My Chosen Godmother
I call her my godmother but she didn’t hold me as a baby while a priest blessed me. There’s just no better term that I’m familiar with to explain who she is to me. So, almost 10 years ago, I asked Kathy to be my godmother (with all due respect to the one my parents… Continue reading My Chosen Godmother
She’s In There
For years, I’ve heard great things about psychic medium Paul Saladino. Yesterday, I had the honor of attending his Inner Child workshop. So. Darn. Good. Paul started the workshop asking us to rate our childhood happiness and to assign it a color. He talked us through the different numbers and colors, “translating” numerology to inner… Continue reading She’s In There
Mr. Denise
Get ready for one of the most ridiculous anecdotes I’ve ever shared with you. You know how there’s always one kid who accidentally calls the teacher “mom” and then gets teased about it for at least the rest of the school year? In 14 years of teaching, I’ve never been called mom. But about 6… Continue reading Mr. Denise
Power & Respect

That one fight usually… Continue reading Power & Respect
Same Old Story
For the longest time, I wouldn’t tell people I was a teacher. There were just some things about the job (or at least how I was doing the job) that didn’t align with whom I feel I am.

Before having two rabbits of my own, I did not consider myself an “animal person.” You may have heard clippings from this yarn before. Here’s some of my companion animal history… When I was born, my parents had a rescue dog Bonzo, named after John Bonham. I don’t remember her but I hear she was… Continue reading Before
Moving Parts
What didn’t happen yesterday in our little Rescue world? I’ll just timeline it for you: 7:21 am: The first email inquiry of the day from a parent wanting a rabbit as Christmas gift for a young child arrived in our inbox. 8:15 am: Assembled a team of volunteers to standby for the potential influx of… Continue reading Moving Parts
Dear Mom…
My mother never let me have pets other than Betta fish. My Betta Bonus lived 5 or 6 years and traveled back and forth from Connecticut to home on every college break. I was never much of an animal person anyway. After college, but still living home, I asked if I could get a rabbit. … Continue reading Dear Mom…
