Make The World More Beautiful
Lately I have put out statements of interest for the programs that I have applied for. I wanted to catch the reviewer's attention and to show them who I am. So I spoke about the Lupine Lady.
TidBit of the Day: From the book Miss Rhumphius - "When I grow up,"I tell her, "I too will go to faraway places and come home to live by the sea.""That is all very well, little Alice," says my aunt, "but there is a third thing you must do.""What is that?" I ask."You must do something to make the world more beautiful."

I remember when I was a little girl one of my favorite books was a story entitled Miss Rumphius and on my first day of YLCC it was our bedtime story. I wanted to be like her. To visit faraway places and then to come back home to live by the sea. But as Miss Rhumphius reminds her great niece "You must do something to make the world more beautiful." That is a big demand you may think, but really its not. Miss Rumphius did her part by spreading lupines throughout the hillside to make it more beautiful. I always wondered, "How can I do that?" I know I have a lot more time to do a lot more, but I think that keeping a positive focus and caring about not only your close friends, but for all people would be a great way to start.
