Not Happening
Recently, one of my friends from high school commented on a post of mine on Facebook. She asked if I was planning to go to the reunion in October. This year is our 25th. They’ve had reunions at 10 and 20 years, but now with the 25th, they’re trying to do it up big. My… →

It Was Everything
The Katy Perry concert was everything I needed it to be. Originally, that was going to be my entire post, along with a video I took of her singing “Roar”, which is the one song that compelled me to buy the tickets back in March. But, I’ll say a little more. It was absolutely amazing!… →

Contentment
What positive emotion do you feel most often? Happy, excited, content, peaceful…this is a tough question today. Difficult only in the fact that I know how good I have felt lately, but I don’t know what word I would use to describe it. When I’m at work—aside from when I’m dealing with annoying situations—I feel… →

It’s Been…One Year
I hear that Barenaked Ladies song in my head as I’m writing this. The one they sang about how it’s been “one week since…”. Speaking of one week, this week has been exceptionally amazing. SO much I can and will write about (remind me to tell you about how “Lisa Simpson” talked to me on… →

Connectedness
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? I’m going to keep my post short because it’s after 8 pm where I am and there’s not a lot of time left in the day. I haven’t written until now because when I got home from work, I went… →

Welcome to My Alternate Universe
Describe your life in an alternate universe. This prompt came up exactly one year ago. I decided to copy and paste my exact post from a year ago. It’s interesting to me because last year, who I would be in an alternate universe is who I am now. This was my original response: In an… →

In the Blink of a Year (part 2–the “aftermath”)
Yesterday I posted a series of pictures and screenshots that chronicled my year as the “acting administrator” of the school where I had been a teacher for 18 years. The stress and anxiety I endured during that one year as administrator was obvious in the selfies, the screenshots of inspirational quotes, and the random other… →
