During my 20 years in the elementary classroom I specialized in teaching reading and writing. For the last 10 years of my career I was in teacher education, presenting inservice workshops to teachers, and providing model demonstrations in classrooms. I served as the director of the Southern Nevada Writing Project (SNWP) for over 10 years. The SNWP is one of 200 sites of the National Writing Project, a grass roots organization of teachers teaching other teachers about the best and most effective ways to improve the teaching of writing.
I recently retired and I'm now focusing on my own writing career. I have just completed my first book for children entitled "Imagine That...A Picture Book of Possibilities". It was a delightful opportunity to collaborate with my son Bentley who did the beautiful artwork.
The book is designed to help children understand their magnificence and realize that they can be, do or have whatever they choose. If they believe it they can find a way to achieve it.
If
you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can
dream it, you can become it.
William Arthur Ward
Happy
are those who dream dreams
and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.
Leon J. Suenes
The
imagination exercises a powerful influence over every
act of sense, thought, reason, over every idea.
Latin Proverb
Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions.
Albert Einstein
