Our Mystical Barn
Moving from the Washington, DC metropolitan area to a smaller city in the Midwest to begin my teaching career was simultaneously an exciting and humbling experience. Once the relocation was complete, the most exciting challenge I encountered was convincing my colleagues that I was sincere and happy to be there. I was honored to be there since I chose to accept an Assistant Professor position with the University of Dayton because they offered the most attractive compensation package. Since teaching is not necessarily a financially rewarding profession, my goal was to seek the most attractive offer and earn enough to support my family while pursuing my passion.

Many wondered how the country could be united after the election declared a winner since both the Democratic and Republican candidates vowed to contest the election results irrespective of whether the outcome was definitive or not.

How to Create Memorable Moments with Crafts?
Is it possible to create crafts that can generate everlasting memories? Yes, all we need to do is first identify those that are special to us and develop something that will have a positive impact on their lives. Pleasure is not a zero-sum game. Just because we find something that triggers joyous memories for us doesn’t mean it can’t do the same for others.
