Great to be back...

Can't believe it has been almost a month since my last post. How time flies....!

It took a L-O-N-G time to recuperate after Ecuador. Both Joel and I came down with a type of bronchitis that seemed to hang on forever. Thank goodness, our immune system finally kicked in. Despite getting ill toward the end of our Ecuador adventure, it was quite an experience. I'm hoping to upload some pictures onto this blog soon.

A VERY strange thing happened since my last note. Somehow, my former website disappeared. Literally -- into thin air. I'm not sure how it happened. I'm in the midst of redoing the website, and temporarily have a few pages up. I'm planning to get a new design done soon. It all takes some time.

In the meanwhile, we're moving full steam ahead on a variety of projects. Our social justice film for Or Tzedek, the youth organization within JCUA (Jewish Council On Urban Affairs) is in the editing stages now. The director, Bruce Frankel and I reviewed hours and hours of great footage. Looking forward to seeing it all come together.

Westside Health Authority (www.healthauthority.org) keeps producing programs to help improve health and well-beintg on Chicago's west side. We're keeping the public updated with publicity releases.

I just finished a new children's story, "A New Home For Fuzzy Bear" that shares the story of one of our small stuffed animal donations to Ecuador. It's based on a true story, and I'm sending it out to a few publishers.

Soon, we'll be writing web copy for a most special, holistic, innovative, caring dentist on the north shore. He is someone who not only speaks Spanish fluently, but also has a passion for service. He has patients who flock to his office from hours away -- and yet he has built up his practice solely by word of mouth. It's now time to get his name out into the e-universe.... no one other than Dr. Joel L. Sanders, DDS -- my hubby! His construction page is still out there -- www.naturaldent.org.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
