It’s that time of year again for some reflection. Though, anyone that knows me knows reflection is a constant state of being for me, but today is the anniversary of my dad's passing, and that always comes with a certain level of renewed perspective. As I get closer to the age he was when he … Continue reading Legacies…

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…Listening to my body.
This month was completely upended before it even began. I initially wanted to add additional activity to the end of my day. Nothing intense necessarily, or even super long. I just didn’t like the habit I’d gotten into of coming home and zoning out in my comfy chair, completely depleted of energy for my entire … Continue reading 10 Months of 30 Days…Listening to my body.
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…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…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!
