SOLSC: Happiness is . . .

SOLSC: Happiness is . . . - 7/31

The Slice of Life Story Challenge

Happiness is . . . An Updated Version

Yesterday I wrote a slice about the beauty of collaboration. Today's slice is a perfect illustration reflecting the power of collaborating. Diana, an author at One Literacy Coach and an e-colleague participating in the SOLSC, shared this great idea of narrowing the focus of the "Happiness is . . ." list/poem that I wrote a few weeks ago. Thank you, Diana! Here is my attempt at narrowing the focus of my slice for today.

Happiness is . . . love.
The passionate and forgiving love of my husband.
The unconditional and trusting love of my daughters.
The enthusiastic, encouraging, and honest love of my mother.
The safe and enduring love of my family.
The generous, soft and cuddly love of my four-legged fur ball.
The compassionate and supportive love of my friends.
The admirable and dedicated love of my colleagues and students.
The respectful and inspirational love of my blogging buddies and e-colleagues.
Love . . . is happiness.

Can you tell I'm in a good place right now? Feel the love.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted at the Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters. I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true. Even if they don't fully understand it today. In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them. However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war. My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
