Live Your Life in Beta!

I saw this on Facebook this morning:


This makes me so happy! It's true that learning makes an impact when it's important and it matters to the learner. She has been tweeting for a year and it finally clicked at the conference! :) That's how it happened for me too!

 Heather is an amazing teacher with a new blog. (Hint, hint...hoping Heather shares it soon!!) She's always searching for ways to improve her craft as a teacher. She inspires and helps so many!! Today, she's at ISTE learning all sorts of amazing new things! Here's a tweet from the conference that I just love...

I love this quote. "Live your life in beta." Here's to Heather and all of the other teachers out there today who are taking risks and learning and stretching and growing! Way to go, Heather! Have lots of fun at ISTE!!

    I was just looking at that same post and thinking about how much it says in 140 characters. Great minds think alike!

      Oh, I was looking at it because you retweeted it. Thanks for sharing that.

    I was just thinking how overwhelming Twitter is and then I read Heather's post. So, I'll keep at it. Also, that is a great quote, "Live your life in Beta!" That should have been the name of our pilot program ;)

    I'd love to read Heather's blog! Hint, hint!

    It's taken me a while with Twitter and I still don't feel completely confident, but I call it Twitter Love when my tweets get re-tweeted. That's a good feeling. I've participated in a few chats, and they move so fast it's difficult to keep up. Building my PLN a little bit at a time. I've made friends on FB, too, in my PLN. That's what led me here.
    I recently read an article about making the most of your Facebook and one thing that stood out for me was to promote others. You are doing that here for Heather. Great!

Here I Am

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking for the past couple of days about this post...but I can't think of anything to write. Frozen in my failure, I want to quit, but I push through and show up here...even though it seems pointless. Who wants to read a blog post about nothing?  I begin to panic a bit...Have I "lost it"? My passion for blogging? My ability to blog? Why can't I think of something clever? What do I have to say that anyone will want to read? (By the way, I'd have all of these answers if it was you asking the questions!) Should I quit? Give up? Accept defeat? NO.  Instead, I show up.  Instead, I remember the words I said yesterday to my seventh-graders,  "Show up. It gets easier." Instead, I write and show grace to myself. Instead, I remember that blogging is a muscle that I haven't stretched in a while and I need to warm up, I need to take some deep breaths. Here I am. Showing up to the page. I'...

Someday...

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers . Do you have dreams? Kids are good at dreaming. I find many adults struggle with it. Speaking for myself, I get so caught up in the everyday drudgery of life, that dreams get nudged aside until they disappear.  It's important to have dreams. I've been writing about my dreams in my notebook and so I thought I'd share my dreams here... 1. Writing a book.  While I'd love to get a book published, my dream is to write a book...to complete the act of writing it.  I've started on this dream and it's hard and challenging and exciting and amazing.  2. Living at the beach.    I love the water, the waves, the ocean smell, the seafood, the sand...all of it! The Outer Banks is my favorite place in the...

Chasing My Dream

I'm doing it. I'm chasing my dream. I've always wanted to run writing retreats and workshops for people, but I've always been too scared to do anything about it...until now. I don't know what's changed...maybe I've changed. I'm not allowing the fear to stop me anymore. I've started Selah Writing Retreats.  The past couple of weeks I've been getting the business end in order. I thought I would hate that...I don't. It's scary, but I am surprising myself with how efficient I am. Yesterday I went to a bank to set up a bank account. The woman I met with was kind and helpful and so enthusiastic about my dream. My website is set up. I've done lots of work on it. I hope you stop by and let me know what you think. It's  selahwritingretreats.com . Balancing creative with business has been challenging but fun. Creating the website, getting a federal tax id, making business cards, planning dates... My favorite voxer group is called Butt Ki...
