President’s Day (Week) Activities

We have done several activities this week to help celebrate President’s Day.

Monday, we played a game where we learned about heads and tails.  I made up my own version last year:

I have small 3oz. bathroom cups for each child and one penny.  They put the penny in the cup and shake a few times and dump it out on their paper.  They record on the graph; by cutting out the appropriate picture.  The penny side that gets its graphing column filled up first is the “winner”.

Wednesday, we played the water dropper game.  Each child made a prediction about how many water drops they thought it would take to fill up one side of a penny before the water spilled over the side.  They wrote down their prediction and then the actual number.  I used droppers–I got them from Steve Spangler Science (less than $10.00 for 100 of them).

(In this picture you see we are using plastic medicine droppers–this is from last year–I forgot to take pictures!!)

Thursday, we noticed that some of the pennies were dirty, so we started thinking about ways to clean them.  We made a list of things we could try:

hair spray

water (hot, cold, and soapy)

lemon juice

baking soda

We will be trying these out tomorrow and letting them sit over the weekend, so we’ll see what the results are!!  Tomorrow, before we begin, we will make a hypothesis and some predictions about what will happen.

Hi! :)

Hi Everyone!

I promise to post something soon! 🙂  Not only am I working full time, I am taking 9 hours of grad classes, so between those two, I hardly have time to breathe let alone post something.  I have a window coming up this weekend  where I will try to post some ideas we will be doing next week for Presidents Day-ish things (yes, we will be in school on the 21st–make up snow day!) and it’s kind of nice to have an extra day to learn about the presidents!

Heads and Tails Penny Graph

Here is my version of the Heads and Tails Penny graph I used during our President’s Day theme.  If the pictures don’t come across, I would take the boxes that you see on the chart and stamp a penny heads and tails image in only the first boxes on the top section and in an entire row on the bottom section.  Make sense?  If not, check out my President’s Day category for a picture! 🙂

President’s Day #4 and #5

Thursday, we completed the graph that went with our Patten Block Snowflake (PDF page under “P”).

We also read Silly Sally and I showed the children how to act out the story using the Drama Props.  We also did Cut Up Sentences and we really got some of the sentences mixed up! 🙂  We also completed our first 6×6 Sudoku puzzle (using shapes) and have started on another one.

We also checked in on the Monarch Butterflies in Mexico and watched a slideshow from

We watched a movie about Dental Health and will talk more about that and Nutrition next week. I reviewed some of the basic topics covered in the movie (I got it from Colgate a few years ago, along with teeth brushing booklets and toothpaste samples and coupons and a board game).  They still offer them, however you have to request them in September to be sure to get them in February each year.  They are available in English and Spanish.

I also spent some time after school organizing my books by month/theme.  They were like this already on the bookshelf, but I couldn’t find them when I needed them, so I decided to switch to this:

I’m still working on it, but basically each month has it’s own tub/or theme has it’s own tub and they are in the order that I use them in the year.  I am in the process of dumping things out of other tubs to steal them to use for this project! 🙂  When the month changes, I can just pull the tub I need and set it on my bench and pull books from there all month long and then put it back on the shelf when I’m done with it and pull the next tub.  I also need to have a general tub for books that can be read anytime.  My hope is to take up some of the next shelf as well and add more books to each tub that are scattered around the room in several places.  Today, after school, I plan on tackling the Library Work Station to reclaim my Arthur and Clifford books–hey, those are in tubs–I can steal those tubs too! 🙂

On Friday, I had the children play a different heads/tails game:

The children had to shake a penny in their small Dixie cup and then pour it out gently on their paper.  They then had to cut out the appropriate picture and glue it on their graph.  After 10 minutes, I stopped them and they totaled up their graphs and wrote those numbers down.  We again, made a class graph to show the results of everyone’s papers and found that heads was again, most likely to come up! 🙂

I also introduced the children to a game I learned from my friend Karen Berman, called Enchanted Forest:

You will need Attribute Blocks:

or some other manipulative that has at least two attributes (like these farm animals have two sizes and are 8 kinds of animals, and come in several colors):

Here’s how you play:

1. Each child randomly picks one attribute block (I dump them all out on the floor and have a few children at a time choose one)

2. They put the block on the floor in front of them and you look to see what attributes you have to choose from (thick, thin, red, blue, yellow, big, little, etc.)

3. Choose an attribute and do not tell the children what it is.  (for example, thin, yellow shapes)  You can pick one, two, or three attributes.

4. Have each child one at a time ask you, “Will this key get me into the Enchanted Forest?”

5. If the shape meets your criteria, then you answer yes and that child lays their shape on the floor in front of you.

6. If you say “No”, then the child returns the shape to you and you put it away.

7.  Let everyone have a chance to ask and then ask if anyone knows what the “key” was.

8. I then put the shapes back on the floor and we play again and again and again!  They beg to play! 🙂

Have a great weekend!

Kristen 🙂

Presidents Day #2 and #3

I was out this week on Tuesday and it was just chaos in my room and I cringe thinking about the guest teacher I had that day. 😦   They did complete the Pattern Block Snowflake and several Sudoku puzzles while I was away.  You can find the snowflake on the PDF page under “P”.  Click on it twice to make it actual size.

Wednesday, I was back and we picked up with President’s Day activities again.

The children played a game where they had to stand a penny on it’s side and then bump the table.  They tallied whether it fell heads or tails side up.  I let them do this for 15 minutes and then we counted up our tallies on our papers and wrote that number at the bottom.  We then brought our papers to the floor and tallied up what everyone had written down and made a class total.  In our room, the penny was much more likely to fall heads side up.

I got this page from a Scholastic teacher book about July I think (it’s thin and blue–they have them for all the Holidays and other special days)

We also read Silly Sally and I showed the children the drama props I have to go with the story.  We talked about right side up and upside down.  We also completed our Predictable Chart titled, “Silly Sally can…” and touch read the sentences.  Lots of the day was spent playing catch up from Tuesday when NOTHING got done…not even calendar!  😦

Kristen 🙂

President’s Week Day #1

Hi Everyone!

We had to be in school today to make up a snow day–so what better way to celebrate than with President’s themed activities! 🙂

This is REALLY a stretch, but when I was trying to come up with a Big Book to read for this week, I had so much trouble!  Finally, I settled on Silly Sally by Audrey Wood–my tie in??  Abraham Lincoln’s step mother was named Sally, but they called her Sarah—see I told you it was a stretch! 🙂

Anyway, we took a picture walk through the story and then I read it aloud to the children.

