hi friend!

welcome back! yes, this episode is coming to you late in the day & is titled "early morning walk thoughts" but that's where we're at today.

as i was walking this morning, i was thinking about what my life might look like right now had i not left teaching & the thought took me by surprise. i started to think of all of the "good things" - salary based pay, better health insurance, etc., but i wasn't missing anything about the actual profession.

i then started to think about what i do have in my life because i left teaching & all of the experiences i've had since i left the profession that i wouldn't have had otherwise.

i wanted to share this with you because as 2024 comes to a close you may start questioning where you are, how you got here & if it was all worth it; & if that's where you are, i want you to look for the good. i want you to see how much you've grown.

but, if some of the choices you've made aren't sitting well with you, think about what you've learned & how you can continue to grow forward.

life is all about the choices we make & the time we take to sit & reflect on where we've been.

take the time to find the good & to celebrate yourself now. i promise you it's worth it.

then head over to instagram & bluesky & let me know what you think! xoxo
