Sunshine is our best medicine! Laurie David shared a beautiful experience with one lone leaf that miraculously appeared out of no where… doesn’t nature bring us such amazing light that brightens our lives?
Laurie wrote that the leaf , brightly shining …that caught her immediate attention was a Loquat Leaf . The Loquat leaf keeps green leaves year round .
This bright yellow one was not expected in February!
Welcome Bright Beauty!
It looks like a little sunshine calling out to spring! Enjoy unexpected views of nature in our lives!!!
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.”
