Chapter 2 Way Back When Pain. The headache began in her right temple and shot straight into her right eyeball. Perfect, it’s going to be one of those days. At exactly twelve noon, the shrill bell rang to announce the onset of lunchtime. The animated drove of students congregated in the cafeteria to begin their social rituals.

Welcome to Chapter 1 of my first novel titled Emily. First published in 2018. Chapter 1 My Mind and I I’m sitting in a darkened room. Just me…and my mind. My mind and I, we sit in a darkened room. Thought. Thought. Thought. It’s dark out. Maybe midnight, maybe early morning. I've lost track of time, sitting here. I came into this room early this morning, or maybe yesterday morning. Nevertheless, I came in here with a cup of vodka-spiked coffee and a gusto of brava

This is me and who I am… What am I… Doing? Where am I… Going? How will I… Get there? Tell us…

Learning a new skill is invaluable… Let’s talk about this. I agree if the skill will add joy to your life. Just learning a new skill for the sake of income is not something I believe will benefit us outside of the money. If we can find a skill that can do both, add joy and income, oh what a life that would be! Share your thoughts in the comments!

One of the greatest myths we believe in is that successful people always know exactly where they’re going. They don’t. Most people discover their path by walking it. Life isn’t a straight road with clearly marked signs. It’s more like a trail that reveals itself one step at a time. Every decision, every mistake, every unexpected opportunity teaches you something you couldn’t have learned by standing still. Waiting until you have every answer often means waiting forever. You d

You are allowed to begin again as many times as it takes. Starting over is often misunderstood. We tend to see it as evidence that something didn’t work out, that we failed, or that we somehow fell behind. But life rarely follows a straight line. The people who grow the most are not the ones who never change course. They are the ones who have the courage to recognize when a path no longer fits, to carry the lessons with them, and to begin again with greater wisdom than befo

There was a time I thought dreaming was for other people. I knew how to help students believe in themselves, but somewhere along the way I stopped believing in myself... What dream have you quietly placed on a shelf because it felt too big? Mine...was this website. Bringing all my brands together after so many years carefully keeping them as separate as possible was and still is so scary. Will all the pieces of me be accepted...together? As I built each brand, I believed that

Why I Stopped Teaching Science as a List of Facts My first few years teaching, I taught science the way many of us were taught. Vocabulary first. Notes second. Lab if there was time. Test at the end. My students learned facts. Some even memorized them well enough to pass assessments. But too often, a few weeks later, those same concepts seemed to disappear. Then I began asking myself a simple question: What if students learned science the same way scientists experience it? No

I'm working on book two of my series, this is the 4th go around. I've written my characters' lives three times before, fully, then deleted it all. I am a few pages away from wrapping up this story line and I feel like I would be incapable of deleting this time, I feel like all the lives I wrote before led them here. And now they are ready to go out into the world...maybe.
