Doc Powell, joined by Eric Lewis and Joseph Ngwa, drummed our hearts happy. They performed for the Zion Baptist Senior Center. One lady who had not stood up in ages got up on her feet to move to the beat!

The coronavirus cheated me out of a proper book signing. This was my first book event -- my coworker, Toni, had me autograph copies of JAYLA JUMPS IN for a bunch of her grandkids, nieces and nephews. It was small, but it made me feel wonderful.

This is the entrance to the women's quarters at Amber Fort. The Maharaja had 10-15 wives and 300 girlfriends. Each woman's room had a secret passageway that led to his apartment. "Times sure have changed," said a woman standing next to me. "I think not," I said. "Today's man may not want ten wives, but most men want more than one woman.' #travel #india #educational #librariansfollowlibrarians #highschoolteacher #geographytrip #yoga #learnsomething #deeplearning #teacherlibrarian https://www.instagram.com/p/BubpqAghrJp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2sv7xmufhej8

One of the things I miss from my childhood summers is playing on the swings. The sweet air wrapping its arms around me as I pumped my legs, being propelled high... What a quiet joy. #summer #teachersofinstagram #trees🌳 #outdoorplay #outdorlearning #librariansarecool
