No idea what I'm doing but had a bunch of seeds so decided to experiment
Edible flower mixture has sprouted. Also the arugula. I see some movement in the cress.
But it's a 3 season porch so I may have made a mess of the temperatures and planted the peppers too early.
Ah well... learning. 😁

Jewish Kidlit Joy: Post #3 I've been meaning to read RGB's Brave & Brilliant Women by Nadine Epstein for a couple of years. Presenting the biographies in chronological order worked well & helped emphasize how even when women were meant to be invisible, there were always those that stood out.

I'm reading 18 new (or new to me) Jewish kidlit books. The number 18, in Judaism, represents Chai or Life.
I just read Two Tribes by Emily Bowen Cohen and I can't say enough good things about this debut MG graphic novel about navigating identities (Jewish & Muskogee).

The point of challenges like these are to experiment with new media (Procreate), play, and maybe shake yourself outside your comfort zone and see what comes up
I do like how Procreate makes sketches look a lot more polished than they deserve to look

The confluence of Lashon Hara ("evil tongue") and The Danger of a Single Story often results in the most harmful toxicity. One such story kept me up stewing way too late last night and resulted in a new Verbose Outline that I didn't actually want to write.

It was an honor and privilege to attend. What a fabulous week with these amazing people!
Now that the dust is settling from a hard re-entry back home followed by High Holidays, it's time to get back to work!

I spent the week at the Highlights Foundation with an amazing group of Jewish writers sponsored by the PJ Library. Being in community with them was absolutely amazing, and though I was supposedly teaching, I learned as much as taught.
