My First Blog

Hello! My name is Marilyn and some of you may already know me as your crazy English teacher.  I decided to make a blog and share my crazy ideas and questions during these insane times.  The quarantine has changed our entire life and it seems as if it has all gone upside down.  However, we can always manage ways to use our time to create new ways of living and share ideas to inspire hope, happiness, and curiosity.  For me this is a space for ideas to flow...questions to be asked...and sharing feelings openly.  I invite you to embark on this journey to discover new things with me and that we may share a delightful moments where lightbulbs illuminate in our minds and our hearts.

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.

Our fondest memories are always involved one way or another with water.  Just try and remember a good vacation, chances are it was at a river, lake, or an ocean.  You probably recall the comforting swim, a nice meal, and laughter with friends.  Here in Galicia, we are forged in salt water.  It is our daily life, our inspiration, and our sustenance for living. We can't live without it.  There have been countless poems and books dedicated to the sea, especially here in Galicia.     Today, we are going to talk about the very magnificent body of water which is the ocean which takes up around 70% of the surface on our planet. They don't call us the blue planet fo...
