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…
Fearing the Dream
I’ve spent the last 13 years on one hell of a personal development journey, always trying to learn and grow, in the hopes of being better each day than I was the day before. (Some days have been better than others to say the least). There have been many points throughout that time where I … Continue reading Fearing the Dream
Coming Full Circle
If you've read any of my past blogs (the 38th move, Comfortable Misery, etc), you know how I have always felt about the place I moved away from. Which is why it’s so crazy for me to write that I’m going back. I can hear you now... “what the f*#k, you say?!” I get it. … Continue reading Coming Full Circle
3341 miles/ 1376 songs/ 2 weeks
I recently returned from a two-week road trip down the east coast. I decided after a two-year hiatus from my solo trip (one because of Covid) that it was time to start it up again at a different resort. If you've read any of my previous posts about my solo vacation you'll know why. Since … Continue reading 3341 miles/ 1376 songs/ 2 weeks
What the 38th move feels like…
You read that right- I have moved 38 times. I have moved every 6 months to a year of my adult life, following years of moving as part of a military family. It's in my blood. I'm used to it. I figured this one would be just as easy as all the rest, but it … Continue reading What the 38th move feels like…
Out with the old…
When I started this blog, I told myself that I would give it a year and see how I felt. That year mark has arrived so it’s time to reflect and see what my next steps will be. It’s been a crazy, and very full year. I had promised myself when I began, that I … Continue reading Out with the old…
Goals Schmoals…
I don’t know about you, but I am about 100% tired of all the resolution and goal-setting crap that has been inundating my inbox over the past week. If you are anything like me, you make goals by the day if not the minute. Each day we start out with a new goal in mind, … Continue reading Goals Schmoals…
