Rehearse until it is real

Posted on February 27, 2022February 27, 2022 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Rehearse until it is real
Rehearse until it is real

I have been practicing Conscious Discipline (By Dr. Becky Bailey) for many years. As a classroom management strategy, when students come into the class, I notice all appropriate behavior and voice that out loud. If disruption happens, I do not point that out but instead voice out loud the specific on-task behaviors I see and…

Zelda, my Mirror

Posted on December 30, 2021December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Zelda, my Mirror
Zelda, my Mirror

(This was written in the summer of 2020) Self doubt is a perilous thing.  It seeps in, without us even being aware, causing confusion and mayhem.  Being in a contained room with my recently spayed Zelda is teaching me a lot about myself.  It’s the ole mirror mirror story I often tell. A little backstory. …

New Year 2022

Posted on December 22, 2021December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on New Year 2022

In a time filled with division, fear and illness, let’s focus our New Year on what we wish to see in the world as opposed to focusing on what we don’t want. It is easy to get into a head space listing ones grievances, what is wrong with the world and in our lives. It…

Teens and Young Adults still need our Guidance

Posted on November 22, 2021December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Teens and Young Adults still need our Guidance
Teens and Young Adults still need our Guidance

For some reason, whether I’ve read it somewhere or watched it on a show, I’ve noticed a trend. The parent says something to the effect of now that they are 18, their child is an adult and free to make their own decisions. While it is true that this is the time in their lives…

Our body responds to the messages we give it

Posted on July 10, 2021December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Our body responds to the messages we give it
Our body responds to the messages we give it

I was lying on the sofa, feeling yucky, depressed, anxious. In an hour I was to drive to the airport. My mom was paying for a luxurious vacation at Canyon Ranch in Massachusetts, a place of healing. I never knew when it would hit. Stomach ailments, pain, general malaise. I had gone to one doctor…

What you focus on, you see more of

Posted on January 25, 2021December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on What you focus on, you see more of
What you focus on, you see more of

I was recently reminded of this very simple truth. People in my neighborhood were sharing on social media how upset they were that people didn’t clean up after their pet.  I thought to myself: What are they talking about? I never see what they are seeing. I mean there was a whole thread talking about…

What brings you joy?

Posted on December 28, 2020December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on What brings you joy?
What brings you joy?

I ask because I am sometimes at a loss as to what brings me joy. I mean when we are kids, we grab our matchbox cars and take them outside, happily making “roads” with the grass. We get with a group of kids and play Kick the Can or Kickball until the dinner bell rings….

Us against Them mentality at its Peak

Posted on November 19, 2020December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Us against Them mentality at its Peak
Us against Them mentality at its Peak

Wherever I look, I see memes, articles or quotes telling us not to let THEM get to us. Most of the time, it is disguised as a motivational message. But in many instances, there is a sense that you need to rise above THEM, whatever THEM is being referenced. Don’t let THEM get to you….

I can’t breathe

Posted on October 22, 2020December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe

I can’t breathe. . . Breathe they say. So I try. Sometimes another tack is needed. Today I got down on my hands and knees and played with my dog, puppy style, in the back yard. It’s a joyful experience for us both. I usually find myself laughing as the kid in me comes out…

Rise Up!

Posted on September 24, 2020December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Rise Up!
Rise Up!

I’ve decided to stop starting my day with a news commentary and instead turn on my dance playlist, while I jog. As I continued to feel anger, discontent, anxiety, again I had to get back to basics. Listening to my playlist, instead of the news, was my first step. These are other thoughts I had….
