Feelings of vast, immense gratitude emerge as my husband and I walked the roads of the canyon this morning. Yesterday,our neighbors and friends put on a  Hootenany.  The Ladies of the Canyon organized and executed a Silent Auction on my behalf. The auction raised $1306. The funds will be donated to Hope Lives Fort Collins, founded by Lydia Doty. It will benefit many who are faced with the challenge of cancer, including me. I am so blessed to have such generous, loving and caring neighbors, many of whom have faced or are also facing the challenge of cancer in their lives. I honor you all for your BIGNESS of spirit and love. In the words of one of my heroes, Albert Schweitzer:

“Nothing that is done for you
is a matter of course.

Everything originates
in a will for the good,
which is directed at you.“

Thank You!
