Welcome to my blog

I follow several beauty blogs, teaching blogs, art blogs, living blogs --- and each of them inspires me to make life a little bit better, to feel a little bit better, to look a little bit better --- both inside and out. So here is a stab at a blog about the beautiful teachers in my life. A little about me:

• I strongly believe in the power of education to better our world
• I teach elementary school
• I am quite imperfect
• Never underestimate the power of a good live concert
• I am a mother
• I am fascinated by all forms of beauty
• I am in my 50's 
• I live in Yolo County, CA
• I have about 70 makeup samples in my bottom drawer
• I am willing to try new things if they don't scare me too much
• I value my friendships more than gold
