A Night On Lake Travis

Last night I took a ride on a boat on Lake Travis. It was a beautiful night, full of stars but quite windy. It was a family ride to celebrate the graduation of my great nephew. I had not been out to Lake Travis in a long time. I sat on the upper deck with my husband and we talked, watched the youngsters swim and everybody had such a great time. It was good to take a night off from working but I paid for it today, but that's alright because family still comes first in my life. 

The feeling of being overwhelmed has sucked up my energy and my brain.  With the fundraiser event only three weeks away, the crunch is on. I feel ready to take it on, but it's a lot to take in when you have never planned an event in your whole life. I pray people come out and support Ujima. I do understand that times are hard and people have to really think about what they spend their money on. So, I hope some people will spend it on a good cause which is the continuation of the magazine. We are almost at our year anniversary and in this short period I feel we have done good in the community. I feel we have reached people and celebrated our communities passions, creativity, and success.

I will prepare to go to bed knowing that tomorrow will be a new day and I will work just as hard or harder as I did today. Thanks for reading 

Embrace Your Community

I think the magazine looks great and what a wonderful addition to the wealth of free information available about our community. You are really filling a niche! Best of luck with the fundraiser.
