margy finally put into words something i've been trying to understand.
we all want to give our children a better life than we have had,
but each family's experiences place them at a different starting place.
it could take generations for some families to progress to the level that is another family's starting place.
still, we're all on the same ladder and have the power to pull each other up,
but not in giant leaps - only one rung at a time.

lessons on love from the school with no name 
9th ward relief society enrichment night
(a sewing production line to complete school supply bags for the humanitarian effort)
++++
we had a perfect turn out. ten plus sewing machines. stitching along.
my heart is full.
not alot to ask. it seemed simple. and small.
{throw a few extra school supplies in my shopping cart and some donated time on a thursday night}
but to some children – somewhere - it was big.
and to the mama’s of those kids… it was huge.
