Haven't written in my blog for awhile. The last We Can Do Hard Things had been knocking it out of the park for me lately. So amazing. Resonates with the difficult healing work I've been doing. Life Isn't About feeling happy. https://aboutlearning.ca/2022/11/29/life-isnt-about-being-happy/

Mom to 3 wonderful children. High school teacher. After 12 years as an elementary administrator, in 2018, I decided to return to my passion - teaching. Always a learner. Abuse survivor. cPTSD. Learning about self-care. Love the ocean and sailing. I also like to cook and love to eat delicious food from around the world. She/her.
And leaves!
I try to go on a lunchtime walk each day, or at least as many days as I can squeeze in. During those walks, it's my time to be truly present with the world around me: the sounds, the smells, the sights and the feelings. And, every so often I'll walk to the local #starbucks and buy a drink. I take time to take photos of some of the things I notice during these walks. Taking photos helps me to be truly present. Lately, I've been taking a lot of photos of the beautiful fall leaves.
God 
Another thing I love is photography! Add photography on a sailboat and sunsets and you've got some of my most peaceful places. I feel very fortunate to live in such a beautiful location (Vancouver, BC).
Some hashtags as a bit of an introduction to me....

I'm sure there is more, but there's a start on a bit about me.
