Things That Really Matter
Flashback Friday I’m late posting today. It was a boring, but productive day at work. Not many people in the office, so I kept my air pods in most of the day and listened to my “random awesomeness” playlist. Let me just say, it was an eclectic mix of music that kept me motivated today.… →

Grateful for Calm
I had a hard time thinking what to write about today. I don’t have a theme for Thursday. This week hasn’t been very remarkable. We were out of work on Monday and Tuesday because of the snow. On Wednesday, the students weren’t there, but we were there two hours late. I spent my entire day… →

Having a Conversation
5Ws Wednesday What was it really like to have a conversation in different eras and generations? I forgot what made me think of this recently, but I think it’s a valid question for anybody really, no matter what generation you hail from.

Flashback Friday—But Not Mine
With it being Flashback Friday, let me honor not a story from my past, but rather, the memory of past movies of this icon we lost today: Any child of the 80s and 90s knows Catherine O’Hara. Her most famous roles were Kate McCallister and Delia Deetz from “Home Alone” and “Beetlejuice” respectively. Though I… →

What do you believe?
5Ws Wednesday I saw a post on Threads yesterday where someone was reflecting on their religious beliefs and how they have changed. They didn’t consider themselves an atheist according to the definition of one, but they also acknowledged that they didn’t really believe in a god anymore. That made me think of my own experience… →
