Brick Oven Courtyard Grille will give you a $10.00 gift certificate for helping support our community bydonating to Working Class Hero Fund. Go to
for more information.
Working Class Hero Fundis a newly established organization founded on the tenet that there are many good, hard working people intoday’s society that experience traumatic events that leave them unable to meet basic necessities. While these individuals wouldchoose not to seek charity, they find themselves in an unenviable position of needing assistance, and then find that they do not meetguidelines of more traditional providers.WCHF will provide crisis funding for individuals that can prove they are gainfully employed and can show need. Participants must be able to articulate what circumstances caused the crisis, and what steps they plan to take to prevent similarcircumstances from occurring again. Funds will not be distributed to the individuals, but directly used to re-solve the immediate crisis. Participants will not be asked to repay the amount, but will be asked to sign an ethi-cal contract that will require that they in somehow “pay forward” the good will assistance
t
hat was given tothem. That “pay it forward” can be as simple as helping a friend in need, mowing the lawn of an elderly neigh- bor, or volunteering at a local non-profit. Assistance can only be granted 1 time within a calendar year.
Did you ever Wonder . . .
about so called coincidences? I used to think they were coincidences.Funny thing is, the more I keep my eyes open and pay attention to what goes on around me, the more these“coincidences” occur.We’ve all had the experience of thinking of someone only to walk in the store and see him/her, or pick up thephone and it’s that person. These incidents of coincident happen to me all the time now, much more than severalyears ago . . . or am I paying just a little more attention?One of my most favorite occurrences of this type happened a little over four years ago. My best friend, my mother, had died in June. In late Au-gust that same summer, I was still living in my mother’s home preparing to put it on the market. In 90 degree weather with 90 percent humidity, I’dpicked up my then nine year old son, Casey from my sister’s home. Casey and I drove to my mother’s home with plans of going swimming.The instant we walked into the house, we both realized the air conditioner was not working. After a few ughs and groans, Casey and I changedinto our swimsuits. As we locked the front door behind us, I spoke aloud to my mother. “Mom, I have no idea what your plumber friend’s name is,have no idea whom to trust on air conditioners, and I hope this isn’t too expensive. Please give me a sign that this will work out.”Within twenty minutes Casey splashed in the pool and I had made myself comfortable in a lounge chair. While relaxing, I heard my mother’svoice in my head. “Don’t worry. I’ve got the air conditioner covered.” I laughed out loud thinking that I was making this conversation up in my head.I opened a book, began to read. I couldn’t stay focused on the page and wondered who I would call in the morning. I heard my mother’s voice inmy head again. “I said don’t worry.”The next morning as I dried off from my shower, the door bell rang. I poked my head out of the bathroom and told Casey to answer the door. Icould hear Casey talking to someone, but couldn’t understand what was being said. With a towel wrapped around me, I moved into the hallway andcalled down the stairs. “Who is at the door, Casey?” Casey didn’t answer, but a male voice did. “I’m Troy, your mother’s plumber.” I said, “Stayright there. I’ll be down in a minute.”As I hurriedly threw on my clothes, with a total look of shock on my face that I could see in the mirror, I heard my mother say, “That will teach youto listen to me.” I laughed and said “thank you” to the ceiling and dashed down the stairs to meet Troy.“What are you doing here,” I asked, sizing up Troy, who looked like a “biker”, beard, tattoos, longer hair.Troy began, “I was driving a couple miles east of here and I just started thinking about your mother. And I thought, ‘you know I haven’t checkedin on Barbara in a while.’ So here I am.”

February Where in the World Answer:
Sisters ofLoretto Chapel,Santa Fe,New MexicoRead about thisarchitecturalmystery.“Well, Troy, my mother died two monthsago, but she brought you here today.”Troy looked at me kind of funny & madecondolences. I then proceeded to explain howI believed he came to arrive there that day.Troy removed his hat & scratched his head.“I don’t believe in this stuff. I’ve heard wildstories like this before and I’ve never believedin this kind of thing. The hairs on the back ofmy neck are standing. Now it’s happened tome. None of my friends are going to believethis . . .” Troy went on in his doubt and skepti-cism ending in surprising belief.And the air conditioner, Troy did me a hugefavor and didn’t charge me for the labor on anew air conditioner.The day after the air conditioner was in-stalled, I looked out on the patio and saw asea of cardinals, more in one place than Ihave ever seen in my entire life, at least fifty ofthese gorgeous birds perched on the patio fur-niture. My mother always said she’d comeback as a cardinal. Hmmm.Coincident? I think not. I prefer divinesynchronicity and faith. Ask for a sign. I promise ifyou open your eyes and
really
pay attention, youwill see a sign.

I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
May the best days of your past be the worstdays of your future!
