The Power of the Story

 

The Power of Story

There is nothing more powerful 

than stories to connect us,

to help us to understand ourselves 

and each other, and to build empathy.

(Toni Morrison, "The Origin of Others")

Let's Celebrate Spring!

Spring symbolizes new beginnings. 

Nature reveals its beauty 

through budding trees and flowers, 

and the beauty of temperate air invites us 

to spend more time outdoors.

As we prepare our garden and flowerbeds, 

new life awakens joy in the beauty 

of our world and the desire to explore it.

The Sunshine state offers 174 state parks, beaches, 

72-degree spring waters and waterfalls, 

and even mysterious caves.

You don't have to travel far or

even leave Miami-Dade Country to find the beauty

of Biscayne National Park, 250 square miles 

of pristine water spotted

 with lush islands and vibrant coral reefs.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

April Brings New Celebrations

 In April, we're celebrating the National Library Month, 

National Poetry Month, and National Jazz Month.

Let's say 'yes' to all three: books, poems, and music.

All three brings inspiration and fullfeeds. People say,

"April showers bring May flowers." Another element that

is vital in our daily lives.

A tree and plane

Nature and steel.

One fills up the soul,

What a different turmoil!

The other has wings to fly,

To carry it out and move by.

Here comes the true observation:

We need both green environments

And modern technology's speed and power.

Green-green grass

And a beautiful flower

Are the sculptures of nature.

Nature and steel -

Our planet's will.

They belong together

In any kind of weather.

(Ida Tomshinsky @ 2022)

March 8, 2022: International Women's Day

 

Women are at the center of the national workforce.

What women bring to the table?

They are the biting hearts of the organizations.