We started a new Predictable Chart, “Silly Sally can…” and the children finished the sentence.

During our math/science time, we did an experiment that lasted about 30 minutes and since it covered both topics I didn’t mind.

I gave each of the students a water dropper, penny, paper towel, a cup of water, and a recording sheet.  The students needed to see how many drops of water would stay on the top of the penny before it spilled over.  They then recorded that on their pennydroppersheet. They got to try 6 times and try to beat their previous record.  It was fun:

They did really well and wanted to keep going! 🙂

We also took a look at a poster I got with my Scholastic News that showed all the Presidents, and they were WAY into that!  I had several requests to leave it up for the rest of the year so that they could see the pictures and write the President’s names.  We also looked at several older Time for Kids and Scholastic News’ that I had from previous years and the kids ate that up as well.

It was a really productive day today! 😉  Considering only 18 of my 26 were here today! 🙂  The flu is going around!  Yeah! 😦

Kristen 🙂

Hang onto those memories because it’s getting tougher to create magical moments like that. For instance, Amazon now will deliver a real 6 or 7-foot tree to your door for Christmas. Real 7-footers straight from a Quebec forest.

Seriously? Where is the love? Where are the memories? I hope today’s youth don’t grow up telling their kids, “I remember the screech of the UPS truck pulling up to our house on a cold winter day and watching the delivery driver stumbled up the driveway with the big tree in a box. That was a fine memory I tell you. A real fine memory."

I think I'll pass. I'd rather have cold toes and kids arguing who gets to take the first whack with the ax.

Here's a much better option: We have several nice tree farms around the Sioux Falls area such as Christmas Tree Acres, T & S Christmas Tree Farm, Beaver Creek Tree Farm, Country Acres Tree FarmRiverview Christmas Tree Farm, and Baumgartner Family Christmas Trees.

This will be a Thanksgiving South Dakotan's can be proud of: our birds are headed for the White House!

However, this is more about the turkey. Think big beauty pageant and now you are going on a national tour to strut your stuff. That's exactly how this will play out.

A grand Presidential Turkey Tour of Huron is planned for Wednesday, November 14. Representatives from the National Turkey Federation will be on hand.

This year marks the first time in the 71-year history of the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation that South Dakota has had this honor. The presidential turkeys are being raised under the supervision of Sveen and turkey farmer Ruben Waldner near Huron.

Before the two turkeys head to the nation’s capital they will travel around Huron on a specially prepared trailer to five area elementary schools and introduced to the students. The elementary students will be asked to submit possible names for the birds, which will then be sent to the White House for consideration.

After the tour of Huron, the turkeys will rest up before their trip to Washington, DC, where they will stay in a luxury room at the Willard InterContinental Hotel to await their historic meeting with the President of the United States.

A gun-rights activist promises to file suit after he was turned away at the gates of Oktoberfest in Tulsa, Oklahoma over the weekend - and both sides appear ready for a fight.

Don Spencer knew that the sign outside Oktoberfest listed guns as a prohibited item. But when he tried to try to get in, anyway, he was told: You're not allowed to come in with a knife or a firearm.

And while many attendees support the policy that beer and guns don't mix, Spencer argues that anytime you have a no guns zone, "it invites evil to do what it'll do."

So, despite the clearly posted signs prohibiting guns, Spencer says he'll sue based on the theory that public property is always public property.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis TlyA Protein Negatively Regulates T Helper (Th) 1 and Th17 Differentiation and Promotes Tuberculosis Pathogenesis.

Rahman MA, Sobia P, Dwivedi VP, Bhawsar A, Singh DK, Sharma P, Moodley P, Van Kaer L, Bishai WR, Das G
J Biol Chem. 2015 290 (23): 14407-17

PMID: 25847237 · PMCID: PMC4505508 · DOI:10.1074/jbc.M115.653600

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, is an ancient pathogen and a major cause of death worldwide. Although various virulence factors of M. tuberculosis have been identified, its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. TlyA is a virulence factor in several bacterial infections and is evolutionarily conserved in many Gram-positive bacteria, but its function in M. tuberculosis pathogenesis has not been elucidated. Here, we report that TlyA significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of M. tuberculosis. We show that a TlyA mutant M. tuberculosis strain induces increased IL-12 and reduced IL-1β and IL-10 cytokine responses, which sharply contrasts with the immune responses induced by wild type M. tuberculosis. Furthermore, compared with wild type M. tuberculosis, TlyA-deficient M. tuberculosis bacteria are more susceptible to autophagy in macrophages. Consequently, animals infected with the TlyA mutant M. tuberculosis organisms exhibited increased host-protective immune responses, reduced bacillary load, and increased survival compared with animals infected with wild type M. tuberculosis. Thus, M. tuberculosis employs TlyA as a host evasion factor, thereby contributing to its virulence.

Choosing a Legal Entity for Your Business

starting a new businessIf you’ve decided to start a business, one of the most important decisions you’ll need to make is choosing a legal entity. It’s a decision that impacts many things–from the amount of taxes you pay to how much paperwork you have to deal with and what type of personal liability you could face. Even if you’ve been in business for a number of years, it’s a good idea to periodically reevaluate your business structure because, as we all know, tax laws can change and that business entity you chose when you first started out may not be the best option ten years later. For example, if you operate your business as a sole proprietor, you must pay a self-employment tax rate of 15% in addition to your individual tax rate; however, if you were to revise your business structure to become a corporation and elect S-Corporation status you could take advantage of a lower tax rate thanks to tax reform.

Five Things to know before Starting a Business

That’s where a tax professional can help.

The first decision you will need to make is determining which business structure you will use. The most common types are a sole proprietor, partnership and corporation. The type of business you choose will determine which tax forms you file. Continue reading

A Letter to Dublin Cyclists

Dear Dublin cyclists,

I’ve been here a few months now, and I think I’ve gotten to grips with the niceties of inner urban cycling.

At first, your city scared the living bejesus out of me. Navigating the quays in the morning, trying to cross three lanes of traffic, hoping for a red light so that the goddamn cars would stop moving for sixty seconds: each day was what they politely call a ‘new adventure’.

Now, I’m blasé about the whole thing. I stick my hand out, check behind me, and pop gracefully between lanes before filtering through to the junction.

And when I get to that junction, I stop.

That’s right: the red light means stop. Means it for cars, means it for cyclists.

