It is so crazy to me that we're already a month into 2022. I feel like January normally takes forever to get through. But this year, it feels like it has flown by. I know, for me at least, that this year is already starting out full of chaos. There's been a lot going on … Continue reading Reset

A Year of Maintenance
Happy 2022! I took a couple of weeks off because I had a lot going on and needed to take care of other things. So unfortunately the blog got pushed to the side. But now it's the new year and I'm back! I feel like I mention every year how much I don't like resolutions. … Continue reading A Year of Maintenance
Spoons

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
As the school year is winding down, I'm finding there's a lot more stress and things to plan. 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
