I've been MIA from blogging and writing. Completely. There have been a lot of transitions happening lately and it has been throwing me off. All of which are incredible and I'm so grateful for, but I'm also trying to figure out my balance. Teaching and trying to finish a master's degree is incredibly challenging, throw … Continue reading Transitions, Changes, and Searching for Creativity.

Polar Bears and Waterfalls
The other night I had the most incredible dream. I was walking on a very narrow and rocky path along the mountainside. I know there was someone else with me but I can’t remember who it was or if it was anyone I actually know. I was very scared along this path because I was … Continue reading Polar Bears and Waterfalls

Someone recently asked me what it means to be in a romantic relationship with someone. I have to say, I was really thrown off by that question because I had never really thought about it.

Those were also signs to me that I needed out of those jobs. Now, don't … Continue reading Confession: I Enjoy Going to Work

Now that I've been immersed in the career world working for other people, I realize that it doesn't work for me.
