DIane, what great goals these are! As you might have seen in my post, I think that goals become elusive for people when they are to abstract. I really love how these goals are specific and measurable. For […]
Riding a carousel is fun, the first few loops around. As you spin and spin, reliving the same scenery as you whirl around a rotating center, the journey loses a little bit of its charm. The journey of Catherine […]
I think it is the spontaneity and unexpectedness in which one’s life changes that makes hitting the jackpot so appealing. We enter casinos, buy raffle chances, and play the lottery for the mere chance of getting […]
I am glad to take any suggestions on this one, wise classmates, since I am absolutely horrible at balancing work and family. Even as I write this, it is Saturday night and my boyfriend is sitting on the couch next […]
Isn’t that amazing!? I became a year-round soccer fan during the World Cup 1998 when my dad spent the whole month screaming at the TV cheering on Portugal and Argentina (his birth country and the country of his […]
Korea is definitely on my list as well. I have had many Korean friends in my life, and their passion for their culture is contagious. Many of my students are also Korean and I love watching their proud […]

I think that as girls, we could write a whole SERIES of books dedicated to the topic of scheming and dreaming about developing relationships. Your post made me realize that this is really a market with […]
Wow that sounds like an awesome book. Thanks for the great review. I didn’t know how rare it was to have more than one child who is autistic. A teacher I work with has twins who are both autistic. I give a lot of […]
It is so very thoughtful of you to want to spend so much of your money on others. I also think you are very wise to save. I, too, do my best to save. I’m such a nerd in the sense that I think it’s fun to create […]
