I'm so happy for our country. I feel we have a capable, clear-headed, and consensus-building president elect. Three cheers for President Elect Obama and for all of us.
Also, the Beavercreek School bond, which I helped stump for, passed. It was its third time out, and a lot of people felt it was doomed with the recent economic downturn. But, the grassroots effort we put out seems to have made the difference. Three cheers for the citizens of Beavercreek, Ohio.
Another milestone: my sister Kindermusik educators are convening right now, in North Carolina. I'm thinking of you, ladies. Oh, I wish so much I were there. It's the right thing for me right now that I'm not there, as I'm not teaching Kindermusik right now. Sometimes, I'll be floating around the house and I'll start singing "Ram Sam Sam" or any other of a million little Kindermusik tunes in my head, and I'll miss teaching Kindermusik so much, it makes my teeth ache. But I'm working on the Nurturing Parenting teaching right now, which is off to a VERY SLOW START which is part of what makes this hard. I truly hope to be back in the saddle and at the KM convention in 2009.
Another milestone: I just passed my one year anniversary of keeping this blog! Wow. Coming upon my one year anniversary is forcing me to pause and reconsider. It started as a Kindermusik business tool. Then it morphed into a craft/Hall family happenings/random thoughts blog. That format would make sense if my family read it, or a wide circle of friends. But the truth is that there are three people who come by regularly to check in with me (bless you, friends), and two more who stop by once in a blue moon. I'd be more efficient, possibly, if I just e-mailed those dear friends. So, I'm rethinking the blog, and it's going on hiatus. I hope it will be back again soon, in a more professional context, perhaps. Or? I don't know yet. I'm wondering if I stop blogging, if I'll be nudged into working on the writing projects that hover on the edges of my consciousness.
Love to all. E-mail any time.

Well, I'll miss you here, but I know we can keep in touch other ways. I haven't agreed with you politically, however. I feel this is not a good thing for our country and am saddened by many things I am seeing and many things I fear for the future. But, that is the freedom we enjoy, to have differing opinions.
I am really proud of your new adventure with the teen moms. Even though you are starting out slow, just keep at it. It is a good thing you are doing.
I had a great convention! We learned so much, as usual. There will not be any further national conventions though! They are implementing more regional events that more teachers can commit to time-wise and financially. More to come on that through communications from KI, I'm sure.
I will write again soon! Thanks for keeping in touch. We are heading out to Disneyworld next Friday and will be gone Thanksgiving week. Have a blessed Thanksgiving with your family, Launa! In your new home!
