<p>From the minute Carol set out at the crack of dawn for the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, the colorful excitement and the surprises of the event won her heart and soul.  Carol March&#8217;s story begins with the uncanny sight of the Dawn Patrol, three balloons lit from the inside out and floating in the blackness above a sleeping city about to waken to giant orbs rising in the clear New Mexican sky.  We experience the careful planning and anticipatory excitement of spectators, chase crews and safety directors called &#8220;Zebras,&#8221; as they prepare for launch.  And we watch as Carol, a reluctant bystander who is determined to never step aboard a basket about to be lofted into the air, is confronted with an invitation&#8212;and a challenge no one expected.Accompanying Carol&#8217;s narrative of high adventure are the photographs of Bill Pearson, a videographer and skydiver with over 900 jumps.  His keen eye for spatial context cause these full color images of the fiesta to lift the reader right off the page.  Ceremony at Dawn is your escort through the wondrous ritual of hot air ballooning, and may well serve as your invitation.</p>

<i>The Odds of Becoming Ourselves …</i> These “odds” are that we will, each of us, become ourselves, our individual selves. Our odds, also, are opportunities; choices. As the life-span increases for many of us, we have more of a selection. And as this life becomes real, we can create a recipe, a map, and then live it to the best odds we can muster. This book about becoming ourselves follows life experiences of Carol Shelton March.She re-lives this life in poetry and prose. Influenced by her life experiences from childhood, her teens, and through adulthood to maturity … Carol says, “I am still learning”. Her hope is to take the reader through these experiences in a way that conveys a story, provokes thought and is an enjoyment to read.
