As a member of the Rhode Island School of Design, I get invited to many events in Providence. When I can’t attend — because I live so far away — I write a note to let the honoree know I’m sorry I’m not there to applaud. It’s not as nice as if I were there in…
Melissa ran the front desk at my husband’s office and every time she answered the phone, always sounded happy. That deserved a moment of recognition… or should I say, a “call-out? (Maybe not). Please Share
When I was on my search to understand my roots as a child of a Holocaust survivor, everyone asked, “Do you know Darlene?” When we finally met, we became instant friends and now she’s like my sister. I try to capture how important she is to me whenever I have the chance. Please Share
My niece is in her first year at University of Oregon. Sadly, my sister Kitty passed away when Kuu was 10. I try to stay in touch with Kuu and give her the kind of ”rah rah’ advice her Mom might have if she was alive. Please Share

On a trip down to Southern California, I had my brother Steve take a stretch class to align mind & body. My teacher, Kevin, deserved a shout-out for his care. Please Share
I brought my brother down to visit a psychiatrist here who deals with ADHD. After his appointment, I followed up. He ended up solving the problem without meds, but it was good to get her thoughts on the matter. Please Share
Who knew ordering cookies long distance would be so confusing? When the 1-800-number didn’t work sufficiently, I got a hold of the Manager. He made sure the chocolate chip cookies got delivered to the President of the school, and I thanked him. Please Share
I was excited when Bruce made it into the Los Angeles Times. I could run my own clipping service, so I sent it to him. Everyone likes to see their name in lights … especially if it’s for good things! At the very least, he can send it to his mother. Please Share
Our neighbor Kumiko introduced a friend of hers to us … someone who hopes to break into entertainment in America. I let her know of his progress. (I used my favorite stationery I’d hand-carried back from Japan since they both hail from there.) Please Share
