- [The Best of You – A Lesson In Self-Appreciation](https://deborahanndavis.com/the-best-of-you-a-lesson-in-self-appreciation-2/) - It’s daunting to be responsible for our daughters, who hang on our every word and deed. We try to be a good example for her to follow, but we are human, and by definition, imperfect. That’s okay, because perfectionism is not a requirement for being an Awesome Mom. >whew!< That’s good news for me! (and
- [Forget Big Brother… The Cherub Is Watching](https://deborahanndavis.com/forget-big-brother-the-cherub-is-watching/) - Seriously? She had me paged in a Connecticut store from California? Hot under the collar, I found and punched the “R” on my keyboard, hit send, and rushed over to check out, hoping I had enough cash so I wouldn’t have to whip out a credit card identifying me as that Deborah Davis.
- [Sex Myths Believed By Inexperienced Teens](https://deborahanndavis.com/sex-myths-believed-by-inexperienced-teens-2/) - Warning- This post does not handle this conversation delicately. It is frank and to the point. As a teacher, I've heard it all (okay, maybe not all, but I've heard a lot). Students have soooo many misconceptions about their bodies, about how others see them, and about what is going on socially in their school.

- [Back In the Beginning…](https://deborahanndavis.com/back-in-the-beginning/) - Lately, I’ve been sharing my view that the “new normal” is simply Change, and lots of it. If we wait around for the dust to settle, we’ll get no traction, and we’ll waste valuable living-life time.

- [What Happens When the Lights Go Out?](https://deborahanndavis.com/what-happens-when-the-lights-go-out/) - For some perspective, that's the equivalent of a 40 watt light bulb burning for 25 hours, or a person doing manual labor for 8 hours (like shoveling snow).
- [What Happens When the Lights Go Out?](https://deborahanndavis.com/happens-lights-go/) - This past December our electric bill was over $500! If there are about 730 hours in a month, shutting off my house would save me less than a dollar. That’s not much, but that’s the beauty of the Ripple Effect. There are about 24,920 households in my town. If only half of them observe Earth Hour, that would be a savings of over $8700 in this town alone.

Sometimes change intimidates me, too, but then I remember that I am the sum total of all the changes that have already occurred.

I wish they had been more common 20 years ago. Oh well, at least they're here now.
- [A Competitive Perspective](https://deborahanndavis.com/a_competitive_perspective/) - No matter how you train, or how much you prepare, you cannot control whether you win or lose because you cannot control who shows up to compete against you, whether in sports, in grades, or in job interviews.

I had an untreated piece of black coral in its natural form, IMG_1562complete with an embedded shell.
- [Virtual Book Review Tour](https://deborahanndavis.com/virtual-book-review-tour/) - Unique. That is the word I would use to describe Deborah Ann Davis's novel and her main character. I loved that the main character wasn't some casanova or supremely popular kid. He was a bit geeky and had plenty of problems that stemmed from that. It made him compelling and easy to get behind as a character.

But he was a really BIG TORTOISE, probably a foot in diameter. He was
- [My Lucky Day](https://deborahanndavis.com/my-lucky-day/) - Officer Mandel wasn’t terribly excited about my plan to go sit under the biggest tree this side of the Mississippi (some silliness about trying to run in flip-flops across three lanes in the middle of rush hour traffic, and leaving behind my AC). The officer sat behind me, flashing lights providing a buffer against the traffic that had been previously zooming around the curve.
- [Back to School](https://deborahanndavis.com/back-to-school/) - The first hint that school is around the corner is the suddenly cool evenings in August. The second is the first orange leaves scattered among the trees. The third is the endless commercials for Back to School sales. I decided to celebrate the return to academia with my own way...

- [Don’t Take Reviews Personally](https://deborahanndavis.com/dont-take-reviews-personally/) - I have heard several times that authors should not bother reading their book reviews because they take you on a emotional roller coaster ride.

- [The First Kiss Moment - Romance Outside Of A Book](https://deborahanndavis.com/the-first-kiss-moment/) - I had kinda pictured this moment of intimacy differently. In the movies, pivotal moments such as The First Kiss Moment usually involved some sort of touching; you know, a cuddle, an arm draped over my shoulder, or at least hand-holding. They hardly ever involved scowling over folded arms.

Science affects the jobs we have, and what powers our economy. It needs our help to remain pure, so join the March for Science.

- [The Inner Game Of Tennis Is Played Against Yourself](https://deborahanndavis.com/inner-game-tennis-played/) - Both approaches jumble our emotions like a rollercoaster ride. Player A gets emotionally scrambled internally, and Player B is emotionally whipped externally. The Ref, on the other hand, doesn’t have either of those ups and downs. She understands her self worth as she simply observes.
- [Do As I Say, Not As I Do](https://deborahanndavis.com/do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do/) - The “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” philosophy does not work. It only serves to teach her that you don’t actually believe in the “Do As I Say” part. What you Say and Do ALWAYS matters. If she sees you living a lie, her trust in you suffers. That, my friends, is the core of teen angst.

