1) I lived in Prague from 1991-95 and used to be able to speak Czech. What a beautiful country and culture and how I would love to go back there!
2) I love yoga. I haven't managed to get myself doing it on my own (outside of my once a week class) yet, but I love the meditation aspect and how it quiets the world down to let me listen to my inner me.
3) I love being a Mom. I am learning so much from my daughter about life (seeing it all again for the first time through her eyes!) and learning.
4) I love travelling, learning about other cultures and reading the literature of other cultures. Maybe you could recommend something I could read from the literature of your country?
5) I used to ski and figure skate, but now find it difficult just to get out for a walk. Put it on my list of things to get more organised about for 2008!!
Okay, now tell me 5 things about you. (or 5 favourite movies or 5 favourite books or....)

Hello and Welcome! Taking the Plunge...
Hi, all:
Thank you for joining me! I am hoping that it will be an exciting, introspective, up-and-down, round-and-round kind of journey. I am looking forward to building a community of parents, educators and philosophers who can build off each other's ideas to revolutionize our classroom/everday learning experiences for both our students and for ourselves. I am sure that I will be posting sporadically; please bear with me as I figure things out around here. I hope that I will respond to people who visit, post some thought-provoking questions, and take on some new challenges. If you haven't already, take a look at this wonderful video about how geese work together to get an idea of what I hope we can all be to each other as we challenge ourselves, meet new people and develop ourselves as a community of learners. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xsukj_lessons-from-geese_business
A special thank you to TESOL's Blogging 4 Educators for sharing this video and for inspiring me to finally start my own blog!
What new challenges are you taking on for 2008?
Please tell me a bit about where you live and work and share something that will be new for you in 2008.
Thanks for being here,
Alison
