Ok With Good
I have a lot of education articles that come across my newsfeed. I read some of them and am left with the thought, “Maybe I’m ok with just being good.”Read More »Ok With Good
Mistakes and Accountability
Last Wednesday I messed up big with one of my classes.
It was getting close to time for the bell to ring. I checked the cabinet with the tablets and one was missing.
“Oh no. Not again.” Someone had truly taken one on Monday. I got it back, but I thought it was happening all over again.Read More »Mistakes and Accountability
Cycling Pet Peeves
I know the U.S. is a million miles behind certain cities in Europe regarding bicycling infrastructure and etiquette. But as I ride more and more, I keep finding certain things drivers do to be infuriating.

Happy Labor Day! If you’ve had a three day weekend, thank union members!!
And, yes, regardless of what some other articles and memes state, unions did lay the groundwork for the 8-hour a day, five day per week work week.Read More »Labor Day Lesson Planning
Biking Reboot
This school year I decided to bike commute part of the way to the school where I work. I live 25 miles away, so it’s not feasible for me to bike the entire way.
I decided to park my car at a local park 10 miles from work. The ride was nice both ways. Traffic wasn’t too bad aside from a few jerky drivers. But it takes me too much time. I was up at 5:00 a.m. and on the road by 5:30. I wasn’t getting home until 6:00 p.m. I’m a teacher, so quite honestly I still had lesson planning that needed to be done when I got home. But I was so tired on the days I rode it was a struggle to do that too.
Last week I didn’t ride my bike at all to work.Read More »Biking Reboot
Being Your True Self
As I get older and get more practice being me, I feel more comfortable in my own skin. Thank goodness! I spend such a long time carrying a sumo-suit of anger, resentment, hurt feelings, and probably more. I’ve been on the journey for over 10 years to let that go.
