Dream a little dream with me...

Today is yet another grey day. It seems harder to cope with being indoors if the sun isn't shining. Does anyone else feel the same way? I think a daily dose of sunshine is healthy and uplifting. So tell me do you like sunbathing? I'm a big beach fan. So let's daydream a little shall we? I'd like you to imagine a beautiful sunny place you'd go to, if you had a chance. Perhaps, it would be Greece, Hawaii, Cuba, or Rome.. Wherever it is I'd like you to draw it out. Go online and find a specific place in your dream country where you would go if you could. It has to be outside of your country.

Once you've decided the country and the place you'll need to tell me all about it. Where you'd stay whether it be a B&B, hotel, rental house etc and where you would eat. State specific restaurants and food trucks if any... and what you'd do there. As if you were planning your very own vacation where you'd do anything you want to do. You can send me a video or a written assignment on PowerPoint or anything similar. I'd like videos and specific places and then you can site them at the end. The best assignment will get posted here on my blog. So let's embark on a little holiday while we are confined in this dark dreary day. Touristic videos are welcome and very much appreciated. Ok come on let's go.

Send all the work to my email here.

I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Tea with Beatrix

Beatrix Potter´s paintings and stories still capture the attention of many today. There´s something about imagining a secret life of animals similiar to humans that makes it all the more fascinating. I remember the first time my sister gave me one of her books. It was " The Roly Poly Pudding " also known as "The Tale of Samuel Whiskers"which was about a very naughty kitten and a family of mice that decided to eat him. It was so scandelous for me because it is usually the other way round...you know! The cat usually eats the mouse! However, in this story the mice planned to eat the kitten. I thought it was hillarious. All the characters were really adorable and they all had really great stories. I started to picture myself and neighbors as animals dressed up in Victorian era clothing with their personalities and it was all really fun. If you were an forest animal what would you be? I bet most of you know the 2018 movie " Pet...

We are one.

Be a rainbow in someone´s cloud-Maya Angelou Here is a woman who has inspired me throughout my life; a woman who knew suffering as a person of color in a world of bigotry, and whose deep words have inspired many to rise above and beyond. Her words have touched my soul because they speak of love and gratitude, of overcoming adversity and the feeling of joy amist darkness. We are living in very chaotic times right now, where hate and rage are running rampant in my country, the United States, and the world. We tend to think, "well, if nothing bad is happening here where I live, it's not going to happen; so I don't care"-- but if Covid-19 has taught us anything during these times of confinement, it´s that we cannot ignore what is happening in other parts of the world. If it happens elsewhere, it can happen, or is happening --here. In these uncertain times, we must hold onto each other as a collective. We are all one, regardless of skin color, r...
