Happy Labor Day, friends! Hopefully, you've spent today lounging around instead of laboring away, especially since it is the last unofficial day of summer. That's right! For so many of you, today is likely the day before school resumes and vacations end. It's likely the last day you'll get to sleep in and spend more… Continue reading Motivational Monday: You Can Handle It

Motivational Monday: But You Can Even
Happy Monday, friends! You know those moments when something overwhelming or ridiculous happens, and people spout the phrase, "I can't even"? Sure, there are the funny and outlandish times that elicit such a response--oftentimes said through tears of laughter-- but then there are more serious things that happen and we respond in the same way.… Continue reading Motivational Monday: But You Can Even
Motivational Monday: Here’s to a Magical Year
Happy Monday, friends! If you're living in the States, then you know today is the day people have been talking about for years! It's the first time since 1918 that we'll experience a coast to coast total solar eclipse! Can you tell I'm super excited? Did the three consecutive exclamation marks give it away? Just… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Here’s to a Magical Year
Motivational Monday: Master The Door
Happy Monday, friends! It's been about 72 hours since I touched down, and boy there is no place like home. I've slept comfortably, been eating right, and working out again (all of which you can follow on the @kermitsays Snapchat--shameless self-promotion). There's honestly nothing better than falling back into a good routine to kick off… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Master The Door
Motivational Monday: A Tale of 2 F.E.A.Rs
I have a friend who is so terrified of literally everything, she practically sits at home and hibernates. She's even rarely willing to engage in serious conversations because she's afraid of the possible outcome. Sometimes it gets to the point where she sabotages her own relationships. Now, if you're thinking "this doesn't sound like much… Continue reading Motivational Monday: A Tale of 2 F.E.A.Rs
Motivational Monday: Embrace the New Moon and Celebrate New Beginnings
Happy Monday, friends! It has been exactly 101 days since my last post, and while I never intended to take a break, particularly one this long, I need you to know that it was needed in a way I didn't realize or expect. And it's probably no surprise that my return is one day after… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Embrace the New Moon and Celebrate New Beginnings
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
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. Like most people, I remember starting 2017 off super focused on reaching my goals, and while I've met many of them, a few still seem to be a touch out of reach… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Be All In It
Motivational Monday: Trust Your Gut
Being honest with yourself is, to me, probably one of the most difficult yet important things one could ever do. When we meet certain people or encounter certain situations, we get a small feeling in the pit of our stomachs. That's called intuition. Sometimes we listen to those instincts and other times we choose… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Trust Your Gut
Motivational Monday: Grades Don’t Define You
Happy Monday, friends. If you're a student, you've probably had a few days to rest and relax before grades were publicized. If you're a teacher, you've probably been grading and stressing over submitting grades by the looming deadline (forgive my absence, but I was doing the latter). Now, depending on how well you… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Grades Don’t Define You
