Did you know the median average time spent reading an article on a blog is 37 seconds? (Source: NewsCred)

So that gives me 37 seconds toooooooo….absolutely fascinate you. Ha!

I took the plunge and officially decided to launch head first into my writing journey! I’ve always had a passion for it and written various pieces, but wasn’t sure whether I fully wanted to commit. 🚨*Gasp* Commitment’s scary!…shocker! 😂

If you know me from before, if you don’t know me at all, this blog will end up being a collection of my thoughts, insights and my personality put down, pen to paper…well…you get what I mean. Writing allows me to become more intimate with myself and with others. I can’t say I’m the most experienced at life, hell I can’t say I know much at all, but as a teacher I have this intrinsic motivation to want to change peoples lives in a positive way, to impart on them some lesson.

Now, I’ve worked with 8 year olds all day, every day for the past 8 years, so you may wonder what could I possibly know that will help you, but no lie, there really are quite a few similarities between those kids and most adults 😂🤔🤷🏽‍♀️. My job as a teacher is yes, to teach 2 x 2 and what is weather, but it’s also to observe behavior, notice underlying mannerisms and quirks, and then help those little people learn how to function in the real world. It’s my responsibility to teach them how to understand themselves. So yes…we deserve summer’s off! 🗣…(but that conversation is for another time 😏).

I will say this: If I wasn’t a teacher, I don’t know if I would have had as much growth emotionally or intellectually. And trust! It was a long journey! Wish it were more financially! 😂💀 Ohhhh, the joys of teaching. But teaching has had me examine myself in every facet, because if I don’t know who I am or what I stand for than how on Earth can I be entrusted to have it be my job to help someone else do the same?

The goal for me has always been unwavering: to have a lasting positive impact on the world. The why’s you’ll soon find out. I hope this turns into another avenue for purpose and positivity, and that you join me along the way.

I’ll be posting on here bi-weekly. So HIT the subscribe button, SHARE the weblink, feel free to chat with me in the comments. I can’t wait for what’s to come!

Con Amor ♥️
