Being fat, Fab 5, and living in tension

August 18, 2019August 18, 2019 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

I have always had what I call a healthy self esteem. Despite being overweight since puberty (but was I though? like, my memory tells me I was chunky in high school but when I look back at pictures I don't see it), I've never felt, or at least never felt that I felt, less than … Continue reading Being fat, Fab 5, and living in tension

We really can do hard things

November 17, 2016November 17, 2016 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

You know all those bible verses we quote like, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and, "Nothing is impossible with God," and, "I do it all for the glory of God"?

Here's the thing about my first year teaching first grade... it's over! I did it! We did it! Yesterday Glennon (I feel like we're on a first name basis now for how often I reference her posts) told us to love ourselves and be proud of ourselves for something we've done lately. Yesterday I sat with my … Continue reading Here’s the thing about my first year teaching first grade

Sometimes I look around me at the beach or at bible study or on the bus or at … Continue reading Here’s the thing about the women I needed to see part 2: body-love

Saturdays with Suzanne

October 27, 2013May 16, 2014 ~ Suzanne ~ 1 Comment

Yesterday was IBEM's 10th annual Women's Conference. (IBEM is my Dominican church - Iglesia Bautista Evangelica de Macoris). It was my 2nd annual Women's Conference and I have to be honest, in the days preceding I wasn't super excited about it. I certainly wasn't dreading it, but I remember last year being hot and long … Continue reading Saturdays with Suzanne

Here’s the thing about “I can’t”

September 18, 2013February 18, 2014 ~ Suzanne ~ 1 Comment

My students say, "I can't," a lot. Usually when I've just asked them to draw something. I'll say something like, "Now I would like you to draw the story we've just read." Then three or four or seventeen of my students will say/whine, "Yo no pueeeeeedooo, profeeeeeee." ("I caaaaan't, teeeeeacher"). (Dominican Spanish is very whiny, … Continue reading Here’s the thing about “I can’t”
