The Power of Nostalgia (especially of the 80s variety)

The Power of Nostalgia (especially of the 80s variety)

Journal writing can be an extremely introspective experience, especially if you read entries from many years ago and compare your past self to your present self. Photo albums, on the other hand, are usually more of a shear reminiscence experience, […]

Always stop at lemonade stands: Make a kid’s day today!

Always stop at lemonade stands: Make a kid’s day today!

I have some great neighbors who have recently taught me, or more accurately put, reminded me of a valuable life lesson – to try to make a kid’s day regularly. These neighbors made my daughters’ day by satisfying their entrepreneurial […]

Middle School Teachers have no shame!

Middle School Teachers have no shame!

Often, middle school teachers have to put themselves on their students’ levels. Two perfect opportunities to do this at my school are during Spirit Week (Homecoming) and Red Ribbon Week (week before Halloween). During those weeks, I do my best to make […]

Easter with new meaning: a tribute to Uncle John

Easter with new meaning: a tribute to Uncle John

Easter took on extra significance for me this year. It will be an Easter I’ll never forget. Two mornings ago I entered a hospital room with my mother where my Uncle John’s mortal body laid, his spirit having left it only 20 minutes […]

It’s Zion. Not Zions (or Zion’s)

It’s Zion. Not Zions (or Zion’s)

While staying at a good friend’s house who lives in Wasatch Front a few years ago, his wife told me that their family should come down to southern Utah to visit “Zions” sometime – the national park that is only 23 […]

My life as a fifth grade hellion

My life as a fifth grade hellion

My whole life I have cultivated a goody-goody image. None of my friends or family, including my parents, could ever imagine me doing anything wrong. I was the kid in the neighborhood parents wanted their children to grow up to […]

Bryce Canyon: A beautiful misnomer

Bryce Canyon: A beautiful misnomer

Bryce Canyon is a gorgeous spectacle of crimson spires, but it is misnamed. It’s a natural amphitheater, not a canyon. It’s namesake, Ebenezer Bryce, was more worried about “misplacing” his livestock there than the area’s natural beauty!

Ode to Red Rock: The joy of crimson-colored destinations

Ode to Red Rock: The joy of crimson-colored destinations

Putting on a helmet and harness and hooking myself up to a rope to scale or rappel a sheer face is completely out of my comfort zone. I’ve learned that several times over in my life. However, there is one […]

Turn everyday experiences into learning opportunities

Turn everyday experiences into learning opportunities

In our culture, teachers are firmly tasked as the primary educators of our children. However, as a teacher myself, I strongly believe that it is parents who should have the greatest role in their children’s education. By that token, my […]

The Alliteration of Zion: Poetry Inspired by Nature

The Alliteration of Zion: Poetry Inspired by Nature

A week ago I went to “school” in one of my favorite places on earth, Zion National Park. I attended a poetry workshop put on by the Utah State Poetry Society and Zion Canyon Field Institute, (for whom I’m doing a […]
