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.

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.
