Our Little World of Love
Fresh faced and barely just a girl myself – I discovered a world of love in my classroom. Through the years, I’ve felt nothing but love from my students. I’ve been privileged to get front row seats to their journey – if but for a small slice of time. These are now doctors, educators, socialContinue reading “Our Little World of Love”

Hello Fear – Not Today
A friend shared this picture of the his view rising up early in Australia. We each have a view that we wake up to in the morning. For many it is a view that is sprinkled with hope, passion and peace.

Not always
As we move towards the end of the year, I love to reflect. How have I grown? Any lessons learned in this amazing classroom called life?

Reflection of Me
It is my belief that plants were gifted to us as message of love from God. When you don’t know what to get me – get me plants. These were all gifted to me at some point, primarily by my students. It tells me that they hear me. This morning I glanced at the ‘lady’Continue reading “Reflection of Me”
