OH MY GOSH!!!
This so brings me back!

Oh Praise Him

David Crowder is ONE OF A KIND!!!
This was so awesome!

Superchic(k): Stand in the Rain

This was the FIRST group we saw when we got to Sonshine.
I was WAY back at this point. As I go along...I get a LOT closer to the front!

SonShine Festival

This is NOT MY VIDEO...but I was totally in this audience on the right side of the stage (if you were looking out on the crowd!)

Superchic: Stand in the Rain

The first performance I saw at Sonshine!!
This song is so awesome!!

Classes

I am finishing up my first class at Hamline.
During some discussions a classmate said that one of her colleagues says:
"First the heart, then the mind."
As a teacher, I am passionate about literacy, and strive to instill the love of reading in each of my students. I actually think I do a pretty good job of it too.
I am going to begin The Writing Workshop this year.
The quote "First the heart, then the mind." really hit me as I begin this. It's about grabbing the heart of my students, and the stories they have to tell....and helping them get it down on paper.
I believe I am actually excited to start school.

Madonna

Remember how awesome Madonna was when she first started her career?
I wanted to BE Madonna.
Her film, Desperately Seeking Susan, was my favorite at the time.
I recently saw a photo montage showing the 50 best looks of Madonna.
This is by far my favorite era of Madonna.
Lucky Star, Burning Up, Crazy for You, Borderline...
No real reason for a Madonna post, except that I saw this picture and wanted to write a post about it because it reminds me of my first few years of college, oh, so very long ago.
