The Thing I Didn’t Know I’d Lost
I had a small, unexpected moment the other day. I was holding a newspaper. Not scrolling headlines. Not tapping links. Actually holding it — the weight of it, the sound when I folded it, the faint smell of ink on paper. It surprised me how natural it felt… and how long it had been since…
Every Day is an Interview
Every day we wake up is a gift. It doesn’t matter if yesterday was a disaster or if things didn’t go your way—when you open your eyes to a new morning, you’ve been given another chance. A reset. Another opportunity to do good things. Think about it this way: every day is an interview. An…
From One Parent to Another: What Happens Now Without the Department of Education?
I’m not usually one to write publicly about political shifts, but as a parent, I can’t stay quiet about this. The recent dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education has left me deeply unsettled. And if you’re a parent too, maybe you’re feeling that same tightness in your chest—that same mix of confusion, fear, and…
Future of Language Education: It’s A Big Deal!
Imagine this: You’re in a hospital waiting room with a loved one who has just been rushed in for emergency care. The doctors are asking critical questions, but your loved one doesn’t speak English fluently.

Pause – Reflect – Fly: The Gift of Reflection
As the calendar turned its pages, signaling the arrival of a new year, the air buzzed with anticipation and the promise of change. For many, including myself, this was a time for resolutions, a fresh start, and the pursuit of new paths, habits, and aspirations. As I settled back into the familiar routine of daily…
From the other side of the looking glass…
Have you ever thought about the other side? Not like the other side of life – life after death (I’ll save that for another day) This is the time of the year when people all around us celebrate Spring, the awakening of Mother Nature. Welcoming Her into the beauty and the adornment of a new…
beacause someone always did…
Have you ever thought about why someone always leaves one light on in a house at night? I typically do not have a normal sleep schedule (if you cannot already tell). Typically I go to bed when work is done, I can’t keep my eyes open, or a dog wakes me up to go out.…
“Hi it’s me… “
for today – Monday – was a hard beginning. Missing my mom, and finding my way through it today!
Shadow No More
finding that sitting on the edge of the light is not where you want to be. stepping into the light and away from the shadow… it is a metamorphosis of sorts…
let’s begin
This is me… Dara Farrar (when I am all dolled up) Below is me on regular days… the true daily look. This is my blog… whatsthis.life where I will share random thoughts about life, experiences, and share stories. A way to connect with other to let you know you are not alone. There will be…
About This Girl
At least once a day allow yourself the freedom to think and dream for yourself.
Alert Einstein
I am Dara – a compassionate human that thinks a lot. I mull ideas, conversations, and situations around in my head A LOT!
I don’t know if the words and ideas in my head will connect to others – but what the heck I will write them here for you to see!
