Teachable Moment #2
I’m counting down the most memorable moments from my teaching career leading up to the one year anniversary of the day I moved on from my life as an educator. Number 2 on my list is “Teddy” (again, not his real name). Teddy joined my 8th grade English class not long after the start of… →

I Can’t Help It
What are you passionate about? I think for my answer today, I’m going to make you guess. I have told you about my passion for writing, knitting/crocheting, loud music from my “inspirational playlist”, mental health awareness, all the things. But there’s one more.

The Feeling of the Seasons
What is your favorite season of year? Why? When this prompt came up last time, I’m pretty sure I waxed poetically about the summer. Or maybe the winter. I love cold weather.

And So I’ll Sit
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. Simple things bring joy to my life. I don’t need anything big, complicated, or expensive to bring me joy. In fact, I’m doing that simple thing right now. I’m sitting. It’s a cool morning and my husband and I are sitting in the… →

Sarah: Unplugged
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? O.k., so now the prompt writers are apparently reading minds??? I was literally just thinking about this early this morning. This upcoming Monday will kick off the summer kids program that I supervise. Hundreds of kids attending about… →

“I Hardly Knew Ya”
Who would you like to talk to soon? There were a couple of people I had in mind for the answer to this. From what I included in my post yesterday about my father-in-law, I’m tempted to say him. I know my husband would have him as his answer. His dad died when he was… →
