More about Maryann
Teaching is my passion. It has been since I was a child. I see now that it has been a thread running through my life... as a child playing school (of course, I was the teacher); as a young eager optimistic elementary Physical Education teacher incorporating the mind-body connection into the district curriculum; as a school administrator in both Louisiana and Texas; as Director of Adult Religious Education for the Shreveport Catholic Diocese; and then in the business world where I wore many hats.
I love learning just for the sake of learning. And I love sharing what I learn. Mostly I love the eyes that light up, the smile that broadens, and the gasp of breathe when someone "gets it." I sense how wonderful they feel about themselves. For that moment they are on top of the world.
After a four-year sabbatical, I am back at it again… teaching! I learned a lot during the past four years. What I learned I have incorporated into my life; I am on my way to being what I have learned. It continues to be an incredible journey.