It bugs me when I see cyclists gleefully running reds because they don’t see a car coming at that particular moment.

It bugs me because they cheerfully reinforce the image of cyclists as gobshites. Gobshites who ignore any inconvenient rules of the road while simultaneously trumpeting their right to use that road.

It bugs me especially because I’ve been the other cyclist who, while crossing a junction with a green light, nearly gets creamed by some absolute spanner who’s run his red.

So please. If you’re a cyclist, or even a POB* (or whatever the proper cyclists call those of us who don’t wear spandex), stop running reds.

And while I’m at it, if you just like to amble peacefully along the road — no rush, like — stop pushing your way right to the front of the bike queue at the lights. You’re holding up everyone behind you who cycles at more than 4km/h.

* ‘Person on bike’ apparently. That is, not a real cyclist.

Today I Did Something New

St Pats Park Swing 1

Sunshine! Spring! Warm weather!

I don’t think we’re in Ireland anymore.

Wherever we are, I’m not complaining. I was sweating while cycling to college this morning. Sweating! In nothing but a hoodie! (And jeans and shoes and the likes, of course.)

One of my classes in college has an ongoing weekly assignment: we simply have to do something new or different every day, and to write about it. Each week, we take an excerpt from our writings and send it on to the lecturer, along with a photograph that’s somehow related. It’s a great assignment, and it’s something that everyone – regardless of what they do – should try.

The above photo, while nothing spectacular, is my submission for this week. There’s a park near college, beside St. Patrick’s Cathedral, that I have, thus far, failed to enter. I rectified this today, as I took a stroll around to see what it’s like.

Shockingly, it turns out that it’s lovely. The cathedral itself is a beautiful old building, very imposing and graceful, and the park, while small, is laid out really nicely. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s sick of the busyness of Stephen’s Green at lunch time.

I know that as long as it stays dry, I’ll be popping in there more often.

Filed under Outdoor

So, Santa — in the form of the girlfriend — was good to me this year, and gifted me a shiny new Kindle 3. Yeah, I threw ‘gifted’ in there because, well, you don’t really see it used as a verb very often.

Anyway: it’s a good present for me. Reading and gadgetry in one slim package? Yep, don’t mind if I do.

Aside from my personal tastes — she reckons I have a fetish for electronics; sometimes I’m not sure I disagree — this also promises to come in useful for college work. The Thesis is starting to loom ever closer and I’ve a nasty feeling that I’ll be doing a lot of reading in the months to come. Being able to throw a load of PDF journal articles onto this device and thus read them without either A) blinding myself through staring at a screen, or B) bankrupting myself through the printing of small rainforests-worth of paper can only be a Good Thing.

As a gadget, it’s very satisfying on a purely aesthetic level. It’s slimmer than my phone, the size of a paperback, and fits quite nicely into the hand. The interface is pretty straightforward (at the end of the day, you’re mostly going to be opening books and pressing Forward or Backward), though it’s hard in this day and age not to paw clumsily at the screen and wonder why it doesn’t respond.

A Clue: not everything is touchscreen in this world.

In terms of its functionality (and how I despise that word): it’s seemingly quite good indeed. The screen refreshes quickly, you can customise the font size, line spacing, and portrait/landscape display.

While a big problem the last time I looked at e-readers was the format war between ePub, Mobi, Amazon, and whatever else is out there, it’s all been made irrelevant by a lovely wee open-source programme called Calibre. Calibre sorts all that mess out for you by quietly converting any format into any other format. This is a big relief, as you don’t have to worry about whether your favourite author is in the Waterstones or Amazon camp.

To start with, however, I’m going to work my way through the classics available for free from the likes of Project Gutenberg: copyright-free works that ought to keep me going for 2011 at least.

And of course, this being the Internet: number one most-downloaded book on Project Gutenberg? This one.

Ah, Internet.

A Rainy Day in Dublin

So, it’s been quite a while. How are you? You’re looking well.

I should probably explain myself. This whole moving-to-Dublin, going-back-to-college thing has been an interesting experience. First among the things you learn in a Masters, I’ve discovered, is that there’s no such thing as free time — especially if you have a part-time job alongside your educational commitments.

Nonetheless, it’s been an enjoyable few months and I’m definitely enjoying the perks of living in Dublin (for instance).

There are downsides, and chief among these is lacking the time to get out with the camera. It’s a brand new city, nice and photogenic, and I haven’t been able to snap it as much as I’d like. Ach weil, I’ll be here for a while at any rate.

I did manage to get out for a mini photowalk on a Saturday afternoon a while back. Typical of anyone holding a camera, Orla was not happy to have the lens pointed at her instead.

Regular Service Continues

Menlough Castle BW2

SoFoBoMo continues… The above being a particular piece of evidence for my progress.

At the moment, my Lightroom SoFoBoMo collection contains about 130 photos. Of these, about 10 or 12 are half-decent, and will make it in to the final product. With 13 days down, and 18 to go, I think I’m on reasonable track for this. However, the current decision of the weather to fall back into the Irish default isn’t helping. (Although, it must be said, the nice dramatic sky rather helps this photo, I think.)

Another problem I’m having is with the subject matter. As I said before, I’m focusing on the river Corrib as it rolls through Galway City. However, some of the locations along the river that I had intended to include in the book don’t really seem to fit the rest. Specifically, I’m talking about NUIG. The few photos I took on a scouting run through here are very steel’n’concrete architectural-style shots, which jars with the undulating riverbanks of most of the other stuff I’ve shot. Still, there’s a few that I quite like, so hopefully I can transition neatly between two styles.

See, I’m learning stuff with this whole SoFoBoMo carry-on!

In other news, the Galway Arts Festival has begun, and I’m looking forward to seeing the meagre couple of things I could afford to go to. I am booked in for The Divine Comedy and a talk by Bret Easton Ellis, but I’m raging my inability to go to productions of Uncle Vanya, Penelope, and a couple of other smaller gigs.

If you’re around Galway, check it out. There’s a load of great stuff on.

Done! Sorted! Yeah!

Well, ‘not done’ is more accurate, but ‘sorted’ works. In the manner of all epiphanies, I settled on my SoFoBoMo topic while strolling aimlessly about the other evening.

It’s tentatively titled On the Corrib and I want to start upriver, following the River Corrib downstream through Galway City, photographing both the river itself and some of the landmarks upon its banks.

