Today: Venustas. Oh, the feels. This scent is gauzy and haunting, feminine, contemplative, and utterly lovely. #LoveMyBPALhttp://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/shop/lilith-2014-princesses-ghosts-superheroes/venustas/

Sharing this for Kelley Argie Hobbs, who succeeded in getting today declared Peroxisomal Biogenesis Disorders Awareness Day in NH in honor of her son, Dillon, who would have been one year old today.Friends, please consider making a donation to The Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders at http://www.thegfpd.org to support the fight against PBD. PBD are 100% fatal and screening is not universal. My family's thoughts and prayers are with your family today, Kelley.

"In fact, I discovered that cursive writing was an excellent kinesthetic exercise which grounded my students’ energies, many of which had severe behavioral problems."There is much to be said for a well-rounded, 'old fashioned' education that includes music, art, time outdoors, and yes...cursive writing.

I think it's time to come up with different questions when we are trying to get to know someone, or even just making small talk at a dinner party.Let's talk about books, movies, food, cultural events, world news, the best museums we've ever been to, where we grew up...there are so many things that make up a person besides their job/marital status/whether or not they are a parent.

Alicia Larsen Dabney reminded me that teacher appreciation days may be approaching for many of us. I bought these last year and they were very much appreciated! Just thought I'd share in case you're looking for something different to give to the teachers in your lives.http://www.leakeycollection.com/beads-for-learning/68/beads-for-learning/100671
