I’ve been reading Lao Tse’s words this week. Why? Because. It’s nice to contemplate something new and simple. Here are some of my favorites: He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent.

Dear Whoever My Boss is: I would address you personally, but I have no idea who I report to. Today has been a “not too hot” day. I was unable to print off my assignments this morning on the faculty printer. I was asked to send students to see their advisor during a class break.Continue reading “A Calm and Collected Letter”

My girls in young women are incredible. They started a new program that they call “warm and fuzzies”. They madeContinue reading “Sunday Thoughts”

I’m in Roanoke, VA staying in a wonderful motel. The sheets are white and crisp and clean. The shower was heaven and I am luxuriating in the morning. We opened the show in Floyd last night after doing a great workshop at the local high school. It was a great day. Last night, we droveContinue reading “The magic of motels”

New Quarter. Less chill time. But–I still love and adore my job. Just less chill time. So, as promised, here is an exploration of the things that I personally love. I feel the need to make these lists so that I don’t make up new answers to these questions just to appease the hot guyContinue reading “Favorites Part 1”
