Back home in Canton, Ohio with family and friends.  Tomorrow is the Hall of Fame Parade and if I get up in time I will show you pictures!!!

On to Boston !

You have to love Boston, what a great city.  Board member Debbi Cassini and I went to meet with Ron Shaich, Kate Antonacci and Marianne Gaziadie of Panera Cares. We were in town just in time for their biggest heat way!!!

Debbi and I also got a chance to meet with Kristina Simes, a wonderfully inspired woman who is thinking of bring the One World concept to her home town of Santa Anna, CA.

I was also able to meet my dear friend Gloria's son Stephen Zeitler before I left Boston. Gloria is always talking about him or about me to him so we were happy to connect!!

I also got a chance to visit my editor Sue Bugamin and her husband Paul, (both my friends from our Heifer International/ Little Rock, Arkansas days) in Gloucester,MA.  We had a great time going to the beach on the hottest day of the year and attending a beautiful Shabbat potluck together later that evening.
