"Where the Wild Things Are" & Movie Review
1 month ago
I’m looking forward to seeing this movie today with my son…
The reviews sound pretty good!
:D
will report back!
Review:
I just viewed the movie and I have to say… I found it to be a bit “odd”. I can’t say if I really like it or not. It definitely is NOT for kids. Some people brought their small children to see the show and they were crying and moving about. It was nothing like I expected.

Cooking~
1 month ago
I really enjoyed cooking this weekend~ I made a few delicious Nepali vegetarian dishes that were very flavorful! I think I was so busy for the past few years with working full time, going to school, doing my internship, and an assortment of other things that I did not/could not truly enjoy the simple pleasure of cooking.
I am already exploring my next recipe!

~Walking & Talking~
6 months ago
After being injured for the past three weeks I truly appreciate the simple pleasure of walking...
Today I walked for two miles on a hilly path~ I was a bit nervous at first, but took it slow and it was fine.
My friend walked slowly with me and we had a wonderful conversation. Now that we are both finished with our Master’s we have time to catch up and walk together…and we truly enjoyed the simple pleasure of Walking and Talking !

~Cathartic Reflection~
6 months ago
Today I was working on my discardia goal and spent several hours in my classroom going through all of my teaching stuff and separating it into different piles. Primary over here, upper-grade over there, some items for the trash, and some to take with me to Nepal for the teachers and the library there.
I came across a bag with pictures and letters that I’d kept from my start of teaching up until recent years. It was great fun and very cathartic for me to sit down and view the pictures, read the notes and letters, and remember how awesome this part of my life has been. I can say truly, I did a good job! I made a difference in those lives…that feels good. For that…I am so thankful! :)
I cried a lot and it felt good… looking at the faces of my students I had in first grade who are now in 5th and 6th grade~ I will give them those pictures this week when I see them! It will be fun to give them those pictures…and we can both remember those fun times!
I think cleaning that classroom out and finding those pictures and letters has been helpful because it validates those years of teaching, those years of giving it all and giving my best. It reminded me of what really mattered…and for what really mattered ~
I was so there... that feels good.
Looking at those pictures and the experience today also showed me how much I have grown and changed…and that it is time for me to move on...
it was a good day of healing reflection and the making of new space for the next leg of the journey…
