Word Of The Year. Shop Sue’s Books. Chocolate on Mondays: Hospitality Takes Practice (But Don’t Practice Too Much). August 9, 2015. Hospitality takes practice, but don’t practice too much. We might make someone feel badly if they never saw us mess up. So don’t practice too much. Here’s my latest mess-up: I didn’t pay attention to the timer. A timer only works if you pay attention. Hospitality takes practice. You might need a hand-up to get started. These five “P’s” could help:. You could also practice hi...

Five Minute Friday: try | hidden glory
https://heatherdavisnelson.com/2015/07/31/five-minute-friday-try
A place to find grace connection amidst shame imperfection. Five Minute Friday: try. July 31, 2015. I love Five Minute Friday. 8211; have I said that lately? I’ve accepted the fact that between revising the manuscript for my first book (releasing spring 2016 by Crossway on the topic of finding healing and freedom from shame), and being at home 24/7 with my 4-year-olds during the summer, “Five Minute Friday” posts are the extent of my summer blogging schedule. Photo from kokoamag.com. Try feels like a law.

In Transition 678: July 2016
http://intransition678.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 25, 2016. I hope you are enjoying your time off, doing things you love, and finding time to rest in between doctor's appointments and house "do" lists. A few years ago I read a book called, "In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day" by Mark Batterson. OK As thrilling as this sounds, I've never left on a vacation without planning and re-planning. She'd be leaving Monday morning, and it was Friday evening. So, initially I told me friend, "Sounds exciting, but I can't! To make a long story short,.

In Transition 678: December 2015
http://intransition678.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 24, 2015. It feels as if just yesterday it was summer vacation and I was reading how everyone was decorating their classrooms and getting ready for the new school year. In a blink, one semester is already history. Two years ago I learned about "One Word". It's a word that serves as personal encouragement or direction for the new year. In 2015 I chose the word "release". Family members were moving away, co-workers were moving. My "One Word" for 2016:. To hold onto joy. And get it back&#...

Tuesday, February 16, 2016. February's Show and Tell. These are the supplies I used. Packing tape was also used, but it's not in the picture.). I leveled the books side by side and used a clothes pin to keep them together. I then stapled the back cover of the first book and the front cover of the second book with a long stapler. Then, I cut most of the unstapled part off. I used packing tape to cover the staples and keep the openings closed. I covered the two spines with bright green tape. I love prepari...

In Transition 678: September 2015
http://intransition678.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 28, 2015. Most times people find out I'm a middle school teacher, I'm almost always given both a surprised and sympathetic look. Most people think that teaching middle school takes a very special kind of person. To tell you the truth, they're probably right. I never, ever thought I'd be a middle school teacher. I started at the elementary level. That was my comfort zone. Older kids? To my relief, reinforcements were at my side within seconds and de-escalated the situation. Fourteen ...
