You may  hear an imitation of sea lions in my episode.

There is beautiful all over the world you just need to take the time to experience it.

Experiencing  it with friends is even more fun.

Thank you to Neil and Elizabeth and Rory and Jamie for a super great time.

Head out west if you have never been there.

Katie Slayton shares stories of memories that she has held onto for many years.  You won't want to miss this heartwarming episode. 

Here are some thoughts from Katie Slayton.

• I've always been puzzled by people who hate having a birthday.  Life's circumstances have taught me to cherish every year.  

• My grandmother lived to be thirty-six, but did not get the opportunity to see any of her five children as adults.  

• My mother lived to be thirty-eight.  She never saw me graduate from college.  She never met my husband, her grandchildren, or her great grandchildren. 

• Both women were mothers briefly and never had a chance to be a grandmother.

• I am the first woman in three generations to hold both titles and I feel so fortunate. 

Don't you want to celebrate Just One More birthday?

She has learned that no matter what you have been through you can still bring a smile to someone's face.
In the past couple of months, Sarah has learned how to make crocheted hats. She learned of other people creating hats for kids.
She decided she wanted to reach out to her local schools to see if she could make hats for the children. 
She worked with the teachers and parents and gave the children a blank coloring picture of a hat. They could design their own hat with colors or characters. 
Sarah and a her friend Cindy split up the pictures and started designing these masterpieces for about 50 children.
Her local paper came to the school as Sarah handed out the hats. The childrens face were beaming and it made Sarah's day to see the children put their hats on and wear them proudly.
Sarah encourages everyone no matter what you have going on in your life. It might be an illness, disease, or whatever but  don't be afraid to talk and share what you are going through. You will find others are struggling as well and you are not alone.
