We all have aspirations we yearn to bring to fruition, dreams we pray will turn into realities, and goals we want to achieve, but sometimes the path to getting there isn't paved in gold. Instead, it's more like a dull, rocky, gross texture. Just when you think it's smooth sailing, you hit rocks you… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Dream it, Believe it, Do it

Motivational Monday: Stand in the Sun and Walk in Your Purpose
During the spring of 2015, I was traveling in Brazil with some of my incredible students, when I started to consider a career change. At that point in my teaching, I'd only been in the game for about two years or so, but I soon realized that what I thought I loved about teaching wasn't… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Stand in the Sun and Walk in Your Purpose

Kermit Reads: Everything, Everything Review
I'm a walking paradox, friends. I'm an English teacher who hates reading. Hated reading. Had a love-hate relationship with reading. Let me explain. I grew up an avid reader and was even teased for carrying a book wherever I went. I can't exactly pinpoint the moment when my love for reading started to dwindle, but… Continue reading Kermit Reads: Everything, Everything Review

Motivational Monday: Be All In It
Who else is in disbelief that it's April?! I swear I was just celebrating the new year and creating my vision board.

Wellness Wednesday: Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
After nearly five months apart, my best friend and former college roommate and I reunited this weekend for an old-fashioned slumber party complete with movie-watching, binge-eating, and yummy baking (yes, I licked the spoon). After a quick visit to my local grocery store, we were ready to make what turned out to be the most… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
Tuesday Tunesday: And This is Your Life
While driving into work yesterday morning, I was listening to Chicago's KISSFM with Fred and Angie--per usual--and they were playing a game where callers in their early 20s phoned in and tried to name 1980s and 1990s sitcom theme songs. As I listened to these "youngsters" try and fail to name these tunes, I… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: And This is Your Life
