One dream come true!

I am thrilled to announce the publication of my first two childrens' books. This is a fulfillment of a dream that I have had since I was twelve years old! If anyone is interested in a copy please get in touch via my email, I will be delighted. Meanwhile, those realizations that take the longest are definitely the most worthwhile.

Urgent note to my parents....

Don't ask me to do what I can't do

Only ask me to do what I can.

Don't ask me to be what I can't be

Only ask me to be what I am.

Don't one minute say "Be a big girl"

And the next, "you're to little for that"

Please don't ask me to be where I can't be

Please be happy with right where I'm at.

* Well let's think about it!!! We adults are always asking the children to do things that, to them, are very contradictory ...a definite fact!!! Only yesterday I heard one of my students say ..."Humph, these adults are all crazy...none of them know what they really want"...!!!

Teacher's Prayer

Lord, Please help me

To strengthen their voices

bodies and minds.

To express their feelings and

control them sometimes.

To explore what's near

and venture afar,

But most important to love

who they really are.

*Don't know who wrote this....but I thought it was great.

Point of View

Have you lost the art of living?

Does the world seem cruel to you?

Try forgetting and forgiving

It may change your point of view.

Does the future look depressing?

Can't you see a bit of blue?

Start to count up every blessing

It may change your point of view.

Are you sunk in deep dejection?

Bored with what you have to do?

Try some honest introspection

It may change your point of view.

Do you crave for fun distractions?

Always out for something new?

Seek for simple satisfactions

It may change your point of view.

Tired of working? Tired of playing?

Wondering where Life's leading to?

Try a little quiet praying

God will change your point of view.

Patience Strong.
