It took me a few weeks to decide on my word for 2023. I wanted it to be a word I could live in every aspect of my life.
I wanted it to be a word I am intentionally living into in the personal, professional, mental and spiritual areas of my life.
As I was doing my self-work, I began thinking about my need to slow down. Not just in my calendar or my schedule, but within my mind. One way that I slow down and I focus and “zone-in” is when I am being creative-when I am thinking through my creative process. That’s when I notice I slow down and breathe slowly. Move intentionally.
But ☝🏽, it doesn’t have to be a deep and huge process, it’s when I’m thinking of things in life differently and outside the box. My creativity doesn’t have to be a lavish and a huge thing in 2023.
I’m so excited to dig into ways I want to live my word and I am excited about my journey!
Hello fellow teachers and friends! I began teaching in 2001. It is amazing to think that! I can't believe that I have taught so many grade levels and facilitated learning for teachers for so many years! My teaching began in South Carolina, then Virginia and the now in Georgia. My 21 years in teaching and education have taught me a lot about relationship building, authentic teaching and learning, life long learning and the importance of caring for self. I truly feel that those years upped my level of teaching in ways that I never could have imagined! My love is literacy and infusing diverse books in all we do. I am back in the classroom and I am also an Instructional Coach! I was an Instructional Coach in schools for 5 years and 2 years+ now as a consultant. I’ve written two books too! (If you would love to support there is a link in my blog) This blog is my journey. Hopefully you will stick with me!
