The Heritage Continues

I have been working on my family tree for years.  But in recent years, it has become increasingly difficult, as I've lost touch with so many family members.  As the older generation has passed and the next scattered from one end of the country to the other, it has proven to be a challenge at best to keep in touch.  Now, thanks to Facebook, I've been able to reconnect with family members that I've not seen in 20 - 30 years.  It's just awesome!  So, the legacy continues as we all work together to fill in the spaces on the tree to preserve our heritage.  To the Costanza Clan............thanks!!!

My New Passion

It's not that I have a lot of time, just that I have some.  Three great gals and I have founded a new non-profit organization called Women With Willpower.  It's been so exciting and so humbling.  It is an infant and we're working hard to get this off the ground.  The community of Lake Havasu City has been so warm and receptive.  The fundraising stage has proven to be a real test of stamina and imagination, but I know we will prevail.  We are only 6 months old, but we've got 39 great ladies on board working with us to make this happen.   It is a true joy to see it all come together.

A Visit Home

A visit home earned me the opportunity to see my family.  My special treat was meeting my new great nephew, Darby and playing with his "big" brother, Brody. 




And I got a rare moment with my great niece, Lillyanna, to pick dandelions!
