This afternoon we dropped our 16-year old off at the university library so he could do some research. Students from his high school have privileges there. My husband asked me if I ever miss college... More »

How do you share what you've learned?

Posted on Jun 15th, 2009 by Jamilah : Creative Thinker Jamilah

With my sons, I share what I've learned through communication and dialogue. Sometimes our conversations extend far and wide. With the world, I share what I've learned through my writing. I hope someone is listening.

What did you, or do you, like most about school?

Posted on Mar 6th, 2009 by Jamilah : Creative Thinker Jamilah

What do you think you're supposed to learn in this lifetime?

Posted on Feb 10th, 2009 by Jamilah : Creative Thinker Jamilah

As much as I can. But really, I think that the most important part of my education is the simplest. These are the lessons I knew as a small child, but may have forgotten. How... More »

What do you most need to learn?

Posted on Feb 9th, 2009 by Jamilah : Creative Thinker Jamilah

Marketing skills for selling my books. I love writing but I'm terrible at making sales--probably couldn't sell water in the desert.
