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!
Yes, comfort is our “middle name.” It is so easy to get caught-up in comfort–and to not even realize it…
Someone I love dearly just got diagnosed with breast cancer…Money is very tight…Tonight my husband and I were discussing how much/IF we could give. It is so easy to just say or think, “We really can't afford that; we're raising our own four children.” That is seriously what I started thinking…
Then I began thinking, you know, we are comfortable…Most Americans are comfortable…It's so easy to say, “We can't afford that,” when we have so much we take for granted and really, honestly, don't even need.
Your post confirms that heart tug I felt when discussing this need with my husband a few hours ago…
Thanks for sharing such a simple post! I needed it!
Nice! Thanks –
Thought-provoking.
Very reflective and blessed.
Beautiful. And so very true. Just back from Maundy Thursday services…
Radical. 🙂
It gets to your very core.
That book was at the root of my discontented slice today…
What if…?
