Today is Share Your Care Day! I thought it might be a good idea to let you in on how teachers are taught to care for the welfare of their students. Today, I took an online training course on reporting abuse, neglect and exploitation of children. If you see any of your friends (or you)…
My last post probably made you smile. This one will make you both laugh. Yes, Purity. This is you. You were enjoying your chocolate cake that Grandma made for you. I’m pretty sure it was your first birthday. She made you a Mickey and Minnie Mouse cake. Grandma and I were just looking at the…
I was done posting today, but then it started to rain. Lightning was streaking across the sky and thunder erupted behind the clouds. It makes me think about how I used to be afraid of thunder and lightening and how your Grandfather cured me of the fear. Would you like to know how he did…

Whenever I find myself wondering if I should defend myself, I ask myself two questions first: Are you really threatened?(Is my survival or my security at stake?) Do I really care about the outcome? (If I win the battle, does it really matter to me?) I think you understand the concept of survival: Life/Death. Security…
I’d love to take credit for this, but I have to give credit where it is due. This mnemonic belongs to Dr. Wayne Dyer. He’s one of my gurus/teachers. I told you I’d tell you how to address your problems and move on. Here’s an example from my life. I just went down to have…
