Top 10 Things I’m Not Worrying About

10. Emotionally manipulative people who use passive aggression as their coping mechanisms. 9. Thirteen year olds who roll their eyes at me when they don’t like me disciplining them. I know it’s disrespectful and that it’s the only power they feel like they can wield over me, but it’s laughable when a kid is mad [...]

Joss Stone

It’s funny that the song stuck in my head these days is by Joss Stone because the first song I posted in this new category of mine is from her boyfriend, Raphael Saadiq. I love her old sounding voice. It’s deep and throaty and there’s no way a girl this young should understand the lyrics [...]

My Work With Students Is Never Done

In May I received a letter at work from a former student of mine from when I worked at a high school previous to my current job. Kayse was a freshman when I started working with her and I spent three years total doing that. During her senior year I left to work at a [...]

Spa Weekend

Every year at the end of July I take a weekend trip with a group of friends. We started doing this after teaching together at the same school and then, one by one, we drifted off to different pastures. I went to a different school and so did a few others. Some of our group [...]

I Will If You Will

Over the summer I got totally involved in Pinterest. So much so that I made it my homepage on my browsers. That’s plural. I have three browsers that I use because some work better than others depending on what I’m working on for both work and professional use. To say Pinterest is addictive is an [...]

Responses to Issues of Racism: Part II

There’s no order to the comments and responses that I’m writing because I tried doing them in order and that didn’t work. At first I would copy and paste and then try to answer them in order but that didn’t work, either. For example, I have already addressed Stacey’s comment in Part I, but I [...]

Raphael Saadiq

I have long since had a crush on Raphael Saadiq ever since the days of Tony! Toni! Tone! But this song keeps surprising me this week. It’s Motown-y and 50′s bubblegum pop and skipping down the street while popping your fingers all rolled into one. Be bop around to this song.   Movin’ Down the [...]

What I Learned about the MinuteClinics

Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with the people at MinuteClinic to learn about their walk-in medical clinics. Theyโ€™re located inside select CVS/pharmacy stores. After meeting with them, I was compensated to participate in a video and to write this post to share what I learned with my readers.   The meeting included me [...]

Chandelier

My friend, Krista, has the most beautiful bubble chandelier in her home right above her kitchen table. The yellow walls and bubbles make for a happy home.

The Cuban Writes

Recently, I have made mention of the fact that my email has never been more flooded with personal messages than when I posted twice on racial issues. Make that twice in one week. There are too many to count. In fact, I don’t have a count, but I am saving them for when I can [...]
