I really, really like my Professor from my Aging & Sociology course. Today we found out she’s Greek and very funny. She’s one of those instructors where you don’t even glance at the clock to see how much time is left. She reminds me of the kind of person you’d love to have as an… Continue reading She’s Greek & Funny…Plus Other Random Thoughts for Today – CSULB

My husband just finished reading Atul Gawande’s book “Better”, which is all about the hospital world, and yesterday he shared a paragraph with me that instantly made me smile and reminded me to continue to believe in my writing, myself, and in my blog. It was just what I needed to read after going through some self doubt and… Continue reading “Write Something” A little inspiration for the writer in all of us
