Follow Your Passion – Guest Post by Nancy A. Kaiser
November 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I came out of the womb with an innate love for animals – all animals. As a small child vacationing in Florida, my folks took me to a dolphin show. We went each night. The owner felt sorry for my folks and stopped charging admittance. It is apparent to me that my passion was firmly […]
Why I love reading the old-fashioned way – Guest Post by Katherine Swarts
November 13, 2009 By 5 Comments
They predicted a “paperless society” for the Internet age. Like space colonies and household droids (both once expected to be commonplace by 2009), it’s been slow to happen. I’m in no hurry for it.

So glad to be here at A Hen’s Nest! My passion has been lurking in the background for several years. While my boys were still at home, my free time was eaten up by sporting, music, and school events. Then came the empty nest. At first, I occupied my time with a full-time job to […]
