ABOUT ME

hmmm, i have been wandering about this earth and finding myself in new places as if i am carried by a current, learning to look for the signs in life that are posted but are easy to ignore or miss, open minded, easy going, still need dance lessons ~ though i do try...

PHILOSOPHY

having learned the hard way = life and what it is and becomes is up to me, we each create our own path... nor can we live without others... we are all bound up in the same grand tale...

Teach, Learn, Share

as a teacher i have learned a lot about being with kids, and it seems that they are in desperate need of a world that will still be here for them, where they have a voice and opportunities to transcend our tired, old broken ways to doing things...

they thrive on freedom when it's bound with real~world responsibility
