“The book is actually a good primer on the Waldorf system as well as being a delightful personal account.” – S.

“The author has a candid and humorous writing style, sprinkled with word play and metaphors that are fresh and funny.” N.C.

Visitors bring the perfect opportunity to explore your town. We did loads of shopping on Patima's first day. I felt quite lucky easily finding nice shoes 👟 and two new dresses 👗for a good price. The BF even got new swim trunks. She also helped us figure out some things as she is Thai American, with near perfect command of the language.🍭 And she introduced us to her childhood friend who gave us a little tour.😊 Patima really wanted to go to the beach, so we went to Mae RumPueng, ate seafood, and went to these nice gardens along the coast. We finished the day meeting her family.🐠🐟🐡 Today I had a normal day and I'm happy to be back in my routine before we head off to one of the islands for a mini-getaway!

Reading glasses! 😣😅🤓 I thought I needed them years ago, but what I figured out was my eyesight changed when it was that time of the month! #girlstuff But now, I definitely need them to read at work and when I do lesson planning. 📚 Reminds me of my h.s. theatre teacher who always peered up at us over her reading glasses. I wonder if I can try that now with my students. 😆 #Sapiens is an interesting book so far. I read the criticisms so I'm reading it more critically than I normally would. The first chapter was mostly a refresher of undergrad work. Overall tho, I'm curious where Harari will take us. 🤔 #booknerd

It felt strange to no longer post everyday after my 3rd #365daysofgratitude but it has also been a relief to take a break. I no longer look for photo ops, often I dont take pics for days. 🐥 Sometimes I think about starting a new challenge, but mostly I like the idea of waiting. The gratitude practice, at this pt in my life, is still a daily practice. 🐦 * I know I shouldnt take these things too seriously, but I love it when my former students tell me they miss me and the hug me. 🐘 * I like that the BF and I have gone plant and fish crazy. Being domestic is fun, but for now no more plants or fish! 🐠 * I'm in happy reading land. Still loving my bimonthly newsletter, blogging, and short story practice. #lifeisgood 🐛
