About Me

I first post to this blog was in January of 2011.  My plan was to take a picture every day for 365 days during that year.  Well, that didn't really last, but I did realize I liked having a space to play and write that wasn't as formal as my Reflect and Refine blog.

Since then this blog has evolved a bit.  I use this space to write and share, but also to collaborate.  I join many collaborative events from this blog:



Mary Lee Hahn at A Year of Reading keeps up to date event calendars.




When I began blogging nearly four years ago I told myself I'd never let it become something I had to do.  I blog because I enjoy writing so I take the time to post and join link ups as my schedule, and my muse, allows.  

Thanks for stopping by. 

You'll find more information about me on my home blog, Reflect and Refine:  Building a Learning Community.

Or are they just small confectionery candies for conversation? Cool dude, charm me. Let's do lunch in style. Chill out, Sugar Pie. XOXO, BFF. How many characters are necessary to know the heart? Colorful confections, marvelous merriment, However, I prefer     my calories         in chocolate. © Cathy L.

Slice of Life: Savor Summer

Today I'm joining a  Slice of Life  hosted by Two Writing Teachers.  Stop by for links to this amazing community of writers.  Recently  Jill Fisch  posted this on her Facebook page: Jill Fisch's new blog:   I Notice, I Wonder For me, summer hasn't been slow.  It's been busy.  Though I've been out of school since the beginning of June, it wasn't until July 16th, that my professional work took a bit of a break.  Every week since school ended I've been involved in meetings, professional development sessions, completing work related to school, and catching up on professional reading.  Now, granted, the schedule has been a bit more slowed, but it's still been full of professional work.  Finally on July 16th, I decided I was able to find the time for a two week break (sort of).   In one of those paused moments in the last few days, Jill's post caught my attention as I read ….
