Entering Monday Wishing More Days Could Be Sunday. We All Need More Time In Our Lives for Us

Okay, I did work all day Sunday, but I also had time to hike, to eat dinner with friends, and to catch up with my cousin Mark. We talked about his creation for Hoops4Hope in 1994 (my senior year of college) and how we began using the H4H story with my high school students in Louisville. We tried to name all the ways that literacy has become part of the sports programs and how Skills4Life have found their way to classrooms around the world. 

I began to realize how much of my story is wrapped in with my admiration for his work. We share our passion for advocating for all youth and work to not only value the importance of playing, but also to tying reading and writing experiences from what it is we are playing....hence Hoops4Hope.

It is because of CWP-Fairfield, our collaborations with Kwame Alexander, and sponsors of Hoops4Hope that books have been brought to basketball courts in Zimbabwe.

Tiny world. Big world. Word with more problems than necessary, especially when I see the value of investing in the next generation.

But Monday...your Mondaying is doing what it does, so my reflection needs to be short. Here we go work week. Let's give it what we can.
