It's Teacher Appreciation Week! It's the time of year where you buy little trinkets for your students teachers that they don't really need! I'm just kidding. As a teacher myself, I love receiving gifts from students or admin to show that they care. But more than the gift itself, it's the thought that counts. I … Continue reading Appreciating Teachers
Spring is here! Flowers are starting to grow and bud; animals are having babies. Life is being breathed back into the world. I've planted my garden, and I have sprouts already popping up!

So often, I feel like I am living life at full speed. I have goals, progress, and changes I am working towards.

Did you know that ships plot a course even before they leave port? They know the routes they're going to take. But sometimes it's necessary to change course. Life throws curveballs.
