“10 Questions” with Marion Brunken, Executive Director, Volunteer Alexandria

Yes it’s true! The Zebra was so pleased with our Quarantales stories and our executive director’s guest appearance on their Facebook Z-TV LIVE! show last week that they’ve asked Jane to host a weekly show for them! And of course she said yes because she’s not going to pass up a chance to be on TV. So, welcome to “10 Questions” where Jane asks an Alexandria leader to answer 10 (or more) professional and personal questions. And why? Well, for two reasons. First, viewers get to know our community leaders beyond their job title. Second, we want to show viewers different ways they can get involved in making our wonderful Alexandria even better and stronger!

And don’t miss our follow-up “Five More Questions with Marion Brunken” too!

Our inaugural show aired on June 24, 2020. How did we do? And if you want to nominate an Alexandria community leader to be on our show, contact us!

Rainbow Bird

Love this story about “Rainbow Bird” created by one of our Friends of Guest House clients!

All of the birds were mean to Rainbow Bird, but Rainbow Bird was kind and helped them when they needed food. We can all learn from this very short story.

Divine Light

Divine Light

I stare at her reflection.

Caught in the spark of spirit twinkling in her eyes.

The skin sags, the smile twists, but the eyes… The eyes shine with the soul within.

Windows to an innocent heart.

My very own piece of divine light.

Dreams

Dreams, fantasies dancing in the dark.

Puzzles piecing together in my consciousness.

Bitter memories flowing into sweet lessons.

Building blocks for a sounder morning.

Dark past translating into tomorrow’s take to be told.
