I do believe in my ” shelf” and love of reading… ever since I was a little girl …many of my best friends were fictional. Nancy Drewand Trixie Belden for example!
And speaking of shelves… Mandy and I are going to have to get creative and find a way to put up one… the first two books completed are:
Loved it! 🧡
Yesterday ( before and after the game I finished a paperback book … soothed me back to my contented ” magical” soothing state!
WHEW! HALLELUJAH!!!I love easy-reads when they are about books and with Jenny Colgan… she loves bookstore ” magic” too! Thanks Kaitlyn!!! Finished yesterday! Needed it after that game! 😂🧡
So until tomorrow … if you want to bring Magic into the New Year … pick up a book that catches your attention and let the magic flow into 2024.
I trust God in my new beginnings to keep showing me HIS MAGIC!
I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents
were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my
grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old
Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended
Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters
Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am
presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also
taught at the College of Charleston.
For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy
matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of
stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message
through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret
of success in teaching social studies is always in the story.
I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest
teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re
ripe you rot.”
I feel the same way about books! I read Nancy Drew when I was a kid. Maybe that’s why I still love crime dramas, and mysterious stories today!
