sols: one little note

Slice of Life hosted at the 
Join in and share a slice of your life.



Have you ever had one of "those" days?
A day where you feel deflated and exhausted?  Busy and unbalanced?
And then in one little moment your day turned right side up?

An email arrived in the middle of the day with
an unexpected note from a friend with impeccable timing
that whispered, "I'm thinking of you and hope all is well."

Thoughtful words that --
Made me smile.
Gave me strength.
Filled my soul.

So, do me a favor?
Go now. Send an email to a friend.
Let them know you are thinking of them.

A gift of words reaching out
that meant the world to me.
Let your words do the same for another.

    What a great reminder. I just received an email from a student today that made me smile as well - mentioning something he appreciated. It is always nice to receive emails like that giving feedback on what is working. I am glad that your friend decided to send you this message and that the timing was perfect for you!

    Not only did this little note cheer you up but inspired a lovely poem also. I took upon your advice and sent a little note to a friend. Thank you for sharing and thank you for writing. Hug.

    A note, a smile, a hug - that's all it takes to turn our day around. So glad that you received a warm fuzzy to brighten your day! You are thought about and prayed for each and every day. Love ya, Mom.

    You're so, so right, Michelle. Sending a little love with notes brightens both the sender and the receiver! Happy Valentine's Day!

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...
