sols: some days

Slice of Life Stories hosted


some days are
easy, fast-paced,
check-it-off-your-to-do-list
kind of days.

some days are
action-packed and challenging
so nothing-gets-accomplished
kind of days.

some days i
take time to laugh
and live in the
moment.

some days i
struggle to see
the joy in the littlest
moments.

some days i
can't wait to write
and share my
story.

some days i
don't want to write.
end. of.
story.

but today,
another some day,
i decided to write
anyways.

    Thank goodness each day is different or else what a boring life we would lead. I'm sure we include a little of the above in each day. And what would we do if we didn't write? Thanks for sharing your struggles and joys! Love ya M

    And then somedays turns into a poem that is so spot on. We all have those days where we have to dig deep to find that hidden gem. You are a master poem creator!

    That's the way to go - don't want to write, but write anyways. The words may surprise us.

    Like the repetition & the meaning behind each verse. It's just busy 'some' days, you're so right, Michelle.

    Just think, you would have missed all these comments if you'd chosen not to write today!

    The old, fingers on the keyboard, method of getting started. I know exactly what you mean! Glad you took the time to share this. I think we all can relate.

    (love the "some days" repetition)

    Right moment, right read!
    Some days are just meant to be
    That way...
    That's the SOL!

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing. She shares how we can use research ...

soLs: a week

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the  Two Writing Teachers I can't believe it's already been one whole week. Sometimes vacations are over in a blink, but other times vacations move slowly to enjoy every moment.  That's how this vacation is going - slowly, but with so much to enjoy. Of course, it is hard being away from home and the every-day-usual, but what I have truly enjoyed the most is the evenings.  After the girls are tucked in bed, it becomes my time to do what I choose to do because I have NO to-do list!  Nothing!  No cleaning, no laundry (thanks Mom!), no dinner (thanks Dad!), no dishes, no nothing.  Instead I have guilt-free time to read books, browse Twitter, catch up on blog reading, scrounge...

soLs: a (proud) little secret

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the  Two Writing Teachers Come here.   Come closer.   I have a secret to share with you.   I'm really excited about it and I haven't told anyone except my mom , my hubby, and my friend, colleague, and writing buddy . I receive notifications of comments on my blog on my email at school.  I think all of you will agree, it's always exciting to see that a new comment was left behind.  It never gets old.  Everyone loves a visitor, a voice that let's you know that you've been heard, and a comment that keeps you writing. I know I don't say it enough, but I really appreciate when YOU stop by and YOU leave a little note because YOU matter to me.   Most comments pour in on Tuesday as slicers are doing their very best to read and leave a supportive note that day.  A few comments tr...
