For my fellow Atlanta Falcons fans, this was… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Don’t Stop Short
Kermit Says: Go For The Impossible
Making a life-changing decision is never easy, and I should know because I made one over four months ago, but I'm getting a little ahead of myself. I never thought I'd become a teacher. I majored in English in both college and graduate school because I loved reading and was a great writer. I… Continue reading Kermit Says: Go For The Impossible
Wellness Wednesday: Avocado Salad
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! How are we feeling at this midway point of the week and the first day of February (can you believe it)?

Just off the heels of yesterday's post, I've been reflecting a lot about what it means to not only think about the life you want, but also actually go out and create it. That's not an easy feat.

Wellness Wednesday: Self-Care for Activists
In less than one week since the inauguration, Trump has taken action to repeal the Affordable Care Act, defund Planned Parenthood and sanctuary cities, build a wall along the US-Mexico border, and approve the controversial Dakota Access and Keystone Pipelines.

Tuesday Tunesday: Songs for a Revolution
Tired feet marched on hard concrete. Colorful and condemning signs took up more space than bodies. Chants and passionate pleas for justice, freedom, and equality competed against honking cars and opposing views. These are the sounds of a revolution. It's oftentimes unpleasant. It's both time and energy consuming. It's never easy, but most things that matter never are. As… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Songs for a Revolution
