Once I dreamed my job was to remind people of their spirit. What better way to carry out that task than to put Light Words out into the world. As in all things dream I am also reminding my self of my spirit each day As I write. I hope I do as much for you. 2011
When I Started Blogging in 2011 I was intending to share the meaning of life as I knew it. Now 5 years later I realize that I am learning more about life then teaching about it. My greatest joy in blogging is meeting and sharing with people from around the world. One of my teachers told our writing class in order “to create peace in the world was to listen attentively to each other.” Whether we are sharing Photos, poems or stories I do believe that is what we are doing as bloggers. Well any way that is what I want to do.

Who Am I?
I am first of all a teacher and story teller. Originally an art teacher, then English as second language teacher, then Activities leader for Seniors. Now I am retired and I write and take photographs and wonder about the meaning of life. Recently because of my experience learning from other bloggers I tech smart phone photography.
You are a facinating woman! the blog is beautiful and inspiring in its quest and explorations! Thank you very much for following my blog! Welcome and Love to you! Linda

Thanks so much for following Oh, the Places We See. I, too, am a retired teacher who loves photography, although the latter could use a little help! It’s fun having a blog and a place to post our pictures, don’t you think? And the best thing is meeting (virtually, of course) nice people like you. Take care and stay safe.
