I saw a lot of lists around the slice community today. Since it feels like a listy-kind-of-Tuesday, here’s mine.

Hello there! May you find inspiration to celebrate your story, even in the middle of the muddle.
I’m the director of a professional development consortium of 30 schools in northern Indiana committed to empowering student-centered learning. I write books, articles and other stuff because I’m sure stories + teachers make the world a better place. Most importantly, I’m completely charmed by my forever family. Welcome to my corner of the world.
Discover. Play. Build. is full of resources to make teaching writers manageable and enjoyable. You’ll find video minilessons, downloadable resources and even a preview copy of my new book!
Those non-apostrophe fonts drive me crazy too!
Great list, Ruth. It encompasses so many aspects of your life. 🙂
Some things on the list I identify with so much…some are uniquely you…great list!
I couldn't stand it…had to fix it. (I also couldn't stand to leave it, even if just for a few minutes without acknowledging that the apostrophes were missing.) It's correct now. Shew!
It is a “listy” time of year isn't it? This is the kind of list you need by your desk as a reminder. Love all the fonts and positive messages.
What a great collection of thoughts. I like that you used some digital scrapbooking supplies too (or at least it looks like it). I enjoyed the blend of thoughts and fonts.
Great list.
Sort of like poetry and painting all at the same time. Loved the lines at the top. Like sewing, or trying to form a letter, but you only got lines.
Ok, first this is super cool. I have no knowledge of how you even created this but I love the actual artifact. Second, I love so many of your “items” but the one that spoke to me most was the last one, “Publication doesn't make a writer.” I so needed that, thanks! 🙂
Um, yeah, this is like so cool. Love your list and how you created it!
I hope you can sometimes share 'how' you did this. I love the content but it's even more exciting & deliberate when you present it so well. I like that you included all parts of your life.
Creative presentation and meaningful content combined. “I am good enough and My faith matters” resonated with me.
Three that spoke to me – The sunshine makes me smile, I am good enough, and I am happy in the kitchen. One that scared me – I can give more.
“I like being a little salty” – unique addition to a list!
Such a great list! I love “It's important to spend your life doing things that you are best at.” And how you followed that with “I love teaching.” And “Everyone has rocky patches in life. This is ok.” (need to remember that one!). Like several others, I would love to know how to do this so it looks like yours! Perfect!
It feels a bit like a lists kind of week too. This one gets my creative juices flowing.
I love the date line at the top and I really think the muliple fonts create a very cool vibe. My favorite line has the word 'salty' in it. I like that your are salty and also that you stand up for things that are right and write ! xo nanc
What a wonderful list – so many we should all adopt!
I am not original in my comments. I also love the list and want to know how you did it.
