The "Studies" Buddy

"Every moment is the perfect teacher"- Pema Chodron I'm Terra. I'm a learner,writer, teacher, and lover of all humanity with a focus on the under 18 set. Advocate for hope,friendship, peace, justice and equality in all forms. What is there to say? Life is a journey, one you take slowly at times, and sometimes with a tad bit more momentum. The beauty of this journey is found in the stories that surround you. The people that you meet and the memories that you make. I don't try to avoid the unavoidable, and I don't try to predict the unpredictable. I don't make plans , but find my guidance from above, and the people I love. Everybody has a story, Everybody has a tale, if we put our stories together than we can never fail.

I love when Walden Alumni come to visit before they are off to their college adventures. Good luck at UC Santa Cruz @areyouready0000 You can always come home to Walden, and we encourage you to do so. (at Walden School)

We can always CHOOSE the path we take at any given moment. Thank you New York for the reminder and reset. We travel home today to a new adventure. I'm already researching visiting NYC with kids. #latergram #moenterra #i❤️nyc (at New York, New York)

When in Brooklyn.....I think this is the earliest I've woken up during the entire trip, but we had to make the 9:00am service. Thanks BT for a blessed, introspective and energized beginning to our day. #faithinthecity #moenterra #i❤️nyc (at Brooklyn Tabernacle Church ~ Downtown Brooklyn)

Kinda digging the view right now... (My hubby calls this our country's tribute to the patriarchy) 😳😱🤔 Just me, Moe, and Whittney....and 10,000 of our closest friends. 7 minutes until fireworks. Can't wait to bring the kiddos here. #happy4th #grounding #workhardplayevenharder #moenterra (at Lincoln Memorial)

There are several things I am grateful to Barack and Michelle for. Watching my mama receive quality health care is one of the top of my list. Over the years we've been to and through a lot of paperwork, lines, doctors, hospitals and clinics. It has had numerous challenges, one of the main ones being respect, personal dignity and overall access. Health Care Reform has made all the difference for her, for me, for us. Next stop---gun control. #gratitudeadventure #hopeisthethingwithfeathers (at White Memorial Medical Center/Adventist Health)

Thanks everyone for your concern. ❤️ We appreciate it. Fires are a natural part of the iconic Los Angeles summer. No evacuation just for us just yet, but here is the view from our garage. All is still well in Azusa, but we have a bed on standby if necessary #wedidntstartthefire #gratefulforfirefighters #mountainlivingproblems (at Azusa Canyon)

It was incredible seeing these beautiful girls and Walden Alumni at graduation yesterday. Their poise, grace and presence was a gift to all who were there. Thank you @alexbylauren for being our inaugural alumni speaker. #classof2016 #walden #graduates #youcanalwayscomehometowalden

There are moments I ❤️ being an Angeleno. Riding my bike around the city at night to get my workout in and see giant inflatable bunnies is definitely one of them. Smiles all around. #hoptoit #ilovela #moenterra #gratitudeadventure💚 (at Los Angeles, California)

So good to be in the company of teachers and school leaders to hear the tumbles, rumbles, dreams and new beginnings of progressive schools across the country. #PEN #pdrocks #learningrevolution #networkingsaveslives (at Wickliffe Elementary School)
