Keep taking new steps – before you feel ready!
OMG !!! I've resigned from my permanent teaching position. Brave to some, incomprehensible to others.

from unexpected mistakes to new insights
"Things happen — it's how you deal with them."
the art of slowing down
I don't have to do anything!
In July, because of all kinds of circumstances, my head was too crowded and my energy was low. My body and mind signaled that it would be better to just go with the flow of the moment. As much as I wanted to move forward and had plans that "needed" to be carried out… it was exactly that feeling of '...
