End of 2013

How did the year, 2013, get away from me? I tried to savor the small moments, but my work kept me very busy. As a family we celebrated anniversaries, birthdays and accomplishments. We traveled some beginning the new year in New Orleans, headed to Ohio twice and back south to the Florida gulf in October.

2013 was my first attempt at teaching an online class. I learned so much about focusing on clear communication. I have a tendency to veer away from the original plan but this course forced me to remain steadfast and persevere. I'm currently making changes for the next online class. I spent lots of work time traveling to Jefferson City to work with a curriculum revision team.

For 2014, I hope to participate in artistic endeavors so much more.  I'm working on setting up a studio so I can draw, sew, paint, and write.

Now I must prepare the black-eyed peas so we will have good health & wealth in the coming year.

Happy New Year to you and yours in 2014!

Cemetery # 1 in NOLA

Here is a pic from last January when I visited Cemetery # 1 in NOLA, the professed burial site for Marie Laveau.
