As seasons change, chapters close, new doors open and fresh new challenges present themselves—we find ourselves prone to forget how we got over in the first place. We quickly lose sight of Who walked us through the last rodeo. I’m sure you’ve noticed that life consists of a series of strategically designed battles. To maintainContinue reading “Never Forget”

Not All Will Believe
This marks the last few days of May. As we move into the coming months, many of us have to make some major decisions. In my previous post, I mentioned that the end of the school year can signify the end of a season and the beginning of another. For some it breeds excitement, othersContinue reading “Not All Will Believe”
Beginning of the End
For the last three and a half years, I have taught real time virtual classes [RTV]. This means from the 2019-2020 school year, I have sat before a computer engaging my students in real time. We had a blast and have indeed built an amazing relationship. We became family. Through the pandemic and beyond we’veContinue reading “Beginning of the End”
You Did It
Here in the eastern US, graduations are in full swing. I see the joy beaming on many faces- graduates and families alike. It makes me want to graduate all over again – if I could do it without going to school. Truthfully, it’s not so much going to school – it’s the tests, homework andContinue reading “You Did It”
Not Only for Himself
Sometime ago my son was looking at some pictures of his childhood and had some questions. He was amazed how the friends he had around him then are all still connected in some ways over 30 years later. He wanted to know the story of the beginnings of ‘his village’. Yesterday, we gathered to celebrateContinue reading “Not Only for Himself”
In My Eyes
This is one of the those weeks. Have you ever had one of those when you need one more of you? Some things can’t be delegated. So here I am squeezing in a few minutes to connect with my WP village and others who take the time to read the reflections of my heart. AsContinue reading “In My Eyes”
This Pain
Many of us might have noticed that some of our millennials and Gen Zs are deliberately opting not to have children. At least, not in their twenties. Their reasons and stories vary. I hear them and no judgement here. However, I’ve lived long enough to see and hear the stories of regrets expressed by seniorsContinue reading “This Pain”
How Sweet it is…!
The title of this popular 1960’s song ‘How sweet it is to be loved by you‘ truly captures how many teachers in our county felt this week. We were celebrated and, at my school, well fed. Most of us don’t do this to be seen or even praised. We show up simply because we loveContinue reading “How Sweet it is…!”
Pure Joy
One of the millennials in my life recently shared this picture. The moment I saw it, my immediate response was ‘pure joy’. This was laughter that came from a deep place. I didn’t get permission to share her name, so I’ll call her ‘ Serenity’. This was a moment filled with true joy. ‘Serenity’ madeContinue reading “Pure Joy”
Wisdom Speaks
I remember her then; filled with vigor and vitality – quiet, calm and filled with love and wisdom. It was 1978– that was 45 years ago. Where did the time go? Today she’s 83 years old. Staring at her picture, I wondered what consumed her thoughts back then. Probably, she was concerned about her 4Continue reading “Wisdom Speaks”
