fire.
Bloggedy blog blog… It has been some time since I have published anything. In August, this fun little animal-card-monthly-blog-theme really wove itself into day. – my day. Again, for context please read the January post deck. I noticed the fun messaging from the beginning. I often notice fun little messages showing up regularly in a […]

zebra.
Do you have a favorite month? I love September. There’s just something about September… My love for September may be a throwback to growing up in the midwest. In Denver, September is HOT. However, the mountains in September remind me of what I experienced living in Illinois for so many years. This wasn’t what I […]

Sometimes I feel like everything is a contradiction. As I am teaching my content again, I recognize interesting contradictions. Contradiction is a way of describing a world that exists within oppositional forces. Better said: a world existence based on oppositional force is set up to contradict itself.

trip.
If you are new to following my blog, I usually post on the weekends. I work in schools and it’s summer break which is kind of like one long Saturday. Enjoy this post on a June Monday… “When I create a time to focus on planning a road trip, all of a sudden the road […]

escape.
Summer road trips prior to 2022 were an escape. An escape from the story I told about the demands of the role I played in a school environment. When I took my own advice, and changed the story I told about the demands, the intensity lessened – it became manageable. Road trips are now an experience.

closure.
Last post for May. I need to put closure to something I began on March 26, 2023 with the post wait. The post wait. includes an introduction to what I intended would be an eight-week series of blogs that would ultimately be a compilation for the highly anticipated 😉 publication: Quiet Time. 8 steps to […]
