Changes and Choices

Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, 

letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.

I am a little hesitant about continuing to post to this blog.  The One Candle Schoolhouse is no more, the two Bright Lights Community Learning Centers have ceased to be active, and even the Open Door Habilitation project has languished.  Without these projects, what is there to create posts for?  Is it appropriate to continue to use this site, for follow-ups, or should a new blog be created and linked, for those who would like to keep updated?

I really don't know...but events that are linked continue to occur that I would like to share, simple projects that continue to happen in the spirit of One Candle Schoolhouse, so I will randomly post them here and hope to sort it all out later....

To begin, after almost twelve years in the OCS house we'd built on rental property, in April 2014 I moved to a new location.  It is a very large, open building with a gorgeous view, on a huge piece of land facing the entrance to Tambobo Bay.

Plenty of room for the full work shop that Bill had built and all the OCS books, furniture....

....and visitors!

Those slippers belong to the classmates of Hamuel, a high school student who was involved in a serious motorcycle accident just before Christmas and will be recovering in the guest room for the next few months. 

Here are three recent videos of house-related activities:

Building Sweet Houses

Christmas Rice for Bondo Rd & Talukoy

A Swing for George

As for PILAR and Diane activities these past months...next posting!

UPDATE:  This will be the last post at this site, for OCS, BLCLII, and ODH.  It will not, however, be my last post for my continuing interest and involvement with related projects.  Those will be found at a new website I have begun building:  http://1candlefirebird.faso.com/Diane's new website  I look forward to continuing to share the 'adventure' with you...
