Morning
What’s your favorite time of day? I’m a morning person and am awake by 5am. I love the quiet of the morning. I pray in the morning. I make coffee. The mist covers the foothills. The birds start to speak to the earth. The sun rises. The new day is a gift that I’m grateful…

Memories in Boxes
Learning does not have to take place in a classroom. I like learning. I like people and I like working on creative projects with them. They keep me thinking, they challenge me. Sharing knowledge helps me grow. For the past seven years or so, my life has been a little chaotic at times. It’s been…

Who are you?
Identity is both seen and unseen. Visual aspects, or the seen aspects of our identity, include our clothing, our race, our visible features, age and weight.
