Making the most out of each day
Today is my wedding anniversary. Legally, technically, still on paper I am married. Today I have been married for 10 years. On this day, 10 years ago, I stood in front of hundreds of family and friends (literally) in the church I was raised in and married my husband. On this day, 10 years ago,... Continue Reading →
So often I seek escape from this life that has become mine. But there's no real place to escape to. I seek escape from the thoughts that swirl inside my head. I seek escape from the feeling of unease that follows me. I can go outside into the open air and it can still feel... Continue Reading →
One of the hardest parts about divorce is the waiting.

I still struggle. There are times I still feel lost. There are times I still feel like I'm drowning. There are still times my brain goes numb and I forget how to think. There are times still times I wake up and don't remember where I am. There are still times the emptiness of the... Continue Reading →
Every day when I walk into the classroom, I want to set the best example that I can for my students. I want them to be as enraptured in the books that we read as I am; I want them to find the positive in their situations no matter how difficult they seem at the... Continue Reading →
