I found myself in an interesting situation in the first 2 weeks of school with a young student. I’m going to call this student Buddy (B). I guess Buddy decided to start this year off on the wrong foot. I teach preschool-8th grade music and Buddy thought that from day 1, music was a good … More Learning between the lines.

The last couple months have been a somewhat unnerving journey for me. I’ve been reading a very eye-opening book while attempting to change my relationship with food.

My mind is always toying with me. I’m like the little mouse and my spinning brain is like an ADD inflicted cat. There is always another plan or an idea or brainstorm.

This morning I was thinking…Mon-Wed of “Holy Week” don’t get any love. We have Palm Sunday (2 days ago), where Jesus humbly rode into Jerusalem on a donkey (per his request!
