You can pick your friends, but family…that’s in the stars

Those of you who know me know I have a tenuous relationship with my mother. I love her dearly, but I’m grateful that I don’t always have to like her.
My mother is an incredible woman. She’s very intelligent, creative, elegant, and kind. She can make something out of nothing without even thinking about it. She’s […]

A community of nurturers

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” — Nelson Henderson

Worthwhile’s Thoughts for the Day have been wonderful lately. This particular quote can be interpreted so many ways. You can read it at face value, and go plant a tree who won’t be full-grown until […]

I have some appeal at least…too bad it’s with the underage crowd

Yesterday, I posted all those great reminders for myself, and forgot one great one from last night!
I was at work wandering the floor, checking to make sure everybody was okay. I started to walk past one of the math tables and hear, “The ladies have it easy in that respect.” Intrigued, I asked what the […]

A reminder

In a month that seems to need to see how much I can take before I break, I thought I’d best gather up some things recently said to me.
“You’re a good person with a good heart.”- paraphrased from fellow wrimo Mike
“She’s a good teacher, even if I’ve been teaching much longer than she has.”- fellow […]

Well, it really is what I ultimately aspire to be…

A number of the bloggers I read have been excited to see themselves at the top of Google’s blog search for certain keywords.
I guess it’s my turn now. A post on my EducationNiche blog holds the top spot for “lifelong learner”, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
Truly, if I could be a career student, I’d […]

Writing is the new teaching

I’m starting to feel a bit silly. It appears I won’t consider a
potential entrepreneurial venture unless there’s a writing component to
it. I can remember when I used to require some sort of teaching
component, but my current trend seems to be writing.

This would be useful if I was actually organizing into a real operating
business of some […]

Life’s funny sometimes

I have two friends, both of whom are very dear to me, both of whom claim me.
No, no. Really. They do. As far as both of them are concerned, I’m theirs.
One I’ve known since middle school, and is one of those people that I will always treasure (even if i treat him poorly without remorse). […]

JewelryNiche (sp) is finally operational!

This morning, I finally got some pieces up on eBay for auction. Feel free to wander over and take a look.
You can tell from this posting that marketing is really not my strength, and that I was half awake as I was renaming my old selling account to JewelryNiche. I’ll fix it at the next […]

Stress…it’s a killer

It didn’t occur to me until a couple of days ago that I haven’t really posted here in a while. A lot of that is tied up in issues going on in my personal life.
The bad news is that a doctor has finally decided my stress isn’t imaginary and so I’m on a forced leave […]

Catching up with the blogosphere

Apparently, I’ve been too busy to post here in the past two weeks. Perhaps once I’ve explained, my readship will forgive me.
1. I am still spending a number of hours searching for and applying for jobs.  I’m even braving the world of networking a little bit.  Fortunately, Seattle seems to be much more network-minded that […]
