A journey in Self Discovery
Last year, after a health issue and surgery, I realized something needed to change. I put in my resignation as SEL Specialist/MTSS Behavior Coordinator and jumped. But not too far. My son had just graduated college. I was proud yet wistful. How had he grown up so fast? I went to his graduation and listened …
Change was in the air. Felt it, knew it and took steps to set things in motion. At the same time, I was not clear with what was next. I felt I had jumped off a cliff and wasn’t sure where I’d land. But ya know? As we get older, it gets easier to be …
I would be happy if only….fill in the blank. My life had been filled with that phrase. It started when I was very young.

You don’t have to DO anything! We were conditioned at …
Many of us have an experience. And in that experience, we determine if we want to experience it again. We make a statement about it and we create a story that determines our path ever after. Let me give you a personal example. I once tried a yoga class. It was so hard and rigorous …

Many times in our lives we may find ourselves in situations that question all of our decisions. Then one day we may get an “Ah ha” moment that brings such clarity and understanding. Because of these gifts, I remind myself of this wisdom during uncomfortable times. I remind myself that in that one precious moment …
