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'm going to Oregon. I've never been. I'm excited (and privileged) to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, have a little spending money and friends willing to host me. And I am pummmmppppeeedddd. I am beyond grateful to get back to a favorite hobby of mine, to have lessened the likelihood of me catching & spreading this disease that crippled and continues to cripple the world. I can't wait to visit cooler temperatures,  wonderful food, natural landscapes and beautiful people. I. AM. READY.  Here's to science helping bring back a sense of normalcy.  Until next post....laters

August is almost over and boy has it been a whirlwind. Between traveling for work (Chicago, Philadephia & Orlando), visiting family (DC) and even a vacation or two (gasp 😜 hello Walt Disney World), it's been hectic. There was even a celeb sighting thrown in there for good measure, Jason Segel from How I Met Your Mother. Here's some photos to prove it: Philadelphia   Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Chicago/Detroit       Washington, DC  

It's been two years since my first road dog Lord Jaymeson (LJ) passed away. After this length of time without a furry companion and talking to J...we decided to foster and possibly adopt a new dog. After fostering an older dog with some health issues from PAWS Atlanta (shout out to Mother Gothel aka Mama G) and getting her healthy again we came across another foster named Findlai (pronounce Finley) at an organization named Wunderdogs. Fin's owner sadly had to give up his 9-year-old Jack Russell / Fox Terrier because his neighborhood was being redeveloped and many families were being pushed out and couldn't afford a home with their pets. This is heartbreaking especially when someone as kind and sweet as this gentleman has to give up his friend. We thought we could keep him while he transitioned but at this point he just wants his dog to be safe. So we decided to adopt him. LJ would have be about 11/12 years old right now and there are definitely some similarities between the...

I just wanted to share a few photos of the graduation trip: Until next post....laters
