Stuck for ideas? Try this strategy:
Look at your body — your arms, your legs, your face. Do you have any scars? Chances are, there is a story for each one of those scars.
Now think about the scars people can’t see. The ones on the inside. Those are stories too.
Post a permalink to your story. Then comment on at least three others.

Begin with the end in mind. Yes, that’s true;however, now is the time to end with the beginning in mind. Today I was reflecting on a recent article from Edutopia and was inspired to find ways to help me get feedback as I end the year: https://meanderingmaya.wordpress.com/2015/06/02/ending-with-the-beginning-in-mind/

Ending the school year is stressful. So much to do. Then add on planning for a vacation right after school ends. So much more to do. But thanks to Dana and her “living slow” slice, I tasted it tonight:

Posted a poem I found — about feelings, endings…many of us are in the ending phase of the school year — some happy, some scarred. Some of us a little bit of both.

A quick post on reflecting with my students… http://1gratefulteacher.blogspot.com/2015/06/reflecting.html
Hi everyone
Its been some time since I wrote a slice of life.
But this morning, I wrote about a bridge, and yes, I had trouble avoiding the metaphorical shift. Plus, any post about a bridge requires some reference to Led Zep, thus the title of the post.
