I don't know about you, but I would not be where I am without the support of the people within my circle. My friends and family provide me so much support. They lift me up in the bad times and keep me sustained in the good times. My brain likes to lie to me. It … Continue reading The Support of Good People
I don't know about you, but I'm not very good at asking for help. I like to do most things on my own and be independent. It's hard for me to admit that I need help. But I'm trying. I'm working on it. I'm also the kind of person that I ask for help as … Continue reading Asking for Help
I've been learning a lot about myself here recently. I'm still growing and working on who I am now, and who I want to be. But one thing I feel I've really learned recently is to bloom where you're planted. I have spent a lot of my life wishing certain things were different or looking … Continue reading Bloom Where You’re Planted
Life is starting to get busy. I have something going on every single weekday (and at least one thing most weekends) for the next around eight weeks. It's a lot, and it feels like a lot. I read my post about My Worst Semester the other day. I remember what that felt like, and what … Continue reading Scheduling
Happy 2023! I hope you had a good holiday (whatever you celebrate), and your New Year's celebration was everything you wanted! It's that time of year where everyone sets goals for themselves and "resolutions." (I say every year how much I don't like that word). Resolutions are "I resolve to do this," but to me, … Continue reading A New Year, but How “New” are You?
It's the last day of school for my students. It's also the last post I'm going to make for the year. I'm closing out the year on two different fronts. From a professional standpoint, I've done a lot of growth. I attended a teaching conference this year. I'm implementing some new policies and procedures. I'm … Continue reading Closing out the Year
You ever have that moment where a lightbulb goes off in your head? Yeah same. I just had this happen last week. So I wanted to share my story. You see, I had set up a tracker for myself. I'm working on being better in multiple areas to improve my health overall. However, the tracker … Continue reading Setting Yourself up for Success

In addition, here in the United States, there's also the NFL (football), the NBA (basketball), and the NHL (hockey) currently ongoing with the MLB (baseball) starting soon and MLS (soccer)just ending. I … Continue reading Being a Good Fan
Life is a balance. And lately my life has been so far out of balance that I almost didn't post today. But I'm working on it. See life isn't just one component. It's a stool, and if one of the legs of the stool are shorter or are gone completely, the stool will either wobble … Continue reading Balance
I'm almost positive I'm not alone when I say ot feels like there's a lot on my plate. I have a lot that I need to balance and juggle. I also feel that once I let one thing go, my brain tells me I'm a failure and I start dropping other things. So then, when … Continue reading Sorting Out Priorities
