And My Heart Smiled

Every day little things happen that make our hearts smile. Sometimes we ignore them, sometimes they make our days. Here, I write down about some of those moments from my day. It's a small corner on the internet meant to shed light on the positive in this world. It might not make much of a difference, but it sure feels nice to have your heart smile once and a while. Feel free to reply with your own smiling heart stories.

I started blogging several years ago in order to keep family informed during a volunteer trip to Swaziland. Since then I have started two more blogs which I post to very infrequently and irregularly. I'm a high school ESL and Social Studies teacher currently working in Nanjing, China. I've also taught in Canada and Kuwait.
