Leading in every phase of life

Leadership in my opinion should be taught as soon as a child begins to observe your everyday life interactions with others. 
As a member and President of Altrusa International of Southwest Dallas County, I have the honor and privelege of having my daughter accompany me to service projects that our club participate in.  In addition, she observes me volunteering in her Girl Scout troop, as a PTA mom, as an Awana teacher at our church and she sees me help friends when they are in need.
When her troop volunteered at the local CCA and St Andrews Church in Denton,TX she rose to the challenge like a pro. In fact, all of our girls did.  The girls loved it so much that they asked us to do more projects like these.
So as you can see, we show leadership when we aren't paying attention but living a life of grace and mercy for our loved ones to be a witness.
My cup and heart truly runneth over with pride.
I am so proud of our girls.
Posters of Paris: Toulouse-Lautrec and His Contemporaries
October 14, 2012–January 20, 2013 Chilton Gallery II and Focus Gallery I
Beginning with the early designs of Jules Chéret—the “father of the poster”—the exhibition explores the earliest days of the affiche artistique (artistic poster) and its floweringin Paris, first under Chéret in the 1870s and 1880s, and then with a new generation of artists including Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre Bonnard, and Edouard Vuillard, artists who brought the poster to new heights in the 1890s.
Posters of Paris: Toulouse-Lautrec and His Contemporaries examines the story of the French artistic poster in all its complexity. The show will highlight artists well knownto the public—such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Alphonse Mucha, and Théophile-Alexandre Steinlin—as well as names less familiar but equally powerful in their impact.
Posters of Paris: Toulouse-Lautrec and His Contemporaries is organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum. The curator of the Dallas presentation is Dr. Heather MacDonald, The Lillian and James H. Clark Associate Curator of European art

Read for freedoms sake.

If you have ever wondered if reading with your child helps... it does. 

My little one is reading very well, I am so proud of her.
