Some times it takes an event or conversation to give you a reality check about something. We are all faced with difficult situations and tough decisions in our lives that often may cause us to complain. Regardless if it is dealing with your personal or professional life, complaints happen. I think one of the most…
The Reality of Competition
Hope you are ready for this ride! Are you in competition with someone? Is it wrong to be competitive? Is there a such thing as healthy competition? Does competition look different for females and males? These are all tough questions, but the answer may be on the minds of so many. Let’s think about the…
Progress Must Continue
It’s been one month (August 4th) since I started my journey to be a better me. This healthy lifestyle was not about weight loss, yet instead it was about exercise, self-care, stress relief, emotional strength, and so much more. It felt so good to see my progress at the end of August. It was a…
Results of Pressure
Do you ever feel like you are under a lot of pressure? Is it from your job, spouse, family, or other area in your life? I think we all experience being under pressure at some point of our lives.

Leadership And Power
When you read the title, I wonder what immediately came to mind.

Some days I haven’t been as motivated, but I’ve continued to push through. During this search for a “better me,” I’ve noticed that I don’t have to do things to perfection…
Been Away Too Long
I cannot believe it has been so long since my last post. Life often consumes us and makes it difficult to get to some things. I unfortunately neglected my writing as I was focusing on so many other things. I truly feel that I need to get back to focusing on my writing because I…
You are not the reason, but thank you!
People often forget that others can not have more control over your life than you give them. Why did you choose your career path? Why did you make that life decision? Why did you decide to have a family? Why did you apply for that other job? Why did you go back to school? Why…
Reflection from my professional development opportunity
This past week has been nothing short of amazing! I have spent the week in California gaining valuable knowledge that will prepare me for my future aspirations. A few months ago I was selected to take part in The School Superintendents Association (AASA) National Aspiring Superintendents Academy. This is a year long blended program led…
