Instead, people considered her a farmer's wife, although she milked cows, grew vegetables, harvested apples and cooked the meals that kept everybody else who worked on the farm going. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/08/13/the-hand-that-tills-the-ground.133336 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/08/13/the-hand-that-tills-the-ground.133336 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:06:00 EDT BLOG scott@signalhillspot.com (Scott Pruden) Scott Pruden Story Writers, like musicians, are notorious for leading double lives. We have our day jobs, which pay us the wages we need for things like groceries and the mortgage, and our side jobs that usually involve artistic expression that would be out of place (or wholly inappropriate) in our other work. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/07/29/the-biggest-fans-are-often-the-shortest.129955 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/07/29/the-biggest-fans-are-often-the-shortest.129955 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:10:00 EDT BLOG kkearns@signalhillspot.com (Kathleen Kearns) Kathleen Kearns Chapel Hill, NC Memory Story Music Music is on the minds of the Signal Hill team these days! My colleague Scott recently wrote a perceptive piece about how memory and music are intertwined. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/07/14/music-and-memory-redux.128216 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/07/14/music-and-memory-redux.128216 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 10:00:00 EDT BLOG Scott Pruden Story Much noise is made about the digital age we've been living in for a while, whether as part of a discussion of e-books, digital music or new ways to watch movies at home. And among that noise is usually a discussion of how the "gatekeepers" have been removed from the process of enjoying art or entertainment. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/07/09/the-sound-of-memory.127097 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/07/09/the-sound-of-memory.127097 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:49:00 EDT BLOG kkearns@signalhillspot.com (Kathleen Kearns) Story One day recently, when I was pushing myself to be super-efficient and strike those items off the old to-do list, I called an 83-year-old woman to interview her about an award she won. Last year, Marian Chuan started a volunteer program so she and her neighbors, most of whom are in their eighties and nineties, can brighten the days of those in The Village at Valle Verde, the health center at the Santa Barbara continuing care retirement community where they live. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/06/07/the-meaning-of-life.124895 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/06/07/the-meaning-of-life.124895 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:15:00 EDT BLOG Daniel Pryfogle Design We're in the midst of two design projects: an annual report for Vesper Society, a new Web site for ABHOW.

At this point, it's not just my shaky muscles I need to get back into shape, it's my courage. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/05/19/the-happiest-mile.122190 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/05/19/the-happiest-mile.122190 Wed, 19 May 2010 08:08:00 EDT BLOG Scott Pruden Design Story On Mother's Day, my wife, Kelly, celebrated six years as a mom not by going to brunch or being given a day "off" from maternal duties, but by running her first 5K footrace with nearly 300 other women to help support a local charity.My wife is many things, but until that moment had never considered herself a runner. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/05/10/dont-call-it-a-hobby.120896 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/05/10/dont-call-it-a-hobby.120896 Mon, 10 May 2010 17:30:00 EDT BLOG kkearns@signalhillspot.com (Kathleen Kearns) Environment Kathleen Kearns Story Like many people these days, I try to pay attention to my carbon footprint. The town where I live­­­­­ -- Chapel Hill, North Carolina -- has free bus service to encourage that kind of thinking, and it's so easy to get around here by bus and by bike that a year and a half ago, I got rid of my car. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/05/05/a-slightly-greener-business-trip.120544 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/05/05/a-slightly-greener-business-trip.120544 Wed, 05 May 2010 12:30:00 EDT BLOG Daniel Pryfogle Story Sometimes it's easy to slip into thinking that our generation is the first to wrestle with big questions like the connection between faith and work or the relevancy of the church to the world. It's good to be reminded that others have wrestled before. http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/04/07/remembering-a-pioneering-social-entrepreneur.117622 http://www.signalhillspot.com/blog/2010/04/07/remembering-a-pioneering-social-entrepreneur.117622 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 08:05:00 CDT BLOG
