A Perfect Match
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
I put up my new 1994 calendar in the kitchen, feeling like I’d finally gotten my life back on track. The past year since my divorce had been a long, hard struggle, but my three boys and I had adjusted to our single-mom household.
My job at a furniture factory kept food on the table and paid the bills. And I’d started going to church again with my mom. I couldn’t quite believe as she did that God had a deep, personal interest in our lives—I figured he had more important things to worry about than me—but I definitely found comfort in being closer to him.

Hello, My Name Is…
Thursday, November 1st, 2007
Everyone who sees Scott Ginsberg knows who he is right away. And it’s not because he’s famous for anything. It’s because he wears a nametag. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
On his way out of an event in college, Scott noticed a trashcan full of discarded name-tags. "I thought, What would happen if I left mine on all day?" He got his answer quickly. The simple act of putting his name out in the open "inspired these great conversations, and I started meeting all these new people," he says.

The Making of a Caregiver
Thursday, February 1st, 2007
My days in retirement had started to blur together. Oh, they were pleasant enough-summer days spent lolling away up at our lake house, puttering on the boat, visiting with our kids and grandkids. But lately I’d felt this grinding sameness. I was growing bored. And to think I’d looked forward to retirement.

Open Arms

9/6, 10:00 A.M.
A gorgeous September morning in our suburban Atlanta neighborhood. At breakfast with my husband, Bob, I glance at the Hurricane Katrina headlines.
A haunting photo of a woman struggling through waist-high water with a child no more than two at her hip stares out at me. Who is she?
I go for my morning walk, that mother and child in my mind’s eye as I imagine the thousands of other mothers and children just like them in Louisiana, or camped out at Houston’s Astrodome.
