Happy Thursday, friends! It's hard to believe it's been five years since I've been a student, and since graduating from graduate school (the first time around), I've now spent those five years in between on the other side as a teacher. With every new school year there comes a similar level of anxiety and excitement about… Continue reading Thoughtful Thursday: 6 Tips for a Great School Year

Thoughtful Thursday: Reclaiming My Time
By now you've likely heard about Congresswoman Maxine Waters famously and appropriately interrupting Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin during last week's House Financial Services Committee meeting. If you haven't seen the video, I've linked it here, but essentially Maxine (we're now on a first name basis) asks a very clear and direct question that Mnuchin "responds"… Continue reading Thoughtful Thursday: Reclaiming My Time
Kermit Turns The Big Three!
Dear friends, It's hard to believe I started Kermit Says... three years ago. It seems like just yesterday that I was delivering a speech to newly inducted members of the National Junior Beta Club, an academic honor society I was a part of many many moons ago.

This love runs so deep that my mom used to call me a walking TV Guide (which makes me sound so old and out of touch, haha). You see, before there was a… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Roll Down Your Window
Kermit Says: Be Balanced
Red, puffy eyes. Uncontrollable yawns. Broken alarm clocks. Sound familiar? It certainly does to me! We’re approaching the end of our first month of the school year, and I don’t know about you, but students (and faculty) are already pooped! #tgif In just a few short weeks, I’ve heard a number of moans, groans, and… Continue reading Kermit Says: Be Balanced
Kermit Says: Live
I recently had the pleasure of serving as the dorm head for a high school reunion for the class of 1954. Upon hearing that this particular class would be celebrating their 60th high school reunion (*applause*), I just knew this would be a piece of cake because they’d be quiet, neat, and in bed by… Continue reading Kermit Says: Live
