I should preface this by making it clear that I’m not suggesting letting go of having dreams and aspirations, but rather the idea that there is A dream that needs to come true. For the better part of the last 20 years, I have been fighting for my dream of being a teacher. I’ve been … Continue reading Letting Go of the Dream and Embracing What is…

Celebrating Being Alive…
Today is the anniversary of my stroke. That's possibly a weird thing to “celebrate,” but each year that’s what Valentine’s Day reminds me of- a day that changed my life forever and continues to with its residual aftermath. Every year, I celebrate that I'm alive and have made it through another year healthy and moving … Continue reading Celebrating Being Alive…
Surrender…
A couple years ago, The Washington Post published an article that talked about picking nudge words for each new year rather than resolutions. A word to encompass your intention and focus for the year ahead. This really resonated with me as I’ve never been one to get into the whole resolution thing. I prefer to … Continue reading Surrender…
Keeping Promises…
Three days after my last post, my cousin went into the hospital. A week later she passed away losing a battle with congenital heart failure, a disease that runs in my dad's side of the family, perpetuating a vicious cycle of people in our family dying much too young. This disease claimed my uncle at … Continue reading Keeping Promises…
Growing Pains…
Last month I had another birthday- one of my best as I spent multiple days over the month catching up with friends and family. It was extended for so long that it took me a while to remember that having a birthday meant I’m a year older. I guess I’ve finally reached that age where … Continue reading Growing Pains…
The 10th Month of 30 Days…Following My Curiosity
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!
