<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just finished reading one of the most amazing books </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">ever read</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This book is a true story based on cells taken from</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Henrietta Lacks </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">without her permission during a biopsy back in 1951</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There are so many story lines to this book</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">and so many emotions</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The "HeLa" cells are named for Henrietta</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">(from the first two letters of her first and last names)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">and they were the first cells ever to reproduce "boisterously"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">in a lab at Johns Hopkins</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hela became an instant biological celebrity, traveling to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">research labs all over the world</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">These cells have been responsible for things like the polio vaccine,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">to aging and cancer cures, etc...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I do not want to tell you anymore about the book, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">because i hope you will all read it -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">it is worth the read!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a picture of Henrietta and her husband, David from</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">around 1945</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to tour</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">the Tribute Center and Ground Zero yesterday with several friends,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">including my friend Michele who is one of the guides</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">She has been involved since "day one" and it was </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">so much more special having her with us</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">To be a guide you have to have some connection to 9/11</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In other words you had to be involved in some way</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Michele lived only blocks from the towers, as did her son and her</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">husband worked there</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Luckily, they all survived, but were effected emotionally</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I was in New York on 9/11, I worked in mid-Manhattan and </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">i</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">t is a day that will remain forever engraved </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">in my mind and in my heart</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Below are some of the pictures from yesterday's visit</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">You MUST put it on your Bucket List</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Yes, it is sad and touching, but we must never forget </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">that this happened.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This tribute wall is much more beautiful in person</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is outside the tribute center which is next door to Firehouse Three</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This Firehouse was not a first responder because they</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">were out on a call when the Tower's were hit</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">For this reason they "only" lost six firemen</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is an overview of the building of "One World Trade Center"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">which is the official name of the new building</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is NOT being called the Freedom Tower</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">To the right of the picture you can see the South Bridge</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">That bridge used to go across the entire street</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Notice there is a small hole at the top</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">That happened on 9/11 and they have no plans on fixing it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is not a structural damage and they want it there to remind</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">people of what happened</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Also, there was a North Bridge and there are no plans to replace</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">that bridge</span></div>

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a picture of the Memorial Park when you walk in</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is serene and park-like (a little more concrete that i imagined)</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">but very tranquil</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No words can describe the feeling when you walk up to the pools</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">To imagine that this is the actual footprint of the South Tower</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">is mind boggling...</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So sorry this picture will not turn around</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is the pear tree that survived the collapse of the twin towers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It was discovered in the rubble of 9/11 and was replanted</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">at the Memorial Plaza</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It had snapped roots and a blackened trunk and was</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">only 8 feet high when it was taken to a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Parks Department in the Bronx</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">They nursed it back to health and it now stands</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">about 30 feet high!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">for the eleventh anniversary</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is supposed to be amazing!!!</span></div>

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Again, I apologize this is not in the correct direction</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here stands One World Trade Center in all its glory...</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I did not take any pictures at the Tribute Center</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It was too moving, too personal, too tragic...</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Make sure you do not miss it when you go</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">All surviving family members were asked to send in</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">photos, mementos or whatever of their loved ones</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This room is just too much to bear...</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Michele told us that some families are still getting calls</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">that remains have been identified</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Some families have been called up to ten times</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Many families have asked not to be called anymore</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is just too painful already - too much to handle</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The stories are endless</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The tragedies are beyond our wildest dreams</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">But yet there are also hopes that have come out of all this</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hopes that people have become better </span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hopes that the world will become a better place</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hopes that we will all learn something from</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">these tragedies</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is a quick post</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Just wanted to show you the book I have planned for</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">my October class at Scrapper's Cove</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I love the Authentique line of papers and used them for this book</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The album itself is by Maya Road and is a fabulous book to work with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The cover of flowers makes you smile</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I called my book "Summer Memories" but you can call</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">your book anything you want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The spine is a delight of new and vintage buttons</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our trip to Arizona was highlighted with a class given by</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">our friend, Carol Wingert</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">These classes are her "heirloom" series and this one did </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">NOT disappoint us at all</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">First of all, it was at the home of Carol's friend Patty</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">(and her husband Kraig)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">They are two of the nicest, warmest, most gracious people</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">you would ever want to meet</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Their home is warm and beautiful and inviting and the aromas</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">just filled our senses all day long...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The class was entitled "spool stories"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">(along with just a few of the many stamps we used)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">and our place card attached!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I just returned from a ten day jaunt on the west coast</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I spent five days in Napa, California with eleven "girls"</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It was the most incredible experience</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Then I flew to Phoenix, Arizona and two of my "artbooking" friends</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">(Regina and Lynn)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">met me there and we spent four glorious days vintage shopping, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">antiquing, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">visiting scrapbook stores </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">and then the highlight of the trip was a class</span></div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">and does this girl know how to celebrate in style</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">EVERYTHING we did was first class</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We giggled from day one then cried when we said goodbye</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I will post some of the pictures so you can get a "feel" of </span></div>

What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011? How will you go about eliminating them? How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life? </strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is not such an easy prompt today!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here goes - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Eleven things my life does not need in 2011!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1. Stress</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2. Anger</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">3. Jealousy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">4. Pressure</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">5. Unhealthy eating</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">6. Disappointment</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">7. Sadness</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">8. Guilt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">9. Insecurity</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">10. Lying</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">11. Anxiety</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I will go about eliminating these things by living my</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">life the way I have been trying to this past year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Filled with people that truly care about me and vice versa!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Friends that are true to who I am!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I will try to get back on track eating healthy and enjoying it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There will be situations I cannot control but I will</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">try and handle them with dignity and intelligence.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If I can live my life this way, then I will have</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">less stress, guilt, anxiety and all of the emotions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I do not want...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This will cause my life to be at peace, happy, content and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">fulfilled.</span><br />
<br />
