Just sharing some thoughts
I use to look at teachers working in the public school system with such awe, of how can they do this, year after year, were they even human? :)
for years I wanted to do what they were doing, but couldn't and thought I must be missing a gene to be able to do that. No matter how I tried, and was focusing on the positive aspects... it simply did not work. I could not play the game. I would voice my opinons to the boss and principle, I could not keep my mouth shut. Rather… Continue

My new pal, Missy, kindly let me know that lengthy notes with swell graphics backup BlackBerries big-time! Live & learn something new every day as a Facebook rookie ;-) Let me know if this one comes through without too much hang-time. The iLiF Survey had a good run, and I want to express heartfelt Thanks to Everyone who participated, both actively and/or as a silent encourager. Your energy lifts me up!
It was a great exercise for me in testing my communication skills and overall inte… Continue

I have been on this journey working in schools that are part of the public school system. I am taking my notes of what I do like. I voice my opinion about things at one job,there, I have been the minority in that, or at least it seems to be like that so far. I got a new job, but they don't know I look at it as paid field work. I will be quiet and take my mental notes. I already went to one meeting, and the way they were all looking over tests scores, it was like a bunch of ants over a potatoe ch… Continue

This is a bloody good question
These are the single most pressing issues we face in the world today
The rampant and unchecked environmental destruction wrought by humanity along with our soon to be exhausted natural resources are, in the words of one eloquent critic;

This interview took place last year -- Nik, the thoughtful go-getter you may recognize from my Independence Day review of his new best-seller, The Thrillionaire, is a bona fide Certified Civilian Cosmonaut now! That leaves all but two items checked off his original Bucket List!! The full list is covered in an interview with Ridgely Goldsborough, which also introduc… Continue

Here's an email I sent to a new friend (she and her daughter were featured on Oprah's show, "Obese Families in Crisis" last week and we connected on the forum!) I decided to use this for a blog post and future reference for others who ask for information on this amazingly simple, brilliant, and easy way of attaining the ultimate goal of feelin' fit & fabulous forever :-D
Cheers ~

Greetings,
You know I was able to share last year's "Two Step" novel with a friend and fellow novelist. It helped be the ice breaker of our relationship. It was such a wonderful feeling to be able to share my draft with him and gave us something ...
