When my kids were home for a visit recently, we spent some time looking through some dusty old family photos.

These two images took me back to a July forty-six summers ago, when I entered my first contest. So convinced was I that I would the first prize, that I wrote to my aunt and uncle in Colorado to ask if I could put my pony on a train (after I won him) so he could go west and live with their other horses.

Katie Baird pony 1962I remember being outside playing baseball at dusk, hearing my mom hollering, “Katherine Ann!” Boy, you knew you were busted when your mom called you home that way.

Except I wasn’t busted; I was a winner, and Captain Vern was calling from Davenport, Iowa to tell me so.

What lesson did I take from that? If I can envision something, it can happen.

Here’s to YOUR being a winner!
