I live my life in such a way that I do not have very many regrets. And I am thankful for that. But I know not everyone feels that way. I make decisions that I stick to, and I live with the consequences. I want to provide a thought process for how I'm able to … Continue reading Sticking To It
If you're here from social media, then you already know the news. I have officially resigned from my current teaching position for a new job outside of the district I was in. I have worked as a teacher within Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) for the last five years. It was my first job out of … Continue reading End of a Chapter
I've been talking a lot about being in the tunnel and in the midst of the rougher patches of my life. But today, I want to talk about something different. I honestly don't remember most of November through February. I can tell you about isolated moments here and there, but I can't remember the transitional … Continue reading The Light at the End of the Tunnel
First of all, I just want to say again a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. This past weekend was the first event for my business, and I am so wonderfully overwhelmed by the amount of support we received through this whole process and during the event itself. It definitely made us … Continue reading Set Up Parameters
I think it's so important to show up for yourself. And I don't necessarily mean things like "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" or "remember your why" (a common one in teaching that I just can't get behind).

I want to keep things under wraps for the moment. Maybe at some point I'll talk about it and tell you … Continue reading Peace
Welcome to 2025! It's a brand new year. I don't know about you, but I needed a fresh start in more ways than one. I hope that this year provides opportunities to follow that plan. Like with any first post of the year, I want to talk about some of my goals. I do this … Continue reading Start Into 2025
I have made a decision for myself. After some events that happened last month, I've decided to lean in to myself, who I am, who I want to be, and what I like. The first realization that has come from this is that I am and want to be soft. I like dresses and flowers. … Continue reading Soft But Powerful
I had a bit of a realization this week. Every goal you want to accomplish requires conscious effort. Now I know that sounds like an obvious statement, but I want to take today's post to explain more about this in the hopes that maybe you can have that realization too. I am a very goal-oriented … Continue reading Conscious Effort
