Washington Irving And I~ Tears

Posted on May 29, 2014 by ivonprefontaine

Vulnerability is the hallmark of strength. Admitting we are wrong, hurt, seek forgiveness, etc. is challenging. It calls upon us to look inward and embrace our vulnerability as we ask others to accept it, as well.

About ivonprefontaine

I completed a PhD at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. Previously, I taught for 20 years and taught for 15 years in a wonderful hybrid school. My dissertation topic and research were how certain teachers experience becoming who teachers. In teaching and leanring, I am a boundary-crosser who understands moving ahead is a leap of faith. Teaching is a calling and vocation to express who I am as a person. Currently, I am waiting and listening to what calls me next. I am an educator, phenomenologist, scholar, boundary-crosser, published poet, author, parent, grandparent, and spouse.

    In three sentences, your opening introduction moves me to the core… just as much as this incredible wisdom from Washington Irving in the Simple Pleasure’s post. Thank you for all you share and pass along, Ivon. This is always such an inspiring and thought-provoking place to visit… my kind of place!! Gina
