It’s been a couple of days since I attended the midnight premier of The Hunger Games movie, and I while I’m still not sure I’m ready to write up my review, I suppose I’d best write it now before I lose my thoughts on it completely and seek other inspiration for the final week […]

Holey Moley! This was a close one today! Not that I’m posting any later than I have on other days, but tonight I truly, nearly FORGOT to post!! Perhaps it’s the fact that I arrived home around 3am after meeting up with seven of my students who dragged their parents to the midnight premier of […]

As we settle in around the dinner table, my thoughts wander back to our lunchtime conversation. “Now remember what we talked about today, Seneca. You’ll have a little bit of chicken, a little bit of vegetables, and stuffing.” “Mm-kay,” she says in a way that’s clearly more out of habit than true intent to follow […]

Driving home from work today, enjoying another day of splendid sun, I allowed my mind to wander. I thought back to a friend’s post on Facebook, where she talked about her favorite flower. I remember thinking it was so unique that I too began to claim it as a favorite. I thought about another college […]

The final week of the term. The week before spring break. It’s always an interesting time of year. We’re all ready for warmer weather and a chance to catch our breath before the busy pace of spring sets in. Thankfully, we’ve had some well-timed snow days throughout this winter, so it does seem as though […]

The sun streamed through the kitchen windows throwing welcome bits of warmth across the floor where Calder and I sat catching up about the day. The joy in his little smile as I gave him undivided attention reminded me it’s something I should do much more often instead of offering a pat, “Just a second,” […]

Today I enjoyed a wonderfully quiet birthday. It’s amazing to me how much the simple inner celebration is almost more meaningful now than any of the crazy birthday parties I once had. I’m beyond blessed to have such a loving family, great friends, and a job that allows me to combine all my creative passions […]

The day stretches before me full of promise and productivity. The work looms above me undone and uncertainty The sunlight streams around me full of hope and happiness. I’d love to know your thoughts on this. If this poem were a reflection of my real life, the second and third stanzas would be reversed…as the […]

I woke up this morning thinking it would be a “just-get-through-it” kind of of day. Everything seems to be coming to a close within the next two weeks, and while that means there should be a rather restful time in the near future, it seems there are an equal number of projects on the horizon. […]

Wednesday morning, she’s standing near my desk as class begins. “Mrs. Cornwell, I have a serious problem.” Concerned, I offer, “What’s up?” “I really need a new love story to read,” she responds. Grinning, I greet her eager eyes with slow smile both because she totally got me, which is totally her style, and because […]