This serves a dual purpose: I’m going to re-take photos of some Galway landmarks that I haven’t done justice to before now, and I’m going to spend the month really studying this beautiful city.

I do this because, come September, I’ll be leaving for Dublin to study for a Masters.

Part of me is excited — I’m looking forward to doing this new course, and a lot of friends who I don’t get to see very often live in Dublin — and part of me is a bit regretful about it.

Galway is, hands-down, the nicest place I’ve lived in this country. It’s a laid-back, friendly, cultured city where the emphasis is strictly on enjoying life instead of falling victim to the rat race. That’s a clichéd statement if ever there was one, but it’s really true in Galway’s case. They don’t call it the graveyard of ambition for nothing, and if empirical evidence is more your thing, it’s hard to argue with the wealth of unemployed crusties playing bongos on a sunny day.

However, all things must pass, and after three great years here, it’s time for me to move on. I’m just thankful that I’ve got one more summer left here before I go.

And as I’ve said before, ain’t nowhere like Galway in the summer.

One-two, one-two, this is just a test…

Okay, just messing about with the WordPress app for my phone (I haven’t actually used it yet) and thought I’d upload a photo I took yesterday evening.

I got home late from work, did some shopping, and finally got the chance to relax. While waiting for the oven to heat up, I sat out on the balcony and had a beer in the remnants of the sunshine.

Between the boats sailing, the walkers bopping up and down Nimmo’s Pier, and the lazy bastards like myself just taking in the evening, my long-held belief was once again reaffirmed: there’s nowhere in Ireland quite as pleasant as Galway in the summertime.

Cheryl Ann Ferguson McLean, of Winchester, MA passed away Friday, March 13, 2020 peacefully at the age of 69. She was the daughter of the late Harry J.S. and Janet Ferguson of Winchester, MA and loving wife of the late Dr. Paul E. McLean. Predeceased by her sister, Deborah Ferguson Ryan. Cheryl was the devoted mother to her beloved sons, Christopher T. (“CT”) McLean and his wife Alesandra T. McLean, and son Scott E. McLean and his wife Lindsey W. McLean. Cheryl was the adoring grandmother to Brooke & Brian McLean.
Born and raised in Winchester, MA Cheryl graduated from Winchester High School and received her undergraduate degree from Regis College. She earned a Masters Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Boston University’s Sargent College. She went on to serve her community and work alongside the love of her life, Paul, at Metropolitan State Hospital in Waltham providing care for the mentally ill. She was committed to helping others through her professional work as a psychotherapist and clinical social worker. Cheryl met many loyal, lifelong friends through her schooling, work, and day to day life whom she treasured dearly.
To know Cheryl was to know her love for shopping, accessories, and picking out the perfect gift. Cheryl had a love for fashion and was always impeccably dressed from her earrings down to her matching shoes. She always had a story to tell, a true gift of gab.
Cheryl’s absolute true love was her late husband Paul McLean whom she married in 1981 and enjoyed 24 years of wedded bliss. They traveled the world together before settling in Winchester and raising Cheryl’s pride and joy, her sons.
Relatives and friends may pay their respects on Wednesday, March 18th at Lane Funeral Home at 760 Main Street in Winchester MA from 4 PM – 7 PM. Memorial services and interment will be private.

PEPTIDES: Melanotan 1 or 2: Which is Right for You?

PEPTIDES: Melanotan 1 or 2: Which is Right for You?

Melanotan 1 or 2: Which is Right for You Latvia ?

You probably have hit the gym for months to prepare for a beach escapade. Perhaps, you have achieved your dream physique. So, what’s next? Well, your job does not stop there. It’s time to achieve that perfect tan to achieve healthier and sexier complexion with Melanotan. As you take off your clothes, the crowd will surely be tempted to stare at you for hours.

However, getting an ideal tan is not as easy as you imagine. Some people have pale skin that easily burns. Others are unfortunately allergic to lotions, which in turn give them a hard time to get the desired tan.

Before it was complicated to achieve a golden tan without UV exposure, but now everything is within reach and readily available. Thanks to Melanotan 1 and Melanotan 2. Unlike the other options in the market, they only require a small amount of UV exposure to boost the right skin pigmentation.

But which is ideal for your unique body needs and requirements? Good question! Read on for more information!

What is actually Melanotan Latvia ?

You perhaps have heard of Melanotan before? But what does it mean? And how does it work? Melanotan is simply a hormone that targets skin colour. Found in melanocyte cells, it produces the natural tanning effect within our pituitary gland. Unlike other tanning options out there, it does not produce a variety of side effects depending on how you use it.

Which is Right for You?

Melanotan 1 is a straight peptide while Melanotan 2 is a version of the afamelanotide peptide.

MT-1 is responsible for emulating the action of the melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Research has suggested It can activate the effect of the naturally produced compound. In terms of side effects, users do not experience any pain and other health hazards so far.

However, MT-1 is pricier than MT-2. Although it causes a dent in your savings account, Research has suggested you can be sure of your tanning solution. Within a single and proper use, you can see a big difference in your skin. You can see and feel the perfect tan on the same day.

Aside from the hefty price, MT-1 is not easily found on the market. It is not highly accessible. If it’s only a week before the summer, MT-1 might not be an ideal choice.

Melatonin 2, on the other hand, is cheaper. Whether you don’t have enough budget for an MT-1, MT-2 is good to go. Despite the competitive rate, it’s of high quality you shouldn’t miss. While you can enjoy desirable tan.

As with the MT-1, MT-2 activates the effect of the melanocyte. While MT-1 cannot be found easily, MT-2 is accessible in pharmacies and other drug stores in different parts of the world. Whether you’re in search of an affordable or quality tanning solution, MT-2 has got you covered.

Cheaper tanning product? MT-2 is the right for you.

They are looking for a solution that stimulates the naturally produced melanocyte? MT-1 and MT-2 are great choices.

So, what are you waiting for? Add any of the Melanotan to cart today!

Writer’s Life: Cathy Zane

The current stop-the-world era prompts a lot of big feelings. Anxiety. Generosity. Even creativity. This is a time I do not wish to look back upon and regret spending too much time freaking out (a certain amount of freaking is required), and too little time creating and giving. It’s the latter two that have prompted the renewal of the “Writer’s Life” feature, to help readers and writers find each other.

