At what point in life do we decide to move on? Move on from that which was our past. We go through life making a series of decisions. With every decision comes a consequence. Some are positive consequences and some are negative. Either way, we made the choices. Somehow, there are people who believe that…

Wow. It has been quite a while since I last posted. I don’t know about any of you, but life seems to be on overdrive. Sometimes I feel as though I’m a broken record. My parents ask what’s going on and I say, just work and school. It feels like that’s all life is about…

My ex-husband used to tell me often that I was always disappointed. Nothing was ever good enough. That I always wanted more…….a bigger house, better car, better clothes, more money, better schools…..you name it, he said I wanted it. You see, I was married for twenty-four years. Together with him for twenty-six. I was married…

I want to run away. I saw this post on Facebook that said I want to run away more as an adult than I ever did as a kid. Boy, that’s the truth! I sometimes want to give up. Throw in the towel. Call it quits. Just me? It’s that time of year when educators…

Have you ever been in a situation where your version of things is exactly opposite another person’s version? I hear the laughter already. Of course you have……we all have. How does anyone figure out the correct version? Who is telling the most accurate story? I’m often amazed at those who are able to “be someone…

It’s been quite some time since I last posted. Life has a way of getting away from us. I’m sure so many are able to relate. So many things have occurred throughout the past weeks. It’s hard to know on what to focus a single topic. The recurring theme for me over the last few…

Take a solo vacation, they say. It’ll be so much fun, they say. It’s the best experience ever, they say. Hmm…..I’m in day four and I am not yet a believer. Maybe it’s the circumstance in which I took this solo vacay. Or the location. Or it’s just me. I’m going to go with it…

This one is going to be short……and simple. I saw a quote from Dr. Seuss earlier and posted it on my facebook story. Sometimes you don’t know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. (Dr. Seuss) Wow……that is so true! Maybe even more than one moment, but a series of moments are…

Perspective is everything. I tell my students this all the time. We all may view the same situation differently and believe wholeheartedly that our version is the true version. Today, I lived defeat. At least, that is my perception. Others don’t view it in the same way. I actually almost hate to even say those…

Whew…..isn’t this the golden question? What defines a mother? It seems so, so simple. You give birth, or adopt, you become a mother. Right? Yet, isn’t there so much more? It’s so crazy because divorce really does change perspective on so, so many things. I sometimes wonder if divorce at a young age would influence…
