words

My daughter had a wonderful tutor yesterday who made a special impression upon her to always have 
your dictionary nearby when studying.
It is important to know the meaning of your words.

I always loved this Kate Spade clutch which looks like a modern english dictionary.

Yes, you are your words, make the most of them.
It is so much easier if you can make sense of the meaning of the actual word.
If you don't know it, look it up.

 You might be afraid when you don't know a word, but never be afraid to fail.
Be afraid not to try.
I love this idea of writing words in an old book.
Words on top of words.

Words should never hurt.
Learning new words and their meanings should feel like a hug.
Make the most of them.
What is a word you had to look up recently?

Do you do crosswords, play scrabble or have any favorite word games?

freshman


 "It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn - which is what life is all about."

~Oprah Winfrey

Our sons are freshman and are away at University.  Today they are coming home for the long weekend.
I know their sister will be happy to have them shower her with love.
I will be so thrilled to have them home and hear all about their first month and new discoveries.
Looking forward to sharing our new kitchen and nourishing my family with home cooked meals and a lively house.
It is Columbus weekend here in the states.
Enjoy!
