How is it September? This morning’s quote for inspiration is from Chadwick Boseman. Sometimes the ritual of slicing on Tuesday is pressure, but it also inspires me to live and cherish moments differently.
“You have to cherish things in a different way when you know the clock is ticking, you are under pressure.”
-Chadwick Boseman
Write your slice. Share it. Give some comments. And take time to cherish what matters and is important to you here and now.
TWO WRITING TEACHERS 
Since this is my life situation right now, remodeling an ugly home with my three oldest boys and a few other random people, I’m going to share the struggles and successes.

We are going to build school back better. I’m hopeful. Here is a short Golden Shovel poem as it has been a busy day and week.

P.S. The quote from Chadwick Boseman is heartbreaking and true. What a fighter and giver he was until the end.

We have been in lockdown in form stage or another since March where I live. We’ve been in stage 4 lockdown for about 7 weeks…meaning we are only allowed out for an hour of exercise per day. It’s been incredibly tough. Makes me appreciate the simple pleasures I used to take for granted, like a haircut.
