Parenting Tips by Tesa Jones

Tesa Jones Blog 2 24

Several times in the last couple of weeks, people have asked me to repeat my philosophy on this subject . . . here it is in a nutshell. During the years when I was teaching, the parents of my toddlers often asked for parenting advice.  Many of them were first time parents who were struggling with their child; however, some of the parents had several children and were confused because each child reacted differently. My first response is always —…..

We Need to LEARN from HISTORY

Tesa Jones Blog, Uncategorized 4 11

The film “Dr. Zhivago” is based on the novel by Boris Pasternnik. It is — at its heart — an incredible love story; however, the film is much more than a romantic journey. It uses historical events as a backdrop and is well worth your time to watch it. If you choose to watch “Dr. Zhivago”, I highly recommend doing a little preliminary research on Russian history of the era before viewing the film because — in my opinion —…..

Let Us Never Forget!

Tesa Jones Blog 4 33

Memorial Day Weekend             As we enjoy this three day weekend with family and friends, let us not forget why Americans have a day off to relax and enjoy. Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day celebrating the lives of more than 620,000 soldiers who died during the Civil War (April 12, 1861 to  May 13, 1865)   Although the South was well known for “decorating” the graves of their soldiers during the Civil War,…..

Have you ever had one of those days when you truly wish you could START OVER?

Tesa Jones Blog 6 28

Have you ever had one of those days when you truly wish you could start over? Perhaps it was a volatile interaction with a co-worker . . .  or a misunderstanding with a friend . . . or a nasty argument with your spouse . . . or a screaming match with your child . . .  or a horrible traffic jam that put you in an irate mood; consequently, you took your anger out on a stranger  . ……

What are you grateful for today?

Tesa Jones Blog 0 26

In honor of Thanksgiving Weekend, I have a question for all of you! Like it or not, we are all rapidly approaching the hectic, crazy time of year we fondly refer to as “The Holidays.”  Often —  we are so busy — we forget why we are celebrating; instead, we plow through the days checking things off of our to-do lists.  I’m just like you!  Too much on my plate and not enough time to do it all.  Consequently, I…..

Have You Seen the Movie POMS?

Tesa Jones Blog 0 15

Have you seen the recently released movie POMS starring Diane Keaton? First, I must admit . . . I would never have picked this movie on my own.  Movie tickets are expensive; I normally do not pick a comedy that is just as good on my television set as it is in the theater.  However, my girlfriends chose to see this movie and invited me to join them.  As a result, I elected to go more to spend time with…..

Walking with the Enemy

Tesa Jones Blog 3 19

To date, I have not blogged about a movie or my opinion of it; however, Walking with the Enemy is intensely powerful and left an emotional impact on my mind as well as in my heart.  I can’t stop thinking about it.  As a result, I feel compelled to share this thought provoking film with my readers.  It is based on a true story – set in Hungary during World War II – and spotlights real life heroes. First of…..

Learn From Other People’s Mistakes

Tesa Jones Blog 0 18

When I thought about the topic of my first blog post of 2019, I initially had a totally different subject to address.  However, this morning as I sipped on my second cup of coffee and flipped through an old family album, I discovered a Dear Abby entry from The Washington Post.  I am not sure of the exact date; however, because of its placement in the album, I believe it was in the summer months  of 1991. At the time…..

Take Care of Your Memories

Tesa Jones Blog 2 35

“Take care of your memories for you cannot relive them.”  Bob Dylan I took this picture several years ago when I visited Elon’s majestic campus for Homecoming.  It inspired so many personal college memories; in addition, it also was a reflection of my imagination too!  For those of you who have already read Cobwebs of Time, you know the importance of Elon’s campus and particularly the beautiful lake next to Harper Center (in the 1970s)  This was the setting for…..
