Lessons From a Tiger Teacher by Deborah Bryan
My guest writer today is Deborah Bryan from The Monster in Your Closet. I found Deb after she posted a powerful, personal piece, and I praised her for being so brave. Then we got to tweeting. Then I won a contest she was running. Then we got to emailing. Then we got to exchanging phone numbers. Now I call her friend. Deb has a funky life. Sometimes she’s a mom. And sometimes she dresses up like a zombie. And sometimes she lands guest spots on reality television shows. Read Deb’s beautiful piece, check out her blog, and follow her. You will not be sorry….
