Win Some

Daily writing prompt
What makes a teacher great?

What makes a teacher great?
Great question.  smile

Knowledge, of course, right?  A teacher must know whereof she/he speaks.  I mean, how can a teacher impart what she does not know. Correct? So what else do they need?  How about this?
A great teacher will invite us to learn, observe, and help us garner the information given.
I’d say what really makes teachers great is being a winsome soul with a well-trained mind.
Yes, winsome teachers, win some (or most) of their students to great learning. 

What Timing!

Daily writing prompt
How do you practice self-care?

Wow! What a question since I just listened to a woman via YouTube addressing that very concept.
Self-care.
What is it? Is there someone I should trust to educate me? Can I learn it? Will it work? 
Perhaps it’s time we find out. 

Sunday Supper

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

A roast beef sandwich with mustard. My mom frequently cooked a pot roast for Sunday dinner with potatoes, carrots, and gravy. Then for supper after evening services, we’d come home from church and Daddy and I would have leftovers. Yes, pot roast sandwiches with mustard as we watched the latest Bonanza episode on television. It’s a sweet memory. Thanks for asking.

The Whole Nine Yards

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

Funny you should ask. I did change my name back 20 years ago. I chose a new name and legally changed it, not by marriage. Employment records, insurance, driver’s license, the whole nine yards.
It felt crazy but I did it anyway. I remember a co-worker said to me, “I’ve never known anyone who just up and changed their name.” I said, “Me either.”
