About me...
I am an educator, a mother and grandmother, an entreprenuer, an art gallery curator, and a digital creator. My content creation began in 2009, with two websites-”Best Learning Strategies”, to express the best of what I knew from my decades of teaching.
And Meme Dreams and Talisman Stories, my determined and inspired desire to share the best of what I know about Life Itself…
Also, while raising a family and teaching full time, I created this website for kids, called Inspire Us Kids, now Express Yourself Kids.
During a work leave, I dropped into doll collecting, learning about eBay and Etsy, curating a phenomenal collection of doll characters, designed by well known designers like Dianna Effner and Berdine Creedy.
I created a big photo site, Hiya Dolly, telling stories with the dolls I gathered, writing a weekly newsletter from the perspective of one of the Dolltown characters. And created a kids education book on Amazon KDP, with my dolls as characters, “Ana’s Alphabet Book A to Z".


I am inspired...
...by children and their ability to start fresh at every turn, by their willingness to enjoy themselves in their own way, and by their curiosity.
...by the world around us, how we got to where we are now, and what kids can do to bring about good changes.
...and by the relationships we have with each other, that keep us safe and feeling good.
We are each unique, but mostly the same. Love is at the core of all inspiration, and that good ideas for kids come in many forms for each of us.
I hope that this site will bring some good ideas into the lives of children and youth. Every good idea makes a difference. My meme dreams...
