Performing Arts Education Matters!
I am passionate about education. I believe that the main mission of education should be to spark in students a desire to be a life-long-learner. Education is more than English, science and math. Education needs to inspire students to educated themselves - ongoing, voluntary and self-motivated. Students who understand how to learn and how to… Continue reading Performing Arts Education Matters!
Strength Through the Journey
Yesterday my daughter and I were standing in the kitchen discussion different life experiences. I asked her if she regretted having gone through some of those experiences. "Nope. They made me stronger. I learned something." She gets it! Becoming a Warrior Woman means understanding that it is in the journey that we gain the strength.… Continue reading Strength Through the Journey
Positive Talk
I have a confession. My mind is never quiet. There is a constant stream of dialogue running through my brain at all times. I guess you could say I talk to myself. What can I say? I'm a good listener. LOL. I know I'm not special in this regard. As all have a set of… Continue reading Positive Talk
Wrapping up August in fresh veggies
It is great to live in a beautiful place where many things grow. This week we enjoyed fresh plums, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, zucchini, yellow summer squash, onions, green beans, raspberries and strawberries. I didn't really make "recipes" for meals. Some meals were just 1/2 a cantaloupe and a spoon. 🙂 Other meals… Continue reading Wrapping up August in fresh veggies

(I read that their… Continue reading Do You Hear the Crickets Sing?
Get Moving With Fitbit
When I first started this whole "fitness" and "healthy" living kick this past spring, I was not interested in exercise one bit. Everything hurt to move. Why would I want to increase movement? Why would I want to sign up to be shamed for my lack of mobility? My husband had a Fitbit. My son… Continue reading Get Moving With Fitbit
Amazing Little People are Getting Big
Today for Family Friday I have to celebrate two little people that always make me smile. Tomorrow this handsome little guy will turn 1 year old! A year ago this weekend, I drove away from Beckett's house, leaving his proud, yet exhausted parents and his older sister behind to love and care for him. I… Continue reading Amazing Little People are Getting Big
An Actor’s Rules to Enlighten and Inspire
School starts next week. I am not convinced the kids at school are ready for the start of a new year. We are now in week 2 for our fall production of Addams Family the Musical at school and I am noticing that some of the students are not as enthusiastic as I would hope… Continue reading An Actor’s Rules to Enlighten and Inspire
Warrior Mom
Today's Warrior Wednesday is dedicated to my friend Callie, and all other women who brave the birthing process that brings life all of God's sons and daughters on this earth. I woke up this morning to see a Facebook post that Callie had her baby with the help of her family and the paramedics at… Continue reading Warrior Mom
