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

I cried at work today. It's been a long time since I've been so frustrated that it presented itself as tears. It wasn't very long and almost stopped as quickly as it started but it made me think of a few things. If I didn't have the boss (who I was on the phone with at the time) that I have, would I have felt comfortable, seen and understood in that moment? Would I have told them what was happening and articulate why I felt the way I did which led to the tears? Did the tears help? I don't know the answers but I'm glad to be able to ask the questions. Until next post....laters

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. I spent some time with my nephew,  drank tons of wine, danced Tango & had such a beautiful time. 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

A year ago today, some folx decided after hearing a dude talk that it was a good idea to barge into a space and disrupt it. Violently. Destructive. Anarchy. What has since been referred to as the Capitol Insurrection has changed the fabric of my world. I've always had the thought that life is short so enjoy the ride. Sometimes rides are thrilling,  boring,  fun and scary. On that day, life was scary. People I love were just going about their daily life when the decisions of other people affected them adversely. I had flashes of September 11 & April 16. Dates that fundamentally changed me.  As I reflect now on a new date on that list, I try to think of the little things that make me smile.  New houseplants. Family. My dog. Starbucks iced chai. Doctor Who. Steven Universe. J.  It's through this I can continue. Through these I'll stay on the ride and try to enjoy it.
