Understanding the “Man Box”
Posted by KWiz on December 15th, 2010
TED.com is a website that I became acquainted with through one of my teaching colleagues. According to the website: “TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. You can find talks about various topics, from education [...]
You Will Never Be…Pretty
Posted by KWiz on October 27th, 2010
Poetry slammer Katie Makkai gives voice to how we – as parents, as teachers, as those concerned with the tender hearts of our young people – should respond to the insecurities our girls carry as a result of listening to and watching what the media deems to suggest what’s right for them. It is absolutely [...]
He Did It Again!
Posted by KWiz on May 14th, 2010
My husband is a phenomenal man! He doesn’t settle for second best. He seeks to do everything with excellence. So when he told me he was updating his first book, Steppin’ Out of the Darkness, my first question is, “Why?” He replied, “I can do better.” So after many months of rewrites and revisions, my [...]
The Pride of Our People, the Pride of All People
Posted by KWiz on March 18th, 2009
I usually don’t get too emotional about YouTube videos. Yet, one of my students sent me a link yesterday to a video that he said, “gave me the chills.” For this particular student to preface his email this way piqued my curiosity, so I clicked on it and watched. And most certainly, it was very [...]
For Seasons Such As This
Posted by KWiz on June 6th, 2008
My husband, Manchild, began writing Steppin’ Out Of The Darkness over ten years ago when he himself was experiencing what he refers to as “a series of sunny-side-down days.” He wrote this inspirational story about personal leadership for seasons such as this. I was watching a news program this past week that told the story [...]
New Look, Looking Forward
Posted by KWiz on June 2nd, 2008
I remember when I first started blogging back in November 2006. It was fun. It was exciting. It was draining. It allowed me to uncover a writing voice I didn’t know existed. I have been grateful for the opportunities it has given me to get to know a few people out in the blogosphere that [...]
Giving Ourselves Enough Credit
Posted by KWiz on January 12th, 2008
We live in a fast-paced society. We want things quickly. We want them now. We want to arrive at our destinations quickly. We want to lose weight quickly. I personally want those 15 pounds off RIGHT NOW! Change can’t happen soon enough. We want to be more loving – now! We want to be more [...]
It’s Here!!!
Posted by KWiz on December 17th, 2007
Well, it’s finally happening… I met my husband, Manchild, almost 8 years ago. From the time I met him, I have seen him labor over a literary project that he started over 10 years ago. It’s been a painstaking process for him. Who would’ve known that it would take the enormous buckets of sweat and [...]
Open Wide – Say “Ah-h-h-h”…
Posted by KWiz on September 6th, 2007
Summer is my favorite time of the year. Being from the upper Midwest and hating the cold, I look forward to the hot weather we enjoy in the South. And while the heat remains (though not as intense), Labor Day has come and gone – which is usually the point when it’s time to think [...]
