I am sitting here, gathering quotes, files, articles and paperwork to begin the next issue of our women's magazine, Shalom Bayit- peace in the Home. ( A quarterly publication). I am enjoying all the inspiration and blessings I receive just from reading all these lovely meditations. Then I gather up some papers to file and head upstairs. On my way, I see our glass doors and look out onto our front lawn. There, in it's October Splendor, is the essence of Vermont!! The gorgeous colored leaves are breathtaking. The wind blows a few leaves and I watch them land on the ground. You can see, from my doors, an old wooden wagon - something from days gone by, when travelers used one of these instead of a car. Not far from this, you will find two very large pine trees and right near, in the shadow of the sun, you will see our American flag waving in the air, atop a large flag pole. Our 100 year old home, is a large three story colonial on two acres.  One would think, looking over at our homestead, that it is a museum.

    How blessed am I? To sit here in my beautiful Vermont home as a writer and editor? And in this environment, I am so pleased, delighted and honored to publish magazines for my fellow homemakers who desire peaceful homes..... This is a legacy for us all!
