Today I feel like ranting. My problem is really about me. In an effort to be charitable, understanding and Christlike, I often find myself feeling less than charitable, frustrated, and sometime, plain angry. In a way, it's my fault. It's my fault for giving people the benefit of the doubt. It's my fault for trying… Continue reading Thief… A Rant
At the end of a school year I am very ready for summer. The trouble is, my summers are more of the same thing I did all school year long due to the fact that I continue teaching theatre for a children's theatre group. For whatever reason, this year I am extra tired and just… Continue reading Summer bucket List
I hear a lot of whining these days. It seems that many young people believe others are out to get them... Or, they believe life isn't fair. Dude! The fair is in August. I don't get it. I keep hearing the same childish behaviors from little people, teens and even young adults; behavior such as… Continue reading Adulting 101: Crisis
This morning my heart hurts. Last week, a community volunteer called to say that $32 was stolen from her purse while she was helping with rehearsal on Friday. No one step forward to give the money back. This morning, I went to put some cash in my bag. I have a special pouch that I… Continue reading Betrayal

They have… Continue reading Fantasy Exploration
We are approaching the end of the semester and kids are "suddenly" concerned with how their grades are doing. This is a serious issue. When a teacher plans for information to be learned throughout a semester, there is no possible way it could be learned in a couple of weeks. Mastery of the subject is… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Time Management
Sorry to burden you all again, but it's time to get out the soap box about education again. I've done a fair bit of stomping for the arts in past posts. Be sure to go back and check them out here and here and here. I am a definite fan of music and theatre in the… Continue reading It’s Time to Bring Back and Rethink Home Economic Classes
This morning I observed a city council meeting that the entire senior and junior classes were invited to listen and to comment. A couple of things caught my attention. 1) It was apparent that many of these kids do not understand what city government can do vs what is the responsibility of other governmental agencies.… Continue reading We the People
I am finding that many do not value punctuality. I find that we fail to see that punctuality is related to discipline and self mastery, to integrity and respect. Punctuality is a character trait real adults develop. Real adults are on time! William Makepeace Thayer stated, "The habit of being prompt once formed extends to… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Real Adults are on Time
How we handle other people's success, especially when things may not be going the way we hoped, is an indicator of our maturity and our own confidence and belief in ourselves. So... what can you do when the green-eyed monster of jealousy rears it's ugly head when you see others thrive with opportunities, get recognition,… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Successful People Celebrate the Success of Others