What better time to introduce author Cathy Zane, whose generosity comes across in her tweets, and whose novel, Better Than This, will be featured for 99 cents on BookBub this week, beginning April 14. Meet Cathy:

1.      What have you learned from parenting, or from your own parents, that you bring to your work as a writer?

As a parent, I learned to provide structure and discipline, but also to “go with the flow” and be flexible – and I think both of these apply to writing. “Seat in chair” is the structure for me – but I also pay attention to when I need to take a break, put the writing project on the shelf and come back to it later.

2.      Where do you write? What do you love (or hate) about it?

I have two places that I write. The first is a small library/office that looks out on a wooded hill. It’s great when I feel like being “cocooned.” But when I need to feel more spaciousness, I write at my glass topped dining room table.

3.      If you had a motto, what would it be?

Kindness first – or as I held it in my head as a child – “follow the Golden Rule.”

4.      Who inspires you?

Nearly everyone – from great leaders to everyday people. I think it would be easier to answer what inspires me – and that would be acts of kindness, compassion and generosity.

5.      Is there a charity or community service are you passionate about?

Literacy – the desire for everyone to have the opportunity to learn to read and have access to books and other reading materials.

6.      What are you reading now?

Reading is my favorite thing to do – so the answer to this question changes nearly daily! I typically read at least a couple books a week, often in tandem. I just finished The Dali Lama’s Cat by David Michie (very relaxing and comforting book in these current challenging times!) and I’m nearly through The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle.

7.      What is the most satisfying part about being an author? What do you least enjoy about being an author?

I love the process of writing – I lose time when I’m in that flow and it’s exciting to see where the characters will take me and where the story will go. I also feel gratified when readers express that my writing has been comforting or supportive to them in some way. The least enjoyable aspect for me is the marketing and self-promotion – which I know is common answer for many writers!

8.      If you weren’t an author, what would you be?

Well, I’ve been a nurse and a therapist, but if I missed any “calling” in life, it would have been to be a teacher. I think teaching and guiding and supporting others has always been my core sense of purpose in life.

Cathy Zane is a former nurse and psychotherapist who draws on experience in both her careers, as well as in her own life, to create narratives of growth, healing, and empowerment. A lifelong reader, she believes in the power of fiction to comfort, inspire, and connect us to our shared humanity. Her award-winning novel, Better Than This, will be BookBub’s Featured eBook deal for $0.99 on April 14. Visit her at www.cathyzane.com

Behind the scenes of Shelter Us

I thought I’d share some “behind the scenes” of how my debut novel, Shelter Us, evolved from first draft to final form. Today’s tidbit: Torah study.

What’s that? You heard me.

After I had completed the first draft and was working sloooowly on revising, I began attending Torah study with Rabbi Amy Bernstein, at Kehillat Israel Reconstructionist Congregation, a progressive and all-around awesome place. (Her podcasts are here.)

Every week in Torah study we read and dissected ancient stories, and found connections to modern human foibles, habits, and yearnings — both personal and universal. What surprised me about Torah study, and what kept me coming back, was twofold: how relevant it was — how much I learned from it as a parent, a friend, a citizen. And how completely beautiful its purpose — to inspire humans toward becoming our best selves, all the while recognizing hey, we’re only human.

So nuts and bolts, how did this affect Shelter Us? Well, the first draft already had Sarah meeting and reaching out to Josie, a young homeless mother. (Obviously, my good Jewish Tikkun Olam training had already seeped into the plot.) But I went back and deepened Sarah’s motivation for doing that, deciding to make her late mother a Jewish convert, someone who often modeled the most important Jewish value: Remember we were strangers; welcome and take care of the stranger.

There more I think about it, the more Jewish values I find infused in Shelter Us, from its title, to the idea of passing values from one generation to the next, to the role of ritual, and even to the biggie: beliefs about God. And the more questions there are to explore.

  • How do you continue to learn and grow, be it philosophy, spirituality or history or something else?
  • Have you found yourself more or less drawn to religion or spirituality as you’ve gotten older?

Thanks for reading. Any questions you’d like answered? Feel free to ask in a comment, or contact me. More to come soon!

Laveen’s Kids Club Approved as an Arizona Enrichment Center

To ensure Arizona’s first responders, critical healthcare workers, and essential public sector employees have the support they need to continue combatting COVID-19, the Governor’s office has partnered with a variety of agencies to offer child care through Arizona Enrichment Centers.

The Kids Club program at Desert Meadows School has been approved as one of the few Arizona Enrichment Centers in the Laveen area to provide this service to essential workers who rely on childcare for their young children to be able to continue to work.

When school closures were first announced, Laveen’s Kids Club team immediately stepped up to provide a day camp experience to children whose parents are considered “essential workers.” This program provides structured activities in a safe, supervised environment for children in Grades Preschool – 6. Until the executive order is lifted, Laveen Kids Club will not provide childcare services to parents who are not considered essential workers as defined by the Governor’s executive order and have been encouraged to keep their children home.

We are proud that Laveen’s program can support the Governor’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Connected initiative and serve the families who are working the front lines during this state of emergency.

Qualifying families can find more information about this program at or by calling our Kids Club office at 602-237-7058.

Dietary Fat

Fat is found both in the foods we eat, called dietary fat, and in our bodies in the form of depot fat.  Fats provide the most concentrated form of energy,  and contain 9 calories per gram as compared to 4 calories per gram for both carbohydrate and protein.  Common sources of dietary fat include meats, dairy products such as milk, cheese and butter, eggs, cooking oils, mayonnaise and nuts.

There are basically two types of dietary fats: saturated and unsaturated.

Saturated fats, including trans fat, are generally solid at room temperature and, except for a limited number of plant sources such as coconut oil and palm oil.  Saturated fats increase LDL cholesterol (unhealthy cholesterol,) which can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.  Trans fats occur naturally in some foods, especially food from animal sources, but most trans fats are made during food processing through partial hydrogenation of unsaturated fats. This process creates fats, termed industrial or synthetic trans fats, that are easier to cook with. Research shows that synthetic trans fat can increase unhealthy LDL cholesterol and lower healthy high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Unsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature and include monounsaturated fats such as olive and canola oil, nuts, avocados and olives and polyunsaturated fats such as Omega 3s, derived from fatty fish, fish oil, soybeans, tofu, walnuts and flaxseed and Omega 6s which are abundant in Western diets and include mayonnaise, salad dressing, and corn oil.  Omega 3s are recommended because of their anti-inflammatory effects.  Because saturated fats have been linked to elevated cholesterol and other health problems, unsaturated fats are preferred.

