Does this make sense???!!!

Mom, Business Consultant, Writer .... now Blogger! 

My very creative cousin said to me this weekend, "You are a Writer - and a Mom - AND you work from home.  YOU should be blogging."  I shook my head in agreement yet unsure, as my wheels began to spin.

Yes, I consider myself fairly automated and reasonably savvy with social media for a 40-something Mom of two, however, couldn't really picture how a blog would fit in ... so I did what I do best - I dove in!!  Welcome to my new blog.  I am not entirely certain what this will be, but I expect it will be where I combine by trials and joys of Motherhood and family life, along with the common sense approach projected into my business consulting work.

Does this blog make sense for me ... should you read it? Time will tell.  You may agree with me, think I am nuts, or be apathetic to my words but I want you to tell me what you think each time I share a story and ask you, "Does this make sense???"

Ok Sheri - just took a deep breath, palms joined together as if in prayer ... and I am diving ........

It Only Takes One

My son's daycare had five amazing, 8-foot sunflowers growing in their garden this summer.  My own sunflowers didn't do very well so we asked if we could have some of the seeds from daycare to plant in our garden next summer.  Shawna began to harvest the seeds from the faces of the sunflowers.  She took some home with her and a creature destroyed most of them - only a few remaining in their shells.  She returned to daycare to learn that the heads of the remaining sunflowers had been stolen right off their stalks in the yard of the daycare.  The ladies were upset and disappointed that they might not be able to carry on the tradition of their sunflowers. Cornell Sunflower - see the attempt at taping the stem ... When my husband got home from work today he told me their story and asked,"hey - do you have any more of those books with the 'Cornell Sunflower' story?"  A story I wrote was published by 'Chicken Soup' and the similarities to th...

A Mother's Circle of Life Love Song

What does a writer do with strong feelings .....write.  A tribute to my Mum. A Mother’s Circle of Life Love Song  ~ Sheri Gammon Dewling ~ Good night sweet girl, Mum said as she tucked me in each night. May my loving arms enfold you and protect you from the fright. I know you like to be awake and join in all the fun. Now it’s time for you to sleep. Tomorrow will soon come. Bless your heart, Mum told me as I learned, fell down and grew. May you face each day with kindness and continue to be true. I know the right decision isn’t always plain to know. Now it’s time for you to lead.   I’m proud to watch you grow. Good night sweet girl, I told her, as I watched her body fail. May the love of family guide you as your spirit starts to sail. I know you cherished life on earth, where your joy has always played. Now it’s time for you to sleep – no need to be afraid. Bless your heart, I said to her, as she took her last, slow breaths. ...

Cornell Gets Creepy for Halloween!!!!

 Photographer: N Rau Whether you celebrate this annual event or not, Halloween gives kids a chance to explore their creativity in costumes and provides the opportunity for communities to get more acquainted.   One Cornell home proves kids are not the only ones churning those creative juices.   This Cornell – Markham home grows its Halloween ornateness a little more each year.   It is not surprising to see cars slowing or families making special foot treks to explore the ‘eye candy’ this home has to offer.   From the towering Frankenstein, to gravestones, spiders and a carriage of horror – this family goes all out!!   When asked what motivated the effort, homeowner Jenn said, “We started it for our own kids.   Each year, as neighbours commented, it grew and grew.   This year – we even received a letter of thanks from one neighbourhood boy!”   Photographer: N. Rau Daniel’s family moved to Cornell just over one year ago. “We f...
