Heart for Any Fate

When I turned 9 or 10, I got a present from Kathy Meyers, a lady from church. She wrote beautiful calligraphy. For my present, she wrote an excerpt from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "A Psalm of Life". It has been my goal to live this quote--especially the waiting part.
Let us, then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labour and to wait.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
US poet (1807 - 1882)

Hi. I'm trying to get ahold of my old friend Kathy Myers (Meyers)from Canyon County (Santa Clarita) California. She does calligraphy, so when I did a Google search on her, your blog came up. She is married to Ron and has three daughters. If this is the same person, do you have an email or other contact information for her?

Thanks,
Kim Wheeler
