SOLS: Learning and Sharing

Slice of Life Stories hosted



There is so much information out there in cyberspace.
I know I can't keep up, but I read and watch what I can when I can.
This last week, I shared many items of interest -- to me -- with my colleagues.


Who knows what they think when I share . . .
If something caused me to ponder and reflect,
then I want to share it with others.

Anyone can take it or leave it:
It's about planting a seed allowing us to stop and think.
And I'm thankful for those who can just say it better than I can.


I have a passion for learning and sharing --
Making me a better

    I love that video, but it scares me too. There is so much that I don't know in the electronic world. Life changes quickly. Thanks for sharing these links.

    I think sometimes on-line communities are like the jigsaw strategy. We each share with each other and take back new information to our own groups.

    I think this helps each of us to keep learning. It also helps us to share what inspires us. I am glad you are part of the on-line community.

    That is great to hear that you shared such inspiring things with your colleagues. I'm glad you shared it with us as well! The promise poem was something I needed to hear today! I hope your week is going well.

    It's wonderful to share what inspires you with others. I try to do that whenever I post something on Facebook (or when I tweet something that piques my interest on Twitter -- which isn't as often). I never know what people think unless I see a comment. Comments are so much better than "likes" aren't they? They're much more telling.

    Continue sharing and others will continue to be inspired by you.

    I didn't know some of these, so carry on Michelle with the sharing. It is so like the Jigsaw teaching that Ruth shared (above). In a community, pooling our knowledge, is powerful stuff. Thanks much!

    Wow, great poem! I liked your uncertainty about sharing with your colleagues -- not sure what they would get out of it, but then feeling glad for planting the seed nonetheless. That's how I feel when I blog -- not sure if anyone will care about my ideas, but hoping I plant a seed with someone! Also, I had never read the 12 things or the promise poem, and they were both amazing! Thanks for sharing! (I'm going to print them out and put them by my desk!)

    You know when someone's way of thinking just seems like your own thoughts--only better? That's how I feel when I read your posts. I am always nudged by what you share. Thanks once again!

    It is a great thing to inspire others. Showing that you are vulnerable and sharing, that is inspiring.

    Keep sharing because that's how you learn - by getting response back from your sharing. That's what my conference is all about this week - networking with other OP's who do the same job I do. It's interesting learning their insights into what we are doing.
    Thanks for sharing with me - always. Love ya bunches - can't wait to visit. M

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
