Born & raised in Grand Rapids, I furthered my education at Michigan State University.  Upon earning my Master's degree in the field of Social Work, marriage and employment brought me to the Muskegon area.  Mr. Swanson is a teacher & our daughters [ages 12 & 10] attend R-P as schools of choice students!  I've spent nearly 5 years working with developmentally challenged adults at Community Mental Health Services of Muskegon County.  I then transitioned into the field of educational services for children ~ initially working with Muskegon Heights Public School for nearly 4 1/2 years & then with Reeths-Puffer Schools since 1994. 

I'd like to finish my personal introduction by sharing a poem I found in a book I gave my daughters.  This piece talks about the 'important things in life'; it reminds me to slow down...breathe...& keep a healthy perspective ~ especially when things feel like they're out-of-control!  I hope this selection brings peace into your day as well!

Live Your World of Dreams

by Susan Polis Schutz 

 

Lean against a tree

and dream your world of dreams

Work hard at what you like to do

and try to overcome all obstacles

Laugh at your mistakes

and praise yourself for learning from them

Pick some flowers

and appreciate the beauty of nature

Say hello to strangers

and enjoy the people you know

Don't be afraid to show your emotions

laughing and crying make you feel better

Love your friends and family with your entire being

They are the most important part of your life

Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day

and plan what you want to accomplish in life

Find a rainbow

and live your

world of dreams
