Bridge City has a New Name for One of its own
The Bridge of the People. Love the name, love the look, can't wait until it's open.
There's a new "multimodal" bridge in Potland. The Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People. It's a name that comes from the original residents of the Willamette Valley and it's a great name for a bridge that soars above the Willamette river. “Tilikum” means people, tribe and relative.
The bridge will host transit, bicyclists and pedestrians, but no cars. If needed, emergency vehicles can use the bridge.
On the west side, the bridge will connect with the new Southwest Porter Street. The east side will run near the OMSI.
The 7.3-mile Portland-to-Milwaukie light-rail line will run on the bridge.
The new transit line is scheduled to open Sept. 12, 2015.

April 26th is Earth Day
If you're looking for something to do to help support the Earth and Earth Day, you can check out this website for a few good "green" ideas. Then plan to make a difference. It's easy to volunteer and you might make a few friends while you're helping the earth.
Let's all do a little and it will do a lot!

Tax Day - Time for Something Sweet
Plus I made some glitter eggs. Sweet way to spend a tax day ;D
Running is a lot like Writing
Maybe you don't see the connection but I am determined to reach certain goals and whether it's a chapter or a half marathon, it takes the same set of skills to get-er-done.
I have to make time instead of excuses. And believe me, it's much easier to make excuses than to make time. When I run, I have to work it into my life and that means getting up earlier than normal so I can clock my miles. And when I write, I usually stay up later than I'd like so that I can reach my word count.
Both running and writing take determination, setting goals and perseverance. There is no substitute for "butt in the chair" time or "feet on the pavement" time. You can't reach your goals if you aren't willing to make a few sacrifices, which might mean less sleep or perhaps less t.v. time, but no matter what your goals are, you have to set some guidelines.
You can't just decide one day to go outside and run a marathon or tell yourself you'll write the next great novel, if you don't make time to put the hard work in.
So, if you want to run a 5k, 10k, or even a marathon - or write a story, a book or an article - set some goals and find the time to do the work to get you where you want to be.
If you don't, the time will slip past and one day you'll end up wondering why...you never ran the race, wrote the book or did whatever it was you wanted to do. Because time stands still for no man...or woman.
