Where Have I Been?
I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've blogged here. This space is special to me. I'm sorry I've been gone so long. Where have I been?
I've been packing up and ending the inaugural year at my brand new middle school. It was a wonderful year!
I've been walking. Every day. Incorporating walking into my daily routine has been so worth it. I feel more energy. I feel inspired by being outside. I enjoy chatting with a friend or the silence on my own.
I've been writing...mostly typewriter poetry. I took on #the100daychallenge and decided to write a poem a day for 100 days. Currently, I'm on day 87.
I've been reading. I'm in the midst of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and I'm reading Innovator's Mindset for school. That doesn't include the news and poetry I read daily.
Finally, I've been cleaning and organizing and purging. Taking it shelf by shelf, room by room...and really being mindful of what stays and what goes.
I'm grateful for this community. You are always here, whether I show up or not. I will do better. I will show up to this place...the place that inspired so much of my writing life.
Your list reminds me of ALL the different things that take our time and focus. And how we can easily return to our foundation, home!
