So, I've been stirring about sitting down and writing during this time. Among the other things I'm composing, reading and researching, I came across a token from the past. Over 10 years ago, I had started a blog that I COMPLETELY forgot about. Therefore, before I compose anything new (don't worry.. I'll have another one …
Uncertainty.
To begin with, I'm straight forward uncertain on how this blog will unfold. I appreciate the pureness in thought and the craft of composition, therefore, we will see how this unfolds in one sitting. I hope it is cohesive and creates reflection and inspiration as intended. If life were linear with identifiable mile markers, would we …
A Million Little Things
As a great friend reminded me, "the list will always be full, and it will always be there." Yes, this is very true. Yet we determine the value and weight of the items on the list. It brings me back to one of the best professional development trainings I've ever been to: Leader in Me …
My favorite word is “Mommy”
Though sometimes repeated more times in sequence than I can handle, you can call me that all day long. It always brings an ounce of happiness and hope each time I’m called for. My heart is warmed each time she calls for me, whether it be for stress or in glee, her heart calls for …
Facing Failure
I do my best to demonstrate that I learn from my mistakes in order to become a better person, educator, wife and mother. In my opinion, seeking perfection is a fruitless journey. I strive to inspire greatness in others and be my best self most of the time. I'm far from perfect but I'm happy …
Our 2017 Christmas Story
This is my first attempt to do a "Christmas Story" for our family. There is a lot more to it than what has been written in this blog, BUT I tried to capitalize on some valuable things from this holiday season. Enjoy!
Inspiration Overload Download
Lightning has struck me! (per se) And my drive has become focused. I can’t ignore the information that has been enriching my life. What will I do with it all? I do not yet know. But I will be doing something. It all started earlier this year, and the more information I absorb, the more …
Attunement
Straight up- I feel a little hungover from all of the information I just received from the trauma informed schools conference I just attended. Maybe hungover is not the right term because I feel great; renewed, empowered and focused. Though I’m having a tough time summarizing the valuable take-aways because they were so powerful and …
Testimony
Brace yourself. I am more inspired at this very moment than I have been in a long while. I have NO idea what is going to happen as I sit and reflect tonight. All good things... but I'm like a child who just got the EXACT present they were asking for at Christmas. I'm just …
Jigsaw Puzzle
Here's a little philosophical perspective from someone whose never taken a philosophy course (though I've heard how enriching they are; since I'm still paying college loans, can I go take a course?) Nonetheless, there are a lot of opinions flying around here and there considering all the political shifting and uncertainties BUT this has NOTHING …
