A Year in Pictures

I've decided that I need to be a little more proactive at reflecting on the good fortune in my life. I have so much to be thankful for and so many talents that I need to nurture. I love taking pictures so what better way to get a look at the great things going on around me than to document them in photos. I think it is important for me to journal about the photos too, more of a way for me to reflect and remember rather than boast or bore you!
I hope this works!

Reading for the Love of It!
Breakfast with Melanie Watt and lunch with Jian Ghomeshi!  Two very different stories and a great way to spend a Friday!
Surprisingly, Melanie is very shy and reserved but shared her life story and how she became so successful with writing children's books. 
 (Scaredy Squirrel and Chester are her main characters-- for all the non-teachers)
Jian made me really regret not bringing technology with me today.  He spoke about embracing multi platform media and pop culture and announced to a very surprised audience that Mubarak stepped down and the people of Egypt were celebrating in the streets. 
Lots of food for thought and a very enjoyable day with my fellow teacher-librarian and dear friend Cindy!
