A New Year and a new penny!




Happy New Year! I had the most amazing holiday season ever! I feel so blessed to be able to spend it with family and friends. I didn't get any high dollar gifts like in years past, but I received the best gift of all, the knowledge that the Christmas season is truely about spending time with family and friends. We went to our cabin above Park City and played games, built the annual sledding course and ate tons of junk food while sitting next to a roaring fire!



Now that 2010 is here, I look forward to many new adventures! I also look forward to finding one of the brand new 2010 pennies that will replace the old one I grew up with. The Lincoln memorial on the reverse of the penny will be replaced by a shield with thirteen vertical stripes which represents the thirteen colonies which united after the Civil war to make the United States of America. The words, "E Pluribus Unum," are written at the top of the shield which means, "Out of many, one..."

This year, I hope to tell as many people as I can about Koins for Kenya so, "out of many, one ..." can be unified as a family on this earth helping our brothers and sisters in need, even if they live across an ocean on another continent with the "The Power Of A Penny."
