Because of Two Writing Teachers, I started this blog eleven years ago. While it has been a long time since I've posted with the Slice of Life community, I'm grateful for the encouragement I was given.

1. They encourage teachers to write. When we are writing, we can better help and understand our students.

2. They encourage community. They read each other's words and share comments that touch the heart.

3. They encourage people to tell their everyday stories. To have the words written down is a wonderful gift to ourselves and to our families for years to come.

repost | why write here

Why did I start writing here?

Michelle Nero encouraged me to join the Slice of Life with Two Writing Teachers, a wonderful place to grow as a teacher. They share ideas for the classroom, and they encourage teachers of writing to write. They also know teachers, like students, need a supportive community.

Why do I keep writing here?

While I have not been a part of the Slice of Life community for a long time, I continue to write here to save thoughts and stories. Like my dad, with scrapbooks, slides, and tapes, I want to save memories for my children to enjoy now or later.

Eight years ago, I created This & That. Encouraged by the Two Writing Teachers to be a writing teacher who writes, I decided to start a blog about family, faith and teaching.

Sharing Our Stories | ruth's words

[Our stories] belong to the Lord, and He wants to use them to inspire and strengthen and encourage and make the world a better place. - Ruth Ayres

Since I was young, I've collected quotes. I used to write them down in journals, but then I started a blog called, Little House on the Ridge. It's where I save them now.

I have a collection of quotes by Ruth started there. About 12 years ago, I met her through Two Writing Teachers and I have loved reading Ruth's words ever since. God has used her stories to inspire and strengthen and encourage many.

Because of Two Writing Teachers, I started writing on a blog seven years ago. While it has been a long time since I've posted with the Slice of Life community, I'm still grateful for the encouragement I was given.

Why participate in the Slice of Life?

- It encourages teachers to write.

We can better help and understand our students when we are writing.

- It encourages community.

We read each other's words and share comments that touch the writer's heart.

- It encourages people to tell their everyday stories.

And saving the stories is a wonderful gift to ourselves and to our families for years to come.
