Learning to let go was one of the hardest parts of being sick, at least for me, which is why I made two different versions to represent it.
This vintage Crescent model stove is on my kitchen counter next to my real stove. My New Year's Goal is to learn how to cook. Ella is frying an egg from my 8 inch Madeline collection.
A quick Saturday afternoon painting - I'm trying to loosen up and learn to think in terms of painting instead of drawing+colouring.
Acrylic on an offcut of matt board. The model is me, as usual, leaning sideways to look in a small mirror.

I've been living in Japan for almost six years, and believe me it ain't easy.
Culturally speaking I'm already use to ( even though there are things I will never understand, I accept them, you know "When In Rome (Do As The Romans Do)") people are extremely kind and patient with me, and all the foreigners around.
But there is something that I still don't manage they way I would like to, "The writing Language".
Japanese language is beautiful to hear and speak, like a nice summer breeze to your ears, but, when it comes to the writing and reading part it turns into a living hell.
Hiragana, katakana and Kanji. Why, seriously why do they need 3 different writing systems 2 phonetics and one with ideograms, is like if they where trying to keep everything as a code that nobody should be able know out of the country.
As a foreigner you have to ways, kill yourself learning or just ignore it and be a happy illiterate, people wouldn't really mind because as foreigners they don't expect to much from us. But My situation is different my kids will go to school in here and obviously learn the language. How would you feel is your kids ask you to read something for them and you can't? or even worse, how would you feel if you have to ask your kids to read something for you, because you are unable to do it?
My school years are way behind, but seems like I will have to keep learning until the day I die.
An innovative new digital learning tool for classroom environments that promotes hands-on, active learning and engages students like never before.
Designed to support k-12 learning environments, i3LIGHTHOUSE helps teachers bring lessons to life while encouraging students to play, collaborate, share and engage.
i3LIGHTHOUSE not only supports the I.Q. side of learning but the E.Q side as well. Developing strong social and communication skills at an early age prepares students for a more successful learning path.
Developing a basic familiarity with technology and digital media at a younger age is strongly encouraged by early childhood theorists and leaders of thought.

i totally missed the airborne shot. i think my jaw was somewhere on the ground and my stomach was somewhere in my throat and all my parental fear mechanisms were firing. like: "em!!! WTH are you doing????
i think, no not "i think," that's weak... how about "i know." my job as their parent is to give them wings. not spindly little uncertain wings, that invite them to settle. certainly not the fantasy wings of icarus. my job is to help them craft real wings; strong and powerful wings. wings that will take them anywhere. . .
i have more from this triumph to post and much more to say about this subject. . .but hey it's only flickr, so i'll shut up. . .
groove yer week. . .

The GEF Biennial International Waters Conference (IWC) is the signature learning event for the GEF IW portfolio. The IWC objectives are to facilitate cross-sectoral and portfolio-wide learning and experience sharing. Participants sum up progress achieved and also look to the future of programming within and beyond the GEF IW focal area.
The IWC convenes about 300 participants, comprising GEF IW project managers, representatives of beneficiary countries, non-governmental organizations, transboundary management institutions, UN Agencies and the private sector.
The IWRM AIO SIDS project invited the focal points and demonstration project managers from Comoros, Seychelles, Mauritius, Maldives, Cabo Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe to take part to the Conference.

Preservice teachers at Washington State University Vancouver are able to get top-notch in-class instruction. We recently visited two different classes taught by Dr. Shameem Rakha, one Classroom Management (TL 310), the other Diversity in Schools and Society (TL 330). It was quite evident that WSU Vancouver, as well as our faculty, are adding to our students' desire to teach by helping them build capacity to be agents of change.
