About

I have been in the educational field for just over twenty years as an elementary teacher, Cotsen mentor, and instructional coach. With each passing year, I’m learning something new and challenging about my professional and personal attributes. I enjoy writing and I wanted to take my experiences and thoughts to a new level of exposure. I was introduced to the Slice of Life writing challenge. I still feel vulnerable.

I am married to a man that supports my endeavors and cheers me on from the sidelines. His encouragement is my strength, even when I challenge his beliefs. I adore dogs. The bigger the better in my opinion. I currently only have a feral cat as a pet because I’m frequently traveling from the west coast to the east coast. He accepts my absences and greets me upon my returns. He may be a bit ragged at times, but I’m so entertained by my Caution Clay. I’m grateful he sticks around. I love the busy city life and quiet, quaint countryside. I’m caught between these two worlds.

From the words of Brené Brown, “You can either do vulnerability or vulnerability will do you.” I try every day to be in the arena, even when things get rough.
