...Here's to Hope...
Here's to hoping that 2010 will bring an upswing for so many of us out there with unemployed spouses, bills to pay and mouths to feed. I wake up some times in the middle of the night wondering what Little Girl was thinking getting conceived last year, but then I remind myself that life is hard and if we waited for tomorrow then tomorrow would never come.
Meanwhile, we plug along.
There are so many decisions that are fraught with guilt -- Why did I buy this house? Why didn't I sell it during the boom? Why didn't I sell it after the divorce even? Why didn't I save more? Why... The ever open-ended question.
That being said, it brought me to today... for better or worse.
I still daydream about a storage unit for my things and a one bedroom studio apartment in NYC. Now, I think I would settle for just a few calculated do-overs. LOL
Meanwhile, I stick out my chin and shine on...

Giving at Year-End
Dear Friends & Family,
The past year has been one of tremendous challenge. Economic conditions have made it necessary for most to make careful choices about how to spend, save, and give their resources. That is why YAV especially appreciates those who have chosen to continue their support.
Those who make charitable gifts may wish to structure the amount and timing of their gifts to make the best use of tax incentives available this year. Remember, gifts made by December 31 can help reduce the amount of taxes you owe next April.
Act Today! You can donate online by clicking here, or through the mail at the address listed below.
Your tax-deductible contribution will help us advance our mission to enhance the lives of children in and through the arts. The need for you to help is great and the opportunities are plenty. Please give as generously as you can.
Mailing Address:
Young Audiences - Arts for Learning - Virginia
420 North Center Drive, Ste. 239
Norfolk, VA 23502
Best Wishes,
Anna
