Matters of Heart 5.15.2011

Inspired by my sister's blog, the many other women who have shared by creating blogs, and my own love for sharing and writing, I jump into this venue with excitement and trepidation. I have been thinking of writing for weeks and sharing the matters of my heart--those things that matter to me. I will be writing about:

• Education Matters


• Faith Matters


• Music Matters


• Reading Matters


• Parenting Matters


• Teaching Matters


• Family Matters


• Marriage Matters


• Service Matters


• Taste Matters


• Health Matters


• Mondays Matter


• Miscellaneous Matters

I am a devoted mother of seven children and grandmother of almost 20. My husband and I are both educators. Jim teaches history and government at a public high school, and after teaching for 20 years, I am an elementary-school principal. After raising six boys and one daughter and spending most of my life in education (learning and teaching), I have a few things to say! I am a woman of faith, a life-long Mormon. Over the years I have learned from my many friends and family members. I love to create, decorate, read, sew, write, and learn. I love movies and television. I belong to two book clubs. And now--I am a blogger!
