Well, dear readers, we’ve spent the better part of the last three months breaking down my goals into actionable steps, and we’ve finally made it to the last goal: self care. I’ve posted about self-care before, you can read that post here. And I’m happy to report that the foot surgery referenced in that postContinue reading “From Goal to Action: Self-Care”

From Goal to Action: Teaching
You might not know it based on what I focus on in my writing, but I am a teacher. I’m an elementary music teacher, which brings its own set of challenges and rewards, but I’m also a teacher outside of the classroom. Over the years, I’ve taught professional development classes to my colleagues, I’ve taughtContinue reading “From Goal to Action: Teaching”
From Goal to Action: Home Life
Housekeeping. Besides ironing and grocery shopping, it’s probably my least favorite chore. And for years, I’ve had loads of help with this area of my life: assigned weekly chores for my children to help complete. But now that they are older and have their own lives, it doesn’t quite work to have a chore chartContinue reading “From Goal to Action: Home Life”
From Goal to Action: Life Rhythms
The needles click-clack in rhythm with Murder, She Wrote, and I sit at her feet, mesmerized by the sound, the way her fingers deftly throw the yarn for each new stitch, the way the blanket seems to magically unfurl with each new row. I learned the art of yarn craft, first knitting and later crochet,Continue reading “From Goal to Action: Life Rhythms”
2023 Goals
We are almost a week into the New Year, and some of us have already given up on our New Year’s resolutions. That’s assuming that we actually set any. This is why, several years ago, I switched from resolutions to goals. Yes, dear readers, it’s that time of year again. Sharing my updated annual goalsContinue reading “2023 Goals”
{Menu Monday: 10.26.20)
Happy #menumonday, friends! I can’t believe that we are already in the final week of October. I love October, and in some ways, it feels like this month has flown by. While I miss our “usual” October-y things, like cross country meets and more apples than I know what to do with, I do haveContinue reading “{Menu Monday: 10.26.20)”

{Menu Monday 8.10.20}
Well. I did NOT see that coming. If you read last week’s Menu Monday post, you know that my daughter was getting married on Saturday. It was beautiful and it all went off without a hitch! It’s a little weird having a child who is married now, and I’ll be posting all about thatContinue reading “{Menu Monday 8.10.20}”
{Bravery and beta readers}
Trying to get brave over here. Last summer I finished writing my first book, a cute little story about a boy named Hank and his summer adventures with his friend, Jake, all while visiting his Great-Aunt Leova and Great-Uncle Henry. Since finishing, I’ve let a couple of people read it, and have spent a goodContinue reading “{Bravery and beta readers}”
{Word of the year: TRUST}
Living With Intention 2018. It’s going to be an intentional year for goals. Last year, I had a few goals, and I accomplished some of them, and others I failed at miserably. This year, I have more tools to help me be intentional, but more than that, I feel like I can really do thisContinue reading “{Word of the year: TRUST}”
