Dearest Bea, I was so glad to hear that you are writing. It took me a LONG time to feel like I had anything to really say with my writing. I hope you know that you have so much to say. DO NOT WAIT until you know “the ending” or “the right title” before you…
Hi Purity, Just so you know I was thinking about you today, I put you into my writing lesson. The kids had to describe a main character in a story they are writing. I made a brainstorming map about you and described how you look. Then, I wrote a paragraph. You sound pretty amazing, don’t…
There was a really pretty rainbow in sky on my way from work. Maybe like the moon on Christmas night, you can see the rainbow in the sky too. It’s a connection to me, sweet sisters. Just slide along that rainbow’s arches in your imagination and land right onto my little house’s doorstep. We’re just…
Good day today. Really wet though! I had to stay in with the kiddos most of the day and then I had to stay after school for Drama Club. But you know how I love that! The plays are really taking off. The kids were taught today to really ham it up in front of…

Oh no! Not to you, sweet sisters! Never that! No! My favorite TV show on PBS is starting its last season tonight. I’ve even gotten Grandma and older brother’s fiancé into it. I’m not sure you’d like it though. It’s about an English family that lives in a big house called Downton Abbey. But we…
Day 2 of year of health: my goal is simple, live healthier, yet I just had four shortbread cookies. I can’t do THAT everyday. I’d better take a walk around the neighborhood once I finish posting. Today was good. I took some stuff to the Domestic Violence shelter for the women who find themselves needing…
Well, our winter break holidays are winding down. Gotta try to hold on as long as we can. My year of health has kicked off well. I did some yoga yesterday. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried this. It really makes you feel good. Just be gentle with yourself. This is Colleen Saidman Yee,…
