It's be...Hi Anita!<br />Are you on spring break too?<br />It's been kind of cloudy and cool...but hey... no snow LOL<br /><br />I've just started a new book, "Calm My Anxious Heart." It was recommended by a friend at work who is using it to lead a women's Bible study at her church. I hope to get into it more now that I have some quiet mornings. {The week is going by so fast though!}<br />Next week, we begin testing. The New York State Assessments- Round One is English. <br /><br />I hope your Easter was sweet and JOY filled.<br />God bless you always,<br />MariaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196112590905903539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867713086151020546.post-3754524335555371022012-04-11T10:29:14.882-07:002012-04-11T10:29:14.882-07:00I could watch that panda all day long.I could watch that panda all day long.Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867713086151020546.post-19354969800081087922012-04-09T09:45:36.469-07:002012-04-09T09:45:36.469-07:00Dear Anita, what a powerful post that speaks volum...Dear Anita, what a powerful post that speaks volumes to me, especially since we are in similar situations: you are embarking on a new journey professionally, while I am entering the same unknown from a personal point of view. I really do believe that when you want something with your entire heart, the universe will find ways to give it to you. That is why Einstein used to say that the most important decision we ever need to make in our lives is whether we believe in a friendly or in an unfriendly universe.....It is a choice and the only way you can beat fear, it is through ACTION. And you are certainly doing that. Way to go. It is inspiring and empowering what you have done and let's step into the enriching unknown hand in hand, where dreams never end....<br />Hugs,<br />BiancaBianca Geliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268420215894364960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867713086151020546.post-27431997797058929962012-04-05T23:57:35.044-07:002012-04-05T23:57:35.044-07:00Lorsque la tête est en harmonie avec le coeur, la ...Lorsque la tête est en harmonie avec le coeur, la Vie prend de belles couleurs !<br />Je te souhaite beaucoup de succès et de joies dans la voie que tu as choisie ...<br />Je t'embrasse affectueusement. <br />Très belles fêtes de Pâques.<br />Marie-AngeSimplement ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09590914836737696602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867713086151020546.post-29229971826843087092012-04-05T23:57:34.761-07:002012-04-05T23:57:34.761-07:00Lorsque la tête est en harmonie avec le coeur, la ...Lorsque la tête est en harmonie avec le coeur, la Vie prend de belles couleurs !<br />Je te souhaite beaucoup de succès et de joies dans la voie que tu as choisie ...<br />Je t'embrasse affectueusement. <br />Très belles fêtes de Pâques.<br />Marie-AngeSimplement ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09590914836737696602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867713086151020546.post-35708023882801055272012-04-05T15:09:22.147-07:002012-04-05T15:09:22.147-07:00Anita! i swear you wrote this post for me!

I want you to realize, YOU are a teacher, and yes, perhaps not for todays system..I can only imagine all the emotions you must be going through right now, but know in your heart, you have been guided by him, to follow your heart time and time again, with your love of teaching, your love of Ruben, your love of art, writing, and life.

You possess much strength and also compassion to be making this enormous leap into a new future.<br />Your students will no doubt be rather bereft for the teacher who is moving onto pastures new, but look at the mark you will have left on their lives. The inspiration that they too can follow their dreams.<br />We only get one shot at life and it's crucial to do what you want. I love your artwork, you are highly talented. <br />As other commenters have said, you are still a teacher in your heart, but the artist side of you is shining brighter. So I am thrilled for you and wish you all the luck in the world (you won't need it though)<br /> x x x xxGemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131918878618386683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867713086151020546.post-62823106528411787222012-04-03T21:01:01.789-07:002012-04-03T21:01:01.789-07:00Dear Anita,

It makes me feel so special!<br /><br />I do understand, although not as much as you do, about the strain that school systems put on teachers and students. That something is broken is indisputable especially in the wake of losing truly wonderful teachers. I completely don't blame you for being through because, quite frankly, I'm about through with it all myself from the standpoint of a parent of an elementary school child. I'm praying for the courage and strength to do what I must from my end as well.<br /><br />I saw that you pinned my house to your board "Favorite Places & Spaces". How honored I feel that you like it enough to include in your lovely Pinterest collection!!<br /><br />KeriIvy Cladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307765640404949525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867713086151020546.post-47961602772635604492012-04-03T11:24:27.474-07:002012-04-03T11:24:27.474-07:00Anita,
