“15 more days, 15 more days, just 15 more days until graduation and then all this will be over,” I chanted to myself as I sat down for yet another seminar on all the things I’m doing wrong in my elementary teaching profession (I’m not even teaching elementary). This journey has been the longest of my life. These struggles have …
Boundaries. They are incredibly important and something we so often slack on. My big goal for 2022 is the creation and implementation of new boundaries. All too often, I have found myself available for anyone at any time. This is a major problem. Why you may ask? Because I am not God and therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to define …
*This is a previous post I made about the Uvalde school shooting back in May. I discuss quite a few controversial topics from my perspective. It is absolutely fine if you skip this one because of the trigger warning. 😉 * A parenting page I formerly followed on social media said that it was because teachers do not have enough …
Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his …
*This is an old post I made for a friend’s blog last year and just now got around to adding it to my page. Enjoy!* Today was a big day. I got dressed up and wore heels for the first time in two years. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but it’s huge. One year ago this week I …
“You have anxiety,” the doctor said. My heart instantly started racing and my palms became sweaty. “What does that mean for me both currently and long-term?” “Hopefully, this won’t be a long-term issue. It’s highly possible that when you graduate, all your stress will be alleviated and you will go back to feeling like your normal self.” “How do I …
This week, I had a Facebook memory pop up which showed me on my first day of senior year of high school. As I get ready to enter into my senior year of college (finally!!), I couldn’t help but to reflect on where I was then and where I am now. I remember that last first day of homeschool …
One year ago today, our world shut down never to be the same again. One year ago today, we were hopeful that it would be a short time before we were back to normal. One year today, we might have been excited to get a few days off work – I know I sure was. One year ago today, COVID-19 …
I originally wrote this as a Valentine’s Day Facebook post in 2016. Looking back on how upset I was to be single for another Valentine’s Day, I can’t believe that something like this ever came out of my mouth, or onto the internet for that matter. I think this message is important for all people in all stages of life, …
Today was Sanctity of Life Sunday. This day holds many different meanings to many different people. Every year I write some post on Facebook about why I’m “pro-life,” but this year, I wanted to do something different than the usual. I’m really passionate about about kids and babies. I work in a toddler class at a preschool, for Pete’s sake. …
