San Francisco Public Library System (reppin Ortega Branch in the Sunset, shakaaaas!)
Sloat Garden-A local garden center that I visited because I wanted to take care of my cyclamen that was given to me upon my welcome into the Early Childhood Education Leaders of Today and Tomorrow. I never had a green thumb before, but ever since this plant entered my home, it helps to remind me of my connection to the ECE field. Relationships/emotion really help with the learning!

I find it loads of fun to learn/do something new everyday, especially if it challenges my proprioceptive sensory modality.
But then it gets challenging keeping track of all the new things i've done/am doing/will do.

affirmative pearl diving
Dearest Soloterre,
Here's that list i forwarded to you from all my relations:
You can start your story anywhere.
English is my 3rd language. Like every other person, my 1st language is body/movement and my 2nd language is tactile.
Get creative, there are infinite opportunities beyond the typical realms.
Balance is the first gate before one's path with heart.
Play is work-MOVE.
Visualize-Focus!
Organization is a stepping stone to leadership. Get it?
Everyone loses when people only know what they can't do but everyone wins when they know what they can do.
Your self is your greatest and most likely your only teacher. The ones that have claimed to have taught you have only exposed you to experiences and facilitated your environment. You give your learning meaning which adds to the continual support for past, present and future learning/meaning.
Identify needs and push appropriately.
Follow interests and when one is not as interested in an idea as much as before, one is ready to move on to another degree.
Finishing/death is part of the cycle, too many beginnings leaves too many cords entangled with heavy tension-embrace it, even tension creates a sustainable and infinte braid of cords, there's the idea of putting things back in their place.
Flirting between silliness and seriousness is "your thing"-sell it!
It is okay to experiment, it is okay to not be "perfect," it important to keep trying and to ignore previous stressful social ideas of judgement. It is okay to care that "people" think you are being yourself.
What does it mean for one who edits their words? And what does it mean for the ideas behind the words?
You can start your story anywhere.
Sell it!
Take note...
Smiling is Thoughtful,
Solitaire
P.S.
If all else fails:
10 Hail Mary's, 5 Our Father's
