Over the years different individuals have asked me to teach virtually – I’d always say no. By nature, I love the feel of the classroom energy. My students have a whole vibe of their own. I want to see their eyes, read their body language, watch the way they relate to each other and embraceContinue reading “From A Distance”

Becoming
Truthfully, I’ve never thought about about ‘giving an impression’. I have found it very easy to be me; it’s too much energy to be otherwise. People may like my flavor, or not. It’s too much a burden for me to be constantly concerned about people’s impression of me. The best of us are initially misunderstoodContinue reading “Becoming”
The Change
“I sit in Your presence bathed in your peace. Desiring the changed me that ‘can run with the horsemen’. When you choose not to change my situation – change me to ride with the waves. May I develop ‘hinds’ feet’ so I can leap over walls and traverse the difficult terrains of this life. GiveContinue reading “The Change”
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”

Here in the eastern US, graduations are in full swing. I see the joy beaming on many faces- graduates and families alike.

I was in a NYC airport yesterday when two things caught my eye. There was a beloved pay phone—one I haven’t seen in a while. Without saying, I had to snap a shot of it. My grandchildren will undoubtedly have know idea what one looks like; thought I’d capture it for them. Truth be toldContinue reading “What Once Was”
New Beginnings
The month September comes from the Latin word septem, meaning ‘seven’. So why is it the ninth month? Historians say September was originally the seventh month on the Roman calendar. Go figure! It only had ten months then with March as the first month of the year. Some say January and February were added later,Continue reading “New Beginnings”
Changes
Change is inevitable. It cannot be avoided or evaded forever. For many of us, it is uncomfortable. We may need a minute to adjust, accept or just to reorient ourselves. That’s okay. Many of us are creatures of habit – it gives us a sense of control and keeps us centered. However, if we liveContinue reading “Changes”
A Better Me
Day -26 ‘Favorite Thing About Me’ #bloganuary2022 I’m not sure when or why. Maybe it’s motherhood. Possibly it’s because of the times I’ve failed miserably. Could be that I have come to embrace the fact that I am inherently fractured – flawed. Probably it is the amazing privilege I’ve been afforded to cross paths withContinue reading “A Better Me”
