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.

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.

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.

✨ 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.
