Message From The Executive Director
 | | Betsy Werley |
Thanks to my far-flung relatives, I had two opportunities to combine Transition Network activities and family togetherness in March: representing TTN at the annual American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) conference in Denver and meeting with our Ft. Lauderdale chapter-in-formation's Steering Committee.
Those events illustrated TTN at our best - striking a spark with individuals thinking about "what's next" at the AONE conference and inspiring talented women to put their hearts and souls into creating new chapters.

Discover: Relationships
Tug of War
by Nancy Alvarez (TTN-National)
I don't want to live in a city. I want to stay where I am. And I also want to live closer to my grandchildren so my daughters and I can have lunch together on a regular basis, and I can drop in on a soccer game or school activity. Of course I can't do both: stay here and live just miles from both of my daughters. Several of my friends are also grappling with this issue. What do we do as we age? Do we choose to move closer to our kids, or do we accept the inevitable distance and Skype more often? . Continued

 Kindness: Charity in Your Heart by Kathleen Vestal-Logan (TTN-National)
"I enjoyed sitting with you this evening," I said to Brenda. It was a simple statement, genuine and polite, but her response took me by surprise. "Thank you," she replied, "for being so kind. I was nervous about coming because I knew I wouldn't know anyone, and you made me feel comfortable."

In geology, old is gold. According to the local mining lore here, senior geologists tend to do their work the old-fashioned way. They avoid radar technology, preferring instead to examine termite and ant mounds; they study vegetation and carry divining rods. They're famous in the often cutthroat industry for their efficiency-also for wearing neckties in the blistering heat.
