I want to care about what my students learn. I want to care about what they think of themselves. I want to care about the friendships they make. I want to care how they learn. But I’m one person who’s -exhausted -not living the life she hoped for -trying to keep my head above water financially As much as I want to care, I can’t. I’m already tapped out and need to care for me.

The season of thankfulness is upon us. I must remember those things in life to be thankful for despite the overt and un relinquishing challenges . I will continue to persevere.

Today was one of those days where almost everything that is already challenging about my Monday made it a point to elevate and reach new heights. It started out with... 1. A usual 30-minute commute turned into 90 minutes. Despite me following all of the GPS directions, it still didn't work out. 2. I had to cover two lunch periods pretty much alone. I had assistance for about 10 minutes and then I was solo. Mind you, this consisted of about 40 students. (Kindergarten-5th grade). I usually have help, but the person that usually is present was out today. SO...I pressed through both of these situations and am stronger for it. However, there are those days when I don't want to have to be strong. I just want to follow the instructions and fall in line with routine. Do you ever have those days? How do you handle them?

I just received a request from a Pharmaceutical Company to audition for a product. I just submitted my audition materials less than hour ago. Things are happening... And I'm here for it!

I've honed in on my community and feel truly connected! It is much more concise and in alignment with my vision. The people in Skool have been so supportive in helping me map this out. I'm so grateful to have found my people. I never knew an online community could have so much to offer.
