  • Count Down To Mother's Day
    May 7 2023

    Mother's Day? I say Mothering Day because being a mother is more that the biology. It is the ability to nurture someone towards positive change. There are many women who are live givers. They exist in every part of society. What makes them special is that they come along side you and speak life into your situation. They are willing to be vulnerable, love, and perservere. They are my greatest cheer leaders, and the ones who will speak truth to me even when it hurts. I hope you have someone who is that Candid in your life. We all need them. Cheers!

  • Life Changing Teacher-Student Moments
    Feb 24 2023

    As teachers, our words and actions matter. In this podcast, I share some personal stories about my interactions with students, teachers, and parents.  I reflect on each experience offering some practical advice to help teachers function effectively in the classroom. The stories are as follows: Put your best foot forward/Caught in the crossfire/Please pray for my mother/Care enough to share/The power of small wins/What Next?/Take 5/Responding to the unexpected/Stamp of approval

    Pablo Casals says it well, "To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world."

    I believe we are all Educators in different capacities- we are always teaching and learning through our words and actions. My prayer is that we use our time, talents, and treasure to teach the right thing so that lives will be positively impacted forever. God bless. Keep on keeping on! Lydia
