New Year’s Day Contemplation and Prayer on Virtue
- New Year’s Day is a time for reflection and contemplation on the personal state of our life. Daily in the news we hear and read about others and their triumphs and tragedies, and concentrating on that, forget we have our own ways to either rejoice in or amend.

This week I want to tell you about a special project I just completed. A mother wrote me and said her daughter could earn a Girl Scout badge for making a Charlotte doll like the one that belonged to Laura Ingalls Wilder. Since it was the 3rd request I'd received, I made a pattern for a doll body and dress using a copy of the original doll that is displayed in the Herbert Hoover Presidential Museum. Here is a link to my patterns - pass it along if you know anyone in Girl Scouts who might want it -

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!

Peace and blessings,
