Thing 9

Having some trouble with Bloglines. I have registered - more than 2 hours ago - but for some reason the email confirmation has not come through despite various attempts - rebooting, having confirmation resent, et cetera. Not sure what is up with that. Must come back later and see. In the meantime, I was reading The Cool Cat Teacher site and what she had to say about developing your Circle of the Wise. I have starting doing this with books but had not considered utilizing the internet. This is eye-opening. Having your circle at your fingertips - literally. I need to work this up and I know it will take some time. One of my favorites is Feel the Fear and do it anyway, by Susan Jeffers. Another is Mel Levine - A Mind at a Time. While I am not a teacher in the certification sense, as a nurse you learn that teaching is 90% of what you do in many cases. Mel Levine's perspective, research and knowledge on what makes us individuals and how we can all tap on our strengths is refreshing.
