For many of us yesterday we experienced this wonderful phenomenon!
Dear Reader:
When Anne and I traveled to Ireland ten years ago, I totally fell in love with Ireland and all the lush green vales and valleys …and realized again why I loved John O’ Donohue’s touching heart to heart poetry!
IRELAND! Poetry that allows our hearts ❤️ to open and pour the life/altering message in!!!
Personally I love this path…we followed… since a child I am drawn to woodsy paths to find the unknown … at the end of God’s Path!
Flowers and a visual-bay of waters across the street…the Bay of Galway flowers and azure waters!!!John O’ Donohue!/ resting placeOn the way to the Burren-we passed Donohues’s cemetery/ final resting place ( cardiac arrest) and he died too soon-52- he passed six years years before we adventured to Ireland-such a loss to humanity.The Burren teaches us a very important lesson-No matter the challenges we face to prosper and survive… not only is it do-able but magnificent!Wildflowers 1 – Rocks-OWe loved this castle leaving for our new adventures each day and coming back each evening … our landmark compass-a sense of security! So welcome to see each evening!
There must be a Celtic word that describes the sacredness of the daily images we saw and embedded in my heart. If you find one …please share with me! 💗💗❤️
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.”
