Top Of My Head

This, that & the other . . .

January 14, 2010

What's up Jaime here.
I know it's been way too long . . . but I'm back.
First off I deactivated my Facebook account. I just couldn't take it anymore. Mostly it was a distraction from what I'm supposed to be doing which is WRITING!
You can probably tell the whole self promo thing rings kind of hollow for me,(even though that's what's on the 1st pg of my site :)) but I suppose it's a necessary evil. What I love to do is talk about the incredible students and teachers I meet across the country, and I can't wait to start my school visits which will begin around Feb 27th. All those dates I will be posting soon on the ON TOUR/PICS section of my site. 2009 was a great year for meeting some wonderful folks at the schools I visited! I get inspired probably more by them then they do from me!
It really is the BEST part of my job.
I promise to write more soon, and more frequently. Shout me out if you read this, would love to hear from you!!

God Bless!

Jaime
