My Mom is Really Smart

by Nettie Hartsock on March 19, 2009

My mom is my hero. She is a 72 year old teaching English in a 90% economically disadvantaged district in Dallas ISD. Tonight I spoke to her (calling in from her annual lemming trip to Branson) and here is what she said about life:

“Everyone wants to feel as though their lives have meaning, espescially creative people – it’s like water to them.”

Make your life meaningful, your blog posts meaningful, your facebook missives and Twitter dalliances meaningful and everything else will follow.

Sometimes the simplest words carry powerful meaning. This really clarified for me how to communicate via the web. Thanks, Nettie.

Thanks so much Pamela. My mom is just a wonderful 30 year teacher (literally) and so gifted on tuning in to just the right thing! Thanks for reading the blog too!
