Activities
My first love is teaching children, second love is growing beautiful things! Interested in feng shui, native american flute music, reading just about anything, nature, the great outdoors, and doing whatever I can do to be the best me I can be.
Favorite Charities
The Red Cross and the Salvation Army
Favorite Music
Current favorite music is by the 'pop opera' group, il divo. I listen to them every day in my truck on my way to and from work. So relaxing!! Also love native american flute music.
Favorite TV Shows
I watch very little tv, but I do like to watch home remodeling/decorating shows, gardening/landscaping shows, nature shows, and history shows. Love HGTV, but don't have cable so only see it when staying in motels.
Favorite Movies
Seldom every sit still long enough to watch a movie all the way through, but favorites are adventure movies and comedies.
Favorite Books
I love books by Matthew Kelly including, "The Rhythm of Life" Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose, and "The Seven Levels of Intimacy" The Art of Loving and the Joy of Being Loved. Both are outstanding books I highly recommend.
Favorite Quotes
Too many to list. I love quotes about being positive, optimistic, grateful, and responsible for one's actions rather than being a victim or practicing 'learned helplessness'.
Favorite People
Mother Teresa and my twenty-two amazing third graders
Favorite Places
Anywhere I can be alone with nature, and my classroom with my students
Favorite Animals
I love animals. I don't really have a favorite animal in my life.
