"Everything is sparkling with diamond light." - Meaghan Smith Happy Tuesday! Let me start by saying that even though we are past the holidays, I still love wintry songs this time of year. Now, what I never used to love is the actual snow part...like not at all. And while I can't say I have… Continue reading It Snowed Last Night
Hi friends! Happy New Year! I know it's been more than a minute since I have last jumped on here. Life gets so busy (I feel like I say that a lot), and before you know it a lot of time has passed. But, it's a goal for the new year to write and post more,… Continue reading Live a Life You Love
A little fun fact about me: I love Shakespeare. While doing my undergraduate work, I majored in English AND Elementary Education, and whereas I wasn't reading Shakespeare in my children's lit classes, I was reading it in all the others. So, I still find myself quoting or referencing his works whenever the occasion arises. Now,… Continue reading A Midsummer Day’s…Reflection

We always tend to set our intentions for the year on December 31st, but in reality how many of us can plan an entire year… Continue reading “To everything…there is a season.”
The semicolon. It's probably one of the least-used types of punctuation in written language. I'm not quite sure what the reason for that is. Maybe we just don't know what to do with it or when to use it. Maybe we should treat it with a little more respect like the period, or the exclamation… Continue reading The Power of Pause
FOMO: The fear of missing out. There is a good chance we have all been there at some point in our lives. Ahh, social media...the greatest blessing and curse. A party with no invite. A vacation while you sit at home. A pandemic that has canceled A LOT. FOMO. But...what if, just for today, we… Continue reading JOMO: FOMO’s Better Half
As I was doing some reading yesterday for one of my post-graduate courses, I read something that REALLY hit me. I mean, like stepping-out-into-zero-degree-weather hit me. Dr. Brene Brown, in her book Daring Greatly, shares a story about how her daughter's teacher used to use a "marble jar" as a form of classroom management. Each… Continue reading Marble Jar Friends
