#ThoughtForTheDay on #NationalWildlifeDay. National Wildlife Day reminds us all that the onus of saving the wildlife lies on us because we are the ones who are destroying it as well! ~ Protect All Wildlife.

Admin: You know the saying "Maslow before Bloom"? The teacher version of that is "PD AFTER room." It is really tough to focus on any PD, no matter how valuable, when we know there is a mountain of furniture stacked in a corner of our room. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

The final point I made in this past weekend's scbwi presentation, and one I think I make in a lot of presentations, tbh, is this: You have no idea how close you are to achieving your goal, but if you give up now, you'll never get there. Keep going.

An amazing time in Paris-beautiful sites and exciting Olympics!

We had wonderful visit to the beautiful French town of Annecy, with spectacular views of the Alps and refreshing swims in one of the purest lakes of Europe.

On to beautiful Italy
