Thank You Lena Lemieux ~ One of My Moms

There's a new face on Gather and she's just a peach. Her name is Lena Lemieux...but you can find her at owlet.gather. She is one of my very supportive Moms and I would like to introduce you to her. Her Profile on Gather:

• People say I'm:
  creative, invisible, colorful, loud, mischevious, in need of a dictionary, fun loving, smelling of a hippie, sarcastic, artistic, intuitive, bitchy, most important feylike
• Describe Yourself:
  i tread lightly on this earth my feet have never really touched the ground.i am a bubble of high energy orange with green and purple undertones
• On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:
  a place to sort out some of the static in my head.

Anyone reading this profile can understand why I bonded with her at once. It was Lena who first came into the class with the makings for bird feeders...and it was Lena who taught the children how to make candle holders.

Today, Lena's little girl came in bearing gifts. The children were all excited to see what was inside the "green" packaging. I was "gobsmacked" to use Magi's words...they are most fitting. There was a beautiful handknit wool scarf in purple, rose and moss green yarn (which I haven't taken off since I received it); some homemade lipbalm; three little picture frames with pictures of my animals (which she must of printed off Gather) and a CD with some of the finest music I know!

 The kids were as excited as I when they saw the gifts...and begged to listen to the Cd.  Once the music was on, without a word from me their bodies spontaneously erupted in movement and they started to dance. 

                              Happiness is sharing the gifts of others!  

So if you have a chance, stop over and say hello to our newest Gather friend...Lena Lemieux.
