I'm back! My last post was over a month ago, and I'm honestly surprised that I was even able to make that one. It has been an absolute whirlwind of a summer! I think I spent more time out of my home than in it. I'll run through a quick recap because I don't post … Continue reading Do What you Love
I live my life in such a way that I do not have very many regrets. And I am thankful for that. But I know not everyone feels that way. I make decisions that I stick to, and I live with the consequences. I want to provide a thought process for how I'm able to … Continue reading Sticking To It
If you're here from social media, then you already know the news. I have officially resigned from my current teaching position for a new job outside of the district I was in. I have worked as a teacher within Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) for the last five years. It was my first job out of … Continue reading End of a Chapter
I've been talking a lot about being in the tunnel and in the midst of the rougher patches of my life. But today, I want to talk about something different. I honestly don't remember most of November through February. I can tell you about isolated moments here and there, but I can't remember the transitional … Continue reading The Light at the End of the Tunnel

I set goals for myself and have ideas of where I want to be. But I don't want to take the journey to … Continue reading Quick Fixes
First of all, I just want to say again a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. This past weekend was the first event for my business, and I am so wonderfully overwhelmed by the amount of support we received through this whole process and during the event itself. It definitely made us … Continue reading Set Up Parameters
I think it's so important to show up for yourself. And I don't necessarily mean things like "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" or "remember your why" (a common one in teaching that I just can't get behind). I mean showing up for yourself, even when it's hard. I have … Continue reading Show Up for Yourself
What do you do when you see a construction sign, like road work ahead or a detour? Hopefully, if you're a good driver, your response is to slow down and be cautious about what lies ahead. Sometimes I wish that we as people could wear construction signs about ourselves. I would love to let people … Continue reading Under Construction
I think it's obvious that I'm not the same writer I used to be. This school year has been so rough on me for so many reasons. I'm trying to come to terms with this change. My brain is rewired from all of the things I've gone through. One of the things that I'm trying … Continue reading Focus
