Week 8 Progress

Looking Back: I have not been doing a good job keeping up with all of the posts I need to be doing, and I need to reassess my schedule so that I can be sure to get everything out of this class that it has to offer.

Looking Forward: I want to have more fun with this class - it's unlike any class I've even taken and I would like to put it in a different spot in my schedule so that I can run with it.

Other than literally helping your mind to feel less scared and promote confidence hormones, etc., it just reminded me that you can move forward, always, for the things you care about and want to accomplish.

I've also been to Frankfurt, Heidelberg, and surrounding towns in Germany. I love both places.     My most recent international travel took me to Monterrey, Mexico, with my fiancé and his mother. He was born there, and still has a large part of his family living there. It was lovely to meet them, and they were kind enough to take me all over the city, visiting museums and parks, and eating lots of amazing foo...

Week 2 Story: Mrs. Crocodile Needs to Vent

Mr. and Mrs. Crocodile Please Note: The current version of this story is on my portfolio site.  Mrs. Crocodile is sitting in her weekly women's group meeting, eating some of the river eel and algae rolls her best friend, Mrs. Piranha, always set out. They had so much to catch up on... Mrs. Crocodile was getting bigger every day with the little babies growing, and her husband had been up to more of his usual antics. She loved Mr. Crocodile, but sometimes she wondered how he managed before she came along. "Hello, honey," said Mrs. Piranha. "How are you today? Those little guys giving you a hard time?" "No, not bad. I'm just enjoying getting to eat all these delicious rolls... you know they're my favorite. All of these cravings have been so strange. Just the other day I had the most intense one for monkey's heart." "Monkey's heart?! Those pests are impossible to catch, but oh so delicious if you can manage to snag a bite....
