My friend and mentor,Richard Flint sends me daily mind joggers.
I'm passing this on to you.
I have a poster in the office that has been an inspiration for me
for at least 20 years. (I originally hung it in the bathroom at home and brought it to the office when I started Gateway Title).
This is Richard's message on dreams......
Be thankful for dreams; they keep your
world filled with possibilities.
I’m a dreamer! Are you? Do you have a continuous
sketch pad inside you, you are constantly drawing
pictures about what you want to do with your life?
Dreams are what keep your imagination alive with
energy. Dreams create our inner spring of inspiration
that results in the momentum necessary to keep
your life moving forward with a clear direction and
the strength of sight to see beyond the turmoil that
will come. Be thankful for your dreams and use your
inner sketch pad every day.
Remember, Being thankful requires a spirit of
thankfulness.
I hope you found this inspiring.....
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!-Rachel

Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner at the Torchia Home
This has become a November ritual...
My Three daughters and I start talking about who is doing what for Thanksgiving Dinner. As usual, it will be held at our house this year. The menu is predictable, as are the assigned cooking responsibilities.
I roast the very large fresh turkey that my daughter Michelle’s neighbor raises. I fill it with my secret, made up bread and sausage stuffing recipe. This year, we drafted Renee to make the Italian wedding soup. Michelle is an ace with mashed and sweet potatoes. Although I think she and I are the only ones who eat the sweet potatoes. Suzanne is the perennial Green bean casserole queen. Doesn’t everyone serve green bean casserole with turkey?
I like to make pies from “scratch” and over the years there are the favorites. For example, Robby and Bryan and Bobby, Joel want chocolate. Joe wants Pecan and Michael goes for the pumpkin. Ashley and Alison want banana, Renee prefers coconut and Michelle and Suzanne like banana/ coconut cream mixed together! I’m the Mom so I’ll make them all with my own special flavor of LOVE baked in each one.
Every year we ask each person to say for what they are Thankful. This year, they will moan and groan like this is silly before we start as usual but as they express Thankfulness for “love of family, surviving a faltering economy, a negative biopsy report, a positive pregnancy report, a 50th anniversary, healthy babies, there is not a dry eye around the table as this brings us close and renews our Faith in the strength of family.
From our Family to Yours: Have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving
PS Does anyone want any left over pie?
