The Story Begins

Thanks for joining me!

This blog has very high chances of becoming pretty eclectic but I think it is ok. Our life is often eclectic and patchy like a quilted blanket. We are made up of countless ingredients, big and small. So many things tell our story! From what we like for breakfast on a Saturday morning to a life-long mission we put before ourselves.

And it all matters. Things we do today, define our tomorrow. Present stories become future history.

I work as a teacher but it didn’t take me long to realize that teaching is not a job, it is a lifestyle. It is something that never fully leaves your mind. 24/7 you think about how you can improve your teaching skills to make lessons more interesting and engaging, how to meet the needs of every student in your class, and how to help kids grow both academically and in their understanding of the world. School ends, you know, but learning should continue.

When I’m not teaching I enjoy knitting. So, this is a patch on my blanket and another aspect of the story. My skills are pretty average at the moment but I’m learning and I have specific goals I want to reach.

And then there are miscellaneous things in life that I enjoy and just want to share. What if you’ll like them too?

So, again, thanks for joining me! Let’s craft something interesting!

P.S.: What do you like in your free time? Knitting, reading, dancing, traveling? Tell me about it!

‘The Lion’ all began with a picture of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been in my mind since I was about sixteen. Then one day, when I was about forty, I said to myself, ‘Let’s try to make a story about it.’ — C.S. Lewis
