Day 2

"There is no such thing in anyone's life
as an unimportant day."

Alexander Woollcott
American Author

Day 1

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."

Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful for cultures different than our own. Sometimes, most notoriously as Americans, we are supremely ethnocentric. Ask any European who has been paying $4+ gasoline for years now.

I love Dutch tulips. I love the tango, German engineering and watching Kenyan runners. I love Thai peanut sauce, sushi, limoncello and sticky toffee pudding. I'm thankful for what research scientists are doing both here & abroad. I love the hope that Ellis Island embodies. I love those terrified but mighty colonists who left their families to try something new. And ultimately, I'm thankful for all those who came before us no matter where they were from.

What are you thankful for today?

a quick note ...

Please feel free to leave comments, though we may not have regular computer access over the next couple of days to post them promptly. Your words are important.

Good words.

Been thinking about how words these days become more than just syllables, especially when we say something mistakenly or erroneously. Since when did gossip become news? When did a verbal flub, which we all make, turn into the sum total of a person?

So in an effort to thwart the empty, ugly sentences that are pitched to and fro in the world, we have found The Kyrie Foundation's element of goodness within the words of plenty of wise & wonderful souls. That's what the next week or so is going to be about let. Human to human. Words of wisdom. Ponderings. Direction. Encouragement.

In the meantime, we are working on yet another forthcoming announcement mid-June. Stay tuned!

Calling all Kansas babies+parents!

Notice anything special about this Web site?

The Kyrie Foundation has been chosen as the Wichita BabyFare's charity sponsor!!!!! Absolutely incredible!

The event (scheduled during Kyrie's birthday month) is a fantastic weekend full of fun & information for expecting parents and those with freshly hatched children. ;) Loaded with baby-focused vendors & speakers, more details will be revealed in the weeks to come. We'll have a booth there, too, plus a few extra surprises we'll tell you about soon.

Just $5 to attend & scope out all the booths. Children under 5 years old are FREE!

Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful that tomorrow is Friday. Isn't it strange how the shorter weeks can feel so long? I'm thankful that tomorrow is Friday because I can share a little announcement about the foundation. Good stuff, Kyrie fans, good stuff.
