Amidst the Orchids OlaI stand and viewIn awe the flowers across the way,Wearing between the sprayLimbs of green and brown Leaves flow from the branches,As the blossoms spread to bareSweet fragrance on the wind Colors wind within the blooms, And share a sweet perfumeTo dazzle all my sensesBefore the flower dies I stand unable to look beyondThe beauty amidst the orchids It is no secret that the delicate bouquetIs as fragile as it is fair I look across the way, And see beyond the petals and the green Amidst the orchids, I stand so close and yet so farTo view the petals on display Amidst the orchidsI stand in aweOf the petals, the fragrance, and the day

RECIPE FOR REVERIE: ? a favorite rocking chair ? Juanita Pittman-Brown's What A Mother Says As you read these nuggets of wisdom you will remember others you gleaned from the special people in your past. "The winner in you makes the heart within me smile" is my favorite because it stirs in me the precise emotion I feel every time I think of the talented author whose writing I have enjoyed since she was in Junior High School. Nettie Young What A Mother Says is a collection of truths inspired by Juanita Pittman-Brown's observations and personal experiences in interacting with her children and experiencing life. Juanita's aphorisms share the foundation of her personal life and all that she has learned as a mother. In an effort to pass on the legacy of her life experiences, she has shared in this body of work long-term truths which were born out of growing up with a rich southern heritage and mothering her two sons.

THE STORY BRIDGE HELPS A COMMUNITY (ORGANIZATION, CORPORATION) MOVE FROM BEING A COLLECTION OF ALIENATED INDIVIDUALS TO A COHESIVE FORCE FOR COMMITTED ACTION. THROUGH THIS GROUP PROCESS, PEOPLE MOVE FROM A FOCUS ON "I" TO A FOCUS ON "WE." THEY ARE DRAWN BY THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE PERSONAL STORIES, AND HEAR THE SAME FROM NEIGHBORS AND COLLEAGUES. THROUGH THE FUN AND THE WORK OF SHARING STORIES, STRANGERS BECOME FAMILY. ATTACHMENT, RELATIONSHIP, AND COMMITMENT GROW BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO CROSS THE BRIDGE TOGETHER TO A NEW VISION OF THEIR PLACE.
