Why I Relay

My Reason to Relay
I have lost many family and friends to cancer. I know many of you have also lost loved ones to cancer.They have missed countless birthdays, birthday cakes, birthday presents, birthday candles and birthday wishes. We have missed sharing those birthdays with them. I wish we could have shared more of those birthdays with the ones we love, the ones who love you.I wish you peace and many more birthday wishes. Happy birthday Tommy, May, Ralph, Lisa, Elsie, Jimmy...Happy birthday.
I am participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life because I want to make a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer. I am determined to help make a difference, and hope you join me. I will be walking June 2,2012 at New Fairfield High School.

belt six....blue

I just made blue belt in TaeKwonDo!! How amazing is that (for me)!

I am working real hard still on the focus and self confidence thing.

 For me no easy task.

But must remember how far I have come along from the beginning.

The forms and kicking are getting more difficult, for me- to just remember.

Kicking and punching and form help maintain some sort of sanity for me.

I moved on....

...I moved on. Onto new experiences, new ventures,

 new directions, new art...

purple belt...tae kwon do...

I made my purple belt!! This is my 5th belt- wow almost a miracle that I can even remember forms, counting, sparring, punching, kicking...all in Korean! Am still a work in progress with focus and confidence. But I have come a long way, and can most likely can kick some body's butt, but they must be shorter than me...

Mercy, Mercy me...

Mercy, my third foster, purebreed wiemerimer (sp.?). Her 1st adoption fell thru so she spent more time with us than usual. What a sweet, sweet, sweet dog. She was used strictly for breeding, when she tested positive for heartworm while pregnant again, the breeder wanted her put down, he had no use for her any more. She is 2 years old. I am working through  http://www.cprdogs.com/  rescue group. Dogs from high kill shelters in TN are transported to NE to foster homes and then onto their forever homes. They have nothing but love to give. Even after their heartbreaking experiences, they only give/want love. This one was hard to let go-she was so sweet. But she was adopted by a wonderful family.

Please adopt, dont shop-there are so many dogs waiting for good homes...Also-this was Titan's mother! Much love Mercy.  



Titan

This is Titan. Foster puppy number 2. A beautiful pure bred weimerimer, 12 weeks old. www.CPRdogs.com  is a rescue group that transports puppies and dogs out of TN. They are pure love. Adopt, don't shop. A lot of a little bit of love goes a long way.(don't know if I spelled weimerimer correctly!)

Titan was adopted into his forever home. Very sweet, active puppy!
