I’m a teacher and even when I wasn’t in a classroom it was how I defined so much of my “who”.  Now I am back, full time, in junior high.  And, oh how I love it.  And I really, really do love it.  My students amaze me; they indulge me; they send me on flights of fancy; and they inspire me.

Priscilla was once my student (see how even when I speak of those long since moved on there is such pride of belonging?) and she inspires me with her images of beauty and her passion for life.  You can find her here: http://43concept.com/houseoftulips/.  Today she reminded me that I should not be afraid to speak.

Its hard to find the balance between what to share and how much.  This was always intended to be a blog about my family but I am so very conscious of writing someone else’s story when I talk about family that the awareness stops me from sharing anything at all.  I’d like to do better.
