Jul 30, 2021Teacher BrainSummer is almost over, that delightful and sacred time between school years when teachers relax, rest and refresh themselves before once again beginning with a new group of students. It has been a particularly enjoyable summer break for me this year. But now I must re-engage what I call Teacher Brain. At the end of a school year, after intense months of lesson planning and implementing and helping young minds learn and grow, I have to give Teacher Brain a break. So I turn it off. But now July is over and August is starting and so is another school year. I’ve sent my brain the message: Teacher Brain on!

It is part of your personal history to share about the lives of your dogs, cats, birds, reptiles or whatever kind of pets you have. Jun 24, 2021Walk, Run, Ride and ReflectOne of my favorite themes is the importance of walking, running or riding for health. I find that getting outdoors for a walk, run or bike ride gives a different perspective to the world and life. It is much needed so that I don't get too much in my head, which unfortunately is often a problem for me. The health benefits are much more than physical. There is gain for my emotional, mental and spiritual state. Frankly, I find it is all connected. Jun 18, 2021Juneteenth Now a National HolidayToday, for the first time in the United States, Juneteenth will be observed as a National Holiday. How did that come about? The bill was signed into law yesterday by President Biden after it passed through Congress. Jun 14, 2021Family, Flag and CountryToday is my parent's wedding day. If they were still alive they'd be married 71 years! They did make it to 56 before Mom passed away. That anniversary is tomorrow and it is hard to believe it's been 15 years.
