Stiff White Guys 8.8.09

I love the opportunity to substitute teach. Its always like a huge gift that flies out of nowhere. Although its a little scary and sometimes intimidating, I always find that gratitude melts that negative energy away. I took the early class which was subbed by Alana and it was lovely, so I was in a really great place, personally speaking, to share with the SWG class.
