What a fun tutoring job...reading and discussing good books with a student over skype. It must be fascinating to hear her responses to the book, since she's so much more "local" than you are. If you share it with her, and if she finds anything I've said helpful, encourage her to comment. I'd love to hear!! Cool, Jo.

I may forward this to the student I am tutoring in Kabul. We are currently reading The Kite Runner together over Skype -- she reads a chapter, and then I read a chapter -- and she is studying for her final high school exams as well.

Thank you. I've been really dwelling on my recurring back-pain these last few days.....(And physical pain is hard NOT to dwell on.....)however, I can count many moments of joy within that situation....my son smiling and starting to giggle.....my daughter volunteering to do extra chores and actually doing them well....a nuzzle and kiss from my hubby....it's all mixed in. I'm remembering a quote that seems to fit here....."Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." Thanks for the reminder to choose a non-suffering path! :) I LOVE this post. Thank you.

I find it helps them turn off their "inner critics" and allows them to access and flow with the information they already have but the "inner critic" keeps blocking.
