My Best Of…

Public workers’ rights are under attack in Wisconsin. Mrs. Ripp -one of my favorite teacher bloggers – lives in Wisconsin.

Here’s an excerpt from her post “I Am a Teacher” –

Teachers are not made in college, they become them in the classroom.  Teachers reach out to anyone that enters their worlds, and they impact every single aspect of this American life.  Support them, cherish them, and right now, fight for them and their rights. We are here to help America succeed and grow, not to take the blame.

What can we do?

‘We Are One’ – Candlelight Vigil In Solidarity with Wisconsin Workers – Tuesday, February 22nd -West Steps of the State Capitol in Sacramento, CA – 5:30-7:30pm.

Do you find yourself sitting at your desk jaws clenched, wondering where your concentration has gone? Or is it just me?

Sarah from Pink of Perfection invites readers to share ideas on How To Find Calm In the Work Day. Do you have anything to add?

Doing one thing at a time is one of Sarah’s calming tips and one I struggle to follow – especially online.

Recently, I’ve been spending much less time on social media (Facebook and Twitter) – I’ve been on a sort of accidental Social Media Diet as Tammy from Rowdy Kittens calls it. Check out her video for tips on how to ease yourself away from the online.

Yoga Retreat Surprise! Breaking Up with the Internets

Posted on by

Oh, I forgot to tell you the best part of the retreat!

In addition to all the yoga, breathing, meditating and pool-sitting –

we are breaking up with the Internets!

Does that strike fear in your heart like mine? ***

No blogs

No Twitter {what if there is breaking Rhett Miller news?!?!}

No Facebook

No email

No news or even weather.

To ensure I don’t cheat, I’m not even bringing my computer and I do not possess one of those new fangled phones.

I know I need a break and that I’ll feel refreshed and new when I return, but… I’m scared.

If you haven’t figured this out already, I spend a lot of time online.

I know I can do this.

I’ve done it before.

Are you still in?

Have you ever broken up with the Internets? What was your experience?

Let me a comment to tell me I’m not alone in my online “problem” – please.

***{Don’t worry, it’s just for the weekend and then we are totally getting back together!}