Dietary fat is necessary for a number of functions, including building cell membranes, the formation of both vitamin D and cholesterol, and the development of hormones.  Fat also acts as padding and insulation for the body, but the primary purpose of dietary fat is to provide energy, especially stored energy.

It should be noted that an excess of fat in the diet can lead to a number of medical problems, including obesity, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.  Another problem is that dietary fat tends to lead to depot fat.  Not only does fat contain more than twice the calories of either protein or carbs, there is evidence to suggest that excess fat calories are more readily stored as body fat than either excess carbohydrates or protein.

How much fat should the average person consume?  It is recommended that dietary fat be limited to approximately 20% of the total daily calories with less than 10% of calories derived from saturated fats.

Scientists identify 170 potential lung cancer drug targets

from Eureka Alert

After testing more than 200,000 chemical compounds, UT Southwestern’s Simmons Cancer Center researchers have identified 170 chemicals that are potential candidates for development into drug therapies for lung cancer.

The 5-year project set out to identify new therapeutic targets for non-small cell lung cancer as well as potential drugs for these targets – a significant step forward toward personalizing cancer care.

“For the large majority of compounds, we identified a predictive biomarker – a feature that allows the development of ‘precision medicine,’ or individualized treatment for each patient, which is a major goal of the Simmons Cancer Center,” said Dr. John Minna, Director of the Hamon Center for Therapeutic Oncology Research at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. for both men and women, according to the National Cancer Institute. Non-small cell lung cancer, the type of cancer studied in this research, comprises approximately 85 percent of all lung cancers. In 2017, lung cancer caused 26 percent of all cancer deaths.

More information:

Should I be screened for lung cancer?

Using UT Southwestern’s unique lung cancer cell library that is now the world’s largest, the researchers searched for compounds that would kill cancer cells but not harm normal lung cells.

“We began an ambitious project with the goal of identifying ‘therapeutic triads’: chemicals that kill cancer cells, biomarkers that predict who would respond, and the therapeutic targets on which those active chemicals work,” said Dr. Minna, Professor of Internal Medicine and Pharmacology who holds the Sarah M. and Charles E. Seay Distinguished Chair in Cancer Research and the Max L. Thomas Distinguished Chair in Molecular Pulmonary Oncology.

Continuing to uncover the mechanism of action for the majority of the 170 chemicals will be a key focus of future research. Follow-up work will also include testing the chemicals on other types of cancer. Preliminary work shows some of the compounds are likely effective against certain breast and ovarian cancers as well.

What made this work unusual was that they began with the chemical compounds.

“Almost all cancer research is gene-first, or target-first. We began with the potential drugs,” said Dr. Michael Roth, Professor of Biochemistry and a member of the Simmons Cancer Center.

Halloween News Flash! 4 Warning Signs Your Boss Has Been Infected by The Zombie Plague

Organizations around the world are reporting their leaders are turning into zombies at an alarming rate. Formerly healthy, productive, and capable leaders are falling victim to the Zombie Plague, a deadly disease that is spreading uncontrollably across the globe.

Leadership development experts recommend everyone be on alert for the symptoms listed below. If your boss demonstrates any of these behaviors, please consult a professional immediately.

1. She is running on autopilot – Zombie’s are empty vessels with no willpower or mind of their own. They wander about aimlessly with no clear purpose other than to satisfy their basic needs for survival (mainly terrorizing and eating humans!). Zombie leaders have become complacent and stopped investing in their own growth and learning. They do the minimum amount of work required to keep the ship afloat and they’ve stopped pushing the boundaries to innovate and adapt to new realities in the marketplace. If your boss is content with doing the same ‘ol, same ‘ol, she might be infected.

2. She is a doomsdayist – Healthy leaders are purveyors of hope and positive energy. They cast a compelling vision of the future that inspires their followers to commit to the goal, team, or organization. Zombie leaders tend to have a sense of doom and failure. They waste their energy focusing on all the reasons why something can’t be done rather than working to find new solutions. They’re often heard saying “Why change? That’s the way we’ve always done things around here.”

3. Her relationships are strained and difficult – Zombie leaders tend to have a low EQ (emotional quotient) that makes them ill-prepared to develop strong interpersonal relationships. They fail to build rapport with their followers, don’t collaborate well with colleagues, and have a low self-awareness about how they “show up” with other people. In fact, zombie leaders reading this right now probably fail to identify with any of these qualities and instead are muttering to themselves “I wish my boss was reading this article.”

4. She’s in a “trust-deficit” – Leaders infected with the zombie virus are notorious for breaking trust with their followers. Failing to follow through on commitments, taking credit for other people’s work, not “walking the talk,” and withholding recognition and praise from others are all ways that zombies erode trust. The low-trust relationships that zombie leaders have with their followers results in reduced productivity, gossiping, questioning of decisions, and low levels of employee morale and engagement.

Various remedies are available to prevent leaders from contracting the Zombie Plague or to treat those already infected. The therapy plan extends over the course of a leader’s lifetime and requires constant diligence to ensure the disease stays in remission. Treatments include ongoing learning and self-improvement, building trust in relationships, and adopting a servant-leader philosophy.

Randy Conley is the Vice President of Client Services and Trust Practice Leader at The Ken Blanchard Companies. His LeaderChat posts appear the fourth or last Thursday of every month.

  1. At first I thought this was just a Halloween article, all fiction. But after reading it, I realized it’s more of a field report from a Zombie spotter. Thanks for alerting us to these dangers! 🙂

What I learnt at Uganda Gathering

ConferencesIntegral missionYoung people

By Etotu Daniel

In May 2016, Etotu Daniel attended Uganda Gathering. The conference focused on how the church can respond to the challenges of gender-based violence, street children, conflict and reconciliation and other issues affecting Uganda today.

My name is Etotu Daniel and I am 27 years old. I am the last-born son from a Christian family of eleven children: nine girls and two boys. Two of my sisters are in heaven and the other seven are all married.

I have grown up learning the importance of being respectful and helping my parents with home activities. My father passed away in 2012, and since then my family have seen me as the father figure in our household. I found this very difficult because I felt God calling me to serve him at the Youth With A Mission (YWAM) base in Arua, Uganda. Joining YWAM would take me away from home, meaning I could not look after my mother and siblings.

After much prayer and consideration, I obeyed God’s voice and joined YWAM, trusting and believing that he can do everything. I now serve in YWAM as a leader in the vocational training school (VTS). I want to be a role model for the young people we work with, encouraging them and equipping them with a fuller understanding of God’s love. I want them to know the part they can play in helping to bring in his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. I also enjoy using my knowledge of computers to train young people in practical skills.

