Today I honor Martin Luther King’s eloquence, wisdom and bravery. I see you Dr. King — your fire will never diminish. Your light will never ever be put out.

As we head into this weekend, our last before the storm begins, I am reminded of what I can control.

My home. My family. My own peace of mind.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ready to fight like hell. I just know I'm going to need to look out for my own wellbeing as I do.

Sending love to all today. ❤️

Using AI as a reader, I asked Gemini to generate an image of what the estate Self-Reliance in the novel The God of the Woods could look like, and I love that I now have a better visual than my imagination can muster. #BookSky 📚💙 #AI #TheGodOfTheWoods #ImageGeneration

“Every life is different because you passed this way and touched history.” Just finished #ThePoisonwoodBible by Barbara Kingsolver, a most ambitious historical fiction told by 5 captivating female characters. I have so much to think about. #BookSky 💙📚 5/5 ⭐️

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

To all teachers: Happy winter break! May you sleep as late as you like, pee as often as you wish, enjoy work-free evenings, & live YOUR life as much as you please. #TeacherLife #EduSky 🍎 #WinterBreakIsHere

This school year seems to be going by pretty quickly (hallmark of a good class), but this week literally feels like FIVE YEARS. There is no tired like teacher tired. #TeacherLife #EduSky

You say: Two more days until winter break!
Teachers say: *You* try teaching two more days and survive it.

Confessions of human enablers: My feline has just discovered the ecstasy that is Churu. Now she’s on alert any time anyone is in the kitchen making any plastic unwrapping sound. I’m not sure who’s happier: my cat or her humans 😬. #CatMama 🐾

Cat, on a wintry, December afternoon: Your lap is the warmest, bestest, & coziest spot to be. I love curling up here and getting occasional pets & kisses from you.
Cat, when heater turns on: See ya later, sucka!

When you see your babies (former students) become taller-than-you versions of themselves (high schoolers), you marvel at the craft of human development. And you marvel at the laggard way with which you retrieve their names from your rusting Rolodex as you chat & smile real big. #Teacherlife #EduSky

Me: I wish more people knew all the ridiculous things we have to survive on top of planning & teaching. 👩🏻‍🏫
Also me: I experience rewards from making connections that few people will have the privilege to know. 🥰
