Whew! It has been 2 years, 5 months, and 12 days since my last post, but who's counting?! 895 days of ups and downs and highs and lows, of inspiration and then writer's block, of ideas free-flowing from my fingertips only to be swept away by worries of mediocrity and irrelevance.

Motivational Monday: Get Into Good Trouble
It's been almost two months since my last post. I never intend to take breaks, but it feels like every time I'm motivated and inspired to write consistently, a new societal shift occurs that knocks me off my feet and leaves me floundering for a bit until I start to feel more like myself again.… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Get Into Good Trouble
Motivational Monday: It’s OK Not To Be OK
Hi, friends! How are you? No, how are you really? It's been awhile, hasn't it? My last post was from March 16th when we were just three short days into quarantining.

Dear Kermit: Managing Anxiety
Happy Tuesday, friends! Since entering the wonderful world of private school teaching, I have noticed my students are dealing with a type of stress, exhaustion, pressure, competition, and anxiety I don't think existed a few years ago. For some, it's debilitating. For others, it's embarrassing. But I want you to know anxiety isn't something that should… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Managing Anxiety
Kermit Says: Refuel Your (Metaphorical) Tank
Every Sunday night, my high school principal sends a beautifully crafted email of encouragement and wisdom to the faculty. Of course there’s pertinent information as well, mostly updates and important dates to remember, but at the heart of her messages are words of inspiration—and this week’s was no different. Just three days ago, I received… Continue reading Kermit Says: Refuel Your (Metaphorical) Tank
Kermit Says: Here’s To A Fresh Start!
Happy Yom Kippur, friends! For my non-Jewish followers, Yom Kippur is a Jewish holiday that recognizes the importance of atonement and repentance. It is a holy day, and for most, it is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. Now, whether or not you’re Jewish, you have to admit there is something so powerful… Continue reading Kermit Says: Here’s To A Fresh Start!
