Veteran blog followers know that there are some pretty deep feelings within me about the Appalachian Trail. I’ve section-hiked parts of it, but I am nowhere near completing the 2,175 miles that stretch from Georgia to Maine. I’ve had my ups and downs when on those hikes, and I have this constant yearning to return…

Photo: http://hamptonrdsvop.wordpress.com/ Folks, I’m not really sure if there’s a surge in unhappiness and unrest around me, or if God is sharpening my sensitivity to the hurt and pain in this world. Lately, though (and I mean in just the last few weeks), many of my friends and people I love are struggling with life.…

I’m listening to David Gray’s CD, Foundling, which I picked up at the library tonight at the suggestion of a good friend. Such a contemplative, yet soothing tracklist. Love it. A former student of mine first told me about David Gray in 2006 (I still have the CD she burned for me that year), and…

Call it cheating…but on nights like this, when I’m teaching from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., I’m pretty drained. So, I think I’m going to, on occasion, pull a post from the archives here on my blog and re-share with all of you. This post, written and published originally on January 12, 2008, is pretty…

Short and sweet. I got six girls over for a sleepover with Holland. Need I say more? Saw Gnomeo and Juliet today at the prescreening event at Arundel Mills. Look, I don’t get out too often to catch a movie, but when I do, it doesn’t take much for me to like it. This movie,…

I’m sorry to say that the folks I wanted to spotlight this week were 1) too busy for the interview or 2) decided against it for some reason. 😦 No worries, though! I’ve already made some contacts for next week (ah, yes! Ahead of the game!), and so I hope that this will be the…

I’ve been quite fortunate today, as I have had several strong, healthy conversations with friends and colleagues, and between those words shared, I’ve peppered in a good number of lighter discussions that have been both fun and inspiring. This takes me down a slightly dangerous road, but I’m going to make the point anyway. Despite…
