A Day in the Life of a Master(s) of Education

 I had the incredible opportunity to go to the Paris 2024 Olympics. I love the Olympics. It's the one time every four years that the individuals put aside our individual differences and cheer on not only the folx from our countries but also the triumphs of the human mind, body & spirit. Truly the Olympics is a time when the best of us can shine and I'm not referring to just the athletes. Paris is also one of my favorite places in the world so having the opportunity to combine things I love in one fantastic trip was LITERALLY a dream come true. I was recently visiting my folx and found a childhood journal in which I wrote a Bucket List. The movie starring Morgan Freeman had been released recently and so it was fresh on my 13/14 year old brain even though the characters are nearing the end of the journey on the earth. In any case created my own bucket list. Alongside the ones I grew out of (get married, have a kid) were ones I still haven't achieved (learn to swim & f...

I got the opportunity to check another continent off of my list. I traveled to Buenos Aires & South America to explore culture, food, wine and more. Though my Spanish skills leave much to be desired, the wonders of technology allowed me to experience so much at my leisure.

The people of BA were kind, thoughtful,  helpful and I cannot wait for the opportunity to go back and explore more of not only Argentina but of South America. Here are some photos from the trip. Until next post...laters

For a really long time I felt like I didn't have a hobby. I garden for a living, have zero creative talent (i.e. crafting,  painting, singing etc) and generally just like doing a variety of things, whenever folx would ask : What's your hobby? What do you like to do?...I'd draw a blank. I'd ask myself well...what do you like to do 🤣? In doing so I came to a couple important thoughts/stances. 1) I don't need to define a "hobby". I don't need outside validation that the things I enjoy doing qualify as "hobbies". I've never really been one to feel like I have to have validation in most other areas of my life...why should this be any different 🤷🏿‍♀️. 2) I DO have hobbies,  just ones that may not necessarily fall into one's mind initially when you hear the word hobby.  3) See 1) & 2).  Alright, so now that that's cleared up on to the reason for this post! One of my hobbies is traveling and exploring a new place. People are fascin...
