Hi Ponderers!
I’m lucky. I have a labor of love I can pursue: this blog, Public Ponder.
I started out writing about parenting and all I’ve learned from Diego, my 29-year-old autistic and cognitively challenged son. I now write about everything that bewilders me about the human experience, including why habits matter, why I got Botox, what success means, why independence is overvalued, why it’s so hard to admit our mistakes, and why I quit my teaching job after 17 years.
My goal is to explore, laugh about, and enrich the human experience, mine AND YOURS -whatever it might be.
I invite you to ponder with me by:
- Subscribing to newsletter, where I share my latest posts and insights.
- Following Public Ponder’s Facebook page to comment on PP’s stories.
Peace,
Daniella
My personal principles:
- Do the good that’s in front of you (from meditation teacher and author Sharon Salzberg).
- Face all (irrational) fears.
- Always ask myself: Would it help? (from the movie Bridge of Spies).
- Doubt my certainties.
- Stay curious.
- Every minute counts.
Something I repeat to myself several times daily:
“The rest of my life starts NOW.”