- [Talking To Teens: Conversation Starters and Stoppers](https://deborahanndavis.com/talking-teens-conversation-starters-stoppers-2/) - Begin with baby steps Make your talks short and sweet in the beginning. Chat for a moment or two, and then excuse yourself. If your teen wants to continue the conversation, he’ll follow you out of the room. If he doesn’t, he won’t feel any pressure.

- [Girls Who Look Like Their Fathers](https://deborahanndavis.com/girls-who-look-like-their-fathers/) - Little girls automatically want to look like their beautiful mother. Life is much simpler if they resemble the lead female in the home than for Girls Who Look Like Daddy. However, if your daughter resembles her handsome dad, it can mess with her self-concept. Well-meaning relatives who pinch her toddler cheeks and say, “Oooh, you
- [When Caffeine Becomes Creepy: 10 Surprise Sources](https://deborahanndavis.com/caffeine-becomes-creepy/) - Nowadays, caffeine is the drug of choice. Did you know that chocolate has added caffeine? You can find it listed in the ingredients as Other Flavors or Spices or, my favorite misnomer, Natural Flavorings (which are all code for “we aren’t going to tell you what’s in here”). According to Honor Whiteman in Medical News Today, so are things like jellybeans, waffles, chewing gum and syrup. That’s crazy (in my humble opinion).
- [Supermom or Awesome Mom?](https://deborahanndavis.com/supermom-awesome-mom/) - Supermoms are supposed to single-handedly juggle jobs, families, and love, while tending to our own self-development and growth. In case you believe this fairytale, let me get rid of that pressure for you right now. That’s an impossible myth. Don’t buy into it. Don’t let other people seduce you into buying into it, and definitely don’t let them guilt you into it. It’s a fallacy. Supermoms don’t exist, either. Period.

I asked many people this question: If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your 15-year-old self, knowing what you know
- [Guns or Guidance Counselors?](https://deborahanndavis.com/guns-or-guidance-counselors/) - “The American School Counselor Association recommends a student-to-student counselor ratio of 250:1.” That means your child is vying for counselor time amongst 249 other kids… if you live in one of the 3 states that meet this criteria. “The national average is 491:1, while in California and Arizona, it’s 822:1 and 941:1, respectively.” And they think guns are the problem?
- [10 Jokes for the Road](https://deborahanndavis.com/jokes-for-the-road/) - I was known to do both, depending on what I was teaching. But, on the days when we had a minute to spare, my students were charged with making me laugh. A good joke, especially a science joke, was their ticket out of my room before the bell. (That was actually frowned upon, but the kids never went too far because they were listening to the others jokes.)
- [1 Minute Rant About the Information Industry](https://deborahanndavis.com/1-minute-rant-information-industry/) - Last week my mother cut out an article from the New York Times touting how a gluten-free diet is dangerous to your health.

I can’t get my time back’.” He shook his head, his disapproval more than evident.
- [How Early Is Too Early?](https://deborahanndavis.com/how-early-is-too-early/) - Our “bop-pum” story, now a favorite family anecdote, came to mind when heard the podcast today. Based on my own personal experiences, I offer this humble opinion: People are uncomfortable with things that are different. If body vocabulary is made casual within the family, small children will use it indiscriminately outside of the home, where it is not casual. Unfortunately, if their vocabulary is not as innocent-sounding to the rest of the world, they may receive negative feedback… but you may never be made aware of the conflict. Without the knowledge of what your toddlers are experiencing, you are helpless to address it.
- [Iberia Is No More](https://deborahanndavis.com/article-iberia-is-no-more/) - We arrived at Boston’s Logan International Airport four hours before boarding time.

What should I do?](https://deborahanndavis.com/tornado-warning-what-should-i-do/) - Waiting with my computer… and the older couple hunting for an umbrella substitute because she just got her hair done and doesn’t want to get it wet. Waiting with a young father with two school-age girls sitting on another patio set. He’s kind enough to show me the storm on his phone so we can watch it pass as we listen to it pound the roof. Apparently, my smart phone is smart enough to pull up the same images, but I’m not, so I rely on the kindness of strangers.
- [Ignorance is Bliss](https://deborahanndavis.com/ignorance-is-bliss/) - Fast forward to today… I’m sashaying through the gym with my headphones on, inordinately pleased with myself as my new music, which I loaded on myself, starts to come through on my playlist. Then, Get It On queues up.
- [My Favorite Tattoo](https://deborahanndavis.com/my-favorite-tattoo/) - Today I saw my new favorite tattoo. It was on the upper arm of a handsome muscular young man. To be honest, in general, I am not a fan of tattoos. That’s due to an article I read years ago about how the tattoo industry wasn’t regulated.
