I think I needed the Fall. Summer was hot. Restless. Fiery. Smoky. Choking. It provided me with a much-needed move and a Canadian vacation. It helped give me ideas, think about decisions, but didn’t give me the drive to follow through. Summer was manic. I have to do all of the things I have to … More Soulful Sunday: Fall Feels
I know, I know. It’s Saturday…but I fell asleep trying to post this last night, so here we are. Positive relationships. We see and hear those words all of the time–usually in connection to how we should form them, search them out, cultivate them, etc. I’m talking about all types of relationships here, not only … More Freestyle Friday (on Saturday) 9/9/17
I’m a day late and the reason is this–I’m a teacher. I teach preschool. Teaching preschool generally means that there is no summer break.

Hello and welcome to the first edition of Freestyle Friday, a weekly post consisting of whatever I am thinking/wondering/freaking out about in that particular week…and no, I will not be rapping for you. I know, I know, you’re all devastated. As per my usual style, it will probably be a bunch of rambling, but I … More Freestyle Friday 8/11/17

Let’s get a bit deep, shall we? Over a month ago, a friend invited me to an event that took place a couple of weeks ago. I said “yes” immediately and then immediately began to question my decision. Why? I deal with some social anxiety from time to time, and even though it isn’t a … More Bloom and Social Anxiety
I probably haven’t mentioned this, but I love lists. I love making lists, reading lists, checking things off on lists…the whole shebang. It’s been an interesting year so far and I figured I’d share a list of some things of some things I’ve experience and learned through and some tidbits of knowledge that I let … More Year 26: What I’ve Learned and Relearned (So far)
