Welcome to my first blog and my first website, I think. I wanted to create a site that would support a coaching/consulting/tutoring business I am developing. At the very least I felt this would give me a platform to share my ideas with as many people as possible. Also I am doing this for me as a way to offer a structure that I find missing from my life and a sense of connectedness (yes I have a tendency to make up words, poetic license) that I also need to find. Having been separated, not by my own choice, from somewhere for over 35 years left me feeling a bit adrift. Actually as I was already realizing and battling depression, it made me feel like Alice tumbling head over heels down that rabbit hole or Dorothy as she was spinning out of control in the midst of the tornado. I don't feel as if I have landed yet either in Wonderland or Oz..
Here you will find four pages. This page will be devoted to regular blog posts dealing mostly with education and learning, but mainly about life long learning and all it entails. I will say things to make you think, reflect, and respond. The worst thing that can happen is when there is no response. I want this to be as warming and inviting as the red earthenware above and as clear as the crystal and as nebulous as the window behind them both. One of the pages will be devoted to personal writings I have done in the past and will do, another page with pieces of writing, images, and songs of others. I will always do my best to make sure appropriate people are credited. After many years as an English teacher, I know all about copyrights and intellectual property and have a great respect for both. You will find something of value here, maybe a smile, maybe a laugh, maybe a tear. I know this is a next step on a journey for me.
