17th Anniversary of 9-11...

17th Anniversary of 9-11...
On the 17th Anniversary of 9-11, we continue prayers for a path to peace. (Picture above - TishTrek and husband Harry @ the podium inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York City). It was the privilege of a lifetime for us to be with leaders from around the world on a night when honoring excellence in writing and reporting was the common language uniting all of us. As one of the proud sponsors of the Annual U.N. Correspondents' Dinner, we enjoyed honoring excellence in writing and communications by helping to fund scholarships for international university students who had the courage & talent to tackle some of the difficult issues of our time. Through their magnificent words, they successfully created content that helped readers see through the lens of their research & life experiences. These students inspired all of us. I have confidence the next generation will pick up where we leave off.

"Nothing Is Impossible" When You Keep Going!

Step, Step, Step... Day# 23 and I'm walking on air!

The doctors monitoring this health and wellness journey were pleased today:

Blood Pressure: 120/80
Total Weight Loss To-Date: 10 pounds!

The commitment to TishTrek - my 51/51 Challenge grows stronger with every improved statistic! I know I can win because I feel better everyday!

Wish me luck as I enter the final week of January. Only eleven months to go!

Everybody's Cousin Tish
Score: 10/51

    The final week of January leads into the first week of February. You don't have eleven months to go, you have the rest of your life! 10 1lbs, Tish! That's 10 boxes of butter. Think about 10 lbs of cheese. How about a new infant, usually a little less than 10 pounds but so significant. I love you for doing this!
