Inspired by my two older kids--and my writer friends, I'm now embarking on a new way to comment on my life.
I've just spent a few hours hanging out with my husband and 15-year-old on our two blue couches. We watched a telling documentary on a first-time Black-American sixth grade teacher in a 99 percent Black-American Atlanta middle school. It took her a full semester to figure out she had to know her students outside the classroom to understand why they weren't performing to their potential. Take-away: there's always a back story worth pursuing and understanding.
Today is Father's Day. Mary and I are making a peach pie for Jim. I will attempt to make a crust CLOSE to the pie crust QUEEN, Inis Mitchum Gillihan. Of course, I will come no where close. But at least I will attempt...and enjoy the "tasting" research of how to make a better crust the next time!
About Me
- Teresa V. Mitchum
- As I was getting out of the car to attend my first dance at Taft Junior High in Crown Point, Indiana, my mom gave me a four-word sermon: "Remember who you are." At the time, I thought that was a stupid thing to say. But obviously, I still remember those words--and now think they are rather profound. So who am I? A wife who has traveled around the world with a very intelligent man with supreme integrity. The mom of three kids--all different...but all capable of making amazing changes in the world. A writer who wants to inspire kids (young and old) to have passion for life and live to their holy potential. And now, a blogger writing on the side.
