who does she love?
Why?
She loves Paul. She doesn't know why. When he came to her classroom as a new student she just felt her heart turn over in her body and she couldn't stop the most amazing feelings from overwhelming her..."

A Weekly Column
By Joseph Walker
SAMANTHA
You can keep Ichabod Crane and his headless horseman. For me there is no more chilling moment in Halloween history than the one faced by Samantha and the Headless Hugger.
Our narrative begins 15 years ago in the
Of course souvenirs were purchased here and there for
family members back home, and they were lovely and welcomed (for example, I received
a mini Swiss Army knife, which doesn’t sound Spanish but was really handy and
fun). Only one purchase, however, could truly be considered a treasure: a
delicate statuette by the legendary Spanish porcelain maker, Lladró, purchased at the company’s factory in Almàssera, on the outskirts of
It was precious, valuable and much beloved. Our daughters started making claims on it as a family heirloom as soon as Anita took it out of the box to show us. Our sons weren’t quite so interested in it. Joe Jr. was only interested in statues of Michael Jordan at that time (still is, come to think of it) and Jon was . . . well, Jon had just celebrated his first birthday and was only interested in mothers who could feed, hug and cuddle him.
Porcelain beauty notwithstanding.
Because we still had little ones at home and didn’t have a curio cabinet, Anita kept her treasured Lladró in its protective box on her closet shelf for several years, bringing it out only to share with special guests. As soon as Jon was old enough to understand and practice the concept of “don’t touch” (which, it turns out, can be powerfully taught when it is closely aligned with the concept of the guillotine – which I know is French but seemed appropriate in a Machiavellian sort of way) Anita brought it out of the box and positioned it in a place of honor on a little table purchased specifically for this purpose.
Here our Spanish treasure rested for several years. It survived awkward boyfriends, a few tumultuous games of Twister, numerous family gatherings, the conclusion of Joe’s adolescence and the onset of Jon’s.
But it could not survive Samantha.
Just before Halloween a couple of years ago our third grandchild dropped the statuette on a hardwood floor (evidently the guillotine part of the “don’t touch” lecture wasn’t passed on to the next generation – don’t ask me why). Most of the figurine survived the fall – but not all. Suddenly our porcelain mother was a headless hugger, which made her outstretched arms reaching for her daughter seem frighteningly macabre.
Scary? Absolutely. Especially for Samantha, who had to face Grammy with the recently decapitated statuette. Talk about terror! Ichabod Crane had it easy compared to this!
Thankfully, Anita understands that people are infinitely more important than things. She didn’t shed a single tear over her lost keepsake. Instead, she helped to dry Samantha’s – and Samantha’s mother’s – tears and to comfort them with words of love and understanding.
And when I taped a tiny plastic Jack-o-lantern to the place where the porcelain mother’s head should have been and situated the Lladró among our Halloween decorations, nobody laughed louder or longer than Anita.
Take that, Ichabod Crane!
