A&E| 🎤 You Have to Breathe Life Into Art
🎤 You Have to Breathe Life Into Art One thing I’ve never understood about many indie artists is the way they create… release… then quietly disappear, only to return with something new — repeating the same cycle without ever truly being seen or heard. It’s like they’re chasing the next project, instead of building a relationship…

Blog Challenge|60+|What Makes a Great Teacher?
What makes a teacher great? In my opinion, being a teacher is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Especially in the United States, we’re living in a different era — one where teachers and students walk through school doors that may feel more like security checkpoints than places of learning.

60+|🏡 I Was Raised by a Village — And We All Knew the Rules
I come from a time when kids had the freedom to play outside — to ride bikes, run through sprinklers, make up games, and hang out on porches until the streetlights came on. But with that freedom came something sacred: structure. We knew the rules. Not just our parents’ rules — but each other’s parents’…

60+|✨ Becoming My Best at This Age
✨ Becoming My Best at This Age — Mindfully, Intentionally, and With Grace Something has been stirring in me lately — a quiet but firm desire to become the best version of myself at this age, in this body, with this life. Not some perfect version. Not some 20-year-old fantasy of what “thriving” looks like. But…

60+|🌿 Looking Back With Softer Eyes
✨ If I Could Do It Over Again… But Maybe I Was Just Doing My Best Sometimes, long after the dust settles, the mind replays what happened — What was said. What wasn’t. What could’ve gone differently.
