Fan Girling over Amanda Gorman- Day 28 SOLSC
Excitement was bubbling through my veins like celebratory champagne waiting for Amanda Gorman to start speaking at University of Buffalo’s Distinguished Speaker event last night. The event was sold out- of course it was! There was an hum throughout the whole auditorium. This young woman is just enthralling. Everything she says is so poetic. I…

Audio Books Fail Me- Day 22 SOLSC
Okay, I have tried and tried but I guess it is time to admit audio books are NOT for me. I have tried fiction, non-fiction, recommendations from friends. I have tried engaging readers (well supposed to be) and ones that make character voices come to life. But no matter what- my brain travels away from…

For a Moment, I Was a Cat – Day 21 SOLSC
The sun filled every pane of my French doors painting the wool green and cream area rug in light. I felt pulled to bask in that glow after an exasperating day at work. Tossing a few pillows on the floor and grabbing a soft, soothing blanket I sprawled on the floor like a cat lapping…

Be Like a Cupcake- March 19 SOLSC
How to be Like a Cupcake Make your center light. Be sweet to others. Let your presence bring cheer. Let your days be lip-smacking good. May your being be brightly sprinkled with funfetti.

Yes I Deserve This Shamrock Shake- Day 16 SOLSC
Today I deserved a Shamrock Shake. I only get one during the whole month of March as a treat to myself. Well, today was that day! My day was run amuck by leprechaun chaos at my school. As an interventionist, I work with students from many classrooms during the day. Every half hour it is…

Outdoor Shavasana Gifts Me So Much- Day 13 SOLSC
After the long school day, I was able to head into my backyard and do some yoga. It was sunny and just about 60 degrees. It was a bit cool but I decided to place my mat in the path of the sunshine and bask it its rays. To me there is such a difference…

2nd Weekend Plan Foiled Too – Day 10 SOLSC
After Friday’s concert not going as expected, I woke up Saturday excited about the plan for the day. We were heading to a Pierogi Fest. It was advertised as a celebration of everyone’s favorite Polish dumplings plus Polish pastries, soups, sausages, beers and vodkas. My husband and I were talking about what time we wanted…

Concert Didn’t Go as Planned-Day 9 SOLSC
“Stay with me, My love I hope you’ll always be” singing the words along with the song BUT sitting on a couch out in the mezzanine area. Not how I expected to experience this Phil Collins/Genesis Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra concert. I started the concert in row H sitting next to my husband. The first song…

Tomorrow brings…who?- Day 7 SOLSC
Yesterday was sunny and Springy I was energetic and light. Today was gray, misty, wet I was slow, humdrum, flat. I personify each day’s weather. Tomorrow will be who? Poetic form: Nonet ( a 9 line poem – each line contains a descending syllable count from 9,8,7….1)
