No. I haven’t forgotten International Women’s History Month.  I know that usually you’re accustomed to seeing my interviews with amazing women throughout the month of March. I asked two women and both of them are unavailable, and where usually I do go seek other women, something big happened to me in December. In December, I lost my husband, Richard. Due to that we’re going to do this a little differently.  We are going to feature me without the questions. Not only how I’m coping, but I want to share what kind of woman I’ve always been, and who I will become through this trial. It was suggested to me that during this time I should remember all of my accomplishments. I’ll also mention one of the women I wish to interview next month if possible, and worst comes to worst, next year. I’ve always been a woman who can handle any challenge. I was always outspoken and protective of those I loved. I was always smiling. As I grew into a teen and young adult the only thing I temporarily ...

  I recently finished reading ‘Where to Go When’ by DK Eyewitness, and the immediate things that make the book fabulous are it breaks up locations by what month is the best time to visit them, they tell when else to go, and all about planning your trip. Each ‘chapter’ is month by month. The other months each location may mention may mention off-seasons, concerts, holidays, ect. In the planning your trip section they mention getting there, getting around, the weather in that month, and the average weather in Fahrenheit and Celsius. For any and all travelers that is extremely important, the Fahrenheit and Celsius because you don’t want to have to take your phone out to translate that on your own all the time.  While reading the book a few places stood out to me as research places for my work like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, and Galway, Ireland. Rio de Janeiro was in February, Kyoto was in April, Galway was in September, and Tokyo was in November. As I was alw...

Brooklyn Library’s Adult Literacy Tutoring Program  This is some of what I learned during last month in Adult Literacy Tutoring. I encourage you to learn more as well.  Sooo I’m not exactly sure what I share on here anymore with my busy schedule. Since April 2022 I’ve been volunteering with my local library to help others with Adult Literacy. It didn’t always start out with them helping guide us with lesson plans for the month. In fact, it wasn’t until January this year that they helped out their tutors in this way.  Obviously, March was Women’s History Month, and the lesson plans in the tutoring program reflected that, but unfortunately I wasn’t around in March to help my students due to a family emergency, and short staffing on one week. On the last full week of March, the tutoring program started their spring break that lasts two weeks.  I did look up all that I could out of the lesson plans that were to be planned for the students as I’m a huge fan of Women’s His...
