I have been swallowed up by Facebook!

Okay, maybe not completely . . . but enough to yet again cause me to go for another 2 MONTHS (almost) without posting.

So much has been happening, the biggest being my job at the school and the other being my writing.

I always knew I loved working with kids. Working with them in the classroom (but not necessarily in an authoritative position) and doing things like suggesting books and such. That has never been a question in my mind. But what I didn't realize was how much I had missed it. I will freely admit that my kids have helped me in the head-honcho dept . . . and I don't feel nearly as intimidated as I did when I was 21-22 yrs old.

But at the same time, I feel like I'm in a position to make at least some small difference in these kids' lives . . . and it's putting a HUGE smile on my face! :)

Now with the writing . . .

I'm finally feeling like I'm at a place where I can really put myself out there. I now have one published piece under my belt, and it's helping with both my confidence and my willingness to put more of myself into it . . . making it a priority in my life. And it feels DAMN good!

So, here's hoping that another 2 months will NOT go by before I post again . . .
