I finally made it...the last 30-day challenge of the school year. I started this as a way of attempting to have some semblance of balance throughout the year, something I have never really been able to achieve as an educator. I'd love to say that it brought the balance I was looking for, but instead … Continue reading The 10th Month of 30 Days…Following My Curiosity

10 Months of 30 Days…Leveling Up
This challenge started with such promise lol. The idea was to work on developing my Instructional Design skills because I want a plan for what's next in my life. I don't think it's ever been a secret to anyone that knows me that teaching was never going to be the last stop for me. I … Continue reading 10 Months of 30 Days…Leveling Up
So, This is a Resort…
Those that know me at all or have been following my blog for any length of time know that I take solo vacations frequently. Maybe frequently isn't the right word because I live on teacher pay, but I try to go once a year on a solo vacation to regroup and decompress. This year I … Continue reading So, This is a Resort…
10 Months of 30 Days…Read!!
This month's challenge was to take time every day to read for pleasure. I recognize that to some it might seem silly having this as a challenge. I love to read, and one would think that because I love to read that I do it often. Unfortunately, that's not the case. My job makes it … Continue reading 10 Months of 30 Days…Read!!
10 Months of 30 Days…Tai Chi!
Yes, Tai Chi. This month, my goal was to practice Tai Chi every day. Why Tai Chi? Because I need to be the next Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse! Duh. Lol no. I’ve been wanting to learn Tai Chi for years so decided this would be the perfect time. I chose this for November knowing that … Continue reading 10 Months of 30 Days…Tai Chi!
10 Months of 30 Days: Get Outside!
To some, it may seem silly that I picked a challenge like this: go outside for 30 minutes every day. But honestly, I’m amazed at how easily I’ve become somewhat of a shut-in. I go to work; I come home, and I may never leave the house again until the next morning when I go … Continue reading 10 Months of 30 Days: Get Outside!
10 months of 30 days…
I am a teacher. This means a lot of different things to me, but the biggest one is that my work-life balance is non-existent for about 10 months of the year. These last few years it’s been closer to 12 since I was moving and transitioning every summer. What I do have, I fight for … Continue reading 10 months of 30 days…
There’s a First for Everything…
There's an itch for change that I get every year around this time, and every year for the last 20, it's been scratched. Not this time. For the first time in 20 years, I am not moving into a new home, applying for jobs, interviewing, or changing my position. For the first time, I'm staying … Continue reading There’s a First for Everything…
Murphy can take his law and shove it
If you’ve been following my blog at all, you know a couple things: 1) I just came full circle back to the place I always wanted to be to start my dream job, and (2) in order to do that, I moved into my 41st home. I want to make that clear because I need … Continue reading Murphy can take his law and shove it
On the Road Again…
When this publishes, I will already be at my destination and moved into my new place 1900 miles from where I sit writing this. I’m a little more than 12 hours away from hopping in the big truck to tow my car and everything I own across the country…again, for the umpteenth time. I can’t … Continue reading On the Road Again…
