Board Room to Classroom – 1
Aside from wanting to be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader, my earliest memory of what I wanted to be when I grew up was a Teacher. As a child armed with leftover mimeograph copies from my school I ran a school room in my bedroom passing out, taking up and grading papers of my imaginary students. Throughout my…
Read MorePapa – A Legacy
My Mom and I sat at the kitchen table Wednesday morning having coffee, talking about the decline of my Papa and his eminent death when my Mom mentioned to me if there was anything I would want to share at his funeral, or write. It brought a lump to my throat just thinking about it, much less…

Realizing despite a learning difficulty, every student can learn; they just might need a different perspective or technique to be successful. Isn’t that how life is?

With a lock in my hand and one last glimpse inside, I closed the door, turned the key and locked up most everything I own in a 12′ x 12′ box praying it would all be safe inside until I returned to retrieve it. The boxes of my life have been in what feels like…

As the calendar turns to March, my heart always feels a little heavier and slightly anxious. I often think with years passing that feeling would ease up a bit. Though, year after year, it still comes and goes with the same anxiety. This year as March 22nd approached, I really questioned within myself why 16 years…
