This is a term I've come up with for myself, and it's something I'm starting to really love. As I was researching in making sure this wasn't anything else to avoid confusion, I came across the 75 Hard and the 75 Soft. Those refer to following certain health plans for 75 days to help your … Continue reading Soft Days

Allow Room for Growth
Growth, progress, and change are all topics I talk about often on here. Today, I want to approach this topic in a different manner. Not only do we have to be willing to grow, we also have to allow room for growth. Plants can't grow if there's no room. In the same way, you can't … Continue reading Allow Room for Growth
Time and Effort
I think, sometimes, a lot of people mix up or interchange the words time and effort. While these two are related, they're not always the same thing. I hear people tell me I do a lot, and I definitely do. But some of the things that I do don't take a lot of time or … Continue reading Time and Effort
Small Steps, Big Changes
The new year is in full swing. I'm working on the goals I've implemented for myself this year. I'm creating and improving routines so that I can make this year better for myself overall. However, I am changing my approach this year as opposed to in years past. Normally, I set myself up for failure … Continue reading Small Steps, Big Changes
How to Create a Complete Bullet Journal
I started this year with a fully made bullet journal. If you've been following my blog for a number of years now, you know that I created one to use in 2019. It was a good start, and I really enjoyed it. However, around May or June, I fell off of using it. A big … Continue reading How to Create a Complete Bullet Journal

Challenge Your Thoughts
As the year wraps up to a close, I'm spending time to review and reflect some of the things I've learned this year and lessons I'll take with me to the future. I'll do this more in-depth next week as I wrap up the year in a whole. But I want to take today to … Continue reading Challenge Your Thoughts
Changing Course
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. Things don't work out. Passions, hobbies, and interests change. That's okay. Sometimes you as a person need to change course too. What's really cool, … Continue reading Changing Course
Put On Your Own Oxygen Mask First
If you've ever been on a plane, you've probably heard the title of today's blog. "In the event of an emergency, please put on your own oxygen mask before helping others with theirs." That sentence isn't just good for planes, but it's also good for life as well. I don't like to make assumptions, but … Continue reading Put On Your Own Oxygen Mask First
Seven Powers of Self
One of the things I'm really putting in the effort for this year is figuring out the type of teacher I want to be. I am making efforts in classroom management and finding things that work for me. I'm not the strictest teacher, and that's okay. But I know most of my students are doing … Continue reading Seven Powers of Self
