If the world were a
fast falling fountain flowing
hope could spring up now

Hope springs up like a
fountain spilling over heart
borders and fears too

The fall fountain falls
Gently on the hurting place
protecting one's peace

Dear WriteOut,
Oh how I 've missed you.
Let me count the ways.
Your light illuminates my path, your gentle breeze cools the heat of my thoughts, your blue sky sings of hope and healing, you are my solace and in your soft solitude I surrender.

Bubbling goodness inside

The last official teacher day was today! I miss my kiddos! Now is the time to rest, heal, learn, advocate, teach, grow, inspire, engage in self-care, and spend time with my daughters! #summervibes #summer2025 #schoolisoutforsummer

Jack just followed Zachariah's creek, hunting
freedom, his
head held low, feet moving,
faster than a flash of lightning, chasing down
freedom, like a starved hell hound, craving liberty, its marrow to satisfy his searching soul

This was a beautiful moment in my classroom- my ELL who speaks very little English, voluntarily helped my bilingual students convert their poems into Spanish, for their Father's Day poems! I loved seeing student collaboration!

Nature, nestled
so beautifully beneath
an open heaven,
so peaceful,
tranquil,
picturesque,
masterpiece,
daunting,
mysterious,
rugged,
inspirational,
inspirational,
humble,
soaked in good gifts,
like an unfurled
leaf
left for the taking.
