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…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: 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
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…
Gilmore Girls ain’t got nothin’ on us…
The title is not meant to upset anyone lol. I absolutely love that show. "The Gilmore Girls" was a show my mom and I would watch together and say how lucky we were to have a relationship like that (without dressing up in weird costumes, all night dance-a-thons, or talking so fast). Even better, we … Continue reading Gilmore Girls ain’t got nothin’ on us…
