Lon Seidlitz: Pool Guy and Proud Prader-Willi Syndrome Dad
Lon is an amazing guy who lives his life by taking the"next step" that is before him. He has no fear of failure or no concept that a task is too big for him. He CANNON BALLS into life! From owning his own pool company in his early 20's, building a vacation home specially designed for Prader-Willi Syndrome Families, to building a multi-purpose church building with a variety of therapy and wellness services. Lon is kind and compassionate guy who loves to laugh. He is a VERY patient teacher too as he's retaught me each season HOW to care for a pool! You'll enjoy his upbeat personality and this inspiring conversation.

Dena Rapoport: National Gallery of Art Art's Educator
30 minutes with a pencil in hand and a creative mind turned loose is so good for my soul!
Dean Rapoport and I met virtually during Covid when she launched a program entitled Sketchbook Club as part of her job at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Dena is a fantastic arts educator. She is thoughtful, observant, calming, inspiring, curious and well researched. She makes me FEEL like an artist.
Dena makes me feel brave enough to try to make art. I don't consider myself an artist, but her classes have allowed me to tap into the creative spirit within myself. As we all know sketches and life don't always go as planned. This has helped me become more resilient and become a risk taker and a problem solver when the sketch doesn't go the way I indeed it to go. I think this skill of becoming more resilient is SO important for ALL humans! Art is fun in its own right, but making art is so much more that just fun, it is a playground were we can learn about set backs and how to overcome them.
I hope you'll join Dena and me for an upcoming Sketchbook Club. You can register HERE! (https://www.nga.gov/calendar/family-activities/sketchbook-club.html)
As we consider art today, I was struck with the analogy that people are like works of art: paintings or sculptures. Sometime you glance at an artwork and you immediately connect with it. Other times you have to sit with a piece of art for awhile before you can truly appreciate it. People can be that way too. Challenge yourself to try to find something of beauty in all works of art, whether in canvas, stone or human form!
