Who is this person?
“I am that person now…” When I get an idea for a post, I create a new post and type my ideas and then save the draft for later. The phrase up above is something I typed recently. The thought came to my mind as I’ve spent time reflecting on who I am. If you’ve… →

Whistle (or Rage Sing) While You Work
What do you listen to while you work? When I work, there are a variety of things I listen to. It really just depends on what type of work I’m doing. When I was a teacher and worked on lesson plans on Saturday afternoons, I always watched one of a few favorite movies. “You’ve Got… →

A Reunion and a First Meeting
If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite? There’s a breakfast/brunch restaurant where I live called Maple Street. Such good food! They have a unique way of announcing whose order is ready. There is always a question on the wall for you to answer when… →

Zzzz…Zzzz…
What time do you go to bed and wake up currently? I taught an intro to crocheting class this week to a group of 10-15 year olds. From talking to them for the past four days and hearing about their own personal bedtimes, I might as well be 100 years old with the time I… →

We Listen and We Don’t Judge
What is your favorite genre of music? My middle school students asked me one time what my favorite song is. I asked them to be more specific. Like, what is my favorite country song? Or what is my favorite pop song? My favorite song from the 90s? Boy band song? Rap? They were insistent that… →

All Things Yarn
On what subject(s) are you an authority? I had to look up the definition of authority for this one. What does it mean exactly to be an authority on something? Google says it means you “possess expert knowledge, experience, and credibility in that area, allowing for informed opinions and influence over others.” By that definition,… →

Romance never dies!
Ah romance. Lots of things are romantic to me. However, I need more context with this question. Am I explaining what’s romantic at the beginning of a relationship when that whole honeymoon feeling is intense and almost anything your sweetie does for you seems like the greatest thing ever? Or am I describing romance now,… →

Don’t Worry, Be Happy
What does it say about me if my answer is that I’m not worried about the future? Would someone say that’s my privilege showing? That I should consider myself fortunate that I’m not worried about the future? Certainly there are things I could be worried about. I live in the United States, the politics of… →
