Video games are a big part of my life. When I was a child, my father worked in the computer section of AT&T. I remember him bringing home the very earliest “computer game” and spending hours playing it. My husband is a huge World of Warcraft and Everquest fan. Both kids are avid gamers. In […]
The civil rights movement is still very much alive today. I was born in the sixties and I didn’t really know much about the civil rights movement except for what was taught in schools. I’ve never seen a sit-in or a march or a demonstration. It’s more important to me what type of person you […]
Making learning fun is one of the most important things that educators can do. When children see learning as boring or something that has to be done rather than something they want to do, it stops as soon as they aren’t required to do it. Lifelong learning is something we can all enjoy when it’s […]

I’ve been fascinated with learning about the saints ever since I learned that I was born on the Feast of Saint Nicholas (December 6). One of my favorite saints was Saint Francis because he is the patron saint of animals. I’ve always been curious about how people are inspired to live their lives so when I […]
I have always been fascinated by the suicide forest in Japan. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s the place where people go to kill themselves in Japan. It is supposedly haunted and no one will enter it unless they want to die. It is a 14 square mile forest that lies at the northwest […]
When I was little, I loved to daydream. I can remember sitting under a tree (or on my bed) with my eyes closed for hours just thinking. I always lived in magical worlds and had amazing adventures. When I wasn’t daydreaming, you could find me with my nose in a book. The Surprising Imagination of […]
I’ve always encouraged my kids to read. From as early as I can remember, either I was reading them a story or they were reading one themselves.
