Before I saw this on the news, a friend sent me a link to this article, New Orleans Pelicans Reveal Stunning ‘King Cake Baby’ Mascot. It’s creepy and all I can think is someone or someones had waaaaayyyyy too much to drink when this idea was hatched. Now those who know me know how proud […]
I love this quote because it shows how language perpetuates thoughts, assumptions, and systematic beliefs. There’s always more we can do to draw attention to deeply imbedded assumptions.
Yesterday I got caught up in thinking too much about the future, and one of my dear friends basically called me out by posting this to my facebook wall. I’m just gonna leave it right here for us all to ponder.
Two things I think about on almost a daily basis. The passion one is hard because people don’t always understand it. But my passion for family, friends, students, and life is who I am at the core. The times in my life where I have tried to repress my passion have been some of the […]
Hospira’s Commitment. So this is Shane’s company. It shows the important work he does to make sure safe, quality products leave the plant everyday. If you’re in the hospital and getting an IV of something, chances are it’s probably made in Rocky Mount, NC.

It’s one thing to know things intellectually about ourselves, and as an academic, I am really good about intellectualizing feelings and rationalizing things. I can persuade myself and provide analysis about my thoughts, feelings, actions. And almost everything I’ve ever put my whole mind and heart and sheer will into, I have achieved. But, there […]
I saw an image today, and it really made me laugh and think. I don’t drink lots of tea, but I have several friends who are tea connoisseurs. (For me, I’m more a Long Island Tea drinker.) They have tea parties, and I actually really enjoy drinking tea, eating scones, and other goodies. It’s quite […]
I’ve been thinking lots about this lately, and then it popped up on my fb feed, which I saw as a sign I was to add this to the blog. I’m not quite ready to write about it yet and why I have been thinking about it. My plan is to follow-up on this post […]