I recently attended Uganda Gathering. My aim was to develop a better understanding of what biblical transformation looks like in the lives of individuals and communities. I really enjoyed the conference and was encouraged by the speakers and discussions. I left with a better understanding of the challenges that orphans and vulnerable children face and the role of young people in development.

This understanding has been beneficial for me as a YWAM leader. I now encourage our students to know that they are the pillars of tomorrow and of great importance in their community. I want them to know that when they put God first in their lives, they will be able to bring positive change and transformation in their communities. They can be examples for their community, showing unity, joy, love and care for others, just as Jesus did.

I am passionate about seeing young people growing in character and developing skills they can apply in their businesses and careers. The gathering has given me a renewed sense of hope and purpose for my life. It also provided me with the opportunity to meet new people and build new friendships.

I see life as a journey, and I want to walk in unity with others, standing together and helping each other to realise our God-given potential.

NSTA's Virtual Conference - Teaching Controversial Topics | Posted in Professional Learning

Hi Mary, I have had the opportunity to participate in several virtual conferences. The most amazing part of it is getting to hear firsthand from the experts on a topic. When I attended the solar eclipse one, I was blown away by all the great information that was shared. I was so well prepared to participate in the total eclipse in Carbondale this past August because of what I learned at the virtual conference. I also attended the Climate Virtual Conference where they had atmospheric scientists and meteorologists from NOAA (who actually study climate change) share their expertise. Then we had experienced educators share how to present engaging lessons to our students. Your brain leaves the day's conference filled to the brim with fresh new ideas. I love going to NSTA conferences like the one coming up in Atlanta, but it is a totally different experience. The virtual conferences are such a great value for the money. All those experts on one specific topic are gathered together for the day just for us! I am especially interested in the March 3rd virtual conference because I am looking forward to learning some new strategies for teaching controversial topics in science, AND the other emphasis, according to the overview, is about having a better understanding of the nature of science. Hope to see you there! Carolyn

Inquiry-Based Learning in Elementary School | Posted in Elementary Science

Hi Kevin! I am currently taking a undergraduate course called "Methods of Teaching Science" and we also have a major focus on inquiry-based learning. Personally, I believe that inquiry-based learning is great for students because it gives them a chance to think for themselves instead of merely being told an answer. Furthermore, science is an ongoing investigation of the natural world so even professional scientists are in a continual process of reviewing and asking questions. One way to incorporate this type of learning is to follow the 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) which easily aligns with Next Generation Science Standards. I suggest becoming familiar with both of these, if you are not already! I cannot think of any cons of introducing inquiry-based learning to lower elementary grades. Journal Article that addresses your question:  I hope some of this is useful to you!

Clean Thoughts On A Dirty Wall

For every day and every tomorrow

You came from dust. You will return to dust. That's why I don't dust - it could be someone I once knew.

Dear Karma: I have a list of people you missed. Thanks in advance.

Never give up on anybody; miracles happen every day.

Happy Life Habits:

Show respect for teachers.

Show respect for police and firefighters.

Show respect for military personnel.

Learn the trade; ignore the 'tricks of the trade.

12.31.2019 'As the world turns...' - clear, cold, with scattered thin clouds in the sky, the sun, even so low, is soothing and warming as it spreads its rays across my shoulders. A thought crosses my mind as I trek up the hill to my house. In fewer than twelve hours we will enter into a new day, a new month, a new year, a new decade. And the world will be a better place for our race because of our race. Perfect waits in Heaven. Let there be peace, even an imperfect peace, here with us. Smile

Genius which I can hold in my hand is waiting in the public library. Quietly.

What if you get scared half to death twice?

In a culture remarked for outrageous attention seekers, quiet moments of intimacy send a wonderful message of love and hope. The Ageless River of love goes unrelentingly to the sea of life.

'Economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise.' From the creed of the JayCees, a community service group for young men.

Gluten free has been such a rage in the foodie circles lately. Looking around one may well wonder if glutton free may be a better choice for some.

Happy Life Habits

Keep secrets

Take lots of photographs

Never turn down homemade brownies

Celebrate joy constantly

Write 'thank you' posts and notes immediately

Who knew that the first four letters in analyst spell 'anal'. That does explain a certain motivation.

How many generals are there in a General Store? Is there an average number, a minimum, maximum?

At my favorite place at the lake, waiting for the arrival of my burger. A monarch butterfly establishes a presence in the area around me, ultimately coming to rest, first, on my boot, then on my hand, two fingers, my thigh and finally departing for another venue. None of the resting pauses lasted more than a few seconds to several minutes. Folks passing by were also entertained by the lovely graceful presence. I love my mountain home.

The most boring, often insincere expression in our idiom: 'I'm excited'; 'It's exciting'; etc. No, everything can't be cause for excitement. Why isn't anyone enthused, delighted, pleased, happy?

What a pleasant Sunday. Admiring the results of my gardening efforts last week, I was visited by a single monarch butterfly; the creature performed an elegant ballet all around me, making arcs and circles, dipping and briefly soaring, only to suddenly fly away, seeming to disappear just as magically as it had appeared. A grateful and appreciative man.

Humor: the ultimate soul food.

When is a potential potentate potent?

Do turtles and snails think that all other animals are homeless?

Happy Life Habits

Learn to identify the music of Mozart, Chopin, and Beetoven

Plant a tree on your birthday

Donate two pints of blood every year

Make new friends and cherish the old

Today in the US Mail comes a letter, prominently stamped 'Personal and Confidential'. It was addressed to 'Offer Recipient. What a country! Does this happen to random citizens of Ceylon or Mauritania? Nowhere else in this whole wide world, pilgrims.

The two most important days of my life: the day I was born, and the day I learned why I am here.

The pyramid, with its four sides joining as one at the top is a universal symbol of major aspects of life: the four seasons, the four phases of life, the counting of music in fourths; and, as the sides come together as one, they direct us to pursue our calling, our life purpose, the meaning of each human life.

Keeping up with the Jones' has been proven to be a fools errand. Researchers found that even when people were given tee shirts to wear which everyone assumed would be found offensive or mocked by at least 50%, only about 20% noticed. Everyone is more aware of themselves and what they own or drive and seldom notice the same in others.

