It's a Party!

Leigh Anne Eck from A Day in the Life blog is throwing a party. She's invited slicers here. This is a great way to connect with our community of slicers so today I'm RSVPing yes. 

This is what I am bringing to the party:

Favorite book:  Too many to pick just one...Anne of Green Gables is my all-time favorite, Intention is my current favorite professional book, and Word Collector is my current favorite picture book. 

Favorite person:  I'd bring my friend Chrissy. She's an amazing teacher and a beacon of light. We get to work in the same school this year and it's amazing. She's always fun at a party and I know you'd all love her!

Favorite food or beverage:  Since it's March, almost April, I'm obsessed with Cadbury Mini-Eggs. Mmmmm! I'll bring my favorite pasta dish too...spaghetti with anchovies. It's comfort food for me. 

Favorite song:  Last week, I asked my students to share songs that made them happy. I'm going to share a song that was shared with me: Believer by Imagine Dragons. It's catchy, positive, and fun! I think it's a good party song. 

Surprise: I'd bring each of you some happy, colorful school supplies...pens, pencils, binder clips. School supplies make me happy. 


Doesn't this sound like a fun party?!?! Please join us! Celebrate!!!


Let's get this party started!



March is the Slice of Life Challenge.
I'll be sharing a post each day in the month of March.
Please join me at Two Writing Teachers to read more slices!

      Please do join us, Judy! Many slicers join toward the end of the month when ideas are getting hard to find, and we are tired! I look forward to seeing you.

    What a fun slice! I read another slicer today who used the same format. I loved them both. Thank you for sharing.

    I'd love to come to your party, especially if it includes colored pens and a writing prompt. I forgot about Leigh Anne's party. I need to RSVP soon.

    I love your book and surprise! Not sure I could eat the spaghetti or mini-eggs as I am pretty picky. Your sister sounds fabulous! I had never heard that song, so I looked it up. AMAZING! I am going to play it tomorrow in my classroom. Thanks!

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...
