Write a Poem for Mrs. Tanksley and WIN!
April 26, 2011

As most of you know, before becoming a life coach I was as a middle school English teacher. One of my favorite things to teach in my classroom was poetry. I especially liked teaching my students about writing poetry. My bag of tricks was filled to the brim with interesting prompts and activities that I collected over the years, all designed to bring out the poet inside each of my students. Read more

April 7, 2011
When I celebrated my one year blogiversary with The Blog Song this past February, I was delighted to receive several emails from friends saying that their young daughters really enjoyed my goofy production.

Happy Saturday, my lovely friends! This is just a quick reminder/request to send me a short video of your dancing feet. I’ve received a very small handful of AWESOME videos, but I don’t yet have enough FOOTage to create the project I’m envisioning.

Dance-y Feet
January 18, 2011
When I was a little girl, I would often get in trouble for tapping my feet and making too much noise during church.

Well, I hope so because I have an invitation for you! Read more
