Life-long Facilitator of Learning….
New Adventures….
I hope to use this site to inspire all that visit with words of life and practice from a career educator, busy-working mom, and not-so-domestic wife. I know my stories and life experiences may not be unique to only me. However, my hope is that people may be able to relate to what they read and think about life from the perspective of others to empower them to make a difference in their own lives, careers, or family adventures. I am and will always be an educator. I strive to educate my family and to support the education of thousands of students, staff, and patrons I serve every day. Inspire…Empower…Educate…Change the World