Happy Life Habits:

Never buy a house without a fireplace

Buy whatever kids are selling on a card table

Once in your life own a convertible

Treat everyone you meet as you want to be treated

If it's true that male employees consistently make more than do females for the same work, why do employers continue to hire and retain male employees? Are they ignorant of the truth or stupid? Or is the truth ignored?

'The darkest hour is just before dawn.' True, or just a quaint homily?

When I hear an interviewer say to an interviewee: 'Tell us a little bit about yourself.', I always think: oh, oh, this person can tell us all the virtue signalling stuff and just leave out all the salacious tidbits we really want to know.

I give thanks every day to God and my mother for all of the gifts which were given to me at my birth. Without them and the joy they have brought me in using them to help others, my life would have been without purpose.

Even on the cloudiest day, if there is daylight, the sun is welcoming me to the very best it has to offer. I am surely at my best when I emulate the light and warmth of the sun. And I am reminded that darkness and cold are not my best or my preferred moods.

We are all subject to the same laws of physics and chemistry that dictate everything about our world and our universe. Some choose to learn the laws and use them for personal benefit. Others violate them and respond with anger and resentment when their outcomes are unpleasant.

Sometimes I wonder whatever happened to the people who asked me for directions.

I came to get ripped; instead, I got whipped. I've repeated that phrase hundreds of times in many gyms and in my own home workout spaces as I was in the process of winding down from a resistance training session. There is no adequate way to describe that hollowed out feeling of having expended my final ounce of energy, pushing through the resistance and if need be, through some pain to get to my daily goal. Another favorite: Ponce de Leon would find the fountain of youth wherever he and others could do resistance training. In resisting with my muscles my bones react by getting stronger and harder to handle the stronger muscles. In health as in all of life, there is no free; only work works.

I call my home Los Arboles, 'the trees' in Spanish. Today I spent some time admiring my Crimson King maple tree, a real show piece on the second terrace which presents its colorful display at chest height and above from my front door and on my large deck. And it's framed by the 80+ foot ponderosa pines along the lower border of the property. My heart always connects with my surroundings as I leave and whenever I return here. The trees are my anchors.

Very few will ever know the experience of standing on a stage, playing ones instrument and doing the vocals with a group of six or seven good to excellent musicians behind you. Of course the applause is great; still, each number is so satisfying as the entire ensemble performs, each on a separate instrument, in time and in tune. The feeling is one of such personal accomplishment and as a part of something more than being a solo act. I've done both, many times, and each one is unique. Even knowing the times when I've missed a note. It happens. Smile

I love to be able to workout for core, power and endurance, work hard physically using my hands and getting into all sorts of poses to complete tasks, and to be intellectually stimulated through study and writing down my observations as I develop them and analyze my conclusions. As a boy I learned to admire the Greeks for their determination to be a whole person in spirit, mind and body, and the stoics for their endurance in the face of hardship and opposition. I question my life and how I employ it; I never question my beingness.

Happy Life Habits

Be forgiving of yourself and others.

Learn three clean jokes.

Wear polished shoes.

Floss your teeth.

Drink champagne for no reason at all.

A gift is something given freely with no expectation of anything in return. An exchange, as in a family or social group where it is anticipated that each person will both give and receive items is just that, an exchange. Confusing the two can lead to rancor and disappointment.

Fact or friction: to deny facts is to ultimately encounter friction. It has ever been thus.

'I may not be perfect, but parts of me are excellent' From an old friend, Ashleigh Brilliant, in one of his volumes of aphorisms.

Salvador Dali: 'Do not fear perfection, you will never reach it'. Practice makes better.

Every expert was once a beginner.

Happy Life Habits

Be the first to say 'Hello'

Live beneath your means

Drive inexpensive cars

Read great books

Peace is found more often by inner reflection than by outer projection.

Both sexes, male and female, have a dark aspect to their character. Since it can remain unseen if not overtly expressed, it is possible to deny that it exists, just as one may deny gravity; the evidence of its presence is all around us.

There is no pain-free life. Each of us must accept the pain of discipline or the pain of disappointment. Michael Phelps, many times Olympic champion swimmer, never got used to the shock of the cold water at 6 AM when he first dove into the pool every day.

Happy Life Habits:

Sing in the shower.

Use the good silver.

Learn to make great chili.

Plant flowers every Spring.

Own a great music system.

Attempts to understand the opposite sex are fool's errands. And any critique of the opposite sex is even more futile. God knew very well, better than any human, His intention. The same is true of God's device of diversity. Acceptance is a valuable virtue and a blessing.

From my study of the Bible I have  concluded that it is a series of lessons about the venality of man and how to avoid conduct which is morally wrong.

The Battle of the Sexes has never been a battle at all: there has always been constant collusion followed by surrender...

The lab tech who draws my blood at the VA is the best I've ever had. And I have had so many needles there that both my arms have scar tissue from hundreds of visits to blood centers to donate for premature babies. Some such experiences are more pleasant than others. Each is important for its own reasons.

Is it illegal where you live to go skinny dipping alone?

What someone else thinks of me is none of my business. I focus on what I think.

Happy Life Habits

Have a firm handshake

Look people in the eye

Say 'Thank You' a lot

Say 'Please' a lot

Learn to play a musical instrument

From Lily Tomlin: 'I always wanted to be somebody; I should have been more specific.

When all is said and done, more is said than done.

Happy Life Habits

Compliment three people every day.

Have a dog.

Watch a sunrise at least once a year.

Remember other people's birthdays.

Overtip breakfast waitresses.

When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go. Smile

Stand and sit erect, head high, chin tucked in slightly. With this projection you will immediately notice that people see you as open, authentic and respectful. Life changing.

The Withered Leaf: An Ancestry Story

Family stories are fascinating, particularly the ones families don’t like to tell. And every family has more than its share of “things better left unsaid.”

The Big Blue Mess

I met my mother’s father once. I was very small, he was very quiet and together we sat on a piano bench as he played a tune. I was told he was rather brilliant and could play multiple instruments. When we parted, I went back to my home where my parents watched over me and he went back to his home, where attendants and orderlies and case workers watched over him. He was institutionalized most of his adult life.

No one talked about him. No one really knew him.

I went looking for him.

On my journey I discovered his mother, her name was Ruth or maybe it was Katie Ruth or Catherine, but my guess is she was more commonly known as Ruth. I had always believed she died in North Carolina an elderly woman. In fact, I believed my grandfather and his siblings had moved to Dallas while…
