I Forgot!

That’s right. I forgot. I forgot how hard it was to write lesson plans, create learning centers, and gather up all the materials. I am teaching my Young Authors Workshop in Boston next week during school vacation. I have six little gifted authors and want to give them a great writing experience.

Choose – You Can

I just got home from my Cape Cod Children’s Writers critique group. Since I’m not writing right now because I’m illustrating, I didn’t bring a piece to share. I brought some of my artwork for the book I’m working on, shared that and sat back to listen carefully to the readings of the night.

Eleven years ago I fell in love with a car. I’ll never forget that day. I had the first Honda CRV that came out and I brought it down for a service. It was the only SUV I ever had. I always drove Accords. I hated that “truck”, as I called it. That day, in . . . → Read More: More & More & More Letting Go

Time & Seasons

Awhile back I wrote about the seven ways to wrestle in prayer. The first one was to seek wisdom from God. The second one was to rejoice in God’s time and seasons. That’s where I continued to get stuck. Rejoicing in God’s time and seasons means, to me, hands off – don’t worry about it. . . . → Read More: Time & Seasons
