January // A D V E N T U R E //
I don’t know about you, but I am nearly overwhelmed with all of the negativity, dissension, conflicting viewpoints, and division that seems to be threatening to overtake my heart and mind.

2016 Year in Review
Most years, I complete a sort of informal “annual report” for my life. I love to reflect upon the high and lows of the previous year.

Experiment Update || 02 ||

Back To Work – End of School Year Edition
It’s no new news that I went back to work this year as a full-time college English instructor. It was one of those opportunities that landed in my lap a week before classes began and instead of teaching the three sections of composition classes per semester I’d already committed to teaching, I ended up teaching Continue reading

Does My Life Reflect My Values?
