The brevity and longevity of leaves! God provides both! Live Oak leaves will be a challenge in every season of each year! Look for the wide diversity of every leaf and flower and smile for each !
Some floating brown live oak leaves make us work harder for duller exhibitions but if we wait long enough one specimen will startle us and bring light into our everyday lives. …
Some one dull leaf managed to turn a bright color all on its own inclination! And once again we believe in miracles!
Keep faith, trust, and hope… and Life blossoms once again to us!
Life is too short to not to be happy!
So until tomorrow… Winnie’s favorite gifts to his gang is FLOWERS!
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.”
