I’m a teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t mean ‘I have a job teaching’ (although I do.) I mean, I am a teacher at heart. And I really wanted to share what needed to be taught most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I see is a gap…The problem with being a classroom teacher is – you teach your wonderful students one subject for a year, then they move on. But there’s no, “what does the real world look like?’ class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So many of my students march off into the world knowing subjects, but not life. They have social media – but we all know that isn’t real life. It’s not going to help them see how to build their own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first, I thought this was going to be more of a ‘how to adult’ site. But teaching that requires more interaction with my students than a blog would provide. So I decided I would start here with a snapshot of my life. An ‘adult’ life. The things I think of day to day, the things I manage day to day. And, more importantly, why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How and Why I choose to eat\/cook\/feed my family the way I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How and Why I manage my money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How and Why I drive a 13 year old car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How and Why I choose how I take care of my health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How and Why I … whatever else I think of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because seeing it in action, and choosing to take what resonates with you and leave what doesn’t, that is how a person figures out their life. I’m a real person with a real life. It isn’t always pretty, it isn’t the most glamorous, exciting, or fast-paced. But it’s real. It’s authentically mine. And my life makes me happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I help even one person get to an ‘adult’ life that makes them happier, this blog is totally worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
