Hi Glenda, can’t wait to clear some feature interview time to promote you on our blog…nice post/photos here, very visual medium. Reminds me of my daughter’s study of long houses and totem tribal traditions a few years back. As happenstance would have it, I ended up taking her to Stanley Park in Vancouver for a 3 day jaunt and she learned more there experientially than she did in 8 weeks of coverage on the ‘curriculum unit’ in school…sigh. We even got to meet a wood carver and such. 3 days vs. 8 weeks…hmn. Diff. learning styles for sure. Amazing to see how fast kids can engage given the right tools and/or energy level.

As for ‘where I’m from’ fascinating question…I call myself a ‘global citizen’ as I’ve pinged around hither & yon my whole life, but call Hawaii home in spirit.

Wish I were there around the cracklin’ fire to swap some stories…speaking of which, did you see my post on Shaping Youth about Beth Kanter’s fundraising effort for the Cambodian college students? In 24 hours=she raised $1K on Twitter! Awesome! Time for you to ‘tweet’ Glenda!!! You go girl! Inspiring use of media…keep in touch with us all…

Hi Glenda,

Sorry I got caught up with other projects and didn’t check my messages until now, so I missed this opportunity.

Looking forward to the next one

Found this thought-provoking quote:

History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and of our common humanity, so that we can better face the future.

Avril, just list everything out and cross them off – you’ll be fine. My favorite saying:

The best time to plant a tree — 30 years ago.
The second-best time — now.

Just keep plugging away and you’ll make slow and steady progress! Hugs to you!

This has definitely been an interesting conversation, using modern technology to talk about our history. Thank you, everyone!

Have a good evening, Avril. Take it one task at a time, and keep in mind that the world will continue revolving if you don’t finish everything tonight!
