Being a Role Model

Being a Role Model

I was humbled a couple of weeks ago when my son handed me a hand-made invitation to a “Role Model” lunch program. Although I knew he was talking about role models at school, as part of the anti-bullying program that had been incorporated into the sixth-grade curriculum, I had no idea that he had selected me as his role model.

Giving Back to the CCVI

I have tried to find more meaningful ways for them to serve the community, things they are interested in so hopefully they can develop a lifelong passion for service. Needless to say, when one of the teachers at the Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired (CCVI) posted on Facebook that they needed volunteers to watch the children while their parents attend a Parent Meeting, we jumped at the opportunity.

Sarver Ski Adventure

Sarver Ski Adventure

Our family recently took our first ski trip. I’ve thought about a ski vacation in the past, but honestly was overwhelmed at the thought of packing ALL that stuff, not to mention the fact that I’m not the most athletic person you’ll ever meet.
