Excerpt
Often the most disruptive students were the ones that struggled to succeed academically and socially. One day while I was walking through the halls of the social studies wing, a young woman, who was normally very disruptive and challenging to teach, squealed, “Mrs. Olmstead, I love you!” and gave me a great big hug. “What was that for?” I asked. She said her history teacher had just handed her a report card and that I had “given” her her first passing grade in three years. Without taking a breath I replied, “I don’t ‘give’ grades to anyone. You earned that ‘D’ on your own. If you had earned an ‘F’ or an ‘A’ I would have reported that, also.” This small success turned around her attitude in my class and she proved to herself she could achieve, if only in my classroom.

Reflections and Nature Watercolors is a collection of Margaret's spontaneous positive thoughts in celebrating and reflecting on life and her nature watercolors.
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
