On my desk…

Posted byCeleste HoltPosted inUncategorized

This Word Press site would like for me to share with you what. is on my desk today. Here we go… First, today I have been sending prayers and positive energy to my brilliant niece, Dr. Meg Ragland. Today she is giving birth to a baby boy! She is not the doctor today but the mom in labor. I love this photo. Meg, her mother, Lynn Ragland, my daughters, Maggie, Laura and Kathryn and their grandmother Margaret Fentress Holt are with me smiling and happy to be with one another. These brilliant women keep me striving to be awake to my life, to be aware of social justice and to be awash in loving kindness to other.s. Next, I realize I have seven books spread out along with my laptop. I am always reading more than one book because they ground me to this earth. Finally, I have a knitting project for Laura’s baby Grace.

I am a mother, grandmother, wife, friend, pilgrim, retired teacher, sister, Newfoundland dog owner, social justice advocate and wanna be writer. My love of books has led me to a yearning to write. This yearning comes late in my life but I am going to listen to it. Write a little each day and see where it takes me. As a professional, I had to write narrative Individual Learning Plans. These were tedious and double checked by my supervisors. The disappointment I felt when seeing the red line corrections on my students' ILPS continues to haunt me and yet I want to break away from that fear and share some stories from my life and some thoughts from my 60 plus years of experience as a native Nashvillian. Please enjoy these writings and send me any red line observations you may have! I can take it!
