Self-Portrait

Today I drew this picture of myself. I have a big head, skinny legs, a jet pack...and huge dreams.

New Year, New Teacher

Today, I purchased Lynda Barry's Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor

on Thriftbooks.com

She writes about neuroscience, cartoons and poetry. And she shows how to be original with

the details of your life.

This morning, I listened to her Presentation at Goucher College. Watch for two minutes as she reads from her illustrated musing on poetry.

"Poems can make you see the world as if

it could be read like poetry.

That is to say, there is a meaning way of looking,

a seeing way that is new~

and something looking back

now alive with you in view

that wants to swallow you."

Why do images exist? "I believe they are the soul's immune system and transit system."

Hey Anxiety

I love this author, Karen Young. She believes in solid information placed in the solid hands of children and their parents. I plan to use this in my next session. Only wish there were a fully animated video version of the book, Karen!
