Life: Teaching, Traveling, Serving Jesus and more

  Today I am thankful for the conversation I was able to have with someone. I never thought I would have a conversation with this person again. The first time I talked with them was a little over 4 years ago.  Today we continue the conversation which was freeing for me and affirming too. I was able to get closure and peace from the conversation. That that I needed that from this person. No they simply were a messenger. This February I will have been divorced for 6 years. Through those 6 years I have learned a lot about myself and I have grown as a person. I no longer let my past define who I am because the person I was 6 years ago is gone. Over the last 6 years I have been on a journey of healing and even though I don't like my past define who I am presently it doesn't mean that there isn't deep pain and hurt that I am still working through.  In all honesty I have been fearful of going places that I know my ex husband would go. I never wanted to run into him because I don...

I can't believe how tired I am this week. I guess i may have enjoyed my break a little too much. too many late night and lounging mornings. The last two days have been hard to wake up and get going. I had set intentions for my morning routine and haven't found my groove yet. I mean this morning I was going to shower before teaching but that didn't happen. Instead I showered during my lunch break. I guess that is perk of working from home. At least I was able to shower on my lunch today. I am hoping that tomorrow is the day that i accomplish a few things that are a part of the morning routine I want. i am hoping to do a 30 minute workout before work tomorrow. Hopefully this will happen. I am setting my workout clothes out tonight so I don't have an excuse not to do it.  Other than that I am still waiting for a couple more pieces to come in to complete my home office makeover. Once that is done I will take photos and write a post all about it. I can't wait until it is...

 I am not sure why but going back to school after winter break feels really hard this year. I don't usually get the "Sunday scaries" however I definitely had them this weekend. I was really irritable yesterday and just felt restless because I knew that I would be going back to online teaching and working about 60 or more hours a week and still feel like I am not doing enough.  To help combat the "Sunday Scaries" I avoided anything work related which I think made it worse. I did clean out my office and reorganize it. The new desk and light fixture should arrive later this week. Once I am completely done with the office makeover I will post it here.  Today I started my day with devotions which has been a goal of mine for 2021. I am currently working on reading through the bible this year and I am doing a week long journey about dreaming again. the devotion is to help women that are coming out of divorce or who have come out of a divorce. It was been really impactf...

 This last year was one for the books. However it gave me the time I really needed to learn more about myself and where and what God wants for my life. I had the time to really slow down and reflect on my life and the plan God has for me. Having almost a full year of being at home has given me a new perspective on life. I have been praying for 8 months about starting a blog. However I didn't know what it should be about. I have decided that this will be a space for me to share my heart. My passion for teaching and education mixed with home life stuff and Jesus of course.  Let me introduce myself. I am a mom of two middle school girls. They are my world. I am also a kindergarten teacher. I am a single mom and have learned a lot since my divorce almost 6 years ago. Having come out of a divorce and an abusive relationship I have learned so much. I know that it is a part of my story and it give me a new perspective and God will and has used it. Getting to be a teacher has been one...
