Every day is a new beginning. I didn't start understanding and appreciating that until I started teaching, but this isn't something that just applies to teaching. When I was student teaching, my cooperating teacher told me that every day is new. That's such a cliche saying. But then I watched him practice that. He never … Continue reading New Beginnings

Update: Why I Started my Blog
I posted a long time ago about why I started my blog. But that was over 4 years ago! A lot has changed since then. I've changed since then. If you're curious, the link to that original post is Here. Many of those things still are true. I still have lots of thoughts in my … Continue reading Update: Why I Started my Blog
Feeling Anger
I talk about emotions frequently. They are a part of life, and you feel all of your emotions. But one I don't talk about too much is anger. Anger by itself is neither good nor bad. Sometimes you need to feel anger. The reaction to it can be either good or bad. I had something … Continue reading Feeling Anger
Push Yourself
It's time for another post about goals! You might be tired of them, but it's what I'm working for right now. It's still on my mind and still relevant to what I'm doing in my life. One big thing about reaching for your goals is that you have to push yourself. You don't grow in … Continue reading Push Yourself
Finding Passion in Life

A lot of my college-age friends are preparing for finals, and even my students are beginning to sense the end of the year is coming. For my class personally, we are finishing out content this week. We're … Continue reading Finding Passion in Life

In the 4.5 years I've had this blog (yes it HAS been that long), I have watched my followers … Continue reading Privacy in the Public Eye
Taking the L
I'll be the first to admit that I'm pretty competitive. I like to win and I like to be the best. However, in games, like in life, that doesn't always happen. I'm human. I mess up. I make mistakes. And many times, the hardest critic of my own actions and slipups is me. I messed … Continue reading Taking the L
A Year of the Pandemic
We have passed the year mark with the pandemic. I've seen a number of my friends posting about the last thing they did pre-quarantine. The world has changed a lot since then. But I'd argue that we have changed a lot too. I know I have for sure. Some of them were good, and some … Continue reading A Year of the Pandemic
Be Kind
Apparently February 17-23 is Random Acts of Kindness Week. Who knew right? I think it's a good time as any then to talk about kindness. Kindness is so important, especially in the world we live in nowadays. The dictionary defines kindness as "the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate." But to me, it's so … Continue reading Be Kind

Honestly, I had no idea if anyone would enjoy the content I put out. When I first started … Continue reading Three Years and Counting
