Hi Everyone!

I’ll be first to say that it has been ages. I am super excited to rejoin the blog community and I hope to be more steadfast in my work here as I am almost done with my Master’s in Education (one class left!). This said, I’ve been teaching in the classroom post-Covid, and it has been crazy… so I’m sure there will be plenty to talk about! This gives me a reason to stay focused and use my time well to keep this up! :)

As everyone can relate, the past couple years were wild, not just because of graduate studies, but because of the global pandemic of Covid-19 that we have all been dealing with and continue to deal with these days. Teaching students online and being taught online myself, I have to say it was a rough one. I have to say in my reemergence from “the isolation days,” I have been reminded of what is truly important and worth my attention. I think my time spent on the blog was one of those things, and this is one of the items on my list as a result that I want to spend further time on. I also spent a great deal of time focusing on how to garden properly, which has been eye-opening and allowed me to really learn from and listen to nature. That in and of itself has been quite restorative.

With all this said, I am in a perpetual state of wow. Who says you can’t continue to get to know yourself as you age? Even if one doesn’t think it’s true, life seems to force it out of you.

That’s all for now. Next up, I’ll share about a recent trip my partner and I took!
