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…Flourless February
Before I really get into this, I want to make one thing clear: Flourless February is NOT the same as low carb. This is about not eating refined flour. The brain and body need carbohydrates to function properly; it’s just about eating the right carbs. Ok, moving on. Coming into this challenge, I didn’t eat … Continue reading 10 Months of 30 Days…Flourless February
10 Months of 30 Days…Stretch Yo’Self!
A few years ago I was in a pretty bad car accident. I rotated between the chiropractor and massage therapist until I was able to walk right again without pain and eventually run and workout again. However, since then, it’s not uncommon for me to have my pelvis, hips, and ribs out of place from … Continue reading 10 Months of 30 Days…Stretch Yo’Self!
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: 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: Sugar-free September
I have just completed my second 30-day challenge: Sugar-free September. I chose this challenge for a few reasons. The first being, like most people, I have an addiction to sugar. More specifically, I have a pastry and cookie problem. The second reason, which took me a little longer to figure out, was that I realized … Continue reading 10 Months of 30 days: Sugar-free September
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…
Celebrate! Even if only on the inside…
Today is my birthday. It’s a weird feeling this year, just as everything is weird this year I guess lol. Again with the firsts, this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been near people who know me on my birthday that I can spend time with. Even without the constant moving … Continue reading Celebrate! Even if only on the inside…
At home in myself…
As I continue to think about what it means to settle into a place and find my people, I would be remiss to ignore one of the biggest challenges I've been facing on this journey-- my sobriety. I am not struggling with sobriety itself, but with what it means to be sober in a society … Continue reading At home in myself…
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…
