2.18.18 There’s one particular image that is still haunting me, four days later. It’s from one of the cell phone videos that one of the students captured from the corner of the classroom. In it, the SWAT team enters the... Continue reading

2018: Transform

When I posted on my Facebook page that my Word of the Year for 2018 was ‘transform,’ a friend immediately posted a GIF of Optimus Prime and asked, ‘Like this?’ I chuckled at first and then I thought, ‘Wait. Yes.... Continue reading

Introduction: Self-Care for Educators

Last year I chose ‘intention’ as my word for the year but that never felt quite right (to be honest, I kept forgetting what my chosen word was) and in 2014 I chose ‘equanimity’ mainly because I thought it sounded... Continue reading

Thank you, Ali! Yes, indeed, lots of crap and lots of beauty, too.

Oh my goodness, Angie, United was in the wrong there, without a doubt! I so wish more people had spoken up to help support/defend that family. My heart hurt for all of them. xoxo

Commented May 15, 2015 on To Travel. at Lessons on Transition

When you were used to traveling by plane twice a year, you felt contempt towards people with ‘status.’ Always getting in line ahead of you, nabbing the seats with extended leg room, being bumped up to First Class. Jerks. And... Continue reading

March Check-In: Project 40.

I can’t believe I’m already three months into my ‘Project 40’ year. Didn’t we just ring in the New Year? Is it weird that I’m still writing 2014 on most documents? Do I sound like a crazy person as I... Continue reading

40 Things to do the Year I turn 40. Like NOW.

Some are new things, some are things I’ve done before and want to do again, some are things I’d like to revise… Swim an entire lap without stopping (that’s down and back, right?). See two movies, at the theater, in... Continue reading

Shift your focus. Demand—and declare—gratitude. Take all the pictures. Be still. Keep holding. Power pose. Read it all. Breathe. Close your eyes. Hold on to your heart. Literally. Laugh from your toes, through your belly, and out your eyes. Feel... Continue reading

But Being Old is Good.

So yesterday I wrote a blog post with observations that support this suspicion that I’ve had lately: We’re I’m old. And while all those things were true, I feel a need to write this follow-up post because guess what? Being... Continue reading

I bought a big bag of Epsom salt yesterday because I read that Epsom salt baths are full of awesome. They soothe achy muscles, reduce inflammation, help you sleep, etc., etc., etc. When I told my husband this and informed... Continue reading

It is December 31, 2013 and I’m bubbling. I’m spending time today saying good-bye to 2013 and deciding how to welcome in 2014. While I typically engage in a ritual to close out one year and welcome in another year,... Continue reading

What I've Been Thinking About Lately...

I haven't been publishing my writing lately but I've filled up an entire 300 page journal since October with 'stuff.' There's something about this, my 38th year, that's making me extremely reflective. So here's some of what I've been thinking... Continue reading

We used to take this trip every summer. Like clockwork. It started as a bachelorette party, followed by another bachelorette party, followed by just a cheap way to get some pool time, some girl time, and some drinking time in... Continue reading
