SOLSC ~ 2012 ~ 31/31
For the second straight year, I find myself both relieved to have written my way through March and slightly sad to see this challenge come to a close. My sadness is a bit heightened today due to the fact that I completely forgot to post yesterday. The exciting prospect of having the week ahead to […]

I come from the future sitting here in my comfortable home, hands curled around a steaming mug of coffee as I enjoy my first morning of spring break. Despite the freedom I know I’ll find in the coming week ahead, I’m heay-hearted as I write to you today. My spirit aches with regret that you, […]
SOLSC ~ 2012 ~ 29/31
Everyone is tired and getting ready to enjoy a week of relaxation for spring break. Many are leaving early. Many are staying home. Add to the fact that our third marking period is coming to a close and we’re finding ourselves in crunch time to get everything in – and it’s a recipe for busy […]

The way you’d always manage to rib me in the loving way only a grandfather could. Just recently, on Calder’s birthday, I […]

After reading, and re-reading the Hunger Games trilogy, I am beyond ready for the midnight movie premier TONIGHT!! Well, that’s to say that I’m excited. I’ll admit, after the blazing heat, trekking through the fire station and family farm store on a pre-school field trip, an impromptu appointment at the salon and now catching […]

Last summer, I had the privilege of once again participating in a Lake Michigan Writing Project Invitational Summer Institute. As a facilitator of this four-week teaching and writing institute this was a chance to talk, read, write, laugh, cry and learn with other educators in a variety of subject areas and grade levels. At the […]

I walked into the coffee shop, grateful for the breeze the swinging door provided against the heat the afternoon sun doled out in plenty – slightly strange, but welcome this late March day. My eyes adjusted to the lighting and fell upon the smiling face of a former student and fellow writer. Having texted back […]
